#CraftpixJam Day 8: "TEN MORE ORE!", a 2D-Mining-Roguelike with a rope. Good progress but UI is hard. But even a very simple lighting system creates a lot of atmosphere. #Craftpix #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam #GameMaker

#CraftpixJam Day 3: Creating a 2D-Mining-Roguelite was not as productive as yesterday, but I started working on the upgrade shop. Using #GameMaker s new-ish UI-Layers for the first time, we'll if I can find a good workflow. #Craftpix #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam

What do you think about a frog being the shop owner where you buy upgrades? sprite: pop-shop-packs.itch.io/frogs-pixel-...

#CraftpixJam Day 2: Creating a 2D-Mining-Roguelite where you are bound by the length of your rope, which is also the only way to get back to the surface. Today I am quite happy with the progress. Also did some recoloring and rearranging of the assets. #Craftpix #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam

This was the first day creating a mining game for #CraftpixJam. Like always, everything took way longer than I thought :D #Craftpix #Pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #gamejam

For the most part, my @dunderbeckgame.com creature designs are delivered like this. That's because this is the most information needed to go to production. For an artbook of the bestiary, I'd want to do much more developed renders. Would you buy a Dunderbeck monster book?

A Pixelart Mining Game with an interesting camera view where you have to dig down into a planet to find and lift the valuable planet core to sell it for profit. #PitchYaGame

WIZARD STRUT Digital drawing. A wizard, he struts.

Digital illustration of a wizard strutting next to a desert structure at dawn or perhaps sunset, aurora visible in the sky. The blue-skinned wizard wears a big purple hat and tattered robes over a very short off-white bodysuit which ends at the thighs. He has long white hair and beard. He wears a lot of gold jewellery. Illustration by Alex Bertram-Powell, 2026.

This is "Holter-Die-Poltergeist", my final unreal course project (and the first ever unreal game I made). You can download it from oldbomb.itch.io/poltergeist or read about the development here: www.notion.so/HOLTER-DIE-P... #indiegame #indiedev

Fake window shadows using "Light Functions" (Gobos) in Unreal Engine 5.6. The light beams are simple translucent textures on a cone mesh with a scrolling dust texture. Good performance on low end hardware bc no volumetric fog and no shadow casting is used for this effect.

Light flicker reacts dynamically to the enemy's proximity (Unreal Engine 5.6)

finally ready to start showing a little bit of this off - my OS simulator game now has its own custom markup language i'm in the process of programming! it also currently uses the scribble library by @jujuadams.com for text rendering. this is all in game footage! #gamemaker #indiedev #gamedev

shader: color quantizing, mapping colors to a arbitrary color palette using different color models AND dithering, all at runtime (and no matter how bad I am implementing this, framerate is still over 900), and I can mix all these effects: #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker #solodev #shadermagic

There is a short but interesting article by Billy Basso on how he did rendering in #AnimalWell but the GIFs in the article are not available anymore. I digged them out of the internet archive, so I will post them here: blog.playstation.com/2022/07/20/h... #gamedesign #pixelart #shadermagic

I made a 3D-Lighting System inside a 2D-Game Engine to make a 2D-Game in 3D but look like 2D. Makes sense, right? #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #pixelart #gameboy
