#WeirdTober is about showing how the #gamedev sausage is made in preparation for next month's Weird Days event. This time we have a #timelapse showing off the process of drawing Courier Beware's #pixelart.

Two person indie game developer. "Every game has a crab in it." Courier Beware: https://store.steampowered.com/app/4579110/Courier_Beware/ Crab Attack: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2831900/Crab_Attack/ http://crabattack.org
Probably my favorite bug so far- the door got set as the speaker instead of the character. The door opening animation has enough frames that it actually kind of works. #WeirdTober #gamedev
Wrote a little progress report on how Courier Beware is going so far. There's a crab monster at the end: store.steampowered.com/news/app/457...

Since I didn't talk about it that well in the interview yesterday, I'll comment on Crab Attack more here. It didn't sell well, but we deeply appreciate the fans who enjoyed it. As our first commercial game, it felt amazing for anyone to pay for our work. (1/4)

WIP. Couple new areas/weapons. The Twin Jet allows you to control its angle, while the Turret locks into place when you start firing it. Did some work on the sound to make it less overbearing as well. store.steampowered.com/app/2831900/... #shmup #indiegames #indiegamedev
WIP. Some of the elemental reactions are pretty explosive. store.steampowered.com/app/2831900/... #shmup #indiegames #indiegamedev
The first two concepts for Connie. The trouble making mechanic won out over the protector of nature as soon as we saw her. store.steampowered.com/app/2831900/... #gamedev #indiegames #conceptart #art
