Finally got around to adding a little detail I've been meaning to for a while. Now Copper takes off her helmet when inside a habitat that provides oxygen! 🪖⛑️👩‍🦰💇‍♀️ wow! #indie #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Made a new little capsule image/logo situation for Astoria! The previous was just a placeholder so its nice to have something I put a bit more work in to. 🖼️🎨🚀👩‍🚀 #indie #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Hmmm... not exactly what I had in mind.. Maybe alien plants just go crazy sometimes 🤔👽🤣 also.. does anyone know what causes a shader to do this in unity? It's very annoying... #indie #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Recently worked on the lightning visuals a bit! I'm pretty happy with them so far, will probably still tweak thing a bit as time goes on 🌩️⚡️🌩️ Don't forget to build a lightning rod, it will come in handy! #indie #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

I've always loved mini discs. I wish they were still a thing. I still have my old mini disc player and a bunch of discs. Here's a little loading icon I made for Astoria, and it in-game 💽 Woah! there's a minidisc emoji?💽💽🤯 #indie #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #minidisc

Here's a fun little blaster animation I'm pretty happy with. I probably put a bit too much detail in, especially the blaster slide moving, but it was fun to do! Also happy with the sound FX I came up with! 🔊🔊 #indie #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #animation #blender

Made a little death/destroyed animation for these turret baddies... Maybe I should make everything explode after they die.... 🤔💥🧨 It's always a bit tricky to get the timing of things to feel right, so the explosion happens right when it should etc... #indie #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Creature concepts -> Creatures in game! It's fun to bring these little guys to life. Fun fact, the slime is fully 2D animated, while the froggy guy is 3D modeled and animated then exported as 2D sprites.. If only all creatures were a simple as the humble slime. #indie #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev
