Disaster strikes... Development on this is going nicely. Sometimes it's fun to pull little pranks on the player. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Hemiparasitic flowers... Still not ready to properly reveal this project yet but I'm making great progress. I only work on it on the weekends, so I'm not in any rush.

"Seems that loud Air Armada fledgling forgot some of my lessons over the years, but the resemblance is still there. He's even attempted to replicate my signature moves with his own element. Tsk. Arrogant." Check out Arecacura on the workshop here: steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... #rivalsofaether

and here's the first draft I had of actual "stage sequences" as I called 'em. We didn't actually know who would be in the first stage for a while, so I sketched a stick figure of Ayala. Felt like a good "neutral" character to contrast the more bombastic ones later.

Now that Dreams of Aether is finally out, I can start posting in-dev stuff that I thought was neat. For instance, here's the very first gif I recorded of the project. This was testing the main game loop. The lifecounters weren't even in the right spot...

The Wardrift ruins are an awe-inspiring sight, but the remnants that fall guard nothing but their craters. #settlemoon

A floating rocky turret shaped vaguely like a bird skull hovers over some grass. Above it is a starry sky with a broken cityscape on a floating island. The island has large glowing crystals on the bottom.

More Building QoL for Settlemoon! If there's a bunch of small things blocking your way, placing the building there will remove all of them, while still picking up the closest one. You can put all that junk back later. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Hey check out Settlemoon it's my video game store.steampowered.com/app/2443780/... It's a somber idle game where you build a little sidescrolling RPG town. Set things up, close the game for a few minutes/hours, and come back to see how your town's doing. It also has a lot of bug characters!!

A pixel art town, viewed from the side. On the left, a building is being moved by a giant cursor. On the right, some multicolored characters are walking around, including a neon-pink roach.
