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

I wish I could directly share gifs and videos since screenshots aren't the best to show off this kind of game.

Esoparrot @esoparrot.bsky.social · 14/07/2024

Honestly I don't know how to answer this right now. At its roots I could say that it is I guess. It will, hopefully, be challenging. The way we are handling bosses though is different. Some levels will have their own thing going on but they are minimal. The bulk of gameplay is what you would expect.

Esoparrot @esoparrot.bsky.social · 14/07/2024

I've been apprehensive to share any actual screenshots of our game (we haven't come up with a title yet) because I never think it's good enough to show yet but I'm going to anyway. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev

I am so happy to see it finally get its own remake after Mist got countless ones. Riven always stuck with me since my childhood. The art, the atmosphere, the mystery, the story, and puzzles. I think about them all on the regular.

It's just the spray paint tool in Aseprite set to shading mode with a gradient that matches the colors of the base painting. Applied in one direction of the gradient and then the other direction of the gradient. Nothing really special, I guess. I just thought it looked nice.
