Ever since I started working on #twilightobscura I have been hugely inspired by @yachtclubgames.bsky.social Mina the Hollower looks amazing and I am extremely excited for it to release. Godspeed to the team working on it #pixelart #indiedev #retrogame

Made a video on VFX in Godot 🔥✨ youtu.be/htRjt505sPg

Implemented really easily. Now what could on the other side of the door? #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

Very very very busy fixing bugs and preparing everything for a last pre-release demo! So I'm sharing actual screenshots for #screenshotsaturday now featuring all three borders that can be used on the non-gameboy versions of the game #gamedev #indiedev #gbstudio #gameboy

After too long of a break, I have lost a lot of mental progress in development. So I decided to start from scratch and relearn things in a step by step way. 1st. I added the character movement (states/components). 2. A new dungeon Tileset. (1/3) #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

Good morning, it's 2026. You're legally obligated to try our little action-adventure 👀 #indiegame

Command seasons to manipulate the layout and water flow in Isle of Reveries's 4th dungeon 🦉☃️ Late Pledges are available if you want to pick up the game + the physical or digital GameBoy-style manual, which is exclusive to Kickstarter backers! Links ⬇️ #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Hello #PitchYaGame! "May and the Amazing Bouquet" is an upcoming cozy, top-down action-adventure in the style of retro handheld games! Help May collect the Eight Prized Flowers on her island home, as she encounters new people and places along the way! Wishlist: steampowered.com/app/3734760/

Mock up of the inventory screen. Would appreciate some feedback and questions. The idea is that this will slide up when you hit tab. You'll be able to select your items here, and assign them to a loadout. Also a nice description box and map. #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

#Commissions anyone? Just making sure I can stay housed and fed... (Alternatively you can buy my games and albums or donate, links in bio) #PixelArt #AnimeArt #Chiptunes

The two dreaded coding hurdles are semi complete. Save/Load and Dialogue. Both, not as bad as I thought. Using Dialogue Manager which is pretty easy to understand, but I sorta dislike not really knowing what all the bits do. #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

House interior set nearing completion. Also UI mock-up. The idea is the player can set "loadouts" of magical items in groups of 3's and cycle through them with Q/E. That way you can have one for ranged, melee, and utility for example. Thoughts? #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

Some sprites I made as I hone in on the style I like. Also working on some melee attacks for early game, but those aren't ready yet. #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

Mage Recall is free now on itch. 1 - 2 hour #gameboy styled adventure inspired by the likes of Golden Sun Play Vrin, a mage down on her luck as she recovers her magic spells while helping folks in a town on the brink of rebellion. #godotengine #gamedev #pixelart nion-ne.itch.io/mage-recall

Halloween! #pixelart #indiedev #halloween #spooky #lasagnaissometimestoomuch

New Trees. Also some mock-up of the new enemies. Decided to reduce color count in them to make it more retro feeling. Returning to coding in more features next week. My goal was to have a small "demo" of sorts by the end of November. (1/2) #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

Some new enemies to add into the game. Want to try my best to not do too many reskins of the same enemy and have them all serve a purpose. Summoner, Hexxer, Burrower, and a classic simple side to side enemy/obstacle. #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

In Witches and Butchers, there are some more experimental enemy types such as these ghosts who have the ability of altering the scroll speed of the dungeon, and other effects that will be added in the future. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gbstudio #gameboy

The ancient magical printer isn't working or something.. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Here it is! The reworked sprites. Feedback welcome. More Below! #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

In my to-do-list I have several instances of "revision" throughout. Which means I go back and revise code, art, or design. This time I went back to the art style as a whole. While I am happy w/ the palette, the sprite designs themselves missed the mark just a smidge. (1/2) #gamedev #pixelart #godot

Really productive day. Finished reworking everything to states/components. Added ability, as well as interactions such has death and animations. Excited to have figured out a simple way for idle enemies to detect the player when attacked from distance. #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

My new open world precision "batformer" Vampire's Best Friend is out now on Steam and itch with a 10% launch discount! Vampire hunters are after a mischievous vampire girl, and it's up to her pet bat to save the day!

Those armored ducks can be a pain in the butt sometimes! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gameboy #gbstudio #retrogaming #homebrew #shmup

Implemented simple state machines for player and the Blood Drop so I could pull off cooldowns and hurt animations. Feels a lot smoother. If anyone who is new to godot or gamedev is curious about it or other things like scene transitions. Let me know. #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

Small progress report. New cliff tileset. Enemy chase ai. Health indicator. Scene transition. New sprites in general. Happy with the progress. Up next. Combat and Death. Let me know what you think. #pixelart #gamedev #godot #zeldalike #indiedev

Learned a hard lesson today. Starting at colors and pixels for hours you begin to dull things in your mind. I made the mistake of compensating over and over but tweaking values. (1/2) #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev

Please, he really needs the flowers from the cave in the north. Very video game dialogue #godot #gamedev #pixelart

ok so the downside is it's pissing down outside and my flat now has multiple leaks but the upside is I made it rain in my game too so I guess that's a win?

Wow! Next up. An enemy to fight. A classic slime with a bloody twist. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Looking to work on some room scene transitions. If anyone has a favorite method or any advice I would appreciate it. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Now in color! Really happy with how all the sprites look in their new color palette. I've always wanted to make one that felt very pastel but still sharp. I think working in 2bit helped me get some important silhouette, but I am very happy with how this turned out. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Working on cave interior set. In the process of learning map transitions in godot, so I need a place too go. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #cave #godot

Although uniforms are not required.. they are bewitched to clean themselves every Friday night. Except in March, where they clean themselves on Saturday night. No one knows why. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #magic #godot

Now that I think about it, There are few GBC games with a cooking/crafting system, now I get why, had to add a "Loading" sequence when displaying recipe ingredients otherwise the gameboy couldnt keep with it . #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturaday #gbstudio #gameboy

#swordtember day 3! (i didnt feel like doin day 2)

Sprite redesign with a darker look. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #horror #godot

Investigative Journalism takes you to weird places sometimes. #pixelart #gamedev #godot #indiedev #horror

Some pieces I've been working on. House inspired by Brandon James Greer Other work inspired by zelda #pixelart #indiedev #zeldalike

What would you do? #pixelart #indiegame #golem #godot #gamedev

Some creatures and Items. #pixelart #indiegame #godot

Spirits. What else is there to say? Feedback welcomed. #pixelart #indiegame #godot #ghosts

Character Mockup #pixelart #indiegame #ghost

Day 14 of 30 Wizwag enemies in 30 days: Gatagata but red. This one is a bit more aggressive, and can be annoying in a crowd. I may swap palettes between this guy and the blue one, to keep the Z1 color convention, which became somewhat muddied in later games.

Why yes! I am still obsessing over cliffs. Decided to give a shot at a classic diagonal slope version. I think they show more depth and elevation. Would love feedback like always. #pixelart #zeldalike #indiedev #godot

Hey! I created a ko-fi.com/paleghost to share some devlog stuff and behind the scenes. All free, forever. Its all very amateur and new, but hopefully it can inspire anyone who wants to create games and doesn't know where to start. Includes Devlog #1 and a bonus picture of my horrible art workflow.
