Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Today I am working on some sketches of a new tileset for another world (Moonfall Peaks) in Moonlight Cow: Guardian of the Night. Here is a mockup of how some of these tiles might play together in Aseprite.

I’ve been working on a platformer where you control TWO characters at once.

If a jump is impossible… you can carry yourself across 🙂

Still polishing this, but I’m pretty happy with how it feels.

Indie life: Ignoring bad advice and making cow platformers anyway.

If you love retro inspired platformers, wishlist Moonlight Cow: Guardian of the Night.

Tag a friend who'd play this!

New glide ability unlocked = instant serotonin.

Luna jumping off cliffs and gliding over coins like a majestic mooooo.

If this doesn't make you want to play Moonlight Cow: Guardian of the Night... idk what will.

Thank you!

ditto. I'm still searching but I know my games have an audience out there somewhere.

I just refuse to try and make games I would personally never play. All the love and power to those who like idle clickers, horror, and incremental games (which are the current hotness); I just have no desire to play and/or make those games.

Every indie game marketing "expert": Whatever you do, DON'T make a platformer. Market's dead, you'll never stand out.

Me: Making a retro pixel platformer about a Cow and her best friend (a flying baby chick).

Challenge accepted. Sorry not sorry.

Added some new SFX and some Vocalization Recordings to the 2 characters. I think its bringing more life to them.

What do you think?

Maybe the Moonlight Cow sequel will be in 3D? Just playing around....

#indiegame marketing is really really tough. I appreciate all 38 of you who have supported/wishlisted the game so far.

Is it better to make an easier to play game (accessible to all skill levels) or a challenging/hard game that cater to only players of a certain skill level?

Oh rad. I’ll check it out

Absolutely

The original Mike Tyson Punch Out will always be my favorite but I did enjoy the Wii version a lot too!

Take a walk into the Whispering Woods and meet the Frog King.
Some rulers speak softly. Some glow.

Absolutely. Probably looking at the summer next fest as the one occurring this month is a little too early for the game (as I am sub 50 wishlists and you get very few opportunities to feed that Steam Algorithm)
