My mom has a cat for the first time in 35 years! His name is Kalle Henrik. He was super social after I lured him out of the sauna with treats 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Portrait study #art

*frantically searching my black wacom pen from my black table and crying about my choices in interior design*

The tiniest thing that drives me mad about gamedev is that at work I use console.log, and at hobby project I use Debug.Log and I constantly write the wrong one due to confused muscle memory! Aaagh!

I was supposed to focus on coding this sprint, but I ended up spending a whole week on pixel art UI design and animating this kind of flare 😅 Whoops... (I’m super proud of this one in particular!) #gamedev #indiedev

This is Crystal in Carnations Devlog #22 I've started to post these devlogs also on itch.io and steam. Keeping up with 4 platforms to post on might be quite exhausting though, so we'll see if I need to ease up. a 🧵 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #unity

My spouse is fighting a boss in Silksong and I ask him a question: Spouse: "Sorry, I cannot process your question at this moment. Please leave a message after the sound signal."

The skill effects SHINE ✨ (Bloom intensity will be tweaked) #gamedev #indiedev

Sometimes I feel really bad about having worked on this game for 3 years and only now am I implementing some super basic stuff. Then I remember we switched engines only 3 months ago, so of course a lot has to be made from scratch and maybe I should be a bit less hard on myself

Working on the battle flow now. Of corse still missing a lot of details, but at least something happens now visually. Next I'll implement a death animation, sounds and damage numbers. I also want emission maps for the skills, but that might have to wait a bit. #gamedev #indiedev

This is Crystal in Carnations Devlog #21 It's been quite a stressful sprint. I managed to hire a renovation company straight from hell to paint our walls. I'm honestly surprised how much I personally got done despite dealing with that! A very art-heavy 🧵™ #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #indiegame

I've got three packages that were all delivered to different locations, because there isn't always space in the main post locker. Big sigh.

Barnabas is a comic relief character and probably my favorite. he's a man misplaced in time. He's an excellent mercenary, but he would absolutely THRIVE in today's workplace culture. He speaks like he's from medieval LinkedIn. He is a true menace and I love him.

I commissioned @ormurinn.bsky.social for a second piece of keyart for my game! When there are two protagonists, it's not fair if only one of them has a fancy key art, and my, did Ormurinn do her justice! ❤️ #art #gameart #commission

Countess Felicite comes to mind (No, I cannot stop tweaking her design) As the countess of Rieux, she's easily one of the richest characters we have and her life is pretty much non stop balls and politics = eats well, no boredom. Though I would probabaly wind up getting assassinated in her shoes.

My friend takes all best photos of my boys. I don't even need to try.

This is Crystal in Carnations Devlog #20 Another update is here, even as the sweet siren call of Hades 2 calls my name. 🧵about cutscene objects, moustaches and the eternal rat race that is UI design #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #tactics

I find it very funny Hades 2 is launching on bissexual week

Recently my spouse has been working on a game project of his own. It makes me really happy to see him express himself in a way we can bond over, but there are some unexpected problems regarding this development (heh)

I'm delegating some of my pixel art tasks to other team members, so I created this base sheet they can draw the characters on top of

I decided I could use more concrete base knowledge on game architechture, so naturally I went and searched what books I could read regarding the topic. I bought this one since it was recommended by literally every top result.

This is Crystal in Carnations Devlog #19 Another two weeks have passed and so has our development sprint! 🧵 about family portraits, pixel art and somehow... soda! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #tactics

The moment when one of your biggest art crushes follows you back 😳😳😳

Chiitan loves all transgender people. I've received a lot of criticism for expressing my support, but what's more important is that all transgender people live happy lives. Blue Sky cannot display long posts, so please read this post if you'd like. love you all 🤍 ↓ www.instagram.com/reel/C9qppva...

I'm kinda balancing on the edge here. This will definitely be the last game where I do both most of the art and all of the programming. Next game I will find a coding partner so I can mostly focus on art

hope youre ready in 2026

I skipped Engage because of miss Toothpaste. The next Fire Emblem looks more like my cup of tea again

Late night sketching

My dream is for there to be vicious flame wars online over which of the six endings in my game is "the correct one"

Trying out different concepts for the UI again, because I'm again growing tired of the old text boxes. Also choosing fonts is such a pain. Spare me from the fonts! Quite happy with the stone look, but will probably refine it later.

Kindly requesting artists to host their portfolio somewhere besides instagram because the app is incredibly hostile for anyone who isn't signed in or doesn't have an account 😥🙏

I've also gotten reviews back to back where the first one is "This is the most profound thing ever" and the second "This is the biggest piece of horseshit ever" and I'm like: My friends I know for a fact that my game is neither of those things, but I'm happy it made you feel something... I guess?

Close ups (Finally I get to post close ups of something!) #art #gameart #artsky #ocsky

I finished the Belleroses family portrait. I'm so sick of it for having looked at it closer to 50 hours. I'm sure I'll be proud of it later #art #gameart #artsky #ocsky

This is Crystal in Carnations Devlog #18 It has been SUCH a hectic month, but my team is (mostly) back on the saddle and roaring to develop! A significant milestone was reached this sprint, but more about that in the story section: a🧵 #gamede #indiedev #devlog #tactics

#WIP this will easily be the most laborious thing I've painted #art

🧵 Recently there was an article about Silksong and it's development and why it took so long. The key takeaway from the article was that "They were just having so much fun with it" and since they had the opportunity, they wanted to take their time to make the game as good as they could.

A WIP. Since 2 years ago one of my game's writers wished a family portrait that could be viewed in game. I've finally gotten around to making it :) Making this is definitely very inefficient use of my limited game dev resources, considering it's only in 2 scenes, but let me have this! #WIP #ART

This is Crystal in Carnations Devlog #17 I bring you a new devlog. My chair is kinda leathery texture, so sitting on a computer at this heat should net all gamedevs some kind of persistence award Current Steam Wishlists: 18 #indiedev #gamedev #devlog #tactics

I really like my pinned post, but I think I may have to redo it now that the Steam page for CiC is out

You can now wishlist my upcoming game, Crystal in Carnations on Steam! Please do so if anything I make piques your interest ❤️

Ah damnit... My 666 followers turned to 667, before I had time to screenshot. 😅 (They are mostly bots, so I guess I could just block one of them?)
