This is one of my favorite mechanics I've added to the game. Get stuck in the snowball and you're safe from fire! #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Slowly but surely modding support is being built up #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Of course things have improved a lot since I created first created that mechanic. #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Just working on more game mechanics. And a bit of puzzle design as well. Learning the ins and outs of how this game works. #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

And now more sprite work. The spin animation really needed work, but the I still love the jump animation. This is the day things started clicking for this game. Going from silly project to a real game #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

"Hey what happened to the sprites you were working on?" Yeah so they weren't scrapped. I just didn't want people confused why the sprites weren't finished while playtesting, so I created temp art. Also wall jumping! #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

This was a fun enemy to work on, though not much else to report here. #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Miss #KilaFlow 's FWA trailer? Here it is on bluesky with subtitles! The music you hear in this trailer can actually be listened to and bought in the Swipe Right EP! check it out: rettjester.bandcamp.com/album/kilafl...

After months, this is when I finally decided to give her real sprites! She'd still go through some updates as we know, but it's close to what we have now #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Lots of work went into this, and now we can finally share our title screen! #indiegame #gamedev #monogame youtu.be/ucDWaAaFZtM

Oh, did we mention our main characters are gay and get extra health when they kiss? store.steampowered.com/app/3066680/...

One of the first enemies I designed. Look at them go! #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

An old mechanic that was lost during development. #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Seeing the textures I worked on for the ship in action is an amazing feeling and I’m happy to be part of such an amazing team 💖💖💖 The title screen is peak and you should go wishlist Solar Voltage if you haven’t already. (link below!)

Lots of work went into this, and now we can finally share our title screen! #indiegame #gamedev #monogame youtu.be/ucDWaAaFZtM

Happy Pride Month! Protect those who need it most when you can. We can make it through together.

This was a proper attempt at real level design, finally! Learning how this game ticks, what makes it fun. #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

A sneak peek on a new addition to the title screen #SolarVoltage #indiegame #gamedev

I'm still proud of this walking animation for #SolarVoltage. Took me so long lol #gamedev #indie #pixelart

A lot more in this video: Updrafts, which get reworked into something else. Swings were scrapped for many reasons. I still miss them. And gems which are retextured in the final game. Jul 23rd 2022 #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Here's the start of one of the core mechanics! Along with... an awful lava texture. This is also be the start of the spin attack. Jul 23rd 2022 #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Another mechanic test. This one went through a lot of iterations before it got to the version we have in game today. Jul 22nd 2022 #gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Hi! Solar Voltage is a callback to the isometric platformer style. It's a very story driven game while not sacrificing speed. It's your choice to slowdown and smell the roses or to fly and zoom at your heart's content! bsky.app/profile/sola...

You know, when I saw you all coming to support our game, I expected maybe 10 more wishlists. This is so much more than I ever expected and I can't thank you enough. Maybe we'll actually hit 1,000 some day?

What's he talking about? Wrong answers only #indiegame #SolarVoltage

Yeah, I didn't stick with the old jump animation that long. Added a bunch of new mechanics and movement options. The spin attack is finally here! I also toyed with the idea of stamina, but it never felt right. Jun 12th 2022

Testing a bit more mechanics, including collecting gems for score. And a... less than stellar jump animation. Not everything you do in game dev is progress you know. Feb. 22 2022 #gamedev #SolarVoltage

A more fleshed out level! I was still using this old sprite I made as practice. This was recorded on Jan 15th 2022 #gamedev #SolarVoltage

Now we're building out the basic movement mechanics. Rolling was the first mechanic added into the game. I've always been a fan of movement mechanics like this. #gamedev #SolarVoltage

Getting depth perception and jumping working. Though I did rework most of that code, it's small steps in progress. #gamedev #SolarVoltage

No clue how much I showed of the old history of this game, but let's start a video thread! This one's dated to January 9th, 2022 #gamedev #SolarVoltage

Getting more and more animations prepped and created! #monogame #indiegame

“I ain’t got no soul, but that don’t mean my cookin’ don’t! Ya hungry?" The robot Beat came with the ship when Hansen bought it and they proudly cook for the crew. As an outdated model, nobody knows who modded them to create such a dynamic AI or specific personality. Homemade food, even this far.

"Here we are, stranded on this god-forsaken place with no one willing to come 10 lightyears near here.” Hansen's the crew's captain, but is more of a manager for his company rather than an aspiring explorer. Initially convinced by potential riches, the old bear is quickly regretting this journey.

“W-well you know good ol’ Kael here will always keep an eye out! Heh…” Despite being a chameleon, the comms manager is far from cold-blooded. Often overstimulated when spoken to in person, he can provide valuable information when over a headset. If you see a floating headset, you know who it is...

“Considering what we're unearthing here, I don't think we have anything to worry about… aside from getting home that is.” The researcher Fermi is one fixated doe. Despite the setbacks, she's working on unearthing the Zesolin history. Also Volt's beloved, she's the reason her crew could afford her.

I’ve survived a ship crash before! You think a lil' gravity would slow me down?” Proud, elegant, and sassy, Volt is a renowned mechanic that has been contracted to join a crew exploring an undiscovered planet in the event things went wrong. And wrong things went. Will her vixen grace be enough?
