Here’s another level I’m working on. I really wanted to make a level centred around a giant dinosaur, so I came up with the idea of scaling giant trees to clean the back of a giant sauropod 🦕 How’s it look so far? #gamedev #IndeGame #IndieDev #lowpoly #PixelArt #MadeWithUnity

Started working on a cave level for my game! 🍄 Just focusing on the look of things right now before I expand on mechanics. I'm pretty happy with how it's looking so far, what do you think? #gamedev #IndeGame #IndieDev #lowpoly #PixelArt #MadeWithUnity

Testing out adding a little train of the dino friends you save in Dino Cleanup. Been reworking the hub level so I thought this would be a fun touch while you’re running between levels! #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #lowpoly #dinosaurs

Happy #screenshotsaturday! Here's some WIP of the overdrive upgrade, which super powers the vacuum for a limited time. Thought it would be fun if it let you blast through obstacles you otherwise couldn't traverse. What do you think? 🌪️ 🦖 #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #madewithunity

Took a little web dev detour for Dino Cleanup and ended up making a little interactive website for it, let me know what you think! Back to working on the game now, I’ve got big changes in the works! #WishlistWednesday #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #webdev dinosire.com/dinocleanup/

Spent the holidays looking through websites on @neocities.org and I looove the old school art pieces people are making. I had so much fun I ended up making a page myself, check it out below! 🦖 🔗 ⬇️ dinosire.com

Currently visiting Japan and I’m loving this little dino logo in the National Museum of Nature and Science, lookit his lil arm! 🦖 🇯🇵

Made a little video giving an overview of Dino Cleanup, what do you think? #indiegame #wholesomegames

Here’s some of the friends you’ll make in my wholesome dinosaur game. What do you think? Any other dinosaurs I should add? Going for a late-Cretaceous ish vibe. #indiegame #dinosaurs #wholesomegames #n64 #papermario #psx #pixelart #ドット絵　#friends #madewithunity #lowpoly

Messing around with adding a little hat store. The idea is to exchange secret golden dragonflies in each level for a random hat, gachapon style (but no duplicates). I need to add many hats still, and animations haha #indiegame #wholesomegames #hats #pixelart #dinosaurs #unity #collectible #gachapon

🚨The Catalog Fall Sale wraps up tomorrow morning at 10AM PT!! Snag some classics + fan-favorites at a great discount before it's too late ⚡ play.date/games 👾

Everything’s better with hats! Made this lil witchy hat for my game 🧙‍♀️ The idea is to make these unlockable after getting enough secret collectables hidden in each level. What hat should I add next? #indiegame #dinosaur #witch #halloween #spookyseason #hats #nomicrotransactions #unity3d #pixelart

Here’s a new concept level for Dino Cleanup I’ve been cooking up during the Halloween season. It was a ton of fun arranging all the awesome new 3D assets my wife cooked up. What do you think?🎃🪦🦖 #indiegame #gamedev #halloween #spookyseason #madewithunity #platformer #pixelart #dinosaur #graveyard

Here’s a sneak peak at a spooky new level I’m adding to Dino Cleanup, I’ll post a longer vid soon! 🎃 🪦 🦖 #indiegame #halloween #spookyseason #dinosaur #madewithunity

Thought it’d be fun to try playing my game Dino Cleanup on a CRT since I’m going for a retro aesthetic. It’s kinda hard to capture the magic of the CRT but I hope some of it comes through in this video! 🦖 🧼 📺 #retrogaming #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #y2k

Did a little art exercise/concept in the #gameboycolor style in #godotengine today, had a lot of fun. Gotta get used to using colours again after doing so much black and white art lately lol (P.s. if you can’t tell, Gojira is my favourite band) #pixelart #indiegame #ドット絵 #gojira

I’m working on another big update that adds a “challenge” mode to the catalog version of CranKnight with official Scoreboards! In this mode enemies score you points, and you can layer additional challenges to score even higher! #playdate #indiegame #roguelike #challenge #cranknight #solodev

Here’s another sneak peak for the upcoming update to my #playdate game CranKnight!

Thought I’d start a thread about some of the concept doodles for my #playdate game CranKnight. The first one here is a little catfish guy I scribbled into my notebook

Check out some gameplay of my #playdate game CranKnight! It’s a short but sweet rogue-ish/survivour-ish hack-n-slash with tons of weapon combination options!

I was recently gifted a @play.date console and decided I MUST make something for it, it's just too fun to make games for! I came up with a simple game called "CranKnight" (Crank-Knight) which uses the playdate's unique crank controls. Check it out on @itch.io! dinosire.itch.io/cranknight
