Building up the intro level: #gamedev #leveldesign

Added lightning effect to the fireplace #gamedev #spritemancer

It's in--the new fire effect, that is. :] Hmm. Might add some particle effects and a shine later. #gamedev #fire #lettherebefire

Finally working on the fire place animation. #gamedev #spritemancer #pixelart

Fixed up the camera (finally) so that it doesn't shift out of the level. Added more decorative assets to fill up the cottage #gamedev #pixelart

Worked on more artwork. Slowly but surely #gamedev #pixelart

Cottage assets slowly coming together. Welp. Time to play some more Hollow Knight... #gamedev #pixelart #cottages

Now, working on the fireplace #gamedev #pixelart

Working on the background textures. #gamedev #pixelart #textures

Behold! A dresser! -sigh- Not a fan with how it turned out, but I'm not trying to spend the whole week on a single piece of furniture when I'm gonna need more. Good enough for now #gamedev #pixelart #furniture

Trying to get back on the "work on something every night" grind. Still trying to figure out how to draw a half decent dresser #gamedev #pixelart #whyisdrawingsohard

It's been WAAAY too long since the last video. Spent too much time on the resting / waking animations (and I still feel the urge to go back). For now, moving on to the artwork for the introduction level. The cat shall start in a stone/wooden cabin. Still working on the textures #gamedev #pixelart

Back to working on animations for the next stage of development #gamedev #cats #sleepwell #myfriends

Options accessible from the main game. Can't easily show this, but added the saving of the options so they persist after closing the game #gamedev

Now we can interact with the options menu! Woo! They still don't do anything beyond that, but hey, progress has been made #gamedev #options #idkwhattagtoputhere

Options menu integrated! Time to make it interactive #gamedev #options

Got the options menu layout. Just gotta work on integrating it into the game #gamedev #gum #pixelart

Ehh. Not much to show, but I'm working on the options menu lol. Imagine there being sliders and selectable options to the right of the buttons. Options menu is gonna leverage some of the visuals of the main menu, so there's gonna be swaying bushes in the background. #gamedev #options

Our new 2D Shader Tutorial is nearly ready. Watch this short to find out what sort of things you'll learn, to enhance your game - www.youtube.com/shorts/OHNz-...

Hopefully the last transition clip for a while. Got transitions from Title Screen to Game and vice versa, and then also added transition to Game Exit. #gamedev #pixelart #monogame

Added the transition into the actual game! Well, right now, only the test level is implemented. More to come later! #gamedev #pixelart #start

See how I calculate water depth for my island game 🌴 – you might be surprised by how it actually works! 😅 (Turn on Sound 🔊) #monogame #gamedev #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=FPKB...

lol Added the closing transition. Gonna be working on transitioning into the game next, and then start working on the options menu #gamedev #menu #transitions

Got the opening part of the transition in. Will test the closing part tomorrow. #gamedev #pixelart #transitions

It is done! Well, the animation at least. Time to integrate it into the game... #gamedev #animation #transition

Still working on the screen transition. Gonna try and finish at least drawing up the frames tomorrow #gamedev #branches #pixelart

Okay, we back. Now that Silksong is done, it is time to return to the daily grind of getting something done everyday. Behold, the beginnings of Duo Playground's screen transition. #gamedev #animation #pixelart

Don’t normally post content unrelated to gamedev, but I’m happy announce just finished act 3 of my favorite game of the year! (Apologize for terrible screenshot) #silksong #hollowknight

Still playing Silksong lol. 60 hours deep, and I'm just midway through Act 3. Oh, and I managed to FINALLY get the shaders in for the title menu's layers #monogame #gamedev #pixelart

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures. This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech! www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

pssst..... hey... the Soda-Powered Penguin SAGE '25 demo is out now! the entire demo has been brought to a new visual standard thanks to @magipixel.bsky.social !! #indiedev #gamedev

Progress been a tad slow as of late (damn you Silksong and PoE2). But, got the basic structure of the title menu. Still gotta add all the effects and whatnot #pixelart #titles #gamedev

Finally got the first draft of the title image. It's composed of multiple layers. The rough plan is to apply separate shaders for the bushes and the tree roots #gamedev #pixelart #duoplayground

Just worked on more "prop" tiles (i.e. bushes, rocks, decorative stuff to fill levels) and the title banner for the game. (Don't think I've ever posted without either a video or picture, but keeping with the goal of posting something everyday lol) #gamedev #art

Chinese artist Leng Jun,I have never seen anything like it. Extraordinary!!!

Working on art. Had a bit of a... drawing block(?) while working on the title. So, decided to work on some of the other props first and then I'll integrate some of them into the title art #gamedex #pixelart #bushes

Okay. Last clip on the main menu. Integrated mercury particle system from MGE. Now there's pine tree leaves blowing across the screen! Time to work on title menu next #gamedev #pixelart #particles

Added scaled up, selected buttons. Gonna start working on integrating the particle system for some wind effects next #gamedev #menus #bushes

Added glow effect when selecting each menu button. Gonna try and work making the selected button slightly larger next. #gamedev #pixelart #shaders

Now we're starting to cook. thebookofshaders.com came in clutch. Can't believe I never took the time to read through it until now lol #gamedev #shaders #perliniscool

Does not look like much, but FINALLY managed to get a hang of writing virtex shaders in monogame lol. Eventually, this will evolve into hopefully bushes being blown around by wind #monogame #shaders #gamedev

Welp. This is the new main menu so far. Gonna add more details to the bushes and some subtle effects later #gamedev #pixelart #mainmenu

Working on the new main menu. Really leaning into the "forest" them of the game. Here's what the menu buttons will look. #gamedev #pixelart #forest

Meet Uni’s new coworker! :3

Added the text. Still needs some work though. Gotta clean up the font just a tad, and the ticking of the clock isn't in sync with the text yet. #gamedev #pixelart #ui

Added the icons to the UI. Both the pinecone and the clock can be animated while the sign's moving! In fact, the clock ticks, even as the sign is nudged. Gonna add the numbers next. #gamedev #pixelart #ui

First time making a building in pixel art. It was TOUGH. Much harder than my silly little characters, but I’m super happy with the result! #pixelart #gamedev

Working on adding all the interactions with the UI currently. #gamedev #pixelart #ui

Got the coloring in. Time to work on the integrating the UI into the game! #gamedev #pixelart #itsasign

Added more of the in between frames. Gonna try work on the coloring tomorrow #gamedev #pixelart #lineart
