Hello Bluesky I'm working on AQUATIC CREW, a cozy ship-management sim in which you'll explore the Côte d'Azur of the 1970s. store.steampowered.com/app/5294280/... #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #cozygame

New cooking animation! This is the most complex animation I've worked on so far. It's been fun, but also very challenging - especially getting the male and female variants both working nicely with my modular character system. #pixelart #godot

So I'm making a game about managing a ship crew in the 70s, inspired by Jacques Cousteau. Of course there should be smoking, but I wonder how that will impact the age rating of my game. Is it still a problem if it's that pixelated / low res? Anyone with opinions or info on this? #usk #pixelart

Spent some good quality time on what I probably love most about making games: setting up a character generation that can spits out an ridiculous amount of variants. #pixelart #indiedev #godot

⚓I've been working on a Crew Shift Board as a GDscript exercise. This is something like the 3rd iteration, had to restart a couple of times to get the structure right, but now I'm quite happy with it! Almost done, just some finishing touches left! #Godot #Indiedev

Did you know that a toilet on a ship is called "head"?

Looking back at the modding wiki we did for Curious Expedition 1, it' actually a pretty sophisticated insight into how the game was made: curious-expedition.fandom.com/wiki/Modding...
