Also! As usually i'm participating in #Artfight, almost for 10 years now. artfight.net/~Etrikia

been trying to relax and get some IRL things done but it's so weird to not have "the project" to work on. It's both relieving and disorienting somehow. That being said I'm going to be helping a small team with their game while I'm cooking up a foundation for my NEXT game :) Hint: 🌱

Going home to the states tomorrow.

Hope you enjoyed your week of A Week In Paradise!! I have some additional features in mind but those are TBD. if you missed it, my short indie game made with over 1600 hours of work just launched last week! Check it out here: store.steampowered.com/app/4062600/... #indie #gamedev #launchweek #VN

So RPGMakerWeb.com is closing their forum with no plans to archive it. I don't believe it's a good idea to so willfully throw away a decade of tools, resources, and answers that a massive base of RPG Maker devs rely on. Let them know if you feel the same... forums.rpgmakerweb.com/threads/welc...

For those who missed it: The full launch trailer! youtu.be/3T97x6-9jWk?...

Dev log 30: A few bug reports have come in but nothing we can't fix! Thank you to everyone who has played so far and especially those who left nice messages! After bugs are patched and an overdue break, I'll be working on the Portugese translation patch. More info on that in a few weeks. #gamedev

Late night thoughts: There's something about this game dev journey that, while difficult, has been so gratifying. Im here sitting in the dark waiting for the power to come back on and I thought about someone who's made a life-size wailmer crochet moving on to the next project.

PHEW Finally #animated them all! This process never gets easier. They look fast because they'll be adjusted in-engine! #animation #gamedev

Helping work on this jam game on the side!

New batch of drinks! Which one's your favorite? #pixelart #drinks #oc #gamedev #indie

Check out my 90's anime inspired webcomic, NIROH! It's about a monster hunter, who suffers a terrible curse, and travels with his bard friend, Mimsy! A kindhearted forest nymph. --- Links: - tapas.io/series/Niroh - niroh.thecomicseries.com #webcomic #darkfantasy #fantasy #manga #niroh #oc #ocsky

Dev log 22 (continued): I also finally got some more art done! decided to give the 4th character, Lenore a bust sprite as well. All that's left is to animate them :) #oc #gamedev #indie #art #sprites

Dev log 22: The save system works!! It still needs some tweaks to keep the ui consistent.. but it LOADS to the CORRECT chapter with your choices! I might try to add it to the demo before next fest. I'd also like to welcome a new voice actress to the mix. Continued below. ⤵️ #gamedev #devlog #godot

I spent today (around 16 hours) trying to get my save system to work(it doesnt). i was smart enough to backup before trying to downgrade a system in a desperate attempt because then the entire thing didnt run 💀 needless to say i learn how to revert on git today

The rough-ins for the 3rd map are done! I wonder who's room this is... #gamedev #pixelart #indie #godot
