It’s really fucked up that I want a salad right now

/really/ dragging my feet on naming these guys but I managed to finish up the final evolution today so here's the full set #pixelart #fakemon #critterspoilers

I can’t believe in nothing just yet.

I can’t talk about the game I’m working on too much right now, but one of the themes of the game is “love is never wasted” and I need to believe that now more than ever. No matter where love goes, it’s never pointless.

i dont know this guy's name yet but i was too impatient to wait #pixelart #critterspoilers #fakemon

Fortunately, and conversely unfortunately, I will never be the same again.

Got an hour to spare today or tomorrow? Leave some kind comments on things you enjoy. Tell a developer they're doing a great job, or let an artist know their work is incredible. It can make a big difference in someone's day, trust me.

Y’all ever go through something so traumatic that it makes you funny? Because I am hilarious right now.

tall grass autotiling is set up, as well as the first stab at the fake depth. I think this is technically fine, but if I think of any tricks to make it more seamless I'll give them a shot. #gamedev #pixelart

Probably the worst code I've ever written but the game now displays locations of all uncollected treasures - once you've completed the game at least once and "continue" #gamedev #indiedev Check out/wishlist/etc etc here store.steampowered.com/app/4551640/...

Honestly, it’s really nice to see how much I’ve improved with gamedev over time. I’m glad I saved my old work so I can look at it and see how far I’ve come.

Set up the menu clock and built out a solid message box system, I think. I'd need to adjust it if I wanted in-line formatting, but I don't think I'll add that unless I really feel I need it. #gamedev #pixelart

I’ve been quietly working on a big game lately and I want to show it but it’s still too early. A friend of mine is helping me and I’m so excited to share about it. I feel like it’s a really unique concept with a nice retro feel.

ok, I now have an efficient text formatting script to make basic textboxes like this easier to make. as usual I'm using Monogram by @datagoblin.bsky.social because I still think its the pinnacle of legible and compact monospace pixel fonts. #gamedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday

Setting up the basics. #gamedev #pixelart

Another trio complete! #gamedev #pixelart #fakemon #kilnposting

scrounged up the motivation to at least do one revision before bed. #pixelart #fakemon

I’ve been quietly reflecting since that last game jam. I noticed a LOT of people were upset they didn’t win or get featured, and I’m like… girl, it doesn’t matter. It’s a game jam, not a publishing deal. It’s nice to be recognized, but… make games because you want to, not to get noticed.

I think the next game I make will be a joint venture with one of my buddies and it’ll be a Zelda-like with a neat twist. 👀

If you wanna support someone who makes games for the love of the craft, while I work on my next one, check out Chico's Rebound! This was about 1.5 years of hard work so I want as many people to enjoy it as possible #indiegames #gamedev

having so much fun, lol. #pixelart

I need to level up my pixel art more. I might have to learn how to appropriately apply anti-aliasing and that’s always been something I felt was missing from the stuff I do.

I’m gonna fix this clown game up a bit, finish adding some QoL improvements and mobile controls, and then it’s off to the next game for me. Not sure what to make yet.

I’m not entirely sure how I could do anything more on theme than what I did, but overall I’m happy with the results! 37 out of 401 is nothing to sneeze at.

"abandoned baseball diamond" is one of the early game biomes I've had planned for ages, so I was excited to test it out here. I haven't designed tall grass yet, but other than that I think the tileset is very much handling the job! #pixelart #gamedev

Actually, having said that, I think this is the actual play right here. #gamedev

I keep staring at this layout and trying to see any other way of doing it and genuinely I think it would just boil down to "making the ux worse just to be different from pokemon". We'll see, maybe I'll find something even better, but for now I think I shouldn't fight it. #gamedev

Who knew making a dialogue system with skippable dialogue would be what really got me on this silly clown project.
