Should probably finally beat Hollow Knight, huh

Hey I made a thing! After a big long break from doing the GMTK Game Jam I decided to give it another go. Here's Orblit, a little game about flinging planets into orbit and making pretty sounds! heartoflines.itch.io/orblit

AI is not a "neutral tool" that needs to be wielded by The Good Guys. there's no reforming a system to accumulate and centralize power. the totalizing aggregation of power means that anyone it touches gets crushed instantly. that is AI, inescapably.

She just climbs on top of me now. Doesn't even ask.

The protesters have turned on the Waymos

Made the mistake of reading the comments. Absolutely wild that there are people who can read all this and go "no dude, it definitely is capable of lying to you on purpose and also thinking"

Ok I really need to stop, but here's a very quick Emmy, Laura and Trickster. I feel like Emmy would probably be butch if she had fewer brainworms.

So I binged @tpwrtrmnky.bsky.social's brilliant RCBG over the weekend and now I'm obsessed, so I had to draw Katherine and Nichole. I would do anything for them but also they are so fucking stupid

Probably could have posted this video first lmao #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul #unity

Fuck it, reverse crossbow #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul #unity

Finally figuring out cutscenes #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul #unity

As a trans woman who used to want to work in ML while closeted... I don't love this.

I have been trying to start playing Destiny 2 and it has been the weirdest glitchiest start to a video game I have ever seen. Open the game, get a cinematic, great, cool. Did the tutorial bit in old Russia, had to restart the game at one point and I get a different cinematic about something

Didn't realize how much level you had to make per level. Turns out one level can fit a lot of level. #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul

Truly a bonkers framing. Many things are useful and are not worth the cost, be it environmental, ethical etc. Simple utility cannot be the only basis upon which we choose what and what not to do. Private jets are useful, slaves, sweatshops, fracking so many abhorrent things are technically "useful"

Also I think this might be my favourite attack animation I've made. It's got more personality than I can usually manage and it plays well in game too. #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul

Been testing some encounter compositions with a new enemy and wow these guys really make you feel like you're fighting for you life. Took me like 6 tries to get this clip of me actually winning. #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul

Threw together a new enemy. He's sort of like if a chicken had a ballista for a body. And also did area denial. #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul

I've spent the past week on less flashy behind the scenes stuff, the benefit of which is that now I can actually have a big seamless interconnected world. So apropos of that I finally implemented a map! #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul

I'm having a good and normal time getting my save system to work with additive scene loading.

First boss fight! Is it fun? No. Is it challenging? Also no. But it exists now, and existing is a pretty important step in eventually being good. #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul

One nice thing about working by yourself is your "concept art" really only needs to make sense to you. #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul

Pro tip for 3D games: Rig your characters early in the process. You don't actually need to fully model and texture everything first. Seeing the character move can help you identify problem areas in the model/design, which can always be swapped out later in engine. #gamedev #indiegame #nullsoul

Hi Bluesky, I'm making a top down Metroidvania called NULL_SOUL, inspired by Hyper Light Drifter and Tunic (and Dark Souls, wouldn't you know it). If that's your jam, follow me here to get development updates and see the game take shape.
