First test of doing some bloom effects in #TwilightObscura I need to fiddle with it some more, but I think it's heading in a good direction. #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev

Projects. Betcha cant have just one. (I currently have 3 on the go) Worked on some art over the weekend for my *dream game* #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #dreamgame

Added "Radiation Storm" weather event on Earth. Extremely heavy rain w/ thunder and lightning. RIP video bitrate. #indiedev #mecha #roguelike

I am making this game :) #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #ignitement

Another day another side project. #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

One of my favorite parts of developing a game is when you make a simple mistake like forgetting to divide by 100. And then something hilarious like this is the result #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

Taking a break from the Christmas theme game today to work on the main project Revealing the new title for the game. Twilight Obscura. Hopefully I won't have to change it again #TwilightObscura #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

The goal this week: Finish the core loop Iteration on the combat and user feedback Get some environmental elements into the game A big empty grid is BORING #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

I think one of the hardest parts of game dev(for me) is effects and 'juice'. Today I am working on some particle effects for the game and realized that the software I use, Pixel FX Designer, was made in gamemaker! #pixelart #solodev #indiedev itch.io/s/159692/pix... Thanks @codemanu.bsky.social

I think every game I work on in the future will have some sort of built in date tracker for release dates and milestones. #pixelart #solodev #gamedev #indiedev

Here is a WIP shot of some auto-tiling working for the level editor tool I am developing. Most of the time is being spent on the game itself, but I think this is a cooler thing to show off. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Added everyone's new favorite demon, Akaza, to the cast of my #DemonSlayer pixel characters. What did you think of the movie? #pixelart #infinitycastle #kimetsunoyaiba

I haven't posted here in a while, and a lot has happened. I won best in show at Atlantic XP with my demo for veil of twilight in June. 2 games I worked on with the team at Iron Fox Games were released! And this is me announcing that I am now working full time as a solo dev! #Indiedev #pixelart

Made the prototype available on itch #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #pixelart robotnick44.itch.io/obscura-veil...

Haven't updated in a a whole week! I have been on bizdev all week. Almost done all my paperwork and spreadsheets and can get back to the game making part soon! Here is a picture of Brimble telling me I'm doing a good job. #solodev #indiegame #pixelart #bizdev

Showing off the last couple months of work at #xpatlantic I was super happy with the response. Only a few bugs showed up. Once those are fixed, I'll be uploaded the demo free to play on itch.io #solodev #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #gameboy

Happy Friday Everyone! Time to lock in for the weekend, and *push* to get this demo ready. #pixelart #solodev #indiegame #gamemaker #crunch

I got stickers! (and I wish I got more) Is this marketing? #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #marketing

Super productive weekend of grinding on the demo. Still lots to do. One weekend left before it needs to be ready. #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

2 weeks until the first prototype demo needs to be ready to show off The part that hurts me the most is not being able to spend countless hours on every single interaction, detail, animation or mechanic. Even on such an early demo I want everything absolutely perfect #indiedev #solodev #gameboy

Today I'm going to code up a new Shadow Effect for Timespinner 2! Come stop by the development livestream and say hi! :D www.twitch.tv/lunarraygames #indiedev #metroidvania #xna

Haven't done a non-pixel art drawing a very long time. Lots of room to improve, but pretty satisfied with the result of a morning of drawing. #solodev #indiedev #drawing #gamedev

Sometimes, you just gotta explore ancient Temples. #indiegamedev #gamedev #gameboy #pixelart

Please ignore the placeholder railings :D #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker

One of the first NES homebrew projects I worked on with @artixgames.bsky.social, a retro action RPG full of undead, chaos, and 8-bit mayhem! ⚔️ Physical NES edition & more: dungeonsanddoomknights.com #NES #homebrew #nesdev #NESmaker #indiegames #gamedev #ファミコン #同人ゲーム

For the last 6 weeks I have been working on Obscura: Veil of Twilight. It started as a side project for fun. After the positive feedback I've decided to make Obscura my main project. Now, I have 18 days to complete a short demo for @xpgaminginc.bsky.social Atlantic 😅 #solodev #pixelart #indiedev

This is the second pass on the attacking. Originally I had a 3 attack combo, but it didn't have the rhythm I was looking for. Now that I have a version I am happier with how it feels it's time to make it GOOD. #solodev #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame

Experimenting with my first cut scenes..... Converting my drawings for the low resolutions of the #Gameboy was a neat learning experience. #gbstudio #gamedevelopment #retrogaming #retrogames #nintendo #thecultofblood #cultofblood #gamedev #castlevania @itch.io @gbstudiocentral.com @gbstudio.dev

Indie game marketing is basically shouting about your game incessantly on social media hoping that one account with tons of followers will repost.

#ScreenshotSaturday ! Got lots done this week. My favorite new addition is perhaps the ferry that circles the island in the distance :--) There's now also respawning and a lap timer - slowly turning this into a playable game instead of just a sandbox demo. #Godot3

Working on an early dungeon for Obscura. It has some nice views. #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #indiegame #solodev #zeldalike

feels like i've just been walking in circles the past few weeks... #gamedev #indiedev

The power of iteration! 1 day, 1 week, 1 month and where its at today. Its easy to forget where you started when working on a project everyday. #solodev #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

Wake up traveler. #gamedev #solodev #pixelart #gameboy

Sometimes you just need to go for a run #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I have been working on this game boy color inspired game for a few weeks now, and I am excited for what is shaping up to be a fun little playable demo. #indiegame #gamedev #solodev

Working on making all of the demon slayer characters as pixel art characters as a fun warmup project each day. Who should I make next?
