Idk I thought we were making cool, unique, soulful worlds in old video games. It's hard for me to learn that so many of us - players and creators alike - looked at what we made as "the best we could do at the time" and what we were apparently hoping for all along was just total photorealism.

Posting stuff on the orange social is not for the faint of heart but they do provide good insight sometimes. Rework of the concept art for the protagonist. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelarr #darkfantasy

I've been brainstorming the design for the protagonist of my game and this is probably what I'm settling on. Would love to hear some opinions! Do you like her? #gamdev #indiedev #pixelart

I finally have the base mechanics for my game down and it really is incredible how much faster that made creating content. I hope I can try out a demo soon, the main obstacle is now animations as I am not skilled with those and I don't really enjoy the process #indiedev #gamedev #gamedeveloper

Here are some of the enemies, but not all of them. I'm keeping a few hidden to surprise you in the game:> #indiegames #pixelart #gamedev

Gotta draw the monstrous even in a VtM chronicle This is my character Leer and they're a Nosferatu with a body that has no discernible feature and a mind with little to no memories. #vtm #pixelart #art #monster

Keeping on trying to get better at drawing and designing armor, but also posing and anatomy now. I'm pretty happy with how this rework is going #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #fantasy #armor #medieval

Despite me loving dark fantasy I never got into armor, but I realized this has to change since I'm setting the world in a medieval dark fantasy. Still a long way to go but on the right is a first redesign of the guard's helmet from an npc portrait #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Working on various scripts for my game, so here's a 1bit drawing of a VTM chronicle npc I'm running. A Ravnos stole the printing colors in the city and the press had to print her photo with only 2 when she crashed a plane stolen from England on the prince's mansion #vtm #pixelart #1bit #ttrpg

I don't know if the game I'm working on will have cutscenes, but I made one to test things out. I like the result but animating was pretty tedious. Might still use this technique if I decide to go for a small amount of cutscenes #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart #animation

This is Misericorde, an enemy I designed for the game I'm working on. I really like the result but damn if they're gonna be a pain to animate with all these folds and sources of secondary motion #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #angel

You start working on a turn based game and suddenly your favorite thing to draw is perspective stuff #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart

So a lot has happened in my life. I'm slowly getting back into making games, in the meanwhile enjoy a drawing of Thema, Queen of Summer, from a changeling the lost chronicle I'm STing 💜 #pixelart #changeling #ctl

Made a magic portal using shaders. Turned out pretty cool I'd say. I'll probably work on other cool effects for a while now, but progress has slowed down a bit cause the holidays are over and I'm back at my full time job #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

I wasn't sure on a few things regarding Our Last Dance. I had many ideas but couldn't settle on how to portray them. I took some time to think and realized the best thing I could do is make it a roguelite. The challenge is portraying the plot correctly, as it's an uncommon one for the genre

A mock-up comic page showing the intro sequence to my indie game, Stagnant Gold. 🟡 Surely Aurelio is a stable, perfectly nice guy. 🙂👍 #zweiart #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #stagnantgold
A comic page showing the main protagonist running through what seems to be an empty void filled with flowing and floating blood, and ending up facing a large fleshy creature with gazing red eyes.

The text speaks from an external view to the protagonist:

"The night is long, and cold.
And you've been search, haven't you?
For grief, for guilt.
For so, so long.
And you finally found it...
The Darkness Itself.
Are you... angry?"

I think I can finally present what I'm working on, despite being in very early stages This is Our Last Dance, my passion project about killing (maybe kissing??!) necromancers and vampires while being dripped out of your mind. If you like what you see do drop a follow <3 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Got a dialogue system I'm decently satisfied with working. I should probably introduce the game at some point, shouldn't I? #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Another intro story panel! This one was definitely more than I could chew but it turned out alright in the end :) #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev
