Remember that story about two people wanting the same baby, and someone goes: We should cut the baby in half, as a middle-ground solution?

📣 Quick Announcement We pushed a new update for our prototype #indiegame, Endless You, for people to try out. It's got cuteness and horror in perfect balance. If that sounds like your thing, solve some #puzzles by dying: aurorastorialis.itch.io/endless-you-early

Seems people are unfairly writing off Metroid Prime 4 due to the companions. That being said, many enjoy Metroid for it's atmosphere, and chatter works against that. Our studio looks to evoke that atmosphere in Endless You. You can play an early build: aurorastorialis.itch.io/endless-you-early

So they added a yapping, comic relief sidekick to #Metroid Prime 4, to tell you what things you missed and how to open doors. People value Metroid for its atmosphere of solitude in an alien environment, and this inclusion goes against that. www.youtube.com/watch?v=192P...

Here's a still of the backgrounds for a level in our #indiegame. Each color is on a different layer, moving at a different rate. We call this: Parallax Scrolling, and it creates a sense of visual depth in the level. #background #gamedev

We're putting together visual assets for our upcoming #indiegame where you solve puzzles with the help of your own dead bodies. Here are two early passes at a visual title for Endless You. We chose a retro futuristic font to match the hologram tablet that our main character uses. #retrofuture

🐿️ Video Game Lore Streaming now: Writing #lore for our upcoming #indiegame, Endless You. We will be drafting up this little guy's inner monologue for the vibe check areas between level sets. Come say hi! www.twitch.tv/queen_an

Here's #conceptart for our upcoming #indiegame, Endless You! It's a view of the abandoned factories from the Ceyaquinn Village, our main character's home! They find safety high up in the trees. Concept done by: @thesignpainty.bsky.social

Remember WarioLand? This offbeat platformer had you solving puzzles by giving Wario status ailments. Our upcoming #indiegame Endless You is a darker take on the concept - dying to solve puzzles. Get frozen, set on fire, electrocuted, crushed, vaporized, and so much more! #gamedev #wario

Endless You takes place inside 6 giant factories abandoned long ago by aliens. The machinery has been overtaken by plant life, and broken objects make the spaces quite dangerous. We took inspiration from settings like The Last of Us and Metroid to shape these spaces. #gamedev #indiegame

🎃 Happy Halloween! Endless You is a game that seamlessly combines charming cuteness with existential horror. Our adorable main character, Wik, is able to revive from death, and use their previous body as a platform or weight to solve puzzles. #indiegame #gamedev #existentialhorror

In #gamedesign, knowing what kind of head space you're asking your players to be in is so important, but rarely considered. Some games are best learned passively, while others require active learning. Both are good! But switching between these game styles can be disastrous. Here's how we learned 🧵

How it started ........... How it's going #gamedev #characterdesign

You'd be surprised how well a background in script writing applies to #gamedev. And not just narrative design! Characters in a story have tactics, ways they approach problems. When these tactics fail, they must adapt to overcome the problem. This is a basic building block of stories.(1/2)

🕊️ Level Design Stream Going live with some #gamedev! Making some levels with electrical hazards for our #indiegame Endless You. Come chill out: www.twitch.tv/queen_an

🐿️ Character Design Our main character for Endless You, Wik (they/them), is a squirrel-like alien living in another galaxy. This is their look, from concept art to current art. More details in the alt text! #gamedev #conceptart #indiegame

🐿️ Endless You Our #Indiegame may be 2D, but it has the depth of 3D light through an awesome feature in #godot. By combining different maps of a sprite, you can define how the light shines off of it. 1) In game result 2) visual texture 3) normal map 4) specular map More detail in the alt texts!

🐿️ Endless You 🐿️ We've been doing some #gamedev lighting tests for our upcoming #indiegame , and are loving the results! The light reflecting off the broken glass is looking spicy!
