oh no what am i doing today

She has fun. (More of the game manual styled illustrations. They're fun to draw.)

Doing some illustrations. I wanted to make them like the kind of thing you would find in old school game manuals.

Rusted Moss new year post cards that were extremely late cause we were busy working on Iron Bramble. It was Emma's idea to do a hobby horse which saved me from having to draw an actual horse.

Kind of the result of the modular font. This is still just a mock up but it is interesting to see it tile together.

This is probably not going to end up being used but I thought the gif of it was very satisfying. I was still learning how some of the engine stuff that Emlise made worked. The difficulty for me is that what you draw won't end up rendering how you think in the game.

I was really happy about this teleporter concept for Iron Bramble but this pixel art animation definitely tested my patience lol.

Made the modular font and just messing around with it. It is fun to see how it just tiles. (More video below to see it work with embellishments too.)

Work on a modular font. Will need to see how it appears in-game otherwise I guess it is just some wasted hours 🥲

Working on Iron Bramble now! Can't wait to share it with everybody next year :D

Backflip + Grapple upgrades shown in our upcoming metroidvania! We are focusing on having more unusual upgrades than the typical :D #indiedev #indiegame

Our game, Conservation of Bass, won first place in the latest GM48!!! It's a puzzle game where you play as a fish with the ability to swap with objects that match their size. (Law of Conservation of Mass... mass... bass...) You can play the post-jam version on itch: emlise.itch.io/conservation...

Commission done for the upcoming GM48 game jam! As it is the 48th GM48, I included 48 references to past entries and also hid 48 48s. It is where I first started making games and also met a lot of my friends there. Lots of good times in that jam, can't wait for the next one.

Our game is out now! Narrative platformer with rhythm elements. Lots of references to local Singaporean culture. You get to explore a haunted Peranakan mansion. There's food.

After School Afterlife made it into the popular upcoming! We're extremely excited for the launch of the game tomorrow. :) #indiedev #indiegame

Our game finally has a release date locked in! This started off as basically one of my first ever game jam games so I'm feeling a lot of nostalgia. Also massive relief that I can finally call it DONE.

Day 11: Pride

Did today's sketch for the advent calendar. Just nice being on vacation and getting to mess around with pixel art again without it being a game asset.

Day 9: Blue/Green

Art I did for the Rusted Moss advent calendar. I haven't been able to draw as much recently so it was nice to take a break.

Day 8: Hot Dog Did you know that 38.6% of people on our discord think hot dogs are a sandwich?

WIP background for our upcoming game. Spent today just blocking out colour stuff.

Walking through a happy garden! Oh my god, what is that?? #indiedev #indiegame

I think concept art has a tendency to look cooler than the finished product but pretty happy with how the rendering of our next boss turned out! Still not quite done yet though. #indiedev

Busy day today with our demo being out and my work on the next boss concept ongoing. So this is the WIP image for it. Will be in the garden area. #indiedev

Game my sister and friends have been working on together! Based on our childhood in Singapore which was very haunted but pretty normal in SEA where I feel I was surrounded by more scary stories than fairy tales as a kid. Not to mention older relatives telling us tales about pontianaks...
