This #DemoMonday I'm releasing a new version of The Portsmoor Abysm, my atmospheric puzzle game, with updated environment art. This example is from episode 2, what do you think?
Play the updated demo now!

Abysm today: More pixeling... finished up dirt tiles in episode 4, getting closer for episode 2. This art update is now fairly close and I'm contemplating that I will want to update screenshots and trailers and all that. Sigh.

Thanks a lot! While I don't have anything like the chops to do it justice, I'm inspired by the 16/32bit era of my teenage years, specifically the Amiga and in particular the art of The Bitmap Brothers games.
This #ScreenshotSaturday I'm showing this clip from The Portsmoor Abysm, my atmospheric boulder-pushing puzzle game. This shows the updated episode 3 pixel art that I'm working on. Play the demo, get the game:

Abysm today: More pixeling, mostly done with redrawing the dirt tiles of ep1, and started with ep2, deciding the basic design.
It's #WishlistWednesday and I certainly like wishlists... but reviews are also sorely needed:

Abysm today: Pixeling dirt, experimenting with ways to add variation.
It's #DemoMonday and the demo of my game covers the first of four episodes:

Try it, and if you like it, consider buying the complete game, supporting a solo dev!

Abysm today: Completed the move from "transition in dirt" to "transition in empty space" tile layout. This should allow varied dirt graphics, with basics demonstrated in the screenshot.

#gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #pixelart #puzzlegame #showmesunday #steamdeck
Abysm today: My experiment continues ahead as shown. The goal is more flexibility and increased variety for the dirt.
It's #ScreenshotSaturday, and if you like what you see, the game is available on Steam:

Abysm today: More work on my latest graphical experiment. Looks wonky still, might ultimately not be worth pursuing, but going to give it some polish to see if I can make it work.
Try the demo of the game?

Abysm today: Looked around for inspiration and references for some updated graphics, and then started some provisional pixeling.

We recently surpassed having 1,000 games in our database! π As that number continues to grow, you can look through all the puzzly games we've cataloged here:
If ya'll could boost my game I'd very much appreciate it!
Trying to get to 50 reviews for the Steam algorithm. I already have glowing reviews from the likes of Raigan Burns (N++) and Daniel Linssen (Leap Year) and just need a handful more.

Abysm today: Split the tile map into two layers, background and foreground, to allow me to play around with some new graphical effects.

Abysm today: Created a small pixel art animation and went looking for a matching sound. Watched Thomas Brush stream my game and liking it quite a bit, particularly the sounds, which was really satisfying:
