Broke 100 wishlists on Steam, despite my poor social media presence! I’m hoping to get a Demo out in the next couple months, so hopefully that will give it a boost! Thank you everyone! 🩵

Oof my godot workflow is rusty. The six months between git commits is really showing as I put together menus and cutscenes. But we’re making progress!! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I think it's been a while... 🪩 Well here's a bunch of new stuff. Look how Mr crab guy is doing exactly his job! Haha 💀 #orborbmagi #indiegamedev #pinball

Been afk for a few months as we made a second international move in as many years! We’re settled and I was finally able to dig out the tablet and get some good art animated today! Welcome to the folks who have arrived since I’ve been gone!

Some time ago I made a janky animation of a cat Pleased to announce that it's the vis for "spirit cat," the music that got licensed for use in @peregrinepoint.bsky.social 🤍 Enjoy! And if you like what you hear and want me to score your game, hmu on Discord (@/Troisnyx) #gameaudio #gamedev

Here's the last Sprytewood update before upgrading to godot 4.5. Spoiler: It's prettier now 🥰 And technically we achieved Character costumization before moonstone island Ha! 😂You can now play as human, goblin or elf. jil-hue.itch.io/sprytewood/d... #godot #sprytewood #pixelart #indiegamedev

I do all my best brainstorming/planning laying on the floor trying to get the toddler to sleep. #indiedev

Ahhhhh!!!💙💙💙

Been slow progress over here, but i did get one of the ending vignettes drawn this weekend #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

If i see a lighthouse can i write the beach day off as a business expense?

Finally starting to work through my backlog of games on Itch and through released games on my wish list. This will be a thread of my thoughts on the games I'm playing! 1/?

Testing out the new HUD and realized the game's really starting to look/feel like a Video Game™ #gamedev #indiedev #devlog

Went to update the bucket objects sprite and ended up implementing a bucket state machine.

Keep the lighthouse lit to help guide lost kitty souls to where they need to be. 💡- Fill and polish the lamp 💌 - Discover the love letters left behind by the keeper 🎣 - Line the walls with your angling trophies Wishlist on steam: store.steampowered.com/app/3358960/... #PitchYaGame

Getting the steam page up has rekindled my drive to work on the game so strongly. This week I’ve already implemented the process for finding all the letters throughout the lighthouse and drawn/coded most of the lens cleaning mini game. #indiedev #devlog #godot

STEAM PAGE ANNOUNCEMENT The steam page is finally live! Please share and wishlist! #indiedev #gamedev #godot #steam store.steampowered.com/app/3358960/...

Happy start of Pride month

Heres a little teaser trailer for the upcoming steam page! #indiedev #gamedev Song by the amazing @troisnyx.bsky.social

I’m living that Edison quote, but it’s a thousand ways not to draw a curved staircase.

Nothing to break you out of a art slump like cutting a game trailer and realizing how little of the game is ready to show! Brb, gonna spend all day animating a little cutscenes to add SOMETHING new! #indiedev #devlog #gamedev

One of the best books I’ve read in a very very long time. If you like The Magnus Archives this has a very similar theme of short form horror with an interconnected meta narrative. Plus its about the horrors intrinsic to the existence of Billionaires which seems topical

Working on one last set piece before I make the basic trailer. Then i have everything to finish the steam page!

Been in the hospital with the toddler for the last 10 days (he’s ok!) It has not been productive for gamedev or literally anything else, but I have been able to sit down and write dialogue that has been hanging over me!

3 year anniversary of when I dragged my spouse to Fish Market Close in Edinburgh so that I could see the location of the Anglerfish in the first episode of The Magnus Archives. They were like “oh this is not a touristy thing, this is a you thing” @rustyquill.com

I told myself if I ever made a game I was going to have to shoehorn a fishing mini game into it. Which meant I got to spend a relaxing weekend a while back just doodling fish sprites. #devlog #indiedev #pixelart #pixelgame #godot

I think I would feel better if I could just go lie down in a bog for a while. Maybe a marsh. Some sort of wetlands for sure. I just feel like some mud and bugs could fix me ya know?

I really appreciate how easy and straightforward setting up controller support was in Godot!

Wanted to add a bit of challenge. The blue shows which way the fish is pulling, the white shows which direction button the player is holding. The player has to be holding the oposite direction from the fish pull when they press the action button to reel it in. #indiedev #gamedev #fishingminigame

Sharing the progress I'm making on the fishing mini game! Still needs a lot of polishing and labels and stuff, but I'm pleased with how it's going! #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Pushed two (2) whole commits to github today. The first time since November 3. This fishing mini game has been really fun (read: challenging) to put together. Excited to show more! #indiedev #gamedev

Been missing home in the PNW so drawing this fishing background was cathartic. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Its not much but I’ve finished animating the fishing rod, now to finish the actually fishing background to give it some context! #indiedev #pixelart #devlog

I generally only listen to audiobooks, so I’m really picky when it comes to horror books. I have to vibe with the content, pace, narration and audio quality. So when I find someone whose books I like I tend to listen to everything in their catalog I can get my mitts on. Anyone else like that?

After a solid month of no progress I sat down today to sketch out the new art for the fishing mini game. Feels good to get back into it. #indiedev #devlog

Post a pic YOU took (no explanation) to bring some zen to the timeline

This week is starting with “The Guillotine”, an Eat the Rich, very graphic/gory revenge horror book with camp slasher beats. Delilah S. Dawson also wrote one of my favorite Star Wars Novel!

Been quiet on here because, as it is with a toddler, there hasn’t been a day where all three of us are healthy since November. I promise I will get back in the game dev saddle soon!

I'm sure someone else has a similar list going around, but I didn't find it! Check out some really cool pixel art games and game devs that I've seen in my short time here! go.bsky.app/Nn493Gm

Honestly more than I thought I’d have, but definitely room for improvement. There are some that I’ve watched let’s plays of, but never actually played lol

The biggest bummer of gamedeving on a Mac (that I’m not allowed to dual boot) is wishlisting all the awesome games other people are making while knowing I can’t play most of them until I build a PC. Just wait, once it’s built it’s over for y’all. I’m gonna play every game!

I'll show off more of the new art when I have it more polished, but I did spend a bunch of time making this mirror work! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Happy Neopets advent calendar month to those who celebrate.

this weeks background audiobook is a great mixture of queer romance, coming of age, horror and tragedy. Like if Heartstopper was also gory horror. Definitely worth the read!

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.

Good morning! Our two cozy starter packs were just updated ☀️ ✨ Cozy Games/Studios ✨ go.bsky.app/LDqJYBD 💕 Cozy Game Devs 💕 go.bsky.app/Q68Qvbi

I realized I never posted my old proof of concept fishing mini game! I’m excited to actually build it out soon! #godot #indiedev #devlog

Hey folks, I need more travel souvenirs to sprinkle throughout the game. If you have a favorite souvenir I’d love to hear it and maybe add it!
