Aaaaaaahhhhhh, Sword of the Sea! Seeing them combine everything from their previous games into one is a delight.

LIGHTING!!!!!!!!!!!! This room has been a pain in my ass for so long. Finally, I got it right!

I had a really wonderful day today drawing with some new people. :) Here’s a smol sketch I thought was cute.

A rough drawing of a tree, with grass surrounding it. A blue bird sits atop on of it’s branches.

Subtle change in the second pic, but it REALLY helps. #gamedev

Before. Pixel art of a living room, lighting is warmer.

After. Pixel art of a living room, lighting is colder.

Lighting is hard, but I think I'm slowly getting the hang of how to think about it. #gamedev

i may or may not be experimenting with a new idea for the next few months. 👀

Finished game dev for the night. Now I get to play Wanderstop!!! Woooo!

what a day. showed off a cool game, and other people thought it was cool too. game dev is so sick!

Tunic's soundtrack is so amazing! I've been working on multiple pitches for game funds, and that soundtrack has been helping so much to get me through it. Especially "Flux Is On". It's just so pretty.

I drew Spider-Man during a work meeting, and I think it looks pretty cool. I love his big eyes. Makes me wanna draw him more.

I got to do the Global Game Jams again! I did it with a bunch of wonderful devs, and made one of best Game Jams I've been a part of. I'm so proud of us! It's a diving game about exploring a dead site with old msgs spread throughout. :D neighbourhood-snake.itch.io/millennium-net

first attempt at a colour study; monochromatic #pixelart #colourstudy

A pixel art scene of a beach, using a monochromatic colour schema.

Sim @simorico.bsky.social · 09/01/2025

I never thought colour theory would be so hard. Been trying to get this scene to look right, but it just doesn't look great. I'm gonna have to go back to very very basics, and truly understand it by making small pixel art using different colour schemas for each. Hopefully this will finally work!

I got around to playing FEZ after years of putting it off. What a magnificent game! It feels so influential to modern-day indie game design, pushing the boundaries of how to implement puzzles. It makes me sad that Phil stopped making games, but I guess I can't blame him after all that happened.

A soul's flame, waving its tail in the wind. I like how it looks. It's simple, but it works. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Feels like this year’s gonna be a good year for me. Been trying to set everything up slowly over the past few years, and now it’s time to really get shit done! Hopefully by the end of the year, there will be a demo for Lone Lantern! :D

The streets of a small town in Sicily. This is where Luce finds himself as he spends time with a young soul, the first soul he has to reap. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #indiegames #indie

Two characters, a reaper and a young girl, stand in the streets of a small town in Sicily.

The streets and building are dirty, with no one around.

It’s so wack. I’m getting followers every day, and I haven’t posted much at all. Hi everyone! :D

One thing that really sucks about Bluesky: No GIF support. Most of the things I post are GIFs. I'm gonna have to just deal with that for now until support is added.

Sim @simorico.bsky.social · 11/11/2024

I will slowly repost stuff from my other social media over the next few weeks, so please bear with me if you see the same stuff from there! Thank you! <3

Hi Bluesky, just moved from Twitter. Here's some screenshots from the game I am working on, The Lone Lantern! :D #gamedev #indiegamedev

I am finally here! Hopefully, this new horizon is warm and colourful, instead of dark and draining.
