More games ready to be shipped. Is it one of yours?

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 28/09/2026

Should I do another preorder of ANNIHILATOR games? I have extra boxes and such. Just need to order PCBs.

This was a fun sketch I could explore more.

1. Give me a backstory to this creature. 2. How do I fix that back leg?

G-NOME. That's where my brain went to this morning. lol

Latest run of ANNIHILATOR ready to be shipped to their new homes. I wish I could do this more often. Designing the boxes and manuals is a part of game dev, I enjoy the most. #gamedev #indiedev #gameboy

It's that time again! Well... almost the time. Our local game dev group is hosting another showcase. If you're in the RVA or NOVA area, mark your Wednesday, OCT. 28th as booked. fxbggamedev.com #gamedev #indiedev

I downloaded it. When I get a chance to dig in, I'm going to soft review it. I'm going to see if I can port ANNIHILATOR with it. I actually have updated sprites from a long time ago.

Last night, spent an hour my graphcis, textures and redesigns. I'm getting a steady 80fps too.

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 03/09/2026

I probably get most hyped with makig mock ups.

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 01/09/2026

Dev recap. Funny, how the gun changed the most, even though all I did was change the POS and Angle. Gun is getting a redesign soon. #gamedev #indiedev

So I went down an optimization rabbit hole. New maze generation, arrays, ray cast shooting. It kind of became addicting, trying to get every frame. Seeing what worked and what didn't. #gamedev #indiegame #mazes

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 31/08/2026

Remade the maze generation and optimized the shit out it.

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 25/08/2026

I programmed these things to climb down and come at you from all directions and they also climb over low walls when chasing you. #gamedev

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 23/08/2026

They swarm, the climb, there's lots of them.

I like Color Cycle, as an animation method. this is a bg for @molluscdeflation.itch.io - Here is the Steam page: store.steampowered.com/app/4931080/... #pixelart #gamedev

Lighting does a lot of heavy lifting. I think I have a decent idea for this game.

020

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 17/08/2026

A screen shot from last night. I'm borrowing the code for the maze game I was working on, and using it here. I think I can create some weird sci fi shooter, with dimensional weirdness?

I can check a very unique box on my game dev career. I made the game for this this horror movie about a video game. It's premiering! If you're in the Portland area, go give it a watch for me. portlandhorrorfilmfestival.com/film/sitra-a... #indiegamedev #gamedev

That's more like it. 3D models work a lot better. Even have some light behind them.

020

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 27/05/2026

You could put it in that genre. Items are very important to the game. For example, body temperature. If the player get too cold, you die. If they get to hot, you die. So finding a coat is very important. But you could also find a CD player, and all it does is play an album during that run. *wip

Salt & Pixel @saltandpixel.com · 27/05/2026

I finally got around to working on a maze game. It's the whole liminal, dreamscape thing. But there's twist. Every 60 seconds you dimensionally SHIFT to a new maze. - Collect items to survive - Exploration - Entities - Lot's of places. *Cover is a work in progress. #indiegamedev #gamedev
