Level 2-4 of Possess Quest is basically finished now, may replace some of the shrunk down sprites with proper, smaller versions later, but I think for now I'll move onto making other levels 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Level 2-5 of Possess Quest is now done! Now there's only the bonus level left and I can FINALLY move onto World 3 👀 Fair warning though, going forward I might not share as much since I don't really want to spoil EVERY level or how to beat them 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Hi, new BlueSky people! I make homemade video games for computers, and I do all sorts of other creative work as well. My current game project is Winnie-the-Pooh Hops for Honey. I also tend to be the modern internet's Pac-Man guy. It'd be much appreciated if you can support me by grabbing my games!

been a bit burnt on drawing, decided to make a 3D model of Laz from Battlemage! Turnaround in the replies!
A 3D render of Laz, the main character from a recent game jam project of mine, Battlemage. He is a humanoid character with cat ears and a cat tail. His outfit consists of something akin to a leotard with gold trim, thigh high socks, boots, chunky paw-like gloves, a witch hat, glasses, and a collar around his neck with a golden bell on it.
In this render, he is looking at the viewer in a slightly effeminate pose, knock-kneed and leaning forward, waving at the camera with his hand.Another render of Laz, same character from the previous image.
This one is viewed slightly from behind, with him only slightly looking at the viewer. He is standing on one leg with one foot in the air and showing a paw pattern on the bottom of his boot. His hands are up in a sort of "nya" pose.

the turnaround! the way this model looks is actually very VERY vaguely inspired by kingdom hearts, specifically how characters have shading painted onto their textures instead of using in-engine lighting so his materials are completely unshaded! just textures n vertex colors!

If you'd like to commission me, but don't want to use Fiverr, or would rather not donate through GoFundMe, I also have a Ko-Fi page. ko-fi.com/zeerathezesty Again, I hate to plug things and self promote like this, but it's pretty desperate for me right now. (3/3)

Just a heads up, but there appears to be a scam going around on Discord that targets game developers The scammer will reach out, claim to be a game promoter and offer to promote your game before asking for payment. Be careful! -Jules (see the attached image for a list of red flags to look out for)
