I'm done with this idle animation for now. I need to move onto other things on my list. I'll definitely come back to it later to improve it. Though that's a never ending job when you're never satisfied. 😅 I want to get better at this! #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #PixelArt

Animating takes a very long time for me because I can't stop taking breaks ever 10 minutes. Worked on redoing the player sprites all weekend and barely made progress. #IndieDev #IndieGame #IndieGameDev #GameDev #PixelArt #2D

These are the sprite animations for the enemy witch character Narcissa in "aToBaD" I did these last year so I'll probably redo them at some point. #IndieDev #IndieGame #IndieGameDev #GameDev #PixelArt #2D

I've been working on settings menus this weekend. It's a nice break from gameplay programming. It felt nostalgic making a cheat code menu and setting up some codes for it. I made it for playtesting, but who knows, maybe some of those cheats codes will make it to a demo build? #IndieDev #IndieGame

A screenshot from Octopus City blues. In a western-themed town, a cowboy and a person in a horse costume are facing a large and shadowy cowboy. Four other cowboys surround the large one while kneeling.

A screenshot from Octopus City Blues. A dark office with a desk shaped like a game controller. A seated person is reading a newspaper across the desk, while two enforcers stand on each side. The main character faces the newspaper reader.

A screenshot from Octopus City Blues. The main character holds a knife and has their back to the viewer while challenging a clownish looking person with a slot machine on their chest. At the top right, there are three identical faces representing the main character. A text box is shown with three choices: (the first one is selected)
"- (What do I do?)
- <Observe...>
- <Attack!>"

A screenshot from Octopus City Blues. Six characters are standing a beach littered with green bugs and fortifications. There's a small steam boat on the left side. One of the characters is a beetle dressed in a purple army uniform, lying on their back. Three other beetle "soldiers" wearing a yellow/orange colored uniform, in addition to the main character, surround the one on ground. Finally, a lone beetle soldier in a cape stands apart looking at the looming towers in the reddish horizon.

It's been long since I made a devlog: Today I wanted to show you a finished zone I've been working on for the Neo Habits demo. 👾 Also, here is an overview of the madness effects and death sequence that you will find in the game. I'll patch these soon, cheers! 👹 #IndieGame #GameDev #WishlistWednesday

When at lvl 3 of ice magic you can charge up and throw an ice spear that does a bit more damage and goes through shields. It has trajectory. Charge longer to throw further, however it depletes your focus. #IndieDev #IndieGameDev #GameDev #IndieGame #Magic #Action

Hello, it's been a while since we posted anything. Recently started working on our game again after 8 months. Here's a clip of a boss encounter that we are working on. It's very unbalanced and buggy right now. It took many tries to get to the end lol. #GameDev #IndieDev #IndieGame #ScreenShotSunday
