Sometimes you just gotta paint some dragons and rocks

Hey hey some of the art for the new faction is getting teased! I'm jazzed for these guys to be in the wild soon, the design process and illustrations were a lot of fun. 🦎 💥

Being an adult doesn’t mean you have to outgrow joy. Play the game. Buy the console. Get excited about the trailer. Spend your night saving a fictional kingdom if that’s what gets you through. Life takes enough from people. Don’t hand it the things that still make you feel like yourself.

So, turns out I was attempting to teach myself to code incorrectly for years. And when I figured that out, it suddenly got a lot easier. This video was pretty instrumental in helping to fix that, so I'm passing it along. www.youtube.com/watch?v=azcr...

positioned so the star of the house of Fëanor goes uh well

In the hospital waiting for my husband to go into surgery to find out how much of his leg he gets to keep.

Got a bread maker for Christmas and I'm finally giving it a go with a Hokkaido milk bread recipe.

Fuck yes look at this!

I'm filling out legal and financial paperwork today for a contract job. It's exciting to be getting paid again, but I didn't expect this creeping uncertainty about do I even know how to work a full 40 hours a week anymore?

I needed some placeholder art and looked at image search. The amount of AI was horrible. Went to art station to buy some things and I just left with the resolve of doing it myself. It'll be better anyway as I can explore UI styles as I go.

She complemented my tiny hovel and I said oh thank you do you like it and before I know it I have the most horrifying roommate

It's past my bedtime but I'm not done playing with my pokeymans

GUYS!!! Lookit my RIIIIIIINGS! (I did NOT like working on this system but goddamnit, it's going to make level design SCADS easier) #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #UnrealEngine #GryphonGame

I've been listening to an audiobook about airships (zeppelins, dirigibles, or blimps, depending on locale), and how they NEVER really worked, but governments had invested so much in them that they were determined to MAKE them work, wasting fortunes & years & lives This post is not about airships

Hey check out this cool puzzle game a friend of mine is working on! They've got a great team, are great people, and I love that they're drawing from local, South American traditions! messy-bytes.itch.io/qhipan/devlo...

I'm really enjoying legend of khiimori so far! There are a LOT of similarities w the game I'm making, but a lot of difference in doc and execution. I'm excited watch as khiimori moves through early access

Finally found a texture workflow that I like! I want a pixel art look, but I'm bad at it and hate doing it, so it's not a matter of 'just practice'. I made this using Substance Painter along with a filter called Pixel8r and I LOVE this. #Indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #substance3d #GryphonGame

Slippy: Do an Aileron Roll! #indiedev #gamedev #unreal #GryphonGame

Sometimes when you're crashing out about how in the world to start designing flight race tracks you just need a level designer friend to smack you upside the head and tell you to make your gryphon fly through hoops. <3 love you Clover.

I estimated a month to port my project into Unreal from Unity. I completed it in 11 days! aka, the shelf life of a kobold. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unreal #GryphonGame

I had so much hope for Bloodborne 😭 Not to mention everyone's livelihoods in an already brutal market. Take care of yourselves, everyone. <3

LIFTOFF! This represents two solid weeks of work re-making what I already had in Unity inside Unreal. I have custom ground and flight movement systems featuring tank controls and auto-follow camera with anticipation pan. I'm SO happy! #indiegame #indiedev #unreal #GryphonGame

oh god, oh geez, oh heck. Nope NOPE I am NOT making a motion sickness simulator. #indiedev #indiegame #unreal #gryphongame

Oh no. I've already written a bunch of blueprints like this. I've just realized this is all a bunch of if/then statements and in Unity, I'd favor using a switch statement so I don't have to run through all the options and.. and... oh NO do I already need to refactor my blueprints?!?

Believe it or not, this is great progress! Got a weird mathematical hitch when pitch input tries to move from positive to negative or visa'versa, but that's just one more thing to work on :) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Unreal

The gryphon is in Unreal! (also I finished the pace animation, run is still just keyframes) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Unreal #GryphonGame

My goal is to recreate what I already had in unity within unreal in a month. I thought it would be doable but challenging. After spending today working on it, I think a month might be more than enough time? Famous last words.

I know I only bought one roll, but this nearly $300 box feels like it should be both larger and much more heavy 😬

I'm rebuilding what I have so far of Gryphon Game in unreal engine. It remains to be seen if I'm making a mistake, but I'll never learn new things if I don't try.

Aaaand now I'm re-writing the speed system in gryphon game because I wasn't happy with it

Thank goodness I've got my ADHD meds back. Makes it POSSIBLE to concentrate, but I don't have the stamina. After intense concentration and development on my game yesterday, today I'm fucking WRECKED. I brained too hard!

It's my codebase and if I wanna fill it with references to the comedic genius of Suzy Eddie Izzard nobody can stop me!

This book fucking rocks. Immaculate vibes and a wonderful feeling of doing your best, despite it all and despite certain failure. It was ultimately cathartic and comforting for me in times such as these.

We got flying, we got flapping, we got a better-behaved camera controller, let's gooooo! #gamedev #indiedev #unity #blender #gryphongame

Okay, that's it. I have a POWERFUL NEED for this wallpaper. It shimmers amazingly in the light. Since the current wall is black, the dark green and gold will be way brighter too!

Lord forgive me, reading this Vermis book has made me experiment with the Forbidden Science (solo roleplaying versions of HIS MAJESTY THE WORM) I have a small playtest up on the Worm discord if you'd like to swing by and check it out

I'm naming my game-making entity Tiny Tiger, after an incident in the first grade when a horrible teacher tried to squash my creativity. I will NOT be squashed, though I may be small and weird!

I FINALLY got my ADHD meds refilled and was SO excited to start them again today, Monday. But then insomnia struck and I got next to no sleep so now instead of excited productivity I'm SO fucking tired, but at least a little focused?

No Justice. No Peace. Art Drop. 🔗⬇️ 100% of the sales will go to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota. A nonprofit law firm providing legal assistance to low-income, Minnesota immigrants and refugees.

A certain griffin egg we've been carrying throughout our lastest DND sessions finally hatched. Our group named him Hoden. Apparently it means testicle in german. #dmd #dndart #ttrpg

There's a LOT of work to be done. Much more damping. Fix the dang camera. Make some real animations, etc etc. BUT!!! She flyin'! #gamedev #indiedev #Unity #GryphonGame

I assembled a heated house for the outdoor kitties and Zelda kept jumping inside. Eventually my husband grabbed her and gave her a lecture about it being for less fortunate kitties and reminding her she gets to sleep on top of US for warmth. I don't think she was very impressed.

I love living in the upper Midwest, I do, I swear (send help)

Oh shit I never showed this, but she's running around! I have her flying too, but it feels REAL BAD at the moment. Animations are just key frames and some procedural stuff for now, until I get sick of tweaking flight params and go back to blender. #gamedev #indiedev #unity #gryphongame

I am so, SO proud of all my friends and family in Minnesota. I'm so proud of all of you that I don't know. I wish my life had shaken out slightly differently in a way that would have led me to live among you, but on the whole I am just so proud to call you neighbors.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

Alright, my pixel art gothic font Decree is now out! I spent quite a bit of time refining it today and I think I'm happy with it! The funds from this font will go directly to the development of Godscrown! Can't afford the $2? Feel free to reach out! #pixelart #gamedev #font #art

I will kill again #GryphonGame

WHEEEEEE #gamedev #indiedev #Unity #GryphonGame

Wheeeee! Look at 'er go! After deleting the walk, I've now finished rough keys for walk, run-walk, and run. Along with a one frame jump and flying pose. I'm ready to jump back in engine!
