tfw you failed art class thrice but lived to make a joke about it in your game. My word, the last few days were a lot of work with words and ctrl+v. There's lots more things to click on now. #gamedev #indiegame #horrorgame #pixelart #pointandclick

Whoops. Forgot to fully detail this background. Weekend me is going to be thrilled to do that. And more! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #horror #pointandclick #beanmouth

Look at all these nice numbers I wrote down today. Tomorrow me will be very happy. #gamedev #notebook

Aside from a few continuity errors that need fixing, all the backgrounds for ACT I are properly finished. Here's a very annoying one where I had to detail a fish and chip shop cooking station. Something I never want to do again. #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #pointandclick #horror

welcome to ARCADE we have one game and it doesn't work :'( Some of the backgrounds from this week, now in place. #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #pointandclick #horror #solodev

Player character reveal!!... Sort of. and wow, i'm finally on the last set of 11 backgrounds that need finishing out of the 200. can't wait to get tired of other game dev tasks once more. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #horrorgame #steamgame #spooky

Had to draw all sorts of odd things today. It required a surprising amount of research into CRT monitors. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #horror #pointandclick #spooky

All the fire extinguishers in the Park were seemingly repossessed when Manny Land shut down. This is very convenient because it means I don't have to draw them! #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #horror #pointandclick #gameart

Using old carpets is a personal fave means to render an area inaccessible. They're easy to draw from any angle. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #horrorgame #pointandclick

Couldn't stretch the budget enough for Supaplex. Had to settle for the regular kind of Plex instead. #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #horrorgame #pointandclick

Desperately running around adding fire alarms and safety signs in the buildings. You know, for that 𝕚𝕞𝕞𝕖𝕣𝕤𝕚𝕠𝕟. #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #horrorgame #pointandclick #gamemaker

I enjoy adding mysterious pipes. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #horrorgame #liminal #solodev #steam

Part of a small 3D area I'm working on at the moment as a tiny break from drawing backgrounds. Hoping to get it in the game later today to see how it looks. #gamedev #pixelart #3Denvironment #indiegame #horror #gamemaker

Somewhere far off in the distance you can almost hear it. The call. "Blobby blobby blobby!!" #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #horror #gamemaker #pointandclick

someone broke the box of LIES and also, my game passed the steam build review earlier! i can let my game testers loose on the steam version now. #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #horror #pointandclick

Installed a new suspiciously man-shaped stain on the floor in this room. And some bonus protein on the sofa. #indiegame #horror #pixelart #gamedev #pointandclick

this looks like a fun sort of place. Took a little break from drawing backgrounds to code this little area (work in progress) into my game. #gamedev #indiegame #gamemaker #horrorgame #pixelart

The bloodcurdling TERROR of how nasty this toilet is 💀 Did a lot of drawing this week. Get to take a nice break from it tomorrow to add it all into the game and write funny/sad flavour text. Still feels kind of weird to have got the game this far! #gamedev #solodev #pixelart #gamemaker

Sometimes when I don't want to draw extra backgrounds I use a funny angle to squeeze them all in to one. Despite this, there's still 200+ of them in ACT I. #gamedev #pixelart #background #indiegame

strange place for a sleeping bag #gamedev #pixelart #background #pointandclick #horror #indiegame

Congratulations and Happy 10th Anniversary to UNDERTALE!! A whole decade of staying DETERMINED!! #UNDERTALE #UNDERTALE10 #アンダーテール　#アンダーテール十周年記念　#アンダーテール10

Spent far too long this evening agonising over the colour of the door panels in this building. Another wise use of my time while adding details to the rest of the backgrounds~ #gamedev #pixelart

indie horror games with mascots but they don't chase you and aren't the focus of the horror anyway AND the game isn't even designed for children at all?? i wanted more like that so i thought i'd try making one: store.steampowered.com/app/3989570/Death_in_a_Party__ACT_I #pixelart #indiegame #horror

A few bits of artwork for my game's Steam achievements. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #steam

EXPLORE 3D environments in my game 'Death in a Party' ACT I coming for free this October 31st: store.steampowered.com/app/3989570/Death_in_a_Party__ACT_I #indiegame #psychological #horror #gamemaker #steam #pointandclick

It happened! My game has a real Steam store page now. ACT I releases next month on the 31st... For free! You can then click on all of the things. Spooky. #indiegame #steam #horror #pixelart #gamedev

I like putting jokes in my game that are for maybe 6 people. oh and i've also been working on the steam store page; waiting for it to be published now!! also drawing a lot of backgrounds and sprites... #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #horrorgame #pointandclick

this virtual pet is mean. i'll just close it- oh... oh no. You can experience this Toxic Friend Simulator in my game, 'Death in a Party': thefunctioncreep.itch.io/death-in-a-p... DEMO version available on itch io (for Windows). #indiegame #horror #pointandclick #pixelart

Installed a new ominous pile in here. Just in case you ever wondered what an Eraserhead prop might look like in Rugrats. #gamedev #pixelart #backgroundart

Fans of old, and legally distinct, UK snack wrappers; REJOICE!!! Another incredible gameplay feature. thefunctioncreep.itch.io/death-in-a-party #indiegame #horrorgame #pixelart #pointandclick #itchio #spooky

Same place in my game, almost exactly 6 years of development apart. Went from not knowing any code in any language, to teaching myself GML and making all of this on my own!... Maybe one day I'll even learn how to make a good UI. #gamedev #gamemaker #solodev #birbman

A totally innocent character who isn't going to act like an emotionally abusive tamagotchi. Nope not at all. You can get the DEMO for Windows on itch io (it might not crash!!1): thefunctioncreep.itch.io/death-in-a-party #horrorgame #indiegame #itchio #solodev #animation #pixelart #pointandclick

To change the background colour of these face animations, this idiot (me) managed wrap his brain around the oddly complicated series of shaders and blending required. It only took... 2 years?! Goes to show that you'll solve the problem eventually if you keep at it! #gamedev #pixelart #gamemaker

A clip of the ambient music and background art in my point and click horror game. DEMO for Windows on itch: thefunctioncreep.itch.io/death-in-a-party (indie horror without jump scares or monster chases?? wow!!!) #indiegame #horror #gamemusic #pixelart #solodev #gamemaker #atmosphere

You feel watched. (Now animated, with spooky sound. oOoOoo 👻) #deathinaparty #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #horror #itchio #pointandclick

This is a wicked cool T-shirt. I got one and it's amazing.

Experiment with a mobile-friendly format for gameplay videos of my game. Here's an area I've had fun working on. #deathinaparty #indiegame #indiedev #horror #pixelart #3d

it's happened again. revised the title screen music... apparently the so-called bass was. unsatisfactory. just LEAVE IT now. stop poking it. he's already dead etc... youtu.be/36gC5kykKhk

Actual gameplay footage of my game?? WOW!!! By 'gameplay' I mean a little walk about the 3D Park area to show it off since some recent visual improvements. Still a bit left to do (more ground litter), but it's coming along. #indiegame #horror #pointandclick #gamemaker #solodev #pixelart #itchio

Updated the theme park map used for fast travel in my game. Now places the player hasn't visited yet are greyed out! Incredible. A minor change I've been wanting to do for months, glad I could get to it at last. #DeathinaParty #indiegame #psychologicalhorror #pixelart #solodev #gamedev

With the release of more #DELTARUNE chapters this week (i'm so hyped!!!!)... The SPAMTON and SPAMTON related stickers on my Etsy shop will be 20% off until June 15th! WOW!!!! ➡️🗑️ etsy.com/shop/TheFunctionCreep ☎️🥚 All designs recently restocked. #FanMerch #Stickers #Spamton #Etsy

My game 'Death in a Party' is now available for a free download for Windows on itch! This version of the game is the Early Access to test ACT I ahead of it becoming the DEMO version later this year. #DeathinaParty #indiegame #horror #pointandclick #textbased #pixelart #handdrawn #freedownload

The improved (???) title screen music and art for my game. Crucially, added pink ✨ S P A R K L E S ✨ to the highlighted text. Playable tomorrow over at thefunctioncreep.itch.io/death-in-a-party #DeathinaParty #indiegame #solodev #horror #pointandclick #GameMaker #gamedev

My game has digital storefront cover art now. As what I'm declaring to be Early Access (of the demo) will begin on the 31st of this month. For freeeee on itch. thefunctioncreep.itch.io/death-in-a-p...

The new pupil animation system is working now, at last. Here it is doing some things it's capable of in this initial (WIP) cutscene. Can't wait to plot more expressions and animation patterns for it! #indiegame #deathinaparty #animation #horror #solodev #gamemaker #pixelart

A test animation I made for my game a few years ago now (wow i've been making this game for a while). The past week I've been working on a related animation system. I was hoping to have more of it done by now to show off, but it'll need another week before it's ready. #indiegame #horror #animation

Some of the 200+ backgrounds I've drawn for my game. A bunch of them are still WIPs and missing details (mostly dust). It's set in a mediocre theme park, like something from the UK in the 90's... #indiegame #pointandclick #horror #solodev #gamemaker #pixelart #deathinaparty

Also finally got around to putting a basic level of effort into the itch io store page. Pushing to get the playtest ready for public consumption within the next few months! thefunctioncreep.itch.io/death-in-a-p...

Part of a new area I've been working on in my game. Hoping to have it functional at a basic level and patched in either later today or next week for testing. It's been really fun to work on so far. #indiegame #DeathInAParty #horror #SoloDev #GameMaker
