One of these things led me to soldering. As a Pokemon kid, I strangely owe a lot of creative credit to these toys. I’m breaking this one out again and trying to get every mon. 20th anniversary model.

Did you ever see this kind of drain? This was in a village in Ontario. Distant memories and more to come. #gamedev #indiegame

Just your typical spirit child of the forest but I’m not going to let one nightmare creature stop me from playing. This game looks incredible #zelda #nintendo

Making the same tree gets old quickly, but making a treeline is a big dopamine hit. Switching roles, you're in a cycle of "a little work = small reward". It keeps things fresher than when I get into a coding groove or something. Glacial process pic attached #indiedev #gamedev

Baby steps. I still don't know if this is easier or harder than 2D but it took me a while to be able to fire off a walk animation in 2D, too. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #3DModel

I'm roughing out an action figure of a lion that I played with at my grandparent's house. This probably belonged to one of my older cousins before it became a bath toy for the younger ones. music from mobygratis.com #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

My grandpa was a left-handed golfer, but these are just going to sit in the garage anyway. The Tam o' Shanter cover is historically accurate. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Let's make some templates before the dogs wake up. I used to draw every day but not for a long time. I'm working on grandma's mouth shapes while speaking. I'll create one for each character in the game. I can iterate much quicker by hand here. #indiedev #gameart

How's the narrative-driven adventure/exploration game dev going? Grandma and grandpa are almost done... #gamedev #indiedev

Some knockoffs of popular name brand boy's sneakers in the 90's- the Passaic Blues, Chunk Tompkins, and the Victory Aztec sneaker. Need to finish these today and then I'm thinking socks and sandals? #wip #gameart #videogameart #indiedev #gamedev #3drender #blender3D #sneakers

Some weekend progress pics. First time making NPCs. I have no idea what I'm doing. I tried sketching some other Hergé style chars but I think I landed on a Windwaker version of teenage Calvin. #indiedev #gamdev #Blender3D #3DModel #3DArt #art

2 pics of the living room furniture models. And one of the reference photos I used with my dad and grandma from 1984. Not pictured are my maternal grandparents who made the drive from Philadelphia to Ontario. I was still a twinkle in his eye, so to speak. #indiedev #indiegame #blender3D #gamedev

Modeling an early 80's riding mower my grandpa owned for at least 2 decades. I think this model started coming out in 1977. I'm still deciding how much access the player has to this as a vehicle. It moves pretty fast for a 12 year old driver. #indiedev #Blender3D #3DModel #3DArt #art

I was drawing these characters this weekend, trying to get the bob right. There are some other models that behave the same way so far. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #scifi #MQCS

Prototype screens for a virtual-pet based around raising a prince or princess to lead a kingdom. Uses an ESP32 chip for communication with other devices. No cleaning up poop, no hourly feeding schedule. It's called The Prince: Divinely Ordained V-Pet #pixelart #GameDev #バーチャルペット#Vpet

Here are a few WIP pics of the Miss Lonelyhearts interplanetary bulk carrier, or the MS-LH. It's like an adult coloring book. This is draft numero uno. Washroom, pump room, storage warehouse. #gameart #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #IndieGameDev #MQCS

Pretty sketchy... On board the Miss Lonelyhearts' bridge. The MSSLH is a interplanetary bulk carrier. The pictured freight robot is compatible but not included. #pixelart #gameart #indiedev #indiegame

Doing a cross section of the ship. This game jumps from genre to genre, and this adventure-game type area is just a framing device for a totally different thing. I had planned a detour from the plot early in development and it is paying off #pixelart #indiegame #gameart #GameDev

A pixel image of three round spaceship windows look out into deep space. A slowly pulsing glow shines warmly from underneath the outside of the ship and provides the only light. In front of each window, there is a single-bladed fan, each at rest.

I made a mockup document when I started my current game. It's gradually turning into a screenshot document. It's been helpful for comparing color, and also progress over time. I open it once every few months. #gamedev #game #indiegames #IndieGameDev #Steam #gaming #pixelart #MQCS
