Explore simply to discover the world, because it feels like home. Its secrets whisper of the past. Animals roam about, indifferent to your presence. Nature in Kauldron is both welcoming and mysterious. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
I'm Think, spanish artist. I program, draw and design my own videogames; I devblog on Twitch, mixing philosophy, art & jokes. I'm part of the Toad Sect. Oh Great Horned Toad King, give me strength to finish my projects! Kauldron portfoliothink.wordpress.com/portfolio/ka... #ドット絵 #indiedev #pixelart
The pumpkins introduce the game's first simple puzzles. They don't get too complicated in the demo, but they'll become much more thrilling later on. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Previously, special items only had an outline, but I wanted something that made it clear they were really special. So I created these particles that orbit around them while leaving a trailing effect. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
The highest point on the map is also one of the emotional peaks of the story, filled with tenderness. The skeletons have their own lore to uncover. Their stories have been written with care & players who take the time to explore will appreciate the details. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart
A classic. I added these placeholder light beams to test the lighting, and they turned out fantastic. Kauldron is still making steady progress—slowly but surely. Follow me, and you'll be able to try the demo soon!! #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
I tried making insects with a particle system and OMG! Looks like they're all heading toward a specific place... only they know where Developing Kauldron, I keep coming up with visual details. A lot of work but they add MAGIC #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Showing a bit more of the illustrations for the Kauldron cinematic. Protagonist and guide, face to face. An exciting moment :) #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #fantasy #NatureIsBeautiful
Keeping up with the illustrations for the Kauldron cinematic. The game features pixel art but the intro is going to be 3D; I swear it fits right in... trust me, please. Are you into that worn-out, vintage vibe? #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #fantasy #nature
I'm preparing the cinematic for my videogame Kauldron, and because of that I've been drawing like crazy. I tried to work with a color palette similar to the game's and make them look like old drawings. What do you think? A little sneak peek. #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #fantasy #spirit
Hace poco empecé un nuevo trabajo como dependiente en una tienda de mi ciudad. Por si alguien necesita leer esto:
I'm trying to find a composition I like for my game. There are still things I don't like and, besides that, I think I should add water so it looks more like a swamp and less like a forest. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev

A shy hermit crab that hides like a mole and, after a few seconds, reappears. A new mechanic added to play around with. Notice the asynchronous blinking of its eyes… doesn’t that make it adorable? #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Typical bounce on a mushroom, but with a different design to refresh a mechanic that appears in almost every game. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Hoy a las 23:30 aprox, abren Twitch para los habitantes de la charca. Estaré en directo haciendo pixeles y terminando su videojuego Kauldron. #Indievlog del bueno conectado con otro stream. Sorpresa! www.twitch.tv/thinkthetoad #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Two years of work behind these screenshots. Kauldron’s demo is so close!!! #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Trying to make this interactable pumpkin part of a cute little corner. Those branches are my hint that a special gameplay moment is close. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Maybe those who know me and still don’t follow it should follow this account. It only offers quality and good vibes. #pixelart #pixelartist

A #gamedev needs a #CreativeSanctuary to think, draw, and read in peace. What does your special room or corner at home say about you? For me, having a touch of nature is essential. #GameDevLife #InteriorDesign #CozyHome #CozyCreativeSpace
This wind from the depths of the earth, which is currently blocked, can be very useful to you. This way, I present a challenge for the player. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
What used to be just a simple rock you could drag around is now a curious nut hanging from its stem, throw it and use it wisely in Kauldron! #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Look at the waterfall, several particle systems (among other things) work together to create the falling water effect. The #pixelart purists will say it’s cheating... I don’t know, I was just passing by. (Making Kauldron) #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev
In Kauldron, visit your guide throughout the adventure, to be imbued with their ancient wisdom. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
Although the game is in #pixelart, the main menu unfolds in "traditional" art. Subtle particles and gentle character animations bring it to life. WIP, yet it already breathes mystery and adventure. Don’t you feel it? #DarkFantasy #IndieAesthetics #SwampCore #IndieDev #gamedev
And what becomes of the secret objects you uncover on your journey? They awaken within the cabin, a place that serves as a living, visual archive of your discoveries. #ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev
