Started working on a sprite version :)
Hopefully it displays right, been having issues with bluesky and gifs lately

new profile picture!
it's a critter for my game: there'll be different types you can tame (after defeating their boss) and they'll either help out at the farm or in battle, or produce resources :)

Coming from the world of CSS, not having a max size was such a hard adjustment for me when styling my UI in Godot. I kinda learned to work around it but I'm still glad it's coming in 4.7!

Thank you!

Dandelion poster for one of my shop scenes, finally finished!
At some point I'll add a frame to it, but i've been working on this for the past few days and i need to work on something else now, haha.
Original size is 171 x 231 px

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #dandelion #illustration

Shop scenes will have this "zoomed in" look / perspective, and i intend to use every available pixel! :D
Currently working on the poster in the back, will post it soon once it's finished.

For those dealing with the new image compression blurring their pixel art, this thread is a must-read!

progress on the battle sprite :)

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation

battle sprite WIP :)
spend the day yesterday on getting the base animation down, now onto clean-up and turning this into an actual character!

currently at 21 frames

life goal: befriending the murder of crows in my neighborhood!
canvas size: 256 x 256px

#pixelart #crow

started this as a realism practice, but i don't feel it anymore, so it'll probably never get finished, haha. Wanted to share nonetheless though :)

Working on a pixel godot spritesheet 🩷

#pixelart #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

It's kinda funny how game UI needs some sort of sound effect to not feel empty, but we don't react the same to eg web pages or "normal" apps...
anyway, worked some more on my gamified task list and added sounds :D
#godot #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

thank you :)
most gamified to do lists do a single player rpg approach with leveling up, but i wanted to go the multiplayer route for shared tasks :D
i hope to ignite some friendly competition with the boardgame approach, so tasks get done faster and our flat keeps tidy, haha

something that's important for me to add: when setting up tasks, players will be able to set custom "difficulties": some tasks are harder for some than others (think spoon theory, equality vs equity) and a few extra steps gained may help tackle the task (hopefully, haha)

Me and my partner both have ADHD and struggle with house chores. Normal to do lists or schedules don't really work, so i thought, why not try to gamify the experience? :D Allowed steps will be determined by the finished task and you gain some bonus when completing one round

Progress on the tileset :) Still need to do some color adjustments and clean things up here and there, but i'm pretty proud about how much i've got done this week.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gameassets

working on trees and giant mushrooms, hehe

#gamedev #indiedev #gameassets #pixelart

added some stones :)
I'm having so much fun creating this tileset but currently no real use for it, so i decided to keep working on it until the end of the week and then publish it as a free asset pack to itch :)

#gamedev #indiedev #isometric #gameassets #pixelart

i am having so much fun working on these tiles, it's ridiculous! Currently at 23 different grass tiles lol

#gamedev #isometric #pixelart #indiedev #gameassets

Taking a tiny break from my main project to work on some isometric tiles :)

#gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #gameassets

Working on a little corner players can unlock to replenish their stamina during sunny days :)

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #aseprite #pixelart

dropped items persist on map change :)
something that annoys me most when playing this sort of game is when they don't. so, they'll persist until the end of the day, then some (not all) get moved to a "lost and found" chest.

#indiedev #gamedev #godot #indiegame #pixelart

item pick up is still missing, but throwing them out is working :)

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

More inventory progress!
Not sure if i keep displaying the HUD part when the inventory window itself is open, but if i do, they work together :)

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

Been refactoring the inventory logic, 'cause the concerns were not really separated, lol.
then i used the new logic to build the HUD inventory :) We have splitting one off / in half, stacking and switching around

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart

redrew the other portrait i had :) i like this style way better, yapyap

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Still not finished, but this is a placeholder portrait i can live with now :)

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

redrawing my portraits again, lol. they're not necessarily bad, they just don't align with the overall style i'm going for. and although the game is still very much in placeholder art stage, i just can't stand looking at them, haha.

#gamedev #indiedev

i'm not really satisfied with the humanoid portraits, but this one i like :)
still needs some work, but i got to go back to sprites for now
