King Carrot is here! Do not get too close to his crop kingdom or he will peck at you with his big carrot nose! Im afraid it might be too noisy? Maybe I will simplify the leaves on his back. #pixelart #gamedev
Pixel art of an angry looking creature with a carrot-shaped head. His body is composed of a root, the tip of which serves as a tail, and a coat of grass-like leaves.

If steam has mature content filters it should have Gen-AI content filters. I shouldn't need to scrutinise every new game I look at to see if it's an affront to art or not.

Fun fact: They did this exact same thing in 3D with the characters in Vagrant Story All you have to do is duplicate the model, offset it by a few onscreen pixels, and set it to fullbright/tinted. The lit character model hides the polygons of the secondary mesh, giving a nice rim light

It's okay to create at your own pace. Everybody has different life circumstances that allows them to create at a faster or slower pace and that's okay! It also means you shouldn't compare your output to someone else's.

My art has value!! Your art has value!!! If you enjoyed making it, it doesn't matter where it goes or if anyone else likes it. It's important and valuable to make just because it is fun and improves your day/week/life/whatever.

Aaand Daemith's route is ✨finished✨ With that, I think... I think it's done. 65k words, which makes EnchanteX the longest thing I've ever written. Of course, it hasn’t been edited, proofread, tested, or fully illustrated yet, but at least it sort of exists now 🥹 #vndev

once i have some more time and rest i'll write up a more proper post mortem about everything that went wrong. i swear this game really didn't want to get made. even minus the executive dysfunction i had to replace my stylus & deep clean my keyboard. great way to ruin the flow haha

i did it, i made a game (badly) (so, so very badly) but i learned a lot, through tears and not a lot of sleep. it's tough because i thought i had planned things well, but then unfinished tasks from days when i couldn't lock in added up really badly at the end. (1/10)

Some hand-drawn UI elements: the backgrounds, icons and arrows were made in Procreate (as the entirety of the game's assets) 💀✏ If you get to play the build, you'll see how much more satisfying they are in game thanks to our programmer Julien's animations and @marinahascoffee.bsky.social's sfx 🩶

inversion of the idle genre would be to make a game where you micromanage absolutely everything. it's a turn-based simulation game and if you don't instruct a character to breathe during their turn they just die

i know its something i'll tackle when i get there but i do feel anxiety when it comes to "the first project" yeah, it doesn't set the tone for everything i make in the future, but it still is going to be people's first impression of me as a creator for awhile and that's scary! #vndev
