Now that I’m done and taking a second look, this might be better used as a talking animation than a laughing animation. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Haha yeah! Half the reason I’m doing all of these are for animation practice. But I did start doing them because I needed some NPC laughing animations in my game. And as I do more extreme or cartoonish ones, it makes me wonder, should I make a goofier game? Ha

Confession time: I cheated in 8th grade anatomy class. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Started with hands covering the mouth while giggling but turned into tiny clap for @dinchenix.bsky.social #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

I didn’t start out trying to make him look crazy but that’s just where the art process took me #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

One big laugh followed by some chuckles…at least that’s what I was going for 😄 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Short dialogue between Dave and a squirrel about making a pot of coffee

Back to something simple. Not sure if it looks like a laugh but it looks fun! #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

Sorry for your loss. I was not aware of that when I made and posted this silly animation.

Lou Bagel @loubagelcombo5.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Okay yeah, maybe don’t ask about this laugh animation…just look the other way 😳 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

At first I was going for a Peter Griffin type laugh. It ended up moving towards looking like an Italian hand gesture or something. #pixelart #laugh #indiedev #gamedev

Won’t be using this in my games anytime soon, simply for the fact I don’t want to double all my art and redo everything. But also not sure if I like it and would take some practice to get good at it.

A little experiment with a different type of sub-pixel movement. Took a simple two frame animation and doubled the sprite size so could add more in between frames. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

A Laugh with Child-like Joy 😃 #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev I can’t wait to watch the Hawks next season. Off-season feels too long. Been watching award winning @jayzawaski.bsky.social to mentally prepare.

You think this animation will get the player's attention to come over to talk to the NPC? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Lou Bagel @loubagelcombo5.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Can you guess the inspiration or reference I used for this laughing animation? #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev Obviously cartoonish and not realistic but I am finding that practicing more extreme or expressive animations have been really good practice. Better to try now before using in a game.

Lou Bagel @loubagelcombo5.bsky.social · 26/08/2026

Look and laugh. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev Not sure about the jaw movement and a bit jumpy, but just trying new things.

Exported extra frames into the gif but though it looked like a glitch matrix effect lol #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

For #screenshotsaturday here is what I currently have working for NPCs having convos with each other. #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

What would you do if your co-worker started laughing at you like this? @pixelshorts.com is such a jerk. #pixelart #indiedev #laughing #animation

Lou Bagel @loubagelcombo5.bsky.social · 21/08/2026

Working on getting some functions setup to have NPCs do different things. Hard part is getting them to stop what they are currently doing, even if in the middle of it, without any bugs. #indiedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

Here is a #pixelart animation of @retronator.bsky.social laughing. Put that in your academy!

Thanks! This is a kind of mini-game modeled after clue, so detective by process of elimination, ha. I'm making small games using the same project to build on top of the art and features, so this is the first one that is more of a simple stealth type of game: loubagel.itch.io/daves-coffee
