Finally figure out how I want to notify player about double jump and dash. When you have no double jump, tail shrink and ears with dash. #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

New trailer is out! I will use this one in my pitch. Don't have high hopes, but in this state of industry and job market, doesn't hurt to try fund my game👀 www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3DK... #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Didn't post for a while, have a lot to do. Was adding localization support, but localization still will be a problem for the future. Updated how I work with dialogs. And working slowly on assets for the forest area. Sneak peek of transition part. #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Adding the hub room. Characters will appear here depends on conditions to chat. And orb collector always will be here to get your collectibles and reveal some information. Will probably work on visuals a of the room a bit more later. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Put some work into visuals, now environment is a bit more interesting, I hope 😅 #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Have finally update how I blur background. Now my life much easier :D #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Made another optional platformer sequence since I have this hook mechanic. Can be easily missed or ignored, but it is fun :D #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Today worked on technical debt I had for some time. Before light was just 2 sprites on the character plus radial shadow sprite it was good enough for prototyping the look. Now I can have as many lights as I want. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Trip is over, can go back to work. Added hiding bushes. Removed invincibility from dash because it was making everything too simple and easy to avoid most of the danger. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Some of the first concepts way before I knew what I want from this game or the scope of it. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Away from my PC for some times, so nothing new to show. But have some footage from the grayscale past. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Got to 300+ may be it’s a small number overall, but to me it’s still a lot. I don’t have much of an audience to market the game, so to see 300+ gamers interested in the game I don’t even know how they found out about is wild. Thanks everyone! #indiedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

Made birds head bigger so you can use it as a platform too, might rethink the design later. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

It’s always takes me forever to figure out how to design levels. At this point I go with the same route I do during drawing, I know what I want but not how until I start sketching something and get more ideas and improvements, may be not the ideal, optimal way, but that what works for me yet.

Working on the hook mechanic for the wheel, not sure how often it will be used, but could be fun when polished. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 28/12/2025

Adding vines, could be a bridge, blockage or a trap in the future. Work in progress. #oloo #indiedev #gamedev

Found a good name for DBA there is no dev on steam with it according to Steam DB and no entity in my state. But there is a itch profile with this name already 🥲

Working on the next area, tweaking this little guy and adjusting colors for the area palette. #oloo #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Ok, now at least if to believe to my wife, controls are much better. Not really sure why I haven’t done it this way in the first place was quite a pain to convert, but yay. Now will have to test it on a few more friends.

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Did my first in person play test, with players outside of my social bubble, oh boy, time to adjust controls and rewrite few things xD

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

I know I'm far from finishing this game yet. But already excited to start another completely opposite genre wise idea I've been brewing in my head for a while xD

shidonski @shidonski.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

Got my results from Rising Tide Challenge, I would say pretty solid, extra motivation to keep going! #oloo #gamedev #indiedev #BlueOceanGames
