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

I’ve had a Pixoo64 sat in a cupboard for the last few years. Finally got it out the box! Managed to find some Amiga scenes to load onto it!

Sketching up a hammer drone weapon for Skies of Chaos. This will automatically lock-on and thwack enemies! #pixelart #indiedev #shmup

GAME MUSIC COMPOSERS! 🎶 I'm in the market to bring someone onboard to help create several tracks for BOMBSHELL BLITZ! Battle music made of chiptunes / MIDI instrumentals is the main thing I'm after, so if that sounds like you please leave your demo reel in the comments! 👀

Currently halfway through book 6 of ‘He Who Fights with Monsters’. Been absolutely loving this series!! Though this is the first book that isn’t quite living up the the previous ones. Still loving the series!

Working on some test scenes for the new version of my Sunnyside World asset pack. Very nearly finished with this first one! #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Roughing out a scene to test the new Sunnyside World asset pack I'm creating, and adding in bits missing. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Just finished some avatar character tests. Quite fun creating these simple little characters! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Ill do a couple of accessories and facial expressions and you'll be able to create quite a few variations. #pixelart #indiedev

Finally picked up a copy of East of West Year 3. Found someone selling the entire collection for the same price the single year 3 usually goes for! So now I’ve a Y1&2 spare 🤷‍♂️ #comics

Working up some rough character portraits to add to the new version of sunnyside world. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

I ran past all the protestors in Epping Forest on sunday - I'm from Essex myself - dissapointed but unsurprised by all the bigoted, flag waving gammons. There's a typecast look and they were very much it. Epping, Harlow, Broxbourne, all places still drifting more right wing ☹️☹️. Very sad.

Kirby Air Riders looks great fun! a proper arcade feel to it. I completely bounced off of Mario Kart World, but Kirby looks awesome!

A very quick and dirty light test to make sure baking shadows into the assets still works at night, which it does! Luckily moonlight can account for night shadows! Nearly nearly finished with an mvp for the new/expanded asset pack. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

The fact we haven't managed to find a publisher to fund our tennis game *yet* is sad! A backburner project for sure! 🎾 Our gameplay demo was pretty strong - though lacked the actual final game sprites (would be a lot to do). One day! #gamedev #indiedev #pixleart #retrogaming

My little girl just crawled for the first time and it looked like procedural animation where the bugs still need fixing 🤣 limbs trying to glitch through the floor! 😅🤣🥰 so so cool though!

Seeking available top-tier pixel artist for major global title. Strong character poses emphasis (static higher res and/or low-res animation role). Can’t share current project art, but anim ref here from Jack Move. Please recommend or share portfolio. #pixelart #gamedev

Happily, the auto-tiles work pretty well on top of each other - so you can have green grass merging into deserts and deserts into snow areas etc. #pixelart

Another quick test. Just dropping in some rough vegetation to make sure colours are correct still. Lots to do for this test scene, but looks like the land tiles are mostly working as I wanted. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #retro

Working on the land ties for the new asset pack I'm working on. Creating auto-tiles is a right pain! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

90% of the books I read are via audible these. It’s just easier when traveling or doing chores. But still good to pick up some physical books from time to time!

🗡️🗡️🗡️ If you see this, post a sword!

Was running in Epping Forest tonight, and nearly trod on an Adder!! 😅🐍 ! #running

Wondering whether to bake a bit of lighting into these assets or not... hmmmm 🤔🤔🤔 #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Another new addition! Survival Kids! I’m guessing this is a fan translation / non original as I don’t think this had a re-release on gba. OG English GB carts are very expensive for the first game! Whatever version it is, it’s in an annoying frame that makes it smaller than ideal! 😓 #retro

The new Ninja Gaiden game… are the sluggish movement controls a feature or a bug on switch 🤔🧐

Was considering buying a Sega Saturn to start recollecting my console youth… but now have seen the cost of games on eBay… FML!! 😬😅😂😵

Installing your first ever 'stair gate' is a peak first time dad job 🤣

Need to get back to learning this too 😬😅 #gamedev #indiedev
