This is an appreciation post for Thiago, the artist that has been the other half of the studio since the beginning! He did all the pixel art of While the Iron's Hot, and now he does all the 3D stuff for Kingdom in Pieces.

Day 9 of our #12daysof gamedev!
Today I wanted to (re)share the best advice I have ever received. Don't worry about how it looks at first, just make it exist! Once it's real, you can spend your time on making it look good.

If I was just starting to learn how to make games today, there is three things that I would do differently than I did.

Day 5 of our #12daysof gamedev!
I refused to add PvP for a long time. I was afraid to have to tackle that can of worms, but it just made sense once we playtested the game with friends locally. Plus, our team is 100% remote so... Online it is!

Day 4 of our 12 days of gamedev!
Today, I wanted to share a bit about our process adding new pieces to the game. Our artist preps everything so that it's super easy for me to create the prefab in Unity. As easy as 1, 2, 3!

These aren't done yet. They need their glaze or their dusting of powdered sugar. These are pecan melts, and some areas call them wedding cookies, though the recipe i have for both are different to me.
#12daysof #baking ... ever have one of those well fuck moments... I tried to make divinity for the 1st time. Recipe let me cut it into squares. I mistakenly cut through my silicone mat thinking I was cutting pecans. 🤦 Somehow I fucked up either way and made nougat.
