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.

There's no need for anyone to get hurt

After a really long break from making games completely independently, my team and I have started working on our new game, Dark Queen I'm very excited to show off our progress and hear feedback from GameJolt community! Let us know what you think

Hop! Hop! ... Getting closer to release! :D #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

I tweaked the old tileset a bit and now it looks way better

Our Discord server is live!

We’re also gearing up for a playtest in the near future, and we’ll be looking for dedicated testers directly from our Discord community.

How we made our combat more juicy

During playtesting sessions we realized that our combat system didn't feel as engaging as it should.

Read about the steps we took to make it feel more impactful

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)

These final tasks always feel like this. Anyways, game should be ready for release this Monday! :D
