yesterday I finished pixelling and coding the animations for the third and final main character of my #VisualNovel Dungeon of Departure his name is Duro and he is an idiot... #CharacterArt #PixelArt #OriginalCharacter #CharacterDesign #OC #Art #IndieDev #RenPy

just finished another background for my #VN project... I'm loving the foreground and background tones, but something about the green in the, uh, midground seems off... oh well... #PixelArt #BackgroundArt #ArtPost #Art

here's what a year and a half of #PixelArt improvement looks like... I finally figured out how to pixel hands... #CharacterArt #PixelFed #OriginalCharacter #OC

new #GameMusic alert... this one started as a simple, fun hometown tune but somehow became a deeply wistful and ruminative journey of sentimentality; a lament for things left unsaid... weird how that happens when composing... www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b60... #music #OST #VideoGameMusic #soundtrack

so my game won't have a map; the player will have to make their own map (i.e. on graph paper) based on the descriptions of the dungeon in the dialogue... but I went ahead and made a map for myself, just for reference... I can't share the whole thing, but here's a snippet: #Map #PixelArt #Dungeon

just posted a new #devlog for my #PixelArt #VisualNovel project on #itchio quiteadept.itch.io/dod/devlog/9... #CharacterArt #PixelFed #IndieDev #SoloDev #GameDev #IndieGame #VN #WIP

just published a new song from the soundtrack... it's very chill, resonant, and a bit somber... let me know what you think... www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xg-L... #OST #Soundtrack #GameMusic #VideoGameMusic #Music #Chill #Relaxing #Piano #GameDev #IndieDev #VisualNovel #PixelArt #Musician #Composer

sometimes you can make a photo more interesting by turning it upside down... often the same is true for one's outlook on life... ah, sweet reflection... #photography #flowers #flower #pond #trees #nature #NaturePhotography #reflection

I just published a new song from my VN project, this one is a classic, early-game, hometown type of theme, a bit twangy, and borrows its motif from the main theme... enjoy! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ITj... #Music #MusicMaker #OST #GameMusic #VGM #VisualNovel #PixelArt #SoloDev #IndieDev

this is my favorite of the few poems I've written... I hope it is okay to share it with the kind people of the internet... you can tell me what you think of it if you are into that sort of thing, even if we don't know each other... #Poem #Poetry #Writing #CreativeWriting #Poet #FeedbackWelcome

I would like to share the main theme from my visual novel, if that is alright with you... www.youtube.com/watch?v=G0hX... #VisualNovel #OST #Soundtrack #Music #MusicMaker #GameMusic #OriginalMusic #MusicComposition #DungeonOfDeparture
