POV: You're meeting Alice and Tracey behind the 7/11 to unload three terabytes of hot RAM. You're late, but they're cool. #indiegame #pixelart #gamedev

This week in Guerilla #Gamedev - accepting I'm bad at pixel art, then spending <more than a week actually> on a 3D -> 2D pipeline in Blender. #pixelart #indiedev

This week I made the world a bit more vibrant, and did some code plumbing to make the environment skinnable. I learned how to implement the dragon curve in a shader! #godot #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #traceroot

Put a lot of effort in this week trying to make the different design ideas in Trace Root more cohesive, both graphically and in how the two paradigms fit together. I'm really thrilled with the results and can't wait to get a little bit more polish in and release a demo! #Godot #screenshotsaturday

This week I spent a lot of time diving into UI design to try and clean up the overall aesthetic, while also doing a little technical design to make the two paradigms gel better. Step by step it's approaching demo status. store.steampowered.com/app/4352590/Trace_Root/ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Gave PicoCAD2 a try-- Really interesting workflow but it's just not quite there in terms of what I would need to integrate it into TR. If it could export a rigged model with multiple animations I'd be in heaven #PicoCAD #Godot #Indiegamedev

Replaced a rough 2D backdrop with a quick little intro CS for this dialogue and felt that satisfying little quality ratchet click one more click towards legitimacy #indiegamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Since I've been putting a lot of time into little aesthetic things these last few weeks, I decided to do a little before / after comparison for #ScreenshotSaturday

Happy #ScreenshotSaturday! This week I've spent a lot of time thinking about the readability of powerup deactivation effects- I want it to be easy to tell what's going on when everything else is exploding.

Ok, I guess I'll make one too- 10 games to get to know me. Kind of a weird collection of stuff I think, but all 10 of these things have had a really profound effect on me, either purely as works of art or how I look at games as a medium.

The games listed:

Nuclear Throne
Manifold Garden
Final Fantasy Tactics
Final Fantasy XI
Final Fantasy VII
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
1000XResist
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time
Nier: Automata
Cave Story

After a couple of weeks of refactoring and bug squashing, I finally got a little time to play with aesthetics this week! Just in time for #screenshotsaturday

It's been just over 24 hours since Tetrenga went live on Steam with a global leaderboard and someone has already smashed past anything @toffeee.com or I have managed

Last year at GDC there was someone going around giving out little plastic ducks. I won't be going this year, but whoever you were, know that my partner christened ours Xiao Fen Yazi, and she's become a critically important part of our home.

It's been a hell of a long week, but I managed to get some serious aseprite work done in time for #screenshotsaturday I've been working for a while to dial in an ultra-minimalist RPG combat system that's fast enough to fit into a bullet-hell context. With animations it's starting to feel good!

I'm not wildly in to designing sound effects, so I've been putting this one off for a while #gamedev #sounddesign

Happy #screenshotsaturday ! This week's focus was on replacing the triangle I've been using for a player character with an animated character model. So here's Tracey! #gamedev #godot #traceroot

Been working on this little bullet-hell rogue-like about floating around in cyberspace-- I'm calling it Trace Root for now~ #TraceRoot #Godot
