The Art Behind Dark Queen

...is rooted in iconic animations, and timeless pieces of art that evoke strong atmospheres and unforgettable visuals.

In this post we’ll take a look into some of the biggest inspirations that are shaping the world of Dark Queen.

We just dropped a new trailer for Dark Queen of Samobor (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71fXnpTUGZk), narrated by Sandra Lončarić, a renowned Croatian actress. It got showcased in Best Indie Games Summer Showcase 2025 hosted by Best Indie Games.

I added trampolines into Reap. I guess it's a weird to combine Grim Reaper and Trampolines but whatever, it's fun non the less. #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev

Here are my results from LD 44. Big Thanks to everyone who played and rated my game! :D It was my first Ludum Dare and I'm looking forward to participating in future ones as well. #indiedev #gamedev

Throughout our game you'll encounter giant Monsters inspired by Slavic mythology.

Awaken them at your own risk

Grim Reaper looked a bit weired when walking and seemed floaty when jumping so I decided that it's time to change his animations #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

One thing I've noticed with these new animations is that the Grim Reaper is now looking like his wearing pajamas XD #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

We showcased our game at 2 gaming events (even Deadpool played it).

People managed to tear it apart but that's just what we needed. Coming up soon: playtesting with our Discord community (https://discord.gg/RVZ2FZmabT)

Reap is going to be released tomorrow (6/16/2019). It will feature 24 levels that reward thoughtful playing, skill and patience.
