Happy #screenshotsaturday! I'm knees-deep in boss fight code and updated pitch deck work, so here's a little shot of the current title screen, just cause I don't think I've shared it #pixelart #gamedev

🎉Happy #screenshotsaturday, all. While working through boss mechanics, I've started implementing dialogue on the side! Pleased with the way character portraits change the experience #gamedev #pixelart

♨️ Happy #screenshotsaturday, all. A small visual update this week, with a new time-based singing interaction. This is now how the player character draws energy! 〰️ #pixelart #gamedev

This is such a good take. On a personal note, half my enjoyment of Secret of Mana - and a motivator for me to start drawing character designs - came from the photos of the character sculptures in the manual, something that never appeared anywhere in-game. There’s tons we can do with the full package

Inspired by the great @kenney.nl, if you've been hit with one of the horrendous #gamedev #layoffs, we'd love to give you things. Offer ends when form is closed. 💚 lab.to/YSClaim

Getting a lot of eyeballs at the moment, so, if you’ve also announced an indie game recently, reply here and show off your wares with a trailer. If you’re reading this later, go checkout these games and get them wishlisted (you know, just like you’ve already wishlisted Vampirium: 1997)

The new Switch eShop is def snappier and easier to use but it makes me feel sad that the old loading animation is gone. Lost a little bit of Nintendo magic
🌞Happy #screenshotsaturday, all! Other new gameplay features are too WIP to show off atm, but here are some cool camera updates that let me create additional room boundaries and just generally make things more cinematic 🎥 #gamedev #indiegames #pixelart

Lazy River was featured at Summer Game Fest via Day of the Devs! I'm doing all the music, sound design (100% original, recorded specifically for the game!) & implementation. It's so much fun and extremely silly. youtu.be/OBxP0xlyBXg?...

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.
