The Weave now has three distinct Animal Crossing-style voices that smoothly adapt to both Spanish and English text. What do you think? Thanks @zxprojects.bsky.social for your tips 😉 #IndieGameDev #MegaDriveDev #RetroGaming #GameDev #Homebrew

I’m progressing on text presentation: each character now has its own “voice,” with gibberish in the style of Animal Crossing or Sims. Voices are pregenerated using Google Text to Speech and preprocessed into short syllables that play synced with the on-screen text (work in progress)

I'm alive! After the last public beta I took a break… and made the mistake of buying Baldur’s Gate 3. But I’m finally back! Today’s update adds a small text flash effect (you can speed it up by pressing A)

🎉 Characters can now move at fractional speeds! The hero walks at 1.5x speed, and the mother at 0.75x. Sounds trivial, right? Well, I had to rewrite ALL the movement code to use non-integer types. It nearly killed me 😵‍💫

Waiting for the Retro Gamer magazine Issue 272 to come home 🥰 It's been a long way since the first time my name was in a Magazine, in Micro Hobby Issue 166 in 1985, four decades ago

I haven't forgotten about you! The next version of the tech demo will be an almost complete overhaul of the entire visual aspect, with new graphics and lots of new animations. Please be patient! 😉

Testing animations for the Weavers Ghosts

There’s little time left until issue #005 of @brewotaku.bsky.social is released, where my small BASIC project for the ZX Spectrum, ZXD, will have its own little space. Many thanks for the review! 😉

First test of the new hand-pixeled graphics for the introduction scene, now running on the game engine

Finally back to pixel art after two tough weeks since I installed Civilization VII and ran out of free time. It's about time to replace the remaining AI placeholders.

✅ Now our forest also has both background and foreground items

First game test with all new graphics (still WIP) ❌NO stolen assets ❌NO AI graphics ✅Hand drawn and animated

So... let's draw some backgrounds

✅ Xander also redrawn Now every main character has new design and animations

More characters and animations on the go I'm starting to enjoy doing this 😊

Testing more characters and animations. What do you think of our new characters' style? Also, there's now a subtle magic animation over your chosen option in dialogs

Testing character animation techniques in Aseprite. I think it's about time our characters had decent animations 😊
