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

why did no one tell me how awesome it is to use structs #gamedev #indiedev

I've been consider the zoom on the game's camera. Should I be showing more or less around the player? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

It's surprising how weirdly complex it is to get pixel-perfect cameras working in a game. Every time I need to mess with the camera it sucks!! #gamedev #indiedev

A possible start at redoing tile sprites #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Every week I listen to a new album, this week: 867 by This Is The Glasshouse Been recommended this LP for so long, decided to finally bite. It was really something special, unlike anything I've listened to. Beautiful lyrics, this song in particular's very relatable. Fav. Track: Before Machinery

Apogee will proudly be using Nvidia's groundbreaking DLSS 5 technology to create stunning visuals that every gamer will be sure to love. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I realized I didn't have a Steam developer page, oops! I've just made one. Follow for whenever I release games on Steam! #gamedev #indiedev

I've been writing a lot of music recently, I don't know what could be good for Apogee's soundtrack, but it's been fun figuring it out. #gamedev #indiedev

The curse of game dev: Every time I play a new game, it just makes me want to go back and fix issues in my game. Playing through Owlboy right now and the way they do enemy hurt/death animations is so much more satisfying than my system! #gamedev #indiedev

Rabbit photo but with Jade #gamedev #indiedev #redraw

I know it must be done, but I don't know if I have the strength to fix my camera code. #gamedev #indiedev

Every Tuesday I listen to a new album, this week I listened to: saturdays at your place - something worth celebrating I really liked their other albums, this came out before them, which is apparent in the rougher sound. I prefer their new sound, but still a good listen. Fav. Track: mood swings

Struggling to make progress on Apogee. Though it appears I now have 3 projects concurrently that I am struggling with. Oops. #gamedev #indiedev

I feel like my tiles are too noisy, I like the detail, but it may be too much. I should probably just have it be 1-2 colors. Maybe also figure out how to have the grass stick out of the grid. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Instead of just listing my top 9 favorite games, these are the 9 games I think most affected me as a game developer and how I view creating games. #gamedev #indiedev #my9games

Number that appears when healing #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

gamedev's great because it leads to you needing to read random articles about The Moon's orbit and you get to call it productive research. #gamedev #indiedev

Every Tuesday I listen to a new album, and this week's was: winnowing by forest spirit, sun on your back First album I've heard from this artist, I liked the vibes of this one, chill but still pretty upbeat. Lyrics were great and catchy. Fav. Track: not your cat

I've been working on some other stuff as of late as a refresh from Apogee Silly goobers #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Finding it difficult to get the exact motivation for the antagonist in Apogee down. I have the rough ideas and end goals, but getting all the little details right is hard! #gamedev #indiedev

You ever try to write an uplifting story, only to look out into the real world and see everything that's happening #gamedev #indiedev

i need to be making things with 0 polish and fixing them later #gamedev #indiedev

#gamedev #indiedev

Developing prototypes for things that will never exist #gamedev #indiedev

why have we as a society accepted Discord to be a normal alternative to documentation and not as the worst possible way to get information #gamedev #indiedev

Every Tuesday I listen to a new album, this week's was awakebutstillinbed's chaos takes the wheel and i am a passenger. I quite enjoyed these songs, it feels more refined compared to their first album, vocals and instruments were on point. Love me some long songs. Fav. Track: bloodline #music

I hit 400 followers on my game's 2-year anniversary, wowie zowie Thanks for your support! #gamedev #indiedev

Today's Panoptia's 2 year anniversary! Surreal to think about, I feel like I was just working on it yesterday... I learned a lot making Panoptia, Apogee's code is leaps & bounds above Panoptia's. It also improved my writing & art, I think. Proud of the story I told. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Surely I wouldn't be so foolish to develop a side project that is similar or possibly larger in scale to my current game... right? #gamedev #indiedev

Why must tiles be such cumbersome and fickle beasts... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

... progress? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

maybe a game made with less schmovement breeds more schmovement... #gamedev #indiedev

Messed up world we live in if this is considered good progress #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

For the past couple years, I listen to a new album every Tuesday, so I thought I'd share. Kara's Walk Home - Look! A Rainbow! You can tell every line is deeply personal to the artist, love the raw & emotional performance. Appreciating more and more with every relisten. Fav. Track: Impressionism
