after almost a decade of living in city centre apartments, today I am moving into a lovely 2bed house in suburbia with a beautiful little garden, separate studio space for me, the kitchen is stunning.. I don't really believe that it's happening until we get the keys today. wish me luck AHHHHHH
Got stuck on the camera code so pivoted and working on some music today :) I think it's quite good so far #gamedev #indiedev #music #reaper
From the ground up we wanted to make PC feel like an authentic PS2 game not just the visuals but the the weirdly experimental nature of some of the gameplay.

Want to say, now’s most scary and stressful it’s been in a long while, and being informed is important. But your wellbeing is important too, so please take a rest if the endless stream of doom is wearing you down. Be kind to others and yourself, and fight this hate with love and care 🫂
dug out my old CRT!
also been working on lots of new things, more animation states, and a new ledge grabbing mechanic that took me bloody AGES. looks pretty good i think though?

God I get this, it takes me so long for those feelings to leave my system after the fact, it's never instant relief, it just sloooowly fades...glad to hear whatever it was was nothing though!
My current non-dev art that I’m working on as a break from tilesets and props

first step is this rough skeleton, getting a feel for the scale of things, where the walls will be, climbing/sliding/jumps etc.....

That hand drawn map is lovely, such a treasure! reminds me of me and my Mum playing PS1 games and her keeping notes and doing little diagrams, I so wish I still had them
Shout out to The Legend of Zelda after 40 years! A game whose sense of exploration and adventure still feels unparalleled to me in many ways.

Hand-drawn map by my dad, from when we played the game together in the 80s.
I'm late to everything as per, but have today discovered @retroachievements.org is a thing??? Going through Rayman atm, no cheats, no savestates, just ~30 years of experience playing it, so I can have bragging rights lmao
a clearly digitally edited environment with all sorts of animals, a big rainbow, water, nice sky
some people are very cruel and i don’t understand them. the world could be so much more beautiful
I would like to see the patch notes on this
Obsessed w/ the ch*tgpt subreddit, ppl are spiraling bc there's a new version that's SO rude+ confrontational + as much as I DETEST the rotten disgusting industry, I find joy in dysregulated ppl who thought a lovely robot was their best friend suddenly being called stupid + being gaslit by the robot
Bon retour parmi nous, Monsieur Rayman! ✨✌️
This one is a personal tribute to the 30th anniversary of the Rayman game, as well as to its original composer, Rémi Gazel, who passed away in 2019 after battling cancer.

This is so gooooood!!!
Couple more manual pages, unfinished, messy writing, but just trying to get out as much worldbuilding-ish stuff as I can. The districts are taking shape!! (My fav are either the obsolete partying robots or the ineffectual politicians that control the weather) #gamedev #indiedev #worldbuilding
more manual pages.
this started as a fun little side-project to see if I could make something era appropriate, but surprisingly has helped nail down some design decisions eg. District themes/item names/names of other stuff, as well as refine the lore of the world
#gamedev #indiedev
Procrastinating by making fake manual pages. Getting really into the idea of spreading encoded text around the environments to provide extra worldbuilding, secrets + whatnot. I love the thought of someone actually sitting with pen and paper trying to piece it together
#gamedev #indiedev #gamemanual
yes! and Jak and Daxter, I remember they had a similar thing with the precursor(?) alphabet, I printed off the chart with the symbols and spending ages as a 12yo going round and translating all the signs and whatnot. never let it be said that I wasn't an absolute geek
A series of strange symbols
In lighter news, I made a silly font for worldbuilding purposes, signposts/environmental text etc.
might be fun to hide messages with it, if people can work out which symbol corresponds to which letter
#gamedev #indiedev
oh my god idk if it was yesterdays episode where she fell of a chair screaming JESUS WEPT god love her
Fantastic news, followed your posts for a while and really pleased to hear that 🥳
LOVE THIS I’m buying it asap
