Looking back on my game dev journey so far. Featuring events I've been in. (Also, I started a blog) Can't help but feel nostalgic digging through the old pics. To more events in the future, hopefully. blog.ardeimon.com/attending-ev...

Paladins was my go-to game for years 😔 Sad to see how it's turned out...

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 16/01/2025

New update! Been busy remaking the intro cutscene and updating the story. This definitely took some time, but it's... something ig. #indiedev #indiegamedev

This one's just *chef's kiss*

A fish feeling suspicious. Something's fishy or sus-fish-ious, if you will.

Still working on the story and laptop's still broken, so here's some WIP of Hannah's hair animation in Craggenrock. I made it bouncy 'coz why not? 😄

A first of many small UI polishes: smoother bar progression and some text scaling animation. I'm trying to unify/improve UI movements with simple fades, etc. instead of sudden value changes.

020

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 05/12/2024

It's looking really lively here with all of the Christmas lights. Also, my phone's finally got a decent cam 😁

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 04/12/2024

Might be some time before I can share game update pics or vids. Getting overwhelmed with prep for the holidays and some personal stuff.

Exhausting day but was fun meeting other fellow devs!

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 25/11/2024

Made some adjustments to customer's speeds depending on their "types" and their overall movement patterns. Some important NPCs also now visit your shop. This is SERIOUSLY so mesmerizing to watch, I even adjusted time passing to slow down -300% and I might just keep it. #indiegames #cozygames

I really need to follow someone quickly. This is a scary number to have, given my username 👀

I sadly don't have much pics of PGDX earlier this year. Was busy attending the workshops. Saw a lot of familiar players from earlier years and they've all mentioned the game's improved a lot. ❤️

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 11/11/2024

Other shots from both Philippine Game Dev Expo (PGDX) and ESGS 2023. There were quite a few people who played the game during 2022 who tried it out again and found some great progress. ❤️ I now also learned to bring some table cloth for decor, which was nice.

Ardeimon 😈 @ardeimon.com · 11/11/2024

Reminiscing time. Some pics from my first ever public demo of Craggenrock 2 years ago, during ESGS 2022. I was so glad a lot of people tried my game and got a lot of feedback. (Also masks. Only been 2 years but such a weird sight now)

Here's a sneak peek of some of the new music included in Craggenrock! They sound really fun 🎵 Sound on for the best experience, of course. #gamedev #indiedev

Dandadan's subtitles are just on a different level 😅 The Filipino subs are even funnier

Recently updated how item prices can be adjusted to make it less clunky. One of the more frequently requested changes, and it certainly makes a difference! #indiedev #indiegamedev

Really glad I got that Eurovision bug. It's really fun discovering music I never would've discovered on my own.

Binge watched Sakura Quest earlier today. It was a touching show. I know it's fictional, but I was really rooting for the revival of the town. It's quite sad that some rural areas are indeed aging coz people are moving to the cities. Not just in Japan.

I think my smartwatch broke. It powers on, but there's no display. Tried resetting it to no avail. Bummer 🙁
