got a new idea for how to do combat. Third time's the charm... #gamedev #indiedev

Current iteration of smoke particles upon death #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I accidently changed my splash screen to the funniest possible sprite #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I think my next mission is to fix the background. But how does one make a parallax background? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Rewriting the explosion code and I have no idea why the animation is so fast?? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I added a new feature after a month of making no progress Leaves fall down when you fall through the foliage! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I was going to post what the actual effect was meant to be but it appears Bluesky's vibe-coded servers have fallen apart again and I cannot post videos. Imagine Jade falling through foliage for now #gamedev #indiedev

The sorta thing that happens when you mistype one value #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I have a contemporary storyline I'd love to work on, but I don't even know if it will be relevant by the time the game would be out games take too long to make and the world moves too fast 😵 #gamedev #indiedev

you can break these #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I forgot to set the bounds #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Jade spinning #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I really like having the textbox's position being on top or bottom based on the player's position for visibility. I also like have the portraits really stick out of the box, but they kinda don't work together, since it then get cropped off the top. What a dilemma! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

The only thing I've been able to do recently is write music, all my code and art be stinky recently #gamedev #indiedev

i have surpassed my follower count on the evil bird app, why do people still use it

maybe if i work on another game i will get inspiration for my main project #gamedev #indiedev

I keep flip-flopping on how complex I want combat to be in Apogee. There's something fun about mastering a complicated moveset, but it becomes much harder to design around. There's also something to be said about simplified controls. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

erm #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

it's been so long idk if i even know how to art anymore i gotta lock in #gamedev #indiedev

Barely gotten any work done on my game these past few weeks. Been sick or what have you. Here is Jade and Kaguya hanging out #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Happy Earth Day! Kaguya needs to get back home from the Moon before she runs out of oxygen. Make sure Kaguya can return to a healthy Earth by not using AI! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I love making a character with fun, free movement, but then designing a world around that moveset is kinda impossible lol #gamedev #indiedev

My follower count has quadrupled since I first posted this, so I will ask again: Any of these antagonist designs tickle your fancy? #gamedev #indiedev #conceptart

Rounded edges #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I just made a small change so that you can burrow in the ground, but not on thin platforms. I think this will open some interesting puzzle opportunities and just makes more sense. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I added a cute little feature, where Kaguya and Jade and can talk to each other with a little speech bubble on the bottom of the screen, so they can interact without halting gameplay! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Working on a new character?? Only characters I've got in-game right now are Jade and Kaguya, so I think it is time. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I'm literally making a game about a character on the moon with a secondary character following them around. How have I not thought of the connection to Moon Child already?! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Working with tiles that strictly follow a grid is SO MUCH easier to handle but so much more boringgggg #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Thanks for watching my space bunny while I was gone! -Kaguya #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Noooo! How did you even get here?😭

Can you watch my space bunny for me while I'm gone? Thanks #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

the ever-looming fear of needing to rewrite collision code #gamedev #indiedev

I love editing videos, I wish games didn't take forever to create, so I could edit more trailers for my games #gamedev #indiedev

Apogee if it was so retro #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Aw man I forgot have like 10 more main characters to draw sprites for, I've just had Jade and Kaguya for so long #gamedev #indiedev

how the heck do you make a big interconnected world in a game without getting lost in the sauce #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Every time I try to fix my tiling I want to bash my head into a nearby wall Anyways, here's another attempt at a tileset #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Your favorite moon bunny wishes you a happy bunny day #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Not too dissimilar to Kaguya and Jade's vibes I think #gamedev #indiedev

What Kaguya sees before blowing up #gamedev #indiedev

Everyone's been begging for it, so I'm now revealing that Kaguya is the new playable protagonist of Apogee! Also Jade is blue now #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I gotta hurry up and make a bunch of areas with cool visuals to make an appealing Steam page. It'd be so unfortunate if someone else were to make a different game called Apogee before me- oh. #gamedev #indiedev

I need to make a playable test for Apogee in some form....... #gamedev #indiedev

Unfinished wood tiles #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I want to get better at drawing non-pixel art so I can make more silly Jades and Kaguyas without struggling so much. Then maybe I can finally complete my character sheets hehe #gamedev #indiedev

Seeing more and more AIs collapsing recently is the best news in a very long time. It puts a big ol' smile on my face. Support real artists! :D #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Working on a side game has been great, I'm getting good work done after getting no productive work done on Apogee. I feel more ready to return to working on it, whenever I do. Always take breaks! #gamedev #indiedev

Last summer I was real sure I'd be able to have a somewhat playable slice of the game, but it's been so long, I think I should just get SOMETHING out there soon. #gamedev #indiedev
