"break on value change" is such a massive timesaver sometimes for weird bugs

Day 7 - A chocobo This one took me a little longer. I got a little too ambitious with the pencil work, hah. I always liked the big Final Fantasy birds! #pencil #art #finalfantasy #chocobo

When i was a feeble, STUPID babby, I thought the pokemon "Koffing" was named "Coffee" and I thought the sludge he coughed up was in fact, Coffee.

Oh yea I should advertise our game a bit probably The Frontlines Update is coming to GRUEL on January 15th #gamedev #indiedev #FPS #GameMaker Game: store.steampowered.com/app/2882930/...

why did i look up how to make mods for silksong i shouldn't have been given this power www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6lB...

Olá amigos Gamedev. ✨🌱 Estou a procura de novos trabalhos após minhas férias! Então se você está precisando de uma pixel artista para: - Jogos Retro. - Jogos de NES. - Jogos de Gameboy. Eu sou a pessoa certa para você! #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev

this is the face of a man who made a game that's on sale and wants you to play it! 🐿️🐿️🐿️ store.steampowered.com/app/1921550/... 🐿️🐿️🐿️ #indiegames #chicodx

Okay I think this is probably the final iteration looks-wise, at least for the basic procedural animations

it bugs me that you're not allowed to mix designated and implicit initializers for named members _in different scopes_, like this in C 🤔 you ARE allowed to do it _specifically_ for array members, so somebody thought about this.

Day 3 - It's Pikachu! I've always liked the fat Pikachu more in Pokemon... It's cool that they animated him that way for the 30th anniversary! How about you? What's your favorite? #pokemon #pikachu #art #coloredpencil

Super Dangerous Dungeons is -65% off in Steam Winter Sale! store.steampowered.com/app/856540/S... Guide Timmy the little treasure hunter through trap and puzzle filled dungeons and outrun the ferocious dungeon guardians! Can you reach the legendary treasure? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #ドット絵

🎉🎨2025 Art Summary🎨🎉 I drew *a lot* of fanart; mostly ALTTP but also Digimon, Shovel Knight, Bomberman, Majora's Mask, Pokémon, and Super Mario RPG

Day 2 - A little red #Pikmin. I think I stole this idea, but I can't remember from who! I tried colored pencil on this one. What do you think? I'm not so sure about it. For me, the first Pikmin game left a big impact as a kid. The 30 day time limit gave me a lot of stress! #art #fanart #nintendo

I'm glad I'm making my game to run on anything (no GPU required at all), since it doesn't appear anyone is going to be able to afford gaming computers any more.

2025 has been a wild year! I tried to make a concise "dev year in review" and it's kind of a mess as you can see. '^^ we've been adjusting to massive income loss, figuring out how to freelance the skills we're best at, and doing a bunch behind the scenes

Artist: Erin Hanson

I know this isn't what y'all follow me for, but I did an animated short because I hadn't animated in years and I missed it. The character is "jdog" and both he and the audio belong to a friend :> Loud sound warning ❤️

🦆 Introducing Honk Havoc, a precision jumper where every leap counts. ⚡ Master tight timing as a cursed cartoon duck bouncing nonstop through chaotic levels full of traps. wishlist on steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3367640/... #GameDev #IndieGame #HonkHavoc #PixelArt #Platformer #IndieDev

The closest thing to Flash I can find these days is ToonSquid, which is iPad only :') Rats.

Trying to use Pencil 2D and like... I really WANT to like this because drawing in it feels GREAT, but the audio scrubbing is really inconsistent for me. ;^; Among other things like graphical bugs and undo not working how one expects... Ehhhh

"Celestial Tango" ✨🌙🌠 #Kirby

Currently it looks like I'll have some unclaimed work time in Q1 2026. If anyone wants to snatch that up for help on their indie game, email me or something. I'm good at fixing performance issues, load times, gamefeel, writing debug tools, and more.

[ COMM FULFILLED ] a friendly reliquary to keep all your little freaks in! commission for @malvexisgames.bsky.social's Eldritch Tactics - and one of largest single pixel art assets I've made to date!

I can get more done in a week that's supposed to be vacation than I can in a week that's supposed to be work >.>

Jubilee ✅ Great precision platformer with an interconnected world. Gameplay is very simple (only one button outside of D-pad), the game relatively short, but the level-design and game-design are perfect. It's challenging but fair and never frustrating. A true hidden gem! 9/10!

I hope everyone has good year end holidays. As we go into a shaky period with the arts in flux and a lot of people are suffering, please never forget the power of your mind, and the joy of engaging in meaningful process. Every day you have the most powerful machine in existence inside your own head.

don't cut that bush, that's where i keep my skele-ahhh look what you did ;^;

I regret to inform you that my new year's resolution is to use even more designated initializers

What's the fancy game design term for the thing where one or more characters yap in your ear over comms constantly for the entire game? For some games it works well? But for others it feels like a really flimsy bandaid over a problem or actively ruins an otherwise interesting environment for me =[

been messing around making rooms with this today

I know I posted this cleaned image before but I just re-cleaned it from my own scans. More editing than it looks. Anyway, worth it, because it's incredibly epic. #Zelda Link to the Past, Junichiro Saito, Shogaku Ichinensei Magazine, Sept. 1992

Last 12 hours in the Angeline Era launch sale - Thank you to so many for bumpslashing and searching over the last two weeks!!! The reception has been amazing and we look forward to making many more games!! store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...

I've been working on a game pitch and story dear to me, "ENGINE ANGEL", with the team at Ivy Road! We're still seeking funding, but in the meantime I wanted everyone to still be able to share the work they've done. I'll be sharing more as well as reposting any of the team's posts so stay tuned!

Nothing to see here, just LeBron James talking about my pixelart for Space Jam #pixelart #gamedev

a quick "speed paint" of a room background in Wizwag's custom editor -- that is, walking the undo history bc i didn't record the actual painting

From tonight's stream: cliffs, rocks, bouders, stairs and some more! Tomorrow night, 9:30PM CEST I will be spriting Mega Froslass, then probably start making some more houses, then begin working on a beach for this GBC World Starting Town! #pixelart

I'm not sure what to call it but: My time writing gameplay code has been much more efficiently spent since I changed my mindset from "let's make that a helper function and call it in 50 places" to "let's do this operation in ONE place as part of a flat pipeline"

I was just thinking I needed another project and then the CRT distribution system delivered! Thank you to whatever fool irresponsibly disposed of this absolute unit of a 16:9 HDMI CRT. time to get it dialed in

Love to see Of Floating Isles by Kawika Guillermo featured at my local bookstore! Melos and I had the pleasure of blurbing:

I keep toying with the idea of streaming Wizwag game dev, but I'm not sure how best to handle it: I work best when I'm not juggling my attention, and I also don't want to spoil everything about the game. Maybe I can bucket some tasks that aren't spoiler-y and require less focus...

Angeline Era is a love letter to one of my favorite games: "WALKING", for the console "OUTSIDE"! AE's world mirrors the real world: Confounding, Mystifying... AE's also a Site of Reversible Destiny-like.Visiting in the rain was huge for the action design: melodicambient.substack.com/p/exploring-...

My humble birthday girl requests: play Angeline Era, tell a friend, blog about it, or write a review!! In addition to art, did you know I was story lead? Angeline Era embodies so much of what I've chased over the past few years, from wildflowers to parties to Apocrypha to ancestry.

every mandate for internet surveillance and censorship will work exactly like this

angeline era is fun

I featured the demo for Angeline Era in a video about 1.5 years ago (it had the 1 fish, 2 fish... 32 fish boss), but the full game just released and I'm really enjoying it so far. Rare that I play a game as delightfully playful and tightly designed as this. store.steampowered.com/app/2393920/...
