Age Against the Machine

FML, I just spent several hours trying to figure out how ‘autotiling’ works in Godot… didn’t help that I was looking at old info docs to start with, and the new ones are confusing and overly technical ! #gamedev #indiedev 😅🫠

Sketches for some evolutions. #gamedev

So frustrating that the save doesn’t work on both these fan translation copies. The game is so much fun but you really need the translation for the instructions! #retrogaming #gameboy

Visual explorations for a client project, in aseprite. #pixelart #gamedev

King H'oo 💧 #pixelart who needs more than 4 frames!

Prickles! 🌵 #pixelart

Keeping it simple with just 4 frames for the idles. #pixelart

A few monster designs for a freelance project. Quite fun doing these! #pixelart

A pretty decent cloud reveal / fog of war effect for the mission map!! #shmup #gamedev #indiedev

A little more progress on this Kirby redraw of the Rolling Turtle midboss battle! #pixelart #retrogaming

Working on a little fun thing ! Taking part in the Kirby retro redrawn! #pixelart Very fond memories of playing Kirby's Adventure on my step-bros NES !

Bzzzzzzz!!! #pixelart

Quick wip preview of the campaign map for the 'The Dry' (world 2 of 6). Still lots of decorating, lighting + other bits to add. But getting there. Going to try and 'borrow 👀' the cloud/map reveal effect from Steamworld Heist 2 as well as that worked great! #shmup #pixelart #indiedev

The amount of times Gamemaker has crashed on me today is really starting to eat at my patience.... Lost so much work! F M L ! 🤬🤬🤬 #gamedev #indiedev

UK Game devs - there's an open letter going to DCMS about a new Games Growth Relief. Get involved! ukie.org.uk/news/press-s...

Skies of Chaos, an example of one of the more obstacle based levels. Constant health depletion from the storm. A few visual bits to fix still, but this one’s nearly there. #shmup #gamedev #pixelart

Another addition to the collection. I’ve heard good things about this! 🎣🎣🎣 #gameboy #retrogaming

Decided Skies of Chaos totally needs a massive airship to launch from at the start of each mission. 😅 #pixelart #shmup #gamedev #indiedev

Just had to! #gameboy #lego 🧱🧱🧱

Currently on book 9... but 'He Who Fights With Monsters' might well be he greatest fantasy series ever written. No idea if this is a contentious statement, but it is sooo good! - plus the audiobook version is perfect 🤣

The original skies of chaos was very/relatively kid friendly, but this is too fun to not add into the widescreen version! #gamedev #shmup #pixelart

We are totally overdue a new Kirby Tilt n Tumble game 😄😄😄 #gameboy

That’s not quite right 🤣🤦‍♂️ #pixelart #shmup

Picked up a second hand Surface Go 4, absolutely love the 10inch format / size. Not sure how useful it'll be alongside my macbook pro and other tech. But probably performance for me to get back to learning my C# Players Guide book! #indiedev

That’s not quite right 🤣🤦‍♂️ #pixelart #shmup

Not technically accurate - and I know there should be 8! - but does the job! #pixelart #shmup 🦂🦂🦂

Time to harvest those crops! 🧑‍🌾🥕🥕🥕🚜 #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Just been playing Earthion on switch. It's good fun! I'm not usually a fan of horizontal shmups, but this is a fun time with a load of great design touches. Easy mode is very nicely balanced too. Perfect arcade vibe!! #shmups

Completed Death Stranding 2 yesterday... I really enjoyed pottering around with the deliveries, but I don't think I've ever played something with such bad writing, structure and direction. Such as shame as it could of been an classic.

Just experienced my first cartidge that doesn't work properly with the #AnaloguePocket, but works perfectly fine on original devices (Gameboy SP and Micro) "Invader". Glad I double checked before faffing around with doing a return! [crashes towards the end of level 1] #retrogaming #gameboy

A few more decorative bits to add and some lighting, and then this homage to Stardew, created with my new asset pack, is all done! Then on to the next game type/mockup! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Had an MRI for the first time today (for a running injury). Those machines are quite ominous to be inside! Sounded like being in a giant dot-matrix printer. Trying like crazy to stay perfectly still!😅😅😅 Also quite funy that this futuristic machine was housed inside a random portacabin!

Love this little 3d printed cartridge holder I found on Etsy!

Coming together. #pixelart

Starting to rough out a scene using new assets to recreate / mock-up a stardew style farming scene. This is just the start, lots to add in. There should be enough icons and elemets in the new asset pack to create a lot of different genres of games. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev
