aaand the tilemap is back, haha. i use it for tilled soil and to identify what kind of ground we're walking on, so that i can add different walk / step sounds later :) #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

had this hagstone idea for a time / weather display :D #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #wip

I've been busy bringing life into the village :) no animations yet, but i wanted to experiment with the look of sprites vs portraits. i'm also super proud of the wall texture! #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #wip #godot

Started working on a sprite version :) Hopefully it displays right, been having issues with bluesky and gifs lately #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation

new profile picture! it's a critter for my game: there'll be different types you can tame (after defeating their boss) and they'll either help out at the farm or in battle, or produce resources :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

Coming from the world of CSS, not having a max size was such a hard adjustment for me when styling my UI in Godot. I kinda learned to work around it but I'm still glad it's coming in 4.7! #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Dandelion poster for one of my shop scenes, finally finished! At some point I'll add a frame to it, but i've been working on this for the past few days and i need to work on something else now, haha. Original size is 171 x 231 px #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #dandelion #illustration

Shop scenes will have this "zoomed in" look / perspective, and i intend to use every available pixel! :D Currently working on the poster in the back, will post it soon once it's finished. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot

For those dealing with the new image compression blurring their pixel art, this thread is a must-read!

progress on the battle sprite :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation

battle sprite WIP :) spend the day yesterday on getting the base animation down, now onto clean-up and turning this into an actual character! currently at 21 frames #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation

life goal: befriending the murder of crows in my neighborhood! canvas size: 256 x 256px #pixelart #crow

started this as a realism practice, but i don't feel it anymore, so it'll probably never get finished, haha. Wanted to share nonetheless though :) #pixelart #wip

Working on a pixel godot spritesheet 🩷 #pixelart #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

It's kinda funny how game UI needs some sort of sound effect to not feel empty, but we don't react the same to eg web pages or "normal" apps... anyway, worked some more on my gamified task list and added sounds :D #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Me and my partner both have ADHD and struggle with house chores. Normal to do lists or schedules don't really work, so i thought, why not try to gamify the experience? :D Allowed steps will be determined by the finished task and you gain some bonus when completing one round 1/2 #gamedesign #godot

Progress on the tileset :) Still need to do some color adjustments and clean things up here and there, but i'm pretty proud about how much i've got done this week. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gameassets

working on trees and giant mushrooms, hehe #gamedev #indiedev #gameassets #pixelart

added some stones :) I'm having so much fun creating this tileset but currently no real use for it, so i decided to keep working on it until the end of the week and then publish it as a free asset pack to itch :) #gamedev #indiedev #isometric #gameassets #pixelart

i am having so much fun working on these tiles, it's ridiculous! Currently at 23 different grass tiles lol #gamedev #isometric #pixelart #indiedev #gameassets

Taking a tiny break from my main project to work on some isometric tiles :) #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #gameassets

Working on a little corner players can unlock to replenish their stamina during sunny days :) #gamedev #indiedev #godot #aseprite #pixelart

dropped items persist on map change :) something that annoys me most when playing this sort of game is when they don't. so, they'll persist until the end of the day, then some (not all) get moved to a "lost and found" chest. #indiedev #gamedev #godot #indiegame #pixelart

item pick up is still missing, but throwing them out is working :) #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

More inventory progress! Not sure if i keep displaying the HUD part when the inventory window itself is open, but if i do, they work together :) #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Been refactoring the inventory logic, 'cause the concerns were not really separated, lol. then i used the new logic to build the HUD inventory :) We have splitting one off / in half, stacking and switching around #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

redrew the other portrait i had :) i like this style way better, yapyap #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Still not finished, but this is a placeholder portrait i can live with now :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

redrawing my portraits again, lol. they're not necessarily bad, they just don't align with the overall style i'm going for. and although the game is still very much in placeholder art stage, i just can't stand looking at them, haha. #gamedev #indiedev

i'm not really satisfied with the humanoid portraits, but this one i like :) still needs some work, but i got to go back to sprites for now #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

I decided to start to record my drawing processes :) Here's a speedpaint of another character portrait. Still struggling with pixel eyes, but i feel like i'm getting better :) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #aseprite

Some character portrait progress :) pixel faces are hard, made so many iterations before i got here. and yes, i "cheated" and used the blur tool on her nose & cheeks to get the final result 🙃 #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

ugh, why are pixel faces so haaaard?! one wrong white pixel around the eyes and BAM, creepy demonic creature! i'm beginning to hate them even more than walk cycles #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

this current asset-creation week is going great so far! in-between animations i'm working on character portraits and i hope to be able to introduce some villagers by the end of the week :) until then, chicken WIP! #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

did some playing around with nav agents for my farm animals :) (repost cause the game music was way too loud, hopefully it's better now) #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

i used the base animation for a deer and he's so happy, it's so freaking cute #pixelart #animation

wobble wobble #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

this is such a fun idea!!

some progress :) i want to make them extra fluffy, we'll see how it turns out. I might reduce the head wobble, not sure yet :D Currently at only 4 frames #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

started with another round of asset creation! this coming week i'll focus on some simple animated sprites, to fill the maps with more life. Starting with some potential farm animals :) i still hate walk cycles btw #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation

Crops are finished for now, need to implement item drop/pick-up before i can finalize them. Deciding on how to save them was a bit finicky, but i'm happy it's working now :D #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Finally started working on a Crop class :) #godot #gamedev #indiedev

and now map objects can react to time changes, too :D i'll build something similar for animatedSprites next and then it's time to fill this project with some content! :) #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

now it's actually getting dark during night time :) #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

loving the editor updates in 4.6! My Dialogue basically consists of nested DialogueContent Resources and i can finally read all items without expanding the dock. Love it! On that note: floating docks, OMG! that pesky theme editor now has it's own screen :D #godotengine #gamedev

currently working on this cute little fishing spot :) #godotengine #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

this is how my super rough maps look like, lol. i draw the levels in big chunks (instead of using a tilemap), so this is a way for me to check dimensions and perceived map size. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #wip

been busy! Decided to build my own dialogue system using resources. Still a prototype but works well so far, we'll see how it'll scale up. Also, friendly reminder to think about translations early on, you don't wanna change all the text to keys when you're almost finished! #godot #gamedev #indiedev

I've been really productive yesterday! started working on an actual game map (not a placeholder) and decided to abandon the tilemap once again, let's hand draw everything, haha... btw aseprite's custom brush is a lifesaver for drawing/ sketching grass! #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #godot #aseprite

good enough for now, haha. i don't want to get too hung up on it now, because the final design isn't completely decided yet and i'll have to change it later anyway. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot
