Okay! That's the main menu officially done. Atleast with a bought asset for the background for now. In the future i'm thinking of comissioning a few different backgrounds for depending on where in the game you left off. Pretty happy with this! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

133 library adds in a day and 8 folks have tried it so far! Thank you to the ones who have messaged me so far with all the bugs you've found so far!

Overlaid two images for the logo for the effect, and now i can get to work on the save/load system, including a way to finally delete saves. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Main menu makeover? Finally? Now that the game's logo is done i can make it into pixel art and play around with effects, trying to get some bloom on the main menu and this is already getting trippy #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

environmental destruction anyone? figured incidental destruction next to useful (pathclearing) destruction really helps sell combat, what do y'all think? #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Alright exciting new stuff! Working on giving the game a completely new layer, i've been working on taking a page from the oracle of ages games and add diving mechanics! opening up a whole new range of possibilities with underwater scenes and puzzles #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Gamedev really is just all smoke and mirrors isn't it, i love messing around with the Z depth, it's going to get really messy when i start having to make towers though #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

continuing on the train of VFX, @emad-maged.bsky.social has created some absolutely stunning fire abilities and particle effects for the game! As well as the fire tiles i showed off a couple days ago. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

While on the topic of having new VFX, i've added taunting abilities to the game, which hopefully brings even more decent utility to tanks! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

found this absolutely adorable VFX pack, gives me the perfect stunned effect #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

While we're on the subject of dynamic tiles, There's poison and fire now! Speed still needs a tweak, but it's getting there. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

200 in three days lets go!!! #gamedev #indiedev

Does this look like an oil spill to you guys or do i need to keep working on this shader? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

With the steam page release, i can also now post about the trailer! Go check it out! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart www.youtube.com/watch?v=CO19...

I went to sleep last night, pretty happy that i got to 70 wishlists on the first day of my game's store being live, expecting i'd wake up to maybe 5 more. but it nearly doubled overnight??? I know it's not as many as some people brag about but this genuinely made my day already #gamedev #indiedev

I feel like vibrating guy perfectly represents me right now about the steam page being up. Does this count as an accidental self insert? #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

With the steam page now public, i am so happy to also announce that the soundtrack is now also going to be on youtube! youtu.be/ZilFJ7nw1nk?... Starting off with my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE piece so far! By the creative genius of Oofator. #gamedev #indiedev #soundtrack

HYPERVENTILATING RIGHT NOW #gamedev #indiedev

The steam page is nearly set up! I've added some quick screenshots, did notice they have some placeholder elements, which i should fix pretty quick, and added nice little gifs for the description of the game! All that's missing now is the capsule and we're good to go!!! #gamedev

Working with (and still working with) @thanabits.bsky.social has been a pleasure! If you haven't already, go check out their work!!! (also the whole getup with delivering the comissions with a custom card was such a fun pleasant surprise) #pixelart #gamedev

Than-A-Bit@thanabits.bsky.social · last mo.

Such an honor to be a part of this, I had an absolute blast! Make sure to follow the progress of this game. It definitely deserves way more hype!😁 Thank you, @studiotarga.bsky.social , for commissioning me on this project!🙏 #pixelart #aseprite #commission

I've slowed down posting a bit, but that doesen't mean development stopped! i've just been saving up posts to start up the daily posts again once the steam page lands soon so i can turn all the momentum into wishlists (I HOPE) Expect the steampage and regular content again very soon!!!

Just finished setting up my artfight card for this year. Since i'm still crunching for the nextfest, i likely won't be attacking much this year. But if you want some felt stitched attacks, drop your profile links! artfight.net/~nighttarga #artfight #artfight2026

Another milestone passed! I can't believe it's only been up for a few months and it's already at 500. I don't think it'l get to 600 before the steam page is live soon. Thank you so much to everyone who has sent their feedback and helped shape the game! #gamedev #indiedev

And now to get it into the game... #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

Making many bubbles one at a time? Nope, copy pasting across the timeline, just drag and drop lazyness. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
