For my next big announcement: I'm working on my own game! Me and Shoffur have been working on Nested Dreams since 2022 but it had to be delayed when I started working on my documentary. But I'm really glad we waited because I've learned a lot about Godot and we have a great story worth telling.

We made a utility that lets us take full scale screenshots of rooms. Absolutely zero real purpose for this but it sure is cool to look at #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Thanks! I’ll change the file structure for future releases

Rooms are coming together super nicely with the new tiles. Thanks everyone who stopped by the streams! We'll be doing more in the future as we progress into more areas. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #metroidvania

We set up tools that let blend between color palettes and tints for individual tiles in our rooms. It might seem trivial, but in practice it’s extremely powerful for making seamless transitions and adding shading, depth and variety to rooms #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

One of the next major steps in development is going to be expanding some of my tilesets. Would anybody be interested if I livestream my art sessions? #indiedev #pixelart #metroidvania #gamedev

We’ve released a new update to our itch demo as an entry to a game jam. Lots of small improvements across the board, give it a shot! mccad00.itch.io/acrolyte/dev... #indiedev #metroidvania #gamedev

It took loads of fine tuning to get right, it’s still not perfect but honestly it really surprised me how well it ended up working out. We had to set up a custom shader for downscaling the render, because point sampling gives very unstable results

Movement tech can be chained together to travel at very high speeds and access certain areas and upgrades earlier than otherwise intended #indiedev #metroidvania

By rendering the player from a 3D model in real time, we can use dynamic lighting, apply permutations to the character, and get considerably more complex animations than would otherwise be possible #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart
