as of today every single UI element should be controller accessible :) overhauled the soda screen entirely (it was previously drawing in the room instead of to the GUI lmao) and fixed the "Are You Sure?" screen to work at any resolution and with more than just the mouse.

Good new(t)s! the next release of NEWT will have greatly improved controller support! Controller support was already in the game but the default bindings were weird and there was no way to change them, both of which change now!!! #gamemaker #gamedev #indiedev

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 02/06/2025

Do you know the difference?

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 02/06/2025

WOW shouts out to AttachPoint! now Newt can finally fulfill their dreams of wearing a funny hat

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 31/05/2025

sneak peek of the revamped tutorial im working on (will be out as soon as its done)

021

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 22/05/2025

here are two of the new weapon sprites for this update, but shrunk down to ant size! any guesses??

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 22/05/2025

i think this game is cursed

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 21/05/2025

i just adore how messy this game gets just by playing normally. When i first envisioned the game this is EXACTLY what i had in mind, if not even messier.

010

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 20/05/2025

Here's just a little uhh... "sneaky preview" at one of the changes that will be in the next build! I changed the display of health to be drawn ingame instead of a series of sprites, so i can do stuff like half-damage.

022

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 17/05/2025

Added a couple new icons on the main menu! I feel like the first two are self explanatory but the third one opens up an email to the Bug Report email, with the subject BUG REPORT already written. Makes it feel a bit more professional :)

Sneak peek at the new hitscan rework, specifcally how it allows for the use of the Home Range Soda (the one that gives you homing shots)

122

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 10/05/2025

sorry its been a while! heres a sneak peek at how the games shaping up, specifically in regards to the level generation :)

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 01/04/2025

Ok guys, im restarting the project as a 3d platformer instead. Heres some screenshots

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 09/03/2025

a brief video just showcasing the quit confirm screen and its many smug phrases. easily my favourite part of the new update #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Oomfie finally followed back lol

040

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 22/02/2025

also i very slightly touched up this sprite and although the difference is subtle i really think the new one is much better

053

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 22/02/2025

heres are my other sprites so far. making a series of sprites like this is so therapeutic to me. its the same as my weapon sprites

a 24x24 sprite of a familiar looking red mushroom

a 24x24 sprite of a powerup thing from Gradius

a 24x24 sprite of the LAser Scope (the NES peripheral)

a 24x24 sprite of a Tim Hortons coffee cup circa 2009 before they redesigned it

122

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 22/02/2025

pretty proud of this sprite. also the effect is completely busted lol

132

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 16/02/2025

shout outs if you recognize this one :)

121

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 15/02/2025

made a sprite for a new passive, now i just gotta figure out what its gonna do lol i love pixel art so much....

111

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 09/02/2025

EVIL DEATH ROLL... NOW (I added a bunch of stuff to their enemy scripting because they were by far the lamest (relative to how intimidating they SHOULD be))

274

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 06/02/2025

IMPORTANT!! TLDR: I need people to test NEWT before the 10th cus I need to submit it to two different things and I don't want it to crash a bunch It'll just take like 20-60 minutes, and I would be very happy if you did :) TEST BUILD HERE: sonyplaytation.itch.io/never-ending...

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 01/02/2025

Okay I got it working :) This system already looks AND FEELS much better.

123

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 31/01/2025

currently working on concepts for a better "eating things" animation system. I wanna find ways to make it faster without breaking it, and maybe even ways to let you do it while moving but I KNOW that would break it.

012

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 29/01/2025

the weapon is a little OP cus its a pistol that gets crits on headshots plus the altfire is a knife that can quickly destroy shots, so i made it so the knifes hitbox is only a single pixel wide so if you wanna go nuts you have to have REALLY good aim too

100

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 29/01/2025

Not a crazy weapon or anything but I'm very happy with this sprite

111

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 29/01/2025

Hello again! I have been trying to get back to development but school is very busy. Recently added some minor polish to the way recoil looks, the guns now kick up a bit when they fire. I quite like it :)

242

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 29/12/2024

updated this guy. CRAZY!

012

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 29/12/2024

Oh yeah, here are my most recent weapon sprites!! They seem to improve with each and every weapon :) #pixelart #spriteart #pixelartist #indiedev #solodev #aseprite

Preview of the new death screen i added today :)

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 16/12/2024

are you stupid?? am I stupid???

010

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 11/12/2024

Here are the messages to my private notes discord where i first came up with the idea. November 25th 2023 was the day this all started Also the day that i came up with the famous title we all know and love (eventually).

010

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 10/12/2024

Update on the bugs in the video: I need to sleep.....

A series of discord messages from my account that say : "ok i stayed up way too late trying to fix this, and i DIDNT, but im close
i fixed the hitbox jank, and you swim the right way every time now, but ONLY if you enter the water while facing the right.....
i have no fuckin idea why that happens but its at least a diagnosis which means its fixable
i was only so upset because it FEELS so fuckin good and im ridiculously proud of myself for it.
its genuinely gonna be a huge asset to the game"

110

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 10/12/2024

These are the sprites i made for it. I was gonna give him the same blank expression as usual but i thought it would be cute if he was really happy when he got to swim :)

110

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 10/12/2024

My new swimming mechanic is SOOOO smooth if you ignore the few bugs that i cannot for the life of me figure out :(((( #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 09/12/2024

011

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 06/12/2024

shouts out to @somepx.com for making these cool fonts I bought to use for my ammo counters! (NEW on the left, OLD on the right)

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 05/12/2024

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 05/12/2024

010

NEWT🦎 @newt.website · 03/12/2024

A few hours into making the first boss and its kinda already shaping up tbh. its at least recognizable as a boss fight. Can't wait for it to be done! #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker
