Alright let's plant some palm trees!!! The growing time will be much slower in the final game 😂 #losthotelgame #losthotel #thelosthotel #lodestarhotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame #godot

I made water!!!! That was a hell of a lot of work. I'm so glad there are people who know exactly how shaders work and provide them for free! ❤️ #losthotelgame #losthotel #thelosthotel #lodestarhotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame

The garden area is also finally finished 🥹 I added a few particle effects, as you can see here in the video: Leaves and fireflies 🍃🍂🥰 #losthotelgame #losthotel #thelosthotel #lodestarhotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame

There are leafmilk trees in the hydroponics, and planters for growing a few simple things. A little garden shed as well 😍 Only the garden bot, well, try to fix it, okay? #thelosthotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame #godot

Hey, why don't you repair the garden shed? And the planters? And tidy everything up a bit? #losthotelgame #losthotel #thelosthotel #lodestarhotel #pixelart #retrogames #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelgame #pixelartgame #godot #godotengine #gamedesign

I'm basically done pixelling all the components of the greenhouse area in the hotel, then we can start fixing and cleaning up because.... look at this mess!!! Can't leave it like this! #losthotelgame #thelosthotel #pixelart #gamedevelopment #indiegame #indiegamedev #indiedev
