friends! acquaintances! help! i'm looking to hire a game designer (living in the Netherlands) to help build games in The Hidden Folks Universe, starting with a sequel to the indie hit game Hidden Folks. know someone who's a good fit? pls forward this, ty! hiddenfolks.com/job-opening/...

A bit rough, but not too bad so far. Should be cool seeing hundreds of these guys running around together soon. Not sure if I'll do full arms or cheat and stick with floating hands to give the weapons full 360 aiming. #gamedev #indiedev

I need to organise and collate all the old sketched animations for Sports Sports. Quite fun looking back at all the old sketches. There's hundreds of them! #pixelart

I picked up an old PS2 slim and the Buzz! Quiz games (and dedicated controllers!) Been a lot of fun playing those with family over Xmas and new year! So many great party games on old hardware. #gamedev

Just did a very very quick test with my new #retrotink. Need to get a component cable to to fully see how good it is, but even with composite it’s a million times better than the hdmi adapter I first tried!!! #retrogaming. Looking forward to testing it more soon!

Like... do you spend time figuring out the nuances of an engine particle system, or use keyframe system and animate the particles so they do exactly what you want, or straight up animate elsewhere and bake that thing in! 🫠🫠🫠 #gamedev #indiedev

Attempting to "learn Godot" (or any new engine) at the same time as delivering and authoring work in it, is a bloody nightmare!! So frustrating when things that take 5 minutes elsewehere seem to take 5 years! gargh! #gamedev #indiedev

Forgot that I'd also done a quick '1bit' test of this scene for the Playdate too! Hadn't considered the restriction too much so could probably be a bit clearer. But a fun test nonetheless! #pixelart #playdate

I was briefly testing out how to do visuals and animation on the #Playdate. It's lack of backlight (or any suggestion Panic want to add one) and its super poor screen readability in most light conditions, meant I didn't bother doing more. Such a shame as it *could* be such a great handheld. #gamedev

I had some fun ideas for this concept. Had wireframed out the game loop quite a bit! Ah well! #pixelart #gamedev #playdate

Shhunkk! Eeek! Squelch! #pixelart

I was quite happy with the transition animation for the slimes, so they could climb walls etc. Was a cool attack animation too. #pixelart

And a goblin meeting another equally sharp point! #pixelart

Some cute but very STABBY GOBLINS! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Just watched this review for the Commodore 64 Ultimate and now I 10000% want one! 😅. My Amiga 600 was my main love, but my C64 was my first computer as a kid. Major happy nostalgia vibes! I had so many ZZAP!64 tapes at one point! #retro #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GT2...

I think the bat was probably my fave one! #pixelart #animation #gamedev 🦇🦇🦇

The lab technician, weapon boost attack, varients. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

The sprites I worked on for @empika.co.uk's cyberpunk jrpg 'JACKMOVE'! 🤖 They only look this good because lead artist and animator @joecreates.bsky.social set such an awesome bar! (and helped me loads 🤣!) #pixelart #indiedev

Finally bought and played a little of Cosmic Invasion. The sprite work is so so so nice. I hope I can find some time in the near future to have a crack at some sprites in that style. Would love to work for Tribute Games on something at some point! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Still hoping for a backlit Playdate for this trouser leg of time. #gamedev

Ok. So my first attempt at creating something in Blender. This has been so slow so far! so painful to navigate the UI/tools. A low poly, pixel textured crate, ammo box and half finished fuel barrel. Still lots to get my head around - especially the UV maps. #pixelart #lowpoly #gamedev #blender

I have finally started my journey into learning Blender... YAY!... and have also already hit the brick wall that is 'WHY THE BLOODY HELL DOES THIS UV UNWRAPING NOT WORK!'.. BOOO!!.... #gamedev #pixelart #blender #lowpoly

One of my next bits of work is to *finally* learn some 3d modeling. Low poly, pixelart textured vibe. I imagine starting with a box/crate is the best place to start 🤣😅. I did have a brief play with Blockbench, but Blender seems the way to go. #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev

I've always thought that VHR was seriously one of the coolest looking racers out there!! 😍- but cheekily also thought the sprites could maaaybe do with a tiiiiny bit of animation on the tyres/windscreen etc, to help sell the speed. Can the sprites be easily modded at all? @skydevilpalm.bsky.social

Aaargh! (4 frames) #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

I want to just live in a CRT world now! #pixelart

Just came across the app 'ShaderGlass' on itch! A fun little CRT viewer that works super nice with the NES Kirby redraw! #pixelart #gamedev #retrogaming #kirby mausimus.itch.io/shaderglass

Just finished my submission for Kirby Redrawn! @retroredrawn.bsky.social NES colour pallete - Just in the corner is Phan Phan dragging off the Rolling Turtle! #pixelart #kirby #retrogaming

I was supposed to be running my first 100 mile race next month but tore a ligament in my foot in September. Finally had my first run in 86 days this evening! Felt sooo good to be out running again! Got a long journey to recover performance, but it starts now! #running 🏃🏃🏃

Skies of Chaos - EX demo is pretty much done at last! 💃 Finally played 2 player on it and it's feeling pretty balanced as is too! #gamedev #indiedev #shmup #pixelart

Haven’t done much more on this, but a bit of progress on my Kirby’s Adventure Redrawn piece - side by side with the original - Mostly just the UI to figure out now. Rolling Turtle is getting dragged off by their replacement, Phan Phan! 🐢🐘. #pixelart #retro #kirby

Does anyone know if autotiling in Godot 4.5.1 is buggy?? I can never quite get them to work perfectly. Occasional incorrect tiles etc... fml #gamdev #indiedev

Gamemaker crashing on me 10,000 times a day.. F M L #gamedev

Morsels is a really pretty game, but I very nearly bounced straight off it! Could have done with a little tutorial / explanation of how the shooting works. Finally got a feel for it and it’s quite fun. A bit hard to tell what’s an enemy and what’s decoration, but it’s a vibe. Awesome art.

Shake those icy hips! 3 more to do and then all done 😅 ooff #pixelart #gamedev

30 characters sketched up. Next up, pixels! (I did try uploading a longer version but bsky kept breaking the video!🤦‍♂️) fun sketching in #procreate. #gamedev

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 😅🫠
