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

ditto. I'm still searching but I know my games have an audience out there somewhere.

Birdtek Games | Developing Moonlight Cow: Guardian of the Night @birdtekgames.bsky.social · 23/02/2026

I just refuse to try and make games I would personally never play. All the love and power to those who like idle clickers, horror, and incremental games (which are the current hotness); I just have no desire to play and/or make those games.

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.

Added some new SFX and some Vocalization Recordings to the 2 characters. I think its bringing more life to them. What do you think? #cozy #platformer #indiegame

#indiegame marketing is really really tough. I appreciate all 38 of you who have supported/wishlisted the game so far.

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?

Birdtek Games | Developing Moonlight Cow: Guardian of the Night @birdtekgames.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

The original Mike Tyson Punch Out will always be my favorite but I did enjoy the Wii version a lot too!

Absolutely. Probably looking at the summer next fest as the one occurring this month is a little too early for the game (as I am sub 50 wishlists and you get very few opportunities to feed that Steam Algorithm)
