Really can't wait to play this game by @ateliersento.com Their graphic novel, Onibi, is one of my favorites. They've taken the time and care to hand-draw as much of the game's art as possible! youtu.be/wMzVnR4o-xE

I think everyone should watch Nothing But Trouble because it's a sort of last hurrah of a system of filmmaking that simply doesn't exist anymore. A time when a freak like Dan Aykroyd (who was well known as a freak) could get a blank check to make just the weirdest fucking movie you've ever seen

I'm just posting so people know that I'm still working on the game. I Kinda want to talk about the demo. I took it down because it was outdated enough that it doesn't reflect what the game is now, but...

I've been playing through morrowind recently and delighted at how weird the world is compared to Oblivion and Skyrim. All good games, but morrowind has that feeling of not having had the rough edges sanded off.

I'm working on the overworld today and I ended up with more islands than I originally planned but I had to have enough places to explore and hide things. 19 locations in all. #gamedev #slumbernapped #rpg #indiedev

It's still WIP, but this rotating tower effect is mostly solved. It was a pain to get working, but I'm very happy with it. #gamedev #rpg #art #pixelart #indedev

I'm really happy with how this dynamic fog effect turned out! I'm working in gamemaker studio without shaders so this stuff is kinda like a puzzle I get to figure out. Demo👉 kappawumpus.itch.io/slumbernapped #gamedev #slumbernapped #rpg #art #pixelart

A shout out to all the awesome devs out there who are working hard on some of the best, coolest, or most beautiful parts of their game but can't share them publicly for story/spoiler/other reasons. It will be amazing when the players finally play it, I can't wait! #gamedev #indiedev

Sometimes you just need to make another huge animated sprite to make something read the right way, I needed the player to see that the oil flow was stopping. kappawumpus.itch.io/slumbernapped #gamedev #rpg #screenshotsaturday #art #pixelart youtu.be/K9xrZ3cmwVY?...

The next logo will be a color you can't see with the naked eye that makes you hear an atonal half chord when you look at it causing you to experience two hours of lost time.

Unity just killed it's self. Even if they roll back the changes, they've destroyed their reputation and any trust in the engine that developers still had.

Been doing a lot of pixel art for my game lately. This is going to be a background for a shop.
Pixel art for an in-game shop for the indie game Slumber-napped, Black light-lit room with a bean bag chair and a dragon-themed incense burner, a lava lamp, and a black; light poster of a dragon hung on the wall.

Whenever I play D&D, I tend to doodle between rounds of combat, anyways I've made some important design revisions to popular sea life.
Pencil line drawings of A dolphin with human legs where its tail  aught to be. Another of a manatee with human arms instead of flippers that has a tattoo on its bicep of a heart that says mom on it. Last ,  starfish that's equipped with a miniature human hand at the end of each one of its five appendages. All draw by some absolute goober during a session of dongeons and dragons.

Not going to lie, most of my dev time goes to adding bespoke weirdos to the game. They all have unique dialogues.
A pixel art screenshot of the indie game Slumber-napped. a child stands on a wooden dock perched on a cliff, It's night. A Rag-a-muffin man made of patchwork sits at a microphone ready to read slam poetry to anyone within earshot.
