Finished this just now! Fun little thing, I recommend it for those who want to roam around in a semi-open platforming play space. As a big 3D Platformer Enjoyer, I am satisfied.

Happy 12th anniversary, Freedom Planet! I've grown a lot as a game dev and person since I worked on this game, but it will always hold a special place in my heart as the game that changed my life. Thank you for playing it and for supporting me. I'll never stop creating as long as I'm able to. 💜

another playtesting session that went well today! god i hope this game is actually good lol
I'm gonna be streaming some more FP2 dev commentary in an hour! I'll probably be chattering a lot about the next sections of the game, because they're where the boss fights started getting tougher and therefore had more complicated Design Considerations www.twitch.tv/willfb

i'm finally about to have a new build ready for unearth but i've stepped on like 10 different metaphorical rakes in the process
Was looking over some art stuff for Unearth and found myself thinkin' about how Geena's portrait art is the result of me gradually picking at things until I had the requisite pixel art knowledge/confidence to make a breakthrough of some kind, several times over seven years.
Think I'm gonna stream for the first time in a hot minute. Did you know I've never actually beaten FP2 despite working on the game for a year? It's true! Starting in 10 minutes: www.twitch.tv/willfb
One of the major parts of Unearth is taking on single-room Challenges that'll often be a little more thinky than what you'll find in hubs or stages. Some of these rooms may look like a lot, but they'll often have multiple solutions - I've shown two here, and I know of at least two more! #godot
so edgedrive and i just crashed out for like 3 hours because we realized that their exports were displaying weirdly for multiple reasons, one of which appeared to be aseprite being confused about their OLED monitor. anyway we've gotten on top of the issue and the bg they're working on looks So Good
