I think there is something cool about seeing a level in editor all the way zoomed out. Here's a couple of mine. - Mountain Pass - Embers Fall - Inabelle's Maze - The Wizard's Walk Anyone else have some cool zoomed out looking levels? #indiedev #gamedev #unity3d

Dialog, dialog, dialog... I am happy that I added some shortcuts to make/moving nodes and switching between speakers easier. I'm now only blocked by my ability to imagine conversations. #indiedev #gamedev #dialogtree

The Key Keeper just wants to move on, but he has all these challenges that need to be beat. You know how it is. Let's send the Knight on a quick race around the Underworld. #indiedev #gamedev #ragdoll #minigame #steam

The bounciness of this brings me so much joy.

Casual, precise, effective. No notes. #indiedev #gamedev #animation #character

Where do you go when you die? Well you go straight to Inabelle of course! Its a beautiful place filled with spirits that are figuring some things out before they take bodies for another spin. Maybe the Knight will find someone he's looking for down here? #indiedev #gamedev #spooky #halloween

No fantasy game is complete without a skilled blacksmith. One that is capable of forging weapons powerful enough to rival gods. In Handsome and Brave, that character is a horse named Toffee. Look at his goggles! Aren't they adorable! Also horse legs don't make sense. #indiedev #gamedev #horse

Last but not least, we have Lula. Lula (She/Her) is a tiny little fairy warlock. She's studious and on the look out for important historical texts. She'll be played by Julie (She/Her), follow her on twitch at www.twitch.tv/justbearsy Art again is by @sketchgoblin.bsky.social

In honor of the start of Halloween season, I present my queen of the underworld, Inabelle! Fun fact: Her body makes up the very fabric of her domain! That's pretty neat! #indiedev #gamedev #halloween

Oh dang! I'm going to be playing a short handsome guy. As a short handsome guy this may be my biggest role yet!

Next, meet Bella! Bella (She/Her) is a half-elf bard who loves ALL the gossip. They're on Triptok posting videos and sharing all the goss. She'll be played by Bella (She/They), find them at @notbel.la Art by the fantastic @sketchgoblin.bsky.social

First up, meet Aloyd "Growing Darkness" Wentz! Aloyd (He/Him) is a 16 year old kid who aspires to be an evil supervillain! He's a gnome artificer. He'll be played by Courtney (She/Her), find her at @sakimcgee.bsky.social! Art is by the fantastic @sketchgoblin.bsky.social

Happy Friday! Which is a great time to remind everyone about the Dungeons & Dragons game I'll be hosting on October 4th! Not only that, we'll be using @crowdcontrol.live, where you'll be able to do all sorts of terrible (or nice!!!) things to the players! www.twitch.tv/the7ark #crowdcontrol #dnd

Check it out, my little Knight can catch on fire. But the best thing about fire is sharing it with others! #gamedev #indiedev #mechanics

I'm excited to announce a D&D one-shot that I'll be running on OCTOBER 4TH! Not only that, it will be run with @crowdcontrol.live! Level players up and down, give or take their items, spawn monsters, npcs, help or hurt the party! All in a world made by chat using CC. #dnd #twitch #livestream

Sometimes bugs are hard to fix, other times the solution is obvious. #gamedev #indiedev #bugtofeature #bugfixing

Dungeon is nearly done! It's got all the things dungeons typically have. Puzzles, spikes, keys, and people in cells that are super grateful that you are lending a helping hand! Also look at that new smoke. It's 5x smokier than before and 2x more purple. #indiedev #gamedev #handsomeandbrave #unity3d

Working on some boss fight mechanics as well today. I'm thinking the dragon could do with less arms. Just needs some sounds and particles for the ripping and we're having fun. #indiedev #gamedev #unity #dragons #justalilguy #doinghisbest #ripandtear #love

I did it. I put that lazer on a dragon. #gamedev #indiedev #lazers #dragons

So today I made a lazer. It's green and it pushes things. I like my lazer. I think maybe a dragon will shoot it. I don't know we'll see. #indiedev #gamedev #lazer #laser #slayzer #lazarus

More minigames! A lot of my game is about trying to solve puzzles or maybe quickly help out a villager in need, so I wanted something that slowed things down and tapped into the player's creative side. #indiedev #gamedev #minigames #handsomeandbrave

Another fun mechanic inspired by the electricity system from #BreathOfTheWild! Uses simple pathfinding to send current from a source node to create power connections. I think the Knight is about to become a medieval electrician's apprentice. #indiedev #gamedev #unity #handsomeandbrave

I think that variety is super important in an adventure game. So in addition to solving puzzles and Knight specific problems you can also take some time to help the baker make his quota. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #handsomeandbrave #adventuregame #narrative

I just can't stop myself from making random stuff. Who knows if this will be anything, but I've been having fun setting it up. #indiedev #gamedev

What to do with those old coffee bags... Oh, I know, burn them for cash! #indiedev #gamedev

A belated #PortfolioDay ! We have some octopus gameplay 3d animations created with Motionbuilder for Unity along with the 2 werewolves fighting in the cinematic. Also some character 2D #animation for Handsome & Brave by @redpawcreative.bsky.social Finally, a silly Bob's Burgers animation. Cheers

This is how plants grow, right? #gamedev #gameart #indiedev #handsomeandbrave #botany

🎬 Here's the trailer for our newly announced Golden Idol-like, City of Voices! 🎬 (TURN ON SOUND) 🔃 RTs greatly appreciated! Art and music by @mattfrith.bsky.social and @palkidmusic.bsky.social, respectively. ⭐ Wishlist on Steam now: store.steampowered.com/app/3342470/...

Rest and relaxation are important parts of being a hero in Handsome and Brave. Which is why it's important for the Knight to hit the bed... often. #indiedev #gamedev #bouncepads #unity #unity3d #adventure #puzzles

A real "you versus the guy she told you not to worry about" moment. Thank you www.instagram.com/cynemical for making something so awesome from something so little. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart #narrativegame #indiegame

Had to start pack number 5, so anyone from here on is being added to pack 5 go.bsky.app/SBG6VaU

Whenever I start making a new level, I always start on paper, which is great! But also, I forget what I was drawing, my notes are wild unrelated tangents, or the level is just bad, oops. Wondering what other people do? #indiedev #gamedev #unity #narrative #leveldesign #gamedesign #design

Trying to capture that feeling of meeting someone you can trust and going full mask off about the stuff you are into. #narrativegame #indiedev #storytelling #maskoff #gamedev #unity

I manage gamestate with reference/field pairs. They start as ScriptableObjects with default values but at runtime I create instances that can be saved and loaded. I can use the ScriptableObjects to construct conditions/events throughout. #gamedev #unity #indiedev #narrativegame

Experimenting with some fun puzzles where spikes are friendly in Handsome and Brave. #gamedev #indiedev #puzzles #ragdollgame

Working on some pretty spaces and some silly spaces.
