Crazy Dutch game developer. I am figuring things out as I go along. Creator of the game Gaia which is a game about my daughter by that name who walks through a portal into the world of Greek Mythology...

Finally swapped out my old Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) pixel art for a new, much larger and more true-to-life version based on the real bridge in Amsterdam. Canvas is 1920×1080, which is… 2,073,600 pixels. Just casually painting an entire HD screen one pixel at a time. #pixelart #amsterdam #2dart

Pixel-art scene of the old Magere Brug drawbridge in Amsterdam spanning a calm canal. The small white wooden bridge is split in the middle with two raised drawbridge arms supported by cables. A girl in a pink dress is mid-jump across the slightly open center section. Stone canal walls sit on both sides, and the still water below reflects the bridge and pale green sky with soft clouds, creating a symmetrical mirror image.

Pixel-art view of the Magere Brug (Skinny Bridge) in Amsterdam. The narrow white drawbridge spans a canal, with detailed railings, support cables, and traffic lights at the side. A small character in a pink outfit walks across the center of the bridge, while the bridge structure and cables frame the scene against a pale sky with soft clouds above calm water.

#FollowFriday Bluesky feels best for me when people actually talk to each other. Lately it’s felt a bit quiet here - let’s change that together. Reply with (if you want ofc): – what you’re making – why it matters to you – one thing you’re struggling with I’ll follow a few, and I hope others do too 🤝

#MythicMonday ⚔️🌊 Today I’m designing the Poseidon/Atlantis level for Gaia. Most of Atlantis sits safely above sea level… until the boss fight, when Poseidon strikes the earth with his trident and the whole world floods. What would you add to pre-flood Atlantis?

Max Davidse 🔜 GamesCom @dragonspiritgames.bsky.social · 11/11/2025

I reworked some of the level design of Atlantis a little bit for Poseidon. Still not the tileset, but the dithering in the sky and mountains, as well as the reflection has been addressed. Now looks much cleaner, look at before and after. Before...

Got some nice progress going today on the Poseidon level for Gaia. Made a very icky tileset I guess, but at least we can use it, and we got the parallax effect working. It is very subtle but I like it. More work needs to be done for sure. #indiedev #gamedev

Max Davidse 🔜 GamesCom @dragonspiritgames.bsky.social · 22/10/2025

A quick update from the recent streams and I have been struggling because Poseidon himself seemed to want to destroy my water shader. I fixed it and this gave me the chance to make a new scene for Poseidon. I designed it first (first screenshot) added it to Unity next. #indiedev

New level design for Poseidon, The colors are yellowish for the sky, dithering used to create a slow change in color, a dying sun that you see going into the water, mountains that are along the line of sight at the end of the water with snowy slopes using a heavy dithering effect to simulate fading snow towards the bottom. These still need to be less rectangular but I like how they look. Water reflecting using dithering as well, which will be more smooth in Unity, because it will be using the shader. All in all the entire scene uses only 7 colors.

Even gods faced Mondays ⚡️. In Greek myth, heroes didn’t wait for perfect conditions—they forged ahead despite chaos. I know it’s tough to balance worlds. But you can conquer your Olympus too. Set your mind. Take the first step. Victory follows. 🏛️ #MotivationalMonday

Mondays can feel like Sisyphus pushing his boulder - work calls, Azure tasks, game dev hurdles. But here’s the trick: every push makes us stronger. 💪 I treat Monday as a gift from the gods - another chance to build, create, and grow. How’s your climb today? #MotivationalMonday
