Say hello to Oxon! I hand painted his body parts like so and simply put them together in Unity! 😄🖌️🎨 #madewithunity #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #horrorgame #acrylicpaint

Here are the original paintings for Villin from Somniphobia! I simply paint out the body parts, take a photo of them with my phone and use lasso select in GIMP to carefully cut out the body pieces. Then I can just stick them all together in Unity 😄 #indiegamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #gamedev

New Rover... new Look Home icon! 😎 In the Christmas update we had the new rover model, however we still had the old Look Home icon - this new icon was on our backburner for a while, but now it's finally here! #indiedev #indiegamedev #cosy

Hey everyone! As a part of the Halloween Special's level, you have to follow a trail of sweets to find the lantern 🎃🧙‍♀️ #indiegamedev #gaming #halloween

Ethan Harris-Austin @ethanharris-austin.bsky.social · 23/10/2024

So this character is obviously all 2D, but it changes its perspective / angle of view as you walk around it. I like how this manages to keep the 2D paper-like aesthetic but makes it somewhat work in a 3D environment :D #indiegamedev

I have been lucky enough to help out @freerangedevs.bsky.social with their new HUD for ROVA! After Tom (@developertom1.bsky.social) rewrote the entire Menu System, I was able to add menu transitions and draw some new icons for all of the GUI ready for the Halloween update! #indiegamedev #cozygames
