Looks like Kidd's much more sneaky than usual today 🤔

A picture of cartoon dinosaurs from Zniw Adventure

THE TIME HAS COME!!!
I'm entering the SEMI-HIATUS energy-storing mode!!
Prepping something big! No distractions or doomscrolling anymore!

Reach me out via emails, Discord, or my partner @kurasiu.bsky.social if you really need something.

See you... someday!

A handsome Caenagnathus in blue clothes.

Look at her!!💛 #ZidJourney

WIP of another one!
#animation #ZidJourney #indiegame

WIP animation for the upcoming game :)
#ZidJourney #animation #gamedev #indiegames

A closeup of the previous picture, cropped. Two speech are bubbles pointing up. Inside them there are the faces of the dinos.

I added a fun variant ( @kurasiu.bsky.social will put a curse on me lol) of our default portrait to play with the size of the actual animal.

These two are KS backer's dino-cameo rewards. What we got here is a custom Alamosaurus and Stenonychosaurus.

Even more cooking in progress... This time it's the dinosaur architecture once again!

#indiegame #zidjourney

More! This one was super quick:

#gamedev #zidjourney

A digital illustration of a primitive alley.

My background skills have leveled up.
That is, I still don't know what I am doing, but I'm doing it really well!

#gamedev #art #zidjourney

A screen from the game showing the WIP background. Uncolored, only - unusually in my workflow - black and white elements marking the cell shading

This isn't finished yet but looks so good??

It's like I bent the background making skill to my will.

Ngl I'm sooo glad I crunched out that comic paleomedia recently. It snapped something in me and rearranged my neurons idk

making backgrounds tastes differently now
#art #gamedev #ZidJourney

A mountainy view of an entrance with a staircase leading towards the top. The sign reads "Metallonia".

A combined view of background screens for our upcoming game #ZidJourney :)

Acrude sketch of a cartoony dinosaur jumping in a backpack, and next to it three drawings of the same topic showing the dinosaur before the jump, during, and after the jump.

Programmer's sketch vs final (animated in the game) artist's interpretation :D
Make it happen first! You can perfect it later ^_^
#inidedev #dinosaurs #zidjourney

Rough test/animatic from Zid Journey, showing determined Zid looking at something, while water drops and splashes fly across the screen

Even more cooking in progress: Zid is filled with determination, and so should you - hang in there, everyone!

Screenshot of an interior location, with some decorative items on the shelves, and a large ammonite shell turned into a lamp hanging on the ceiling, and Zid in the middle. From Zid Journey

Haven't done a #screenshotsaturday in a while, so here you go - please enjoy some more of The Lämp™

POV: the last thing you see when you forget to feed Kidd

Twarda's been pretty busy finishing up some ZJ animations recently...

#ZidJourney #IndieGame

Woohoo! & beware!
I am animating again!
Here's a quick Kidd jumping sequence for our game! Don't mess with the little chomper!

Cool new animations inside👇

PS. A new Kickstarter update is coming soon!

Pixelated icon of a sad Kidd face, from Zid Journey

Kidd is deeply concerned you might have not been kind enough to yourself today

#IndieDev #ZidJourney

Sketch of an ammonite shell turned into a piece of decorative art. Part of background from Zid Journey

Dinosaur artisans be like
-...That's just a common shell?
-Nah dude, we're turning it into a piece of ✨art✨

#ZidJourney #IndieDev

Promo art of Zid Journey. It shows two cartoony dinosaurs walking in a forest.

I'm doing a totally lame job at marketing our next game.

So here's a promo poster with all QR links you need to know (whooping two of them!)

Hopefully these dinosaurs will sparkle joy and reach the people who would love to play it😊

Zid takes it easy tonight (and so you should too!)

#ZidJourney #IndieDev

Background of a stone wall, with wooden doors visible on the right side. From Zid Journey

BEHOLD

...a wall!

#ZidJourney #IndieDev

A screenshot showing a popup window of a cartoony plesiosaur from Zid Journey

Plesiosaurs 👌
There are 3 variants of this popup window in the game. Two of them will likely be dependent on the player's choice, hehe

An ilustration of a confused dinosaur character holding an opened twisted and knoted scroll, that loops around him.

What's in the scroll?
Wrong answers only

Several moods of Kidd, from Zid Journey - happy, neutral, scared and angry

The many, many moods of Kidd.... don't forget to feed and pet your dinosaur hatchlings now, everyone

#zidjourney #indiegame

A big stone-made building is shown at night, illuminated by moonlight.

The night version of the recently finished screen (background) for #ZidJourney Hopefully, some further animation to the braided/beaded blind will be added later.
