Made a despawn animation for an enemy and later realized that they don't despawn (at least not while on camera). I could use it in the enemy introduction cutscene, but it may confuse the player, as they will never despawn like this in game. #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #platformer

Riki is having a hard time sleeping. Well... being lost in space while dealing with some unresolved past don't help much. #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #platformer #gamedev #2danimation

Close call (probably require some balancing on the wall speed, don't want to demand a perfect execution on this one) #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #platformer #gamedev

Working on the animations for a new cutscene. Poor Riki can't catch a break. #animation2d #indiegame #pixelart #indiegamedev #platformer

Been drawing some concepts for cutscenes. There are a lot of cutscenes to animate for the third leve of the game. These is going to take forever (ᗒᗣᗕ) #pixelart #pixelartist #indiegame #indiedev #platformer

Riki is a cute and helpless bird, but that doesn't mean he won't show off some of his acrobatic prowess. #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #platformer #gamedev #2danimation

Puzzle time!! Remember, always pay attention to the gravity fields. #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #platformer #gamedev

After (assuming) the player got used to the basic mechanics of the game the levels start to get more complex and challenging. #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #plarformer #space

The backstory of the game's protagonist will be told in the loading screens. Paying attention to them will explain the sequence of events that resulted in the broken bird getting lost in the emptiness of space. #indiedev #indiegames #pixelart #gamedev #2danimation #platformer

2 year of (very slow) improvements in 3 screenshots. Game development is hard (and slow) :T #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #platformer #pixelart #space

In Flightless Star using gravity creatively is essential to advance through the levels. But sometimes it allows for some handy shortcuts, for those that want to challenge themselves and finish the level as fast as possible. #indiegame #indiedev #speedrun #gamedev #platformer #pixelart

Midway through the second level we find CW Leonis (IRC +10216), the dying star surrounded by the carbon dust cloud that once belonged to its outer layer. Reference: science.nasa.gov/image-detail... #nasa #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #platformer #pixelart

With new movement abilities come new challenges. The new dodge move allows the player to significantly change his trajectory, to dodge hazards or safely land on the destined planet. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #platformer #pixelart

A (definitely not dangerous) doppelganger to follow you around, just keep a healthy distance from him and you'll be fine. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

After a lot of tweaks and redraws, I finally reached a satisfying (and cute) running animation for the little bird. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

The Evil Eye (spiral galaxy NGC 4826) watches over the lost bird as the player begins the second level of the game. - PS: I may consider redrawing or make some touch ups later as it looks a far cry from the amazing image it is based on. Reference: science.nasa.gov/image-detail... #nasa #indiedev

A little look at the dash mechanics of the game. Despite being safer on land, Riki still will have to watch out for the dangerous hazards. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Been making some adjustments in the coding and also decided to give the background a little more attention. Despite it being in space, I tried to make it look less empty by adding more elements to the background and making them larger. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

When making levels with gravity fields you may experience some interesting behaviors #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Started to draw some of the other character that will appear on the game, besides Riki. For now we have Riki's older brother (haven't thought of a name yet) and Riki’s best friend, Johnny. #indiegames #indiedev #pixelart
