Showcase of the defeat of the Raging Conchfly
Silksong really plays with my nerves!
I occasionally have to leave it for weeks, then come back and try again with fresh patience. Am I the only one?
Just finished Act 2, now trying to unlock Act 3 — and today I finally defeated the Raging Conchfly!

Actually this is pretty good and not taken as far as I checked haha
Thinking about a name for a small indie game studio!
I’d love it to make a subtle reference to dachshunds (sausage dogs) without being too obvious. Something playful or clever rather than literal.
Any ideas? I’d love to hear them!

Combat update!
We now have multiple enemies in battle, and the targeting logic plus attack anchor points are fully working!
Also… what do you think about that top-down wolf sprite?

Hornet on the platform where you fight Lace for the second time after defeating her
Finally did it!
I defeated Lace (second battle) in Silksong. I left the game during Christmas for a break, and today I finally had the time ( almost 90 minutes of attempts) to take her down!
Now I can continue with the meal prep for the week!

Totally fair concern. Being honest: I haven’t fully tested screen readers yet. I still need to get comfortable with VoiceOver on macOS and Godot. But we have AccessKit since 4.5 and that's a big step forward. I’ve heard mixed feedback from users too, so real testing will be key!
I’ve been working on accessibility for years on the web, and I’m applying the same mindset to The Runic Edda with Godot.
Extended caption descriptions and persistent battle logs are now fully implemented and working.

Started implementing rally point logic in combat!
Skills now require more strategic thinking: upgraded abilities cost more rally, but can be worth it depending on the situation. You gain rally on your turn or with perfect parries. #TheRunicEdda #Godot #CombatDesign #UI #GameDev #BuildInPublic
Added a new enemy detection scene connected with the battle manager!
Enemies now have a vision field that triggers the chase behavior in the state machine.
They’ll also respawn à la Clair Obscur — only after reaching a safe place.

Just read the original one, I think lunch is not going to sit well with me today…
Hi Ana, I am having FOMO right now, what AI article did I miss?

Catch me if you cat
By taking the example of Golden Sun, I wrote this article about this approach to create video games (Systems Approach by Michael Sellers): www.manuelsanchezdev.com/blog/systems...
#GameDesign #GoldenSun #Loops #GameDev #MicroLevel
Nice article to come to when you discuss with people whose main focus is 100% accessibility in lighthouse and do not care (yet) about users!
New character animations are on the way!
I’m adding things like laughter and shrugs to make characters feel more relatable, expressive, and a bit funny.
Small touches, big personality!

Happy snowy Thursday from the Birka!
The world of The Runic Edda is feeling especially cold and quiet today. That is what I call a perfect weather to keep building and exploring.
Stay warm out there!

Dived into visual effects today!
I’ve been applying a factory pattern as Michael Games did, and now I can render different VFX depending on the weather — water splashes, snow puffs, and more!
Super flexible and fun to extend!

Some fresh updates to the combat UI!
Added new icons and improved the ally info panels to make things clearer during battles.
Next up: rally points and the logic behind them!

Working on the map system now today!
We’re adding markers, plus the ability to zoom and navigate around the map.
Still a bit hacky, but it already shows a lot of promise!

See you again this year, Ana!!! Cool that you are MD!
Improved finally the spotlight intro during cutscenes that I saw last in Chained Echoes!
I love it!
#TheRunicEdda #IndieGame #PixelArt #CutsceneDesign #Godot #GameDev #BuildInPublic
Looks very cool! Look forward to playing it!
Hi! Where did you find this jam? Itch? Looks supercute!
What do you think about the Run animation?
I’ve been testing it in-game and it feels great! Can’t wait to polish it even more!
Amazing job, @everlyjane.bsky.social !

We’re also on YouTube now!
We’ll be sharing updates about The Runic Edda in a new format—devlogs, progress clips, and more.
See you there too!

Details matter. That’s why I love adding special idle animations for characters—little touches beyond the standard idle that bring them to life!

Hi! I love A11y and I am trying to learn how to implement best practices in game dev! I would love to hear more from that!
Thanks for giving me exposure!
Another key piece in place for The Runic Edda!
We’ve now connected the Transition Manager so it handles both level changes and combat sequences seamlessly.
It is much smoother now. I just need cooler transitions!
