Work in progress of a UI design for a fictional game called "Vampire Blood Bar." The UI is monochromatic with shades of red & black. There are two cute little chibi vampires in a window, there are multiple buttons to press that indicate Blood Type like A-positive, etc. There are blood bags in a queue at the bottom of the screen and players must match the blood bags with the buttons. There is a level meter that tracks your progression in the game, as well as a heart meter. You can only lose 3 customers and the game is over.

💛Another single screen game coming your way soon?
💛Or another way to push off your existing #GameDev projects while chilling on a Sunday?

I make all my own music for the games that I create. Here’s some WIP on my latest song for #GlowRogue

Screenshot of someone using aseprite to make UI/UX for a game called Glow Rogue. There is a "shop" title. There is a robot on a red TV screen. There are buttons that are currently blank.

This is the "after image" of the previous image, which was pixel art of UI/UX for a game called "Glow Rogue." This time all of the buttons have unique images that correspond with upgrades in the game for weapons and status effects. The UI/UX is also glowing now.

💛 How it started

💛 How its going

Hello! Go where the inspiration takes you, I just ported #TellyTheTV to amazon and trying to find a project that inspires me. #GlowRogue will have to wait. Reply & let me know if you're still interested in that game. Here's a prototype #GameDev #IndieGameDev #PixelArt

Now that #TellyTheTV is coming to Amazon Fire Tablets (still working on Fire TV controls), i've decided to turn my attention away from #GlowRogue for a bit, to focus on Telly. Lots of stuff on the horizon. Follow this thread for more! Pt 1 🧵 store.steampowered.com/app/3245370/...

First Iteration of my robot advisor for glow rogue, a game I am creating that's a twin-stick SHMUP with a roguelike card twist. This advisor ended up being a little spooky looking, so I adjusted the eyes in the next iteration.

First Iteration of my SECOND robot advisor for glow rogue, a game I am creating that's a twin-stick SHMUP with a roguelike card twist. This second robot advisor, with much more of that signature candy apple red color, ended up being a little evil looking so I tried to amend the eyes again on this robot to make it seem friendly.

Second Iteration of my FIRST robot advisor for glow rogue, a game I am creating that's a twin-stick SHMUP with a roguelike card twist. Now i have eyes that look much less menacing. Although I was still doubting the vision I was having with the robots. Perhaps they can still be part of the game somehow.

Second Iteration of my SECOND robot advisor for glow rogue, a game I am creating that's a twin-stick SHMUP with a roguelike card twist. Now i have eyes that look much less menacing. The true before & after is available on my Ko-Fi Page. I've created a new anime style avatar for the players to communicate with during battle.

So I've got #GameDev ADD:
1. Finish & Publish #GlowRogue to Early Access on Itch
2. Work on story cutscenes for an update to #TellytheTV on Steam
3. Finish a dungeon crawler pixel art asset pack to sell on Itch

Been laying low this week from BSky, getting holiday shopping done, health insurance enrollment, testing out some random artwork for my game. I’ve been trying to decide which direction to go with my game #GlowRogue. Traditional premium model, or F2P?

Someone said my first robot advisor is kinda freaky looking, so I made another one. Only my Ko-Fi Supporters will get a behind the scenes look at today's new Robot Advisor! #GlowRogue #IndieGaming #GameDev #SoloDev #IndieGameDev #PixelArt #8Bit #RetroGaming #ArcadeGames #KoFi

So anyways, its been a while but I havent given up, so I'm suggesting you don't do the same after #GlowRogue. Im considering leveraging the gamedevs here on bluesky, whilst working full-time job to support family, + leveraging #ai tools - readyplayer.me/blog/ai-is-j....

“For 20 years you’ve been wasting your time on passion projects and you have nothing to show for it.”

So I guess after #GlowRogue that may be the end of my #GameDev life for now; until I can make a viable web business selling things that people actually need and want 🧵 pt 11

Glow-Rogue by ExtraMustard Futuristic Twin-Stick Bullet Hell with a Rogueilke Twist

Had a nice weekend blowing off some steam: post-Thanksgiving work-week. Just have one shift tonight & company coming to visit!

Added some SFX to #GlowRogue, #Leaderboards now work as well!Got the official Apple Dev app to buy an IOS dev account. extramustard.itch.io/glow-rogue

I don’t currently have a video but I fixed all the performance issues with #GlowRogue. The native #Gdevelop effects take a lot of professing power. I removed particle effect trail from the player bullet because that added huge lag spikes. 🪡 🧵 pt 1
#GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev

In an effort to improve performance in #GlowRogue I am exporting every sprite from #Gdevelop and manually adding a Glow effect in a photo editing program. Just removing the engine-based glow-effect has improved performance significantly extramustard.itch.io/glow-rogue #Gamedev

@gdevelop.bsky.social have any room for another #Gdevelop developer on your starter pack? I’ve got #TellytheTV out now and soon #GlowRogue will be launched in Beta on Itch.

Cover art for a video game named "Glow Rogue." There's a red spaceship, triangular in shape. It has a blue window. There are geometric shapes that are light teal, they are glowing. There's ovals, hexagons, and cubes. There's a grid similar to Tron, or vaporwave aesthetic. There's a logo that's teal and red, called "Glow Rogue."

Promotional Artwork for #GlowRogue! I've been hard at work on this today, I wanted to keep editable for my game's title screen, as well as promotional artwork for the platforms I'm working on publishing the game on. #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #IndieGames #Gaming #H5Games Thoughts?
