Found Krita's medium pencil brush, so I'm having a ton of fun sketching now 😁 (at least until the next art low 😌) #sketch

If you see this, quote with your Night/ Dark Art! Some pixel art I did as part of Lospec's daily's challenge when I was pixelin' on the regular

Been learning digital art, should I post about it here? or should I stick to mostly game dev?

Thought I finished the content for the update but discovered I forgot the abilities for the new bows when playtesting...! Oh well, it's as good excuse as any for designing fancy new arrows 😌 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #turnbased

Great palette :D I used Ephemera for the #pixelart in my #roguelite game Heroes Against Time, but I also added a palette switching feature so if you win with certain character you can change the game's colors!

The "donut" layout is pre-scripted, but enemy placement and decorations like the flowers and grass and moss are all procedural - Also the mothling might've moved to that spot during combat, so it's mostly luck 😋

Defeated this mothling while playtesting... procedural generation gave them the absolute best spot for a dramatic grave 😔 #gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Before playtesting the new area in Netherguild I worried the enemies would be too easy, now I'm thinking I'll have to nerf everything 😳 #gamedev #indiegame #trpg

A player enjoyed my dark sci-fi choose your own adventure roguelike earlier this week, makes me super happy 😊 superobot1.itch.io/oil-pit Should come back to this universe someday...!

garblegamer writes a review for Oil Pit, a post apocalyptic science fiction CYOA roguelike:

Great story! It intrigued me very quickly and I had fun finding all the branching story paths. I did keep getting mega unlucky when I didn't have enough hunter guards to feed everyone though. I had multiple cascading failures from that situation where the first to starve were the hunter guard, that then caused more shortages, to which more hunter guards starved, which again meant there wasn't enough food, so more hunter guards died! so unlucky. I learnt my lesson and was well stocked on hunter guards every play through after that.

I watched this anime without any expectations and it absolutely blew me away It's simple and earnest in some ways which some people dislike, but it does what it sets out to do very well which is why it's a masterpiece imo Also they predicted the pointing meme
