Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! Today I am working on some sketches of a new tileset for another world (Moonfall Peaks) in Moonlight Cow: Guardian of the Night. Here is a mockup of how some of these tiles might play together in Aseprite. #gamedev #pixelart #solodevelopment

I’ve been working on a platformer where you control TWO characters at once. If a jump is impossible… you can carry yourself across 🙂 Still polishing this, but I’m pretty happy with how it feels. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Every indie game marketing "expert": Whatever you do, DON'T make a platformer. Market's dead, you'll never stand out. Me: Making a retro pixel platformer about a Cow and her best friend (a flying baby chick). Challenge accepted. Sorry not sorry.

Is it better to make an easier to play game (accessible to all skill levels) or a challenging/hard game that cater to only players of a certain skill level?

Experimenting with camera and level design in Moonlight Cow. I’m considering letting levels grow vertically so Luna and Pipkin can explore up and down instead of just side-to-side. Does that sound fun to you? Let me know if the comments! #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #cozygames #platformer

Releasing my first game taught me a lot. Finishing is hard — the last 10% felt like 90%. Not everyone will get your vision. If you don’t believe in it, no one will. Publisher rejection can hurt My first game didn’t sell much, but it’s done — and that’s worth celebrating. #indiedev #gamedev
