I started remodeling the Verdant Arcade to make it look better and more realistic to what a small local arcade would be like. Still a lot of work to be done but it's definitely better. I also overhauled the NPC dialogue code! #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

In addition to the Trash Demons, I finished designing, modeling, and animating a new enemy for my DOOM-parody minigame "BROOM" called the "Mop Mutant." #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #DOOM #classicdoom

Finished modeling and animating the Trash Demons for my DOOM-parody minigame called "BROOM." For reference, BROOM is just an arcade game inside my main project; "Fellas." #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #DOOM #classicdoom

Frigid's Clear Night theme is officially out! :D #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #music www.youtube.com/watch?v=BGc_...

Heavy progress made on Frigid! I've been focusing on finishing the building models, polishing the textures and colors, and improving rain elements. Also added 3/9 themes and some of the NPCs. Gonna work on the fishing minigame soon! #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Still working on Frigid. Initially, I wasn't entirely sure how I wanted it to look other than it being very different from Melo and Nerro. I think it's really starting to take shape and look the way I want. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

This little guy's name's Cherrywood Fella (Aka "Choo"). He lives out in the town of Frigid, where he runs a foraged goods store. Be sure to pop in sometime and say hi! :D #fellasgame #melofellas #indiedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #characterart #oc

New screenshots coming soon. Been working on my parody F-Zero minigame "E-Max" like crazy. Overhauled everything to make it more like F-Zero GX. #fellasgame #fzero #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Been trying to come up with a design for the town of Frigid and felt I should just go ahead and share screenshots of where I'm at with it's concept in blender. It's still a major WIP but it's definitely starting to take shape. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Presenting our newest member: Chill Fella (aka Chino)! Chino's gonna be workin' alongside his cousin, Chrome Fella (formerly Red), fixing cars. But who knows where he'll be if he follows his passion for cooking... #fellasgame #melofellas #indiedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #characterart #oc

A new fella's joining the Melo Fellas crew! Feel free to guess the color! :D #fellasgame #melofellas #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #gamedevelopment #characterart #oc

Been working on updating Lava Java to make it feel more like a functional coffee shop. It still needs some serious tweaking all around but I definitely prefer this to my old layout/concept. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Added some more detail to the main buildings in Melo. I'm still working on several of the interiors and implementing the subway but it's getting a lot closer to how I want it all to look and feel. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

The Main Theme for Fellas is officially up! :D #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #music youtu.be/Vu5-uoWRVpA

Haven't updated in a while cause I got sick and I was working on some pretty spoiler-heavy things. I recently started working on touching up the details of Melo, though. Here are some screenshots! (Most of the colors are temporary) #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Making serious progress on torso and arm accessories. Sage finally has her arm bands, and Kashmir has the majority of his clothes. I still need to work on making sleeves work but I'm getting really close to the base look for everything!!! #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Neck accessories are officially working now! I still need to see how I can fix the materials so they match the base reflectivity and brightness of the main Fella texture and get to work on making things like shirts functional. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

Head accessories are officially working! I still need to work on some of the models and textures (like for Sage's horns) but aside from that- it's pretty much done. Next steps are neck accessories and other clothing. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment

I haven't been able to post very much recently because I've been working on some parts of Fellas that are important to the story. Here's a screenshot of what I think will be the final design for the customization realm (aka "The Canvas"). #fellasgame #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

Been experimenting with design concepts for the opening customization menu. I plan on posting some clips of what the game looks like in motion, but I have a list of other things I'm still actively working on patching first so it's gonna be a while. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Got basic code working for the subway system. UI is a WIP but the displays are functional on both, the HUD, and the trains. I plan on adding a transit map functionality to the phone maps app and some little displays near the pillars to show the next several trains. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev

Base mechanics for the subway system are coming along pretty well. Here's a little look at the testing design I've been using for the subway with a Fella for scale reference. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Recently added my coffee shop "Lava Java" to the Alpha testing build of Fellas. Gonna overhaul the design at some point, but at the moment I'm just working on making it all functional when it comes to NPCs and the actual purchasing UI. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Just a neat lil screenshot of what the island of Campna was lookin' like about 40 minutes ago. #fellasgame #mainmenu #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Added a journal app and a calendar app to the phone mechanic in Fellas. UI is all still very WIP at the moment- but I'm just glad to say it's all properly functional. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

I've officially added a functional music store and a music app system to Fellas. So now, when you go buy an album at Cerulean Fella's record store, you'll get a digital copy that you can play wherever you want from your phone! (UI is a WIP) #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Took forever but I finally got customization to work in multiplayer. Special thanks to my bud, Yellow Fella for helpin' me test until we got it working! Now I just need to clear up a million other little bugs... #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #steamgame

Still thinkin' on exactly what I want the main menu to look like- but for now I think this is a pretty solid base design. (Especially compared to the old one ~ *the silhouettes*) #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Haven't posted in a little bit cause I've been focusing on some of the more tedious parts of development, but I plan on sharing some more Fellas screenshots soon! :D

Design comparison for the old Bills UI and the new one: #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #graphicdesign

Updated the HUD UI and added an analog clock. I also fixed the stretched look of the lockscreen background and made the white bar at the bottom bigger. #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment #indiegame

Still a WIP but I've overhauled the base design for the pause menu (Mostly referring to the layout). Apart from that I'm pleased to say Fellas has officially entered early Alpha testing!!! :D #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #gamedeveloper

Idk if there's another developer out there who knows this pain but I just had to remove steamworks.NET and replace it with Facepunch.Steamworks. This past 9 hours has been miserable to say the least...

Spent most of today replacing the entire Fellas font and adding some new characters. Took forever... Apart from that, I made the sunrise and sunset change according to the season and updated a bunch of phone textures. #fellasgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedevelopment #indiegame

I managed to get a lot of the basics for the phone, apps, and more specifically the Weather App set up. (Side note ~ I need to adjust the sky so dusk & dawn change with daylight saving time or at the very least so it isn't night at 7 still) #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

Officially decided to stop making YouTube content (Melo Fellas & all others) until I have at the very least the Steam page for Fellas public. This is the first time in a while I've been this deep in code again and it feels way more comfortable to me than when I edit videos or stream.

I've finally added the walk cycle to the walking NPCs! Also did some tweaking to the NPC randomization, added a ton of new face parts, and optimized the rain & snow particle systems. Overall making some serious progress! :D #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

There are officially very specific randomized values for features on each walking Fella NPC you see in the game. (The odds of you finding a Fella with each type of face coloring are listed in replies) #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

I really want to add a custom player housing feature in Fellas. I got started on the concept for it a couple years ago- but it may not end up appearing in the demo when it comes out... Not entirely sure atm. Stay tuned to find out.

Still needs some serious tweaking and I need to fix the animations but the base randomization of the walking NPCs is officially working with the new character model! I plan on adding random width, height, weather-dependent accessories, etc. #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev

Base eyebrow customization menu feature is finished. You can now change the color, toggle, and cycle through designs of the eyebrows (symmetrically or individually). UI's still in a really rough stage but it's officially functional! :D #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

Okay so I officially have the height and width values set with a max and minimum height of (7'0", 4'6") (The game will have a metric toggle). There are currently 31 height values and 45 width values. It may change still but this is what it is for now. #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

Tiny example of some of the wacky things you can do with customization in Fellas. (you can pick the 2 tile colors separately)

I updated the UI and added color sliders. Also decided to add a new customization mechanic that I was unsure of before. Height and width. It definitely needs some more tweaking but I think it's a fun addition. #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

Completely overhauling the character customization menu today for the last time so it works with the newly improved customizable elements I've added to the player model. It's gonna be a long night... #fellasgame #indiegame #solodev #gamedevelopment #charactercustomization

This frame right here is the most relatable coding moment I've ever seen.

I've officially uploaded a demo build and set up the vast majority of the 99 million friggin settings steam demands. Just gotta upload 4 more pictures for the screenshots requirement. #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev

Little weather update... Right now in my game, "Fellas," it's gonna be sprinkling for at least the next 3 hours! :D #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

In my game "Fellas," I’ve programmed a system that builds on and improves certain qualities from Animal Crossing. The entire game runs in real time—meaning not only the time of day, but the weather too. I’ll explain more in the comments. #fellasgame #indiedev #solodev

I went back to working on some YouTube stuff right after I'd started setting up a bunch of stuff for the Fellas steam page. Been for the most part regularly unmotivated when it came to game development over the past year. Idk what it was but the feeling's back and I plan on dropping a demo soon.
