BUZZARD One time I woke up to a buzzard perched on a ledge right below my window and it scared the shit out of me. Anyways. New game creature just dropped 🐦‍⬛🌞 #buzzard #indiedev #gamedev

The Banshee Queen Clíodhna is said to have three colourful birds around her! I'm trying to find one more bird to contrast visually with these two - any ideas? Something native to Ireland! #handdrawn #gamedev #indiedev

Wren/Dreoilín (Gaeilge) When the birds competed to declare a king, they decided to see which could fly closest to the sun. The eagle flew highest! Just then, the Dreoilín, hidden under the eagle wing, popped out and flew above the eagle. And that's how the Wren became King of the Birds! #gamedev

My game has a dodge that looks a lot like SHINOBI’s dash. I never thought of making the trail a single color — gonna try it, might look better. #2DArt #HandDrawnGame #2dgames #indiegame

Pollacappul Lough, watercolour "Lake of the horse" in Irish You might recognise if you've visited Kylemore Abbey. Every seven years a white horse in rises from the entrance to the sidhe below the lake and runs across the surface. #irishmythology #gamedev #handdrawn #indiegamedev #sologamedev

The base background painting for a scene in the game where you look out a window in the Rock of Dunamase! Next onto isolating the layers and adding some parallax + filling out the rest of the screen dims with shadow #handdrawn #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #irishgamedev

BIBDU, old Gaeilge for "Guilty" In Bibdu you play a godly member of the Tuatha Dé Danann, banished from the otherworld (Síde) alongside your grumpy hound, and follow legends and myths around the map of Ireland to find a way back home and reclaim your immortality. Before it's too late... #indiedev

Between all the crazy last week I found myself in west Clare and popped in to see the Cliffs of Moher before leaving the country for the next few months 🌻 looking forward to painting these up! #gamedev

Go on an adventure as a TINY robot with a BIG heart. Inspired by early 2000s games we grew up with, with a deep story about feeling a little different. Misc. A Tiny Tale is OUT NOW on Steam🎉 store.steampowered.com/app/1308940/... Leave a review & let us know what you think!

Ok, ready to do this. I am proud to announce new free DLC for Kiopioke called Rupert's Delivery, a short adventure where you play as an elephant post officer. I plan to release it before the end of the summer. #indiegame #gamedev #bigupdate #platformer store.steampowered.com/news/app/269...

I've been quiet, sorry! I've been planning some ways to promote Bibdu and also support game development. Something that would've helped pay the bills fell through recently but working really hard trying new things & almost finished my last few weeks in work so exciting times coming soon :) #gamedev

Unbelievably & constantly grateful to the OPW in Ireland providing sketches and maps and site plans of what ruins once looked like, I've got a whole gallery of photos like this from my travels and am constantly referencing them

Check out my gamedev partner, he's new to bsky but some of you might know him from YouTube! I'm helping him in his game dev journey and he's helping me with mine :) #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

I quit my job!!!!! Going to try this full time game dev thing for a few months (for as long as I can pay rent!) 🌞 I am so so so excited to bring Bibdu to it's full potential & can't wait to share my love of Irish mythology and wildlife and flora with you all! 🇮🇪 #gamedev #indiedev #handdrawn

Corncrake/Traonach ~ it's unique 'squawk' was commonly heard in bogs of #Ireland but a 97% species decline in the last 50yrs made it the rarest. ~ Finding this beauty in the wild to record it's call will be one of the most difficult & rewarding parts of making my game! #gamedev #indiedev #handdrawn
