Dev log 28: Submitted the build for review!! The chase for perfection is a fool's errand. I dont think there's much more I could add at this point. there's only 1 bug i'm aware of that's so minor not a single playtester had encountered it. if you find it, let me know 😎. #devlog #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

Dev log 21: 52 pages of raw script are DONE, on to proof reading and, the next mini game, and art art art!

Dev log 20: WIP of another map! I want to add some more dynamic lighting and animations but I'll put this one hold for now to finish the script this month. #oc #pixelart #gamedev

Made my first proper dev log video. youtu.be/rJRqRV738E0

TFW over 1000 accounts have your demo in their library

Devlog 19: Finished another map! The side scrolling perspective is hard! I'll have to re-pixel the main sprites for this scene to avoid mixels, but thanks fully not too much! #pixelart #gamedev #art #indie

Look at this amazing art of Charlene from @rainytei.bsky.social 😍 Thank you!!

Devlog 18: Just broke 21000 words on the master document! I'm very close to finish up a full draft of the script.

No rest for the wicked, posted the final patch for the #gamedemo for while, back to moving FORWARD.

Happy Hanukah, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa, Winter Solstice or whatever you celebrate from this small dev :>

heads up that bluesky doesnt show posts from other languages by default on your timeline, and its cutting you off from a lot of the community go to bsky.app/settings/lan... and deselect any language from this setting, or else you might not see any of the new japanese users at all!

Omg I'm late to #TeaseYaGame ! Maybe I need a drink...
