a heartrate sensor that's connected to a large UI element onscreen that shows your real-life heartrate over an animated image of a pulsating realistic human heart that becomes redder and pulses faster when your heartrate is higher and gets blacker and pulses slower when your heartrate is low.

Here's an old Louny Balloony clip featuring some parallax backgrounds, the special attack chain attacking some balloons, and some waterspout mechanics -- a real triple threat. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Started toying with a concept for a pinball board. Testing out some basic board collision. #gamedev #indiedev

Finally got some proper coupe glasses today and can finally make some respectable manhattans

Here's an EMBARASSING clip of me getting spooked from playing my own horror game on stream last night. #gamedev #indiedev

As one last hurrah for the Halloween season, I'll be streaming a full playthrough of the demo of my little jumpscare game Hidden Dinosaur this Sunday! Feel free to try out the demo on Steam! You essentially navigate through a series of mazes with alerting the hidden dinosaur! #gamedev #indiedev

Comparison of the old and new character animations in the Level 1 to 2 transition of Louny Balloony. Had the old one set for a few months before I decided to make it more dynamic. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Solving the pipe puzzle for epic treasures in Louny Balloony #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Testing out special balloons that provide extra lift. Having enough of them at once allows you to float without needing to flap your feathers! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

A little mini-trailer for Louny I made a while ago featuring the then new tutorial section as well as a few gameplay enhancements. Louny Balloony is a high-flying platformer game currently in development! The first 2 levels are available for demo on Steam! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Just a little WIP of a UI menu featuring the ability to select from a list of bonus levels #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Very subtle vertical parallax thing I did for the last tutorial stage of Louny. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Really early development stuff on level 3 of Louny. The background was completed early on to use in the title screen, but I've been working on the background track on and off during my free time #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Louny Balloony, the Vtubee?! Yes! I've been working on setting up a vtuber model of the title character of Louny Balloony, an actual game I made that you can try out on Steam! I'm looking forward to testing this out live tonight on my Twitch channel at around 7-8PST.

***Volume Warning!*** Here are some of the more animated jumpscares in my weird retro horror game Hidden Dinosaur! Find them all in the current demo on Steam! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

And now for a screen you don't want to see in Louny Balloony - the game over screen! Just a stark, colorless, blank thing with a stupid riff of the main theme that lets you know that you totally screwed up! #gamedev #indiedev

Another clip featuring Louny's special attack! I think this one is from when I just updated the design of the foreground buildings in the demo. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Testing out capturing sound with Louny Vtubey #pixelart

You know, Hidden Dinosaur maybe a scary jumpscare game, but even it's not afraid to tell a joke once in a while. #gamedev #indiedev

This clip has apparently the latest version of the flying ship sub-boss in Louny Balloony. I remember one of the last things I added was the little "POP" signifiers over the balloons to clue in the player as to how to defeat this thing. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

My animation process from the cats I did a while ago! 1. Started with 3 distinct frames 2. Inbetween to 7 distinct frames 3. Inbetween again to 13 distinct frames 4. Add shading 5. Final result #pixelart #animation

How do I get rid of this damn dinosaur?! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Did the meme thing! Yep, Louny started life as a game jam game a while ago, and has always been in development in one form or another over the years, with demos currently out on Steam and Itch! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Here's a breakdown of the level 1 background music for Louny Balloony. All the music in Louny (demo on Steam!) is composed using FM synthesis, very similar to what you can hear on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive! #gamedev #indiedev

A helpful map can be quite useful in Hidden Dinosaur, the silly jumpscare game where you navigate a maze to escape a scary little dinosaur! Demo available on Steam today! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday
