The .50 cal is holding the position, but supplies are running low. Time to bring in the ammo.

Been quiet lately… but I finally finished the base design for my infantry unit and started a pixel animation course!

Here’s an early silhouette test — first steps toward animating units for A World at War: Tactics 🫡

Still sharpening my pixel art skills! Here's a work-in-progress of a Japanese melee unit wielding a katana for A World at War: Tactics.
What do you think of the style so far? 🔪🇯🇵

🎮💥 WIP v3: Explosion with ground decals in #AWorldAtWarTactics
Decals stay for a couple of turns to bring the battlefield to life.
Thoughts on the timing and integration?

🎮💥 WIP: Explosion decals for the ground in #AWorldAtWarTactics

🙏 Apologies for the quieter posting lately—my day job has been really demanding recently.

Testing dark splatters (no light grays) that will rotate randomly on each blast.
Thoughts?

#pixelart #gamedev #isometric #WIP

Thanks a lot! I’m still picking up pixel-art animation, so your kind words are super motivating.

For #ShowMeSunday, I reworked an old sketch from our former artist into this chibi-iso landing craft. Styling practice in progress – feedback welcome! 🛥️🎨 #IndieDev #RetroArt #PixelArt #WWII #TurnBasedStrategy #TacticalGames

In WWII, the majority of Japanese officers carried mass-manufactured guntō—not hand-crafted katanas.
Experience this level of historical detail in A World at War: Tactics.

I know this is still a bit below the quality of the art I’ve shared before, but making characters is much more challenging. This is just a sneak peek—there’s still plenty of light and shadow tweaks to come.

It’s #ShowMeSunday!
Did you know the Gurkhas were considered WWII’s premier melee unit?
Here’s a pixel-art kukri I created—I plan to add them to the game soon.

Putting the finishing touches on my unit UI: here’s the new extended info panel with stats and description. What do you think? ⚔️🔍 #ScreenshotSaturday #PixelArt #IndieDev #WW2Game #gamedev #AWorldAtWarTactics #indie

My second pixel art experiment: M1 Garand rifle. Focusing on silhouette and contrast—would love your feedback!

Filling in the art gaps for A World at War: Tactics — here’s my MK2 grenade placeholder sprite! 🛠️ Learning pixel art on the fly until I bring on a full-time artist. Feedback appreciated!

A World At War Tactics - No Artistic Reinforcements For Now... But We're Still In The Fight - Steam News Hello, Commanders! This week has been a bit unusual: our lead artist has had to step away temporarily, so we won’t have new sprites for now. But don’t worry! Development is still moving full speed ahe...

🚀 New Devlog live on Steam!
We’re charging ahead with major mechanics updates: combat rebalance, revamped turn system, fortified defences & improved unit UI.
Using placeholder art to keep testing!

🎂 It's my birthday today!
And honestly, I can't think of a better way to celebrate than continuing to build A World At War: Tactics — one pixel at a time.

Thank you all for the support so far.
New things are coming soon — and I’m more motivated than ever. Let’s keep pushing forward! 💪

That’s awesome, Aria! Your isometric work looks great — love the use of color and character expression 👏

If you’re ever open to chatting about working together on a WWII tactics game, I’d love to connect and share what I’m building.

Let me know!

PS: If you happen to know someone experienced in isometric pixel art and interested in working on a tactical WWII game — feel free to send them my way!

I’d love to connect and maybe build something cool together.

#PixelArt #IsometricArt #IndieDev #WW2Game

🚧 Team Update 🚧
Our lead artist has stepped away from the project to pursue other opportunities.

There’ll be a pause in new art — but dev continues strong!

I’ll be shifting focus to gameplay, systems, and the less-visible parts of A World At War: Tactics. Stay Tuned

#IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt

We're working on adding more variety to infantry units — here's a sneak peek at one of the new variants!

Each soldier will bring unique visual details while keeping the classic pixel-art style of our game

A World At War Tactics - Devlog: Our First Month on Steam — Thank You for the Support! - Steam News Hello Commanders This April was a very special month for us. It's been just a few weeks since we launched our Steam page, and we have already received incredible support from all of you! In our first ...

April was just the beginning!

In our first month on Steam, we launched devlogs, showed off new animations, and grew our community.

Thank you all for the support! ❤️

Here's our first monthly summary:
store.steampowered.com/news/app/332...

#IndieGame #GameDev #TurnBasedStrategy #PixelArt

I can definitely see why you thought it was our game — it’s a really cool art style, although quite tricky to animate! That’s actually why we ended up changing it. We’re really happy people are enjoying the new style. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

I'm not related to Dead Ahead— this is actually the first time our artist is working on pixel art!
He had experience with digital animation before, but in other (non-pixel) styles.
It's just the two of us — I'm the developer, and he's doing the art.
We're really excited about how it's turning out!

🔥 Bringing the heat to the battlefield!
Our flamethrower animation is coming to life — still tweaking the operator's position and smoke frames, but we're getting there!
What do you think so far?
