I hope it isnt an issue and sorry for not keeping updates but i wanted to say that after 8 months of dev i feel incredibly burned out and couldnt bring myself to work on Bar at the edge of Papillon recently. Ill take a break and come back once i feel fully refreshed. #gamedev #solodev

Sorry for not having posted game dev updates but i was busy with commissions. Since i dont expect to get them often i'm gonna give them priority because i'd like the money In the meantime have a drawing ive made of an OC in my free time! #pixelart #art #digitalart

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

As promised, commissions are now open! I know i dont offer many kinds of pixel art yet, but ill expand it with time. If youre a gamedev and need something not in my carrd done i can bargain something anyway! coconutwitch.carrd.co #commissions #pixelart #digitalart

Sorry for posting so much, but now ive made another one i really wanted to share TwT I drew @keid-kei.bsky.social 's character Artemi in my style! #pixelart #art #digitalart

Definetly going to do portrait commissions now! I've gotten a commission from a friend, so even though i have them closed atm i decided to do one anyway here's the result! i've gotten permission to post it #art #digitalart #pixelart

Felt like making another one today! This time i just drew rem. Im probably going to open commissions for them as well, even though i want to improve them, mainly by increasing the contrast between borders. #art #pixelart #ReZero

Just done another portrait as practice I'm happy i can draw a face and body without taking 2 whole days now. I will definetly need some improvement in the future, but i cant say im not happy #pixelart #art

Will start work on my again on monday! Ive had a lot of fun making animations and tiles, so im posting it on itchio in the vain hope i might be able to swipe off a few bucks 😆 Will update it periodically unless im told it sucks coconut-witch.itch.io/aurora-fields #itchio #pixelart #gamedev

Doing some practice with animals too, this is my first time making them in pixel art, but all the practice ive done in everything else still paid off to make something cute! Will post the others in the replies since i cant upload gifs and can only upload 1 vid at a time... #pixelart #art

been using my pause to practice tilesets and animations, here's some stuff ive done the past 2 days! #gamedev #pixelart

Still need some practice with anatomy to get faces right, but ive made a new drawing for my pfp~ #pixelart #art

wanted to share a 64x64 pixel art artwork i made today morning, of an iconic weapon from the project moon series. there's stuff i still need to learn about higher resolution icons but i cant lie and say im not satisfied! #art #pixelart

Ive been taking a mental health break the past few days but it hasnt stopped me from making progress. Will tweak things a bit but the meat now works, i have the background, and you can salt it working on remaking the boba tea mechanics entirely now #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #cozygames

Im going on a vacation for 2 weeks so you will probably not get updates for my game after this saturday (it depends, maybe i get the itch) You might be getting some pixel art practice tho Also im going to open commissions from the end of this vacation onwards, for now mainly for 16x16 icons

Alright, time's up I just went "pspsps" into the mic and increased the pitch

I wanted to do some minecraft sprites as practice, this isnt about my game but i'm going to post them anyway! #pixelart #minecraft #art

I just want you all to *guess* how i made the salt shaker sound... (Spoiler, it wasnt made by using a salt shaker) #gamedev #cozygames #pixelart

Thank you dear, you're an amazing girlfriend and artist <3

A feature i'm working on for some food items is branching upgrades! With nekoyakis for example, you're going to be able to slice their head in half to shove lettuce, ham and eggs inside of them! (Warning: very graphic) #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart

Going to show off what i made for my game later, but i wanted to show off some other art ive made today just because i wanted to! #pixelart #gamedev #art

I've made the new bar layout and finished making the new cleaning background. Not much is left until the demo is ready. I'm gonna redo how the boba tea minigame works thanks to my girlfriend's suggestions and make pizza as the 6th food for the demo! #gamedev #pixelart #cozygames

This is how far ive come till now with the UI Ive tried implementing a page turning animation too but unfortunately the method i wanted to use didnt work, so i wont for now. Regardless, the idea is having multiple upgrades for each menu item! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

A lot of this week's work has been spent either trying marketing again or redoing the steam page, but i've taken some time to start designing and working on the new after-day UI. I'm adding a separate catalogue for food compared to regular upgrades, heres a sneak peek #gamedev #pixelart #cozygames

I've begun development on the minigames inside my game. I already had the dish washing, but now i have a rat smacking minigame as well, which will appear at certain intervals during the day if you have dishes on your menu that contain a lot of cheese! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

Wanted to show my progress on the UI. Ive struggled a lot coming up with something that looks good, but i think ive finally done it!

I've decided to redo the capsule art i drew around a month ago. Last time i think i got a bit lazy, but this time its much better #pixelart #gamedev #solodev

I've just created a watermark for my pixel art! Here's a showcase of all ice-creams in my game to go along with it #pixelart #gamedev #art

Progress update, ive finished the nekoyakis! What are nekoyakis? theyre just cat shaped tayakis, i thought they'd be a cute idea. I put a lot of effort into the animation and sprites, even though the fillings might require a bit of tweaking. #gamedev #pixelart #indiegames

Unrelated to the project im working on at the moment but i think ive finally learned how to make good looking color palletes. Im definetly going to use this knowledge for future games, but heres something i drew in the meantime as practice! #pixelart #art

But of a busy day to be posting an update Regardless, i prepared a UI rework (new vs old here in the screenshots) and im starting to work on a food inspired by tayaki, but cat shaped! #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

Will tweak stuff in the future, rn im working on the cooking UI (heres the old version). but other than the tweaks and polishing, ive implemented the boba tea! #pixelart #indiegames

Unfortunately i havent finished implementing the boba tea yet, so no screenshot saturday post, have been busy But its almost done! Mechanically its done, i just need to do like 2 things Will keep you updated by wednesday.

I drew some boba tea sprites, which one do you like the most? #pixelart #gamedev

I decided to entirely derail from the settings menu in favour of redoing the ice cream already. I made the balls less ball-sy and the background more background-y! Cant wait for the demo of Bar at the Edge of Papillon to be ready, but it will take a bit! #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #gamedev

Just came back today and im trying to figure out a way to improve the ice cream textures without them looking weird of out of place. Havent really had much time to work today but yeah, i somehow managed to make a very realistic ice cream. #cozygames #indiegames

I'm in germany atm so i cant work atm, but ill share some progress i made. This is the end of day screen, i'm still not satisfied with the chibis and stars, but ill work on them later. Atm im touching the settings screen! #screenshotsaturday #cozygames

Time to start showing my game! After 5 months into development, ive finally put up a steam page for my game, bar at the edge of papillon, a cozy cooking sim game inspired by "Cook Serve Delicious!" feel free to check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3778600/... #indiegames #wishlistwednesday

It's been a while since my last post! Unfortunately most of my recent work has been spent working on the trailer and preparing for the steam page, waiting for feedback atm. In the meantime, i wanted to show just another cute little animation i made! #gamedev #indiegamedev #pixelart #art #solodev

Alright! The preparations are almost complete. (1/2) Ive added a sitting animation for the clients, and in the final game i plan on making it so you can click the keys on their speech bubble to open their orders. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #pixelart

Man, im so close to finishing everything i want to make for the trailer and i cannot wait to show at least part of it if not all of it during the screenshot saturday. Still wondering whether i should add more stuff to it, but im def gonna show some footage this weekend.

Hello everyone! Development on the game is close enough to where i might be able to start working on a trailer within around 1-2 weeks if everything goes well. In the meantime, if you wanted to help me out, im leaving a buymeacoffee link (1/5) buymeacoffee.com/coconutwitch #gamedev #solodev

One thing about being a #gamedev or any other kind of artist is when youre just starting out and see other people make similar things as you much better. It's a bit demotivating, but comparison is the thief of joy, and yall should be proud of what you make, and use that feeling as fuel to improve.

I was really feeling like something in the old bar design i was using was wrong, like, from an interior design perspective. I remade it, but i might just make it so the player can unlock 3/4 interiors troughout the game. #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #art #pixelart

It took me a long time to make something i was satisfied for, especially considering i want to show off coffee in the game trailer. I havent finished the rest of the drinks yet, but this is the drink dispenser background and animation! #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #pixelart

It took me a lot longer to make a single background than i'd have realized! That and the files i sent at my gfs place didnt transfer, so i worked on other stuff. Just wanted to give everyone a peek at the current dialogue system! #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #art #pixelart

I havent posted anything in a while, but i promise its because im working hard on the game. I wanted to show a sneak peek of one of the cutscene backgrounds i'm currently working on, even if incomplete! I think i got better at drawing backgrounds too #art #pixelart #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev

Apparently steam requires a selfie to be able to verify a steamworks account Lets see if 10 months of transition throws them off lmao

The (painful) drawing process is going (somewhat) smoothly! This is batana, Poba's sister, and one of the characters she can talk to troughout the game. I cant wait for everything to be done so i can show yall what ive done! #art #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegamedev
