Congrats on a safe return, to the pioneers of the new space age and all those behind the scenes that made it happen #nasa #artemis #space #pixelart

Working on the town hall interior(s).

Life gets in the way so progress is slow... But always chipping away at bits and pieces! #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #solodev

You know how in a library no one’s trying to sell you anything?

That’s how the internet was.

First minigame added. A 'flappy-like' (art is temporary). Few other bits and pieces done too, persistent hats across scenes, usernames, and some code adjustments to host through Vercel. Nearly ready for Beta... #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart

Tinkering with Vercel and Railway to get an open alpha build of my social game up and running. Why did no one tell me how easy this was??

I love self hosting but convenience is a tough thing to shy away from

What game are you playing?? #pixelart #gamedev

PC's packed while moving so revisiting some old projects on my MacBook. Built this little 'engine' in C# a while back. Doesn't look like much but for a first custom engine, a basis for a tile map is a pretty big deal to me.

Thanks for the feedback! Colour palette is high on the to-do list. I was planning to block stuff in and revise and merge colours down the line. Pillow shading is a problem for me, art isn't final though, and scale is a consequence of it being a social game, needs breathing room for multiple players

Not had much glamourous stuff to show lately, but I've been tinkering with game objects, cycling window lights, interactive doors, and the FIRST INTERIOR!!

Got lots of ideas for this bad boy. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Confirmed UFO spotted over Mexico

Dude. Wishlist 'REPLACED'

Thanks!! Lots of touching up to do but as a foundation I’m pretty happy

Town v1 is in the game!! Lots of work to do to get it layering properly, fix scene transitions, add interiors, l and generally make it feel more alive, but we're getting there!! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #solodev

Ignoring the demo UI, we now have a functioning in-game art tool! It submits the image to the server for now, but I plan to build ways to show it all off in-game. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

That's awesome wth

Taking a break from the programming to work on the art. #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev

Lazy art update. Aseprite's Jumble tool is amazing, I'll add in dynamic grass on top of this though. Camera with deadzone is done though, might add in some easing. It's a lobby now, just need to add in stuff to do.. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #webdev

Playing #Noita for inspiration on a potential mining system I’m cooking up. And also because it’s an awesome game

New environment, accurate collision mechanics, sorting layers, and of course... more hats!! Getting very close to an open alpha #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

As expected I was fired. Though when I asked to record the audio of the meeting I was explicitly told to turn off my phone, recordings weren’t allowed. That feels dodge..

pixel art that reads 'fuck adobe'

Guess I'll keep going.

Who wants to collab on an open source alternative to Adobe products that can actually reliably replace them?

According to HR it’s “Friendly February”. I’m more than likely being let go tomorrow, even though the friendly February calendar says “do an act of kindness to make life easier for something”. Do they know????

almost forgot but blento launched on producthunt today too, an upvote or comment would be much appresh 👉👈

New chat system (with show/hide toggle), better hat management, emote system, and new UI. Not final but progress, might put out a little demo world soon #gamedev #webgame #indiedev #pixelart

Web3 was a marketing ploy to create pump and dump schemes. It’s a shame though, for all the shit they get I do think NFTs are a really good idea, just not for slop art.

Too early to say what this is actually going to end up being as a game.. but sprite-stacked cars are going to be part of it #pixelart #gamedev

If I was in the comfort of my home, I’d gladly give an hour or so of my time for anything north of £20, especially if it meant supporting indie devs/studios

I added a cosmetic system to my little online social game. #pixelart #gamedev

We have an in-game chat! #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart
