My friend Roselund, for an old game idea 🐉 #Illustration #Godot

Screenshot of an old video game WIP of mine! In the foreground is a drawing of Roselund, a pink hydra with three heads and lilac fins. In a game dialogue she is saying 'and hey, before you go - could you just scratch that fin for me?'. Behind her is the game world itself, a hand-drawn isometric 2D land featuring a lit building against a dark verdant background, and a glowing gold fantasy orrery. #GameDev

Yes! It is simple but reliable... and you can also take advantage of Helix's multi-selection with options that let u select all of the same symbol etc very easily

I've been connecting Helix to #Godot instead of using the internal script editor recently, and it's awesome! I have the benefit of vim-style selecting/editing and multiple panes, but get to keep Godot's error checking and autofill thanks to its LSP #GameDev

Screenshot of different Godot scripts open in the Helix text editor, connected to the engine via an LSP. #Programming

Today I finished putting up this big pin-board, with linen stretched and stapled by me!! It has a mix of my art, and things that my friends have sent to or made for me, which are really precious ;u;

Photo of a big pin-board behind my desk, with a lot of art, posters, illustrations, and cards pinned to it.

Also, I’m a big fan of the sheer noodle-ness of this ‘sura, xP

Mannn those spellwork weapons are SO good #Asura #GW2

Something that came up in a few chats was that people were after some more flat space to build in! So I've added a new beeg island in the bay in front of Ratchet's vessel

Picture of a new empty island in my #GuildWars2 fan game, Jade Spring.

We have all been BAMBOOZLED, as the GUITAR sound is in fact a PIANO, shout-out to this little guy for providing most of the sounds your ears see here!!!

Background music I've been putting together for Dwelt! "Mysterious funk" seems to be the consensus... xD 👻

I started playing Guardian, specifically Firebrand this weekend! Took him to raids yesterday and had a lot of fun... actually I've changed his fashion since this pic, so I'll have to share that later too 😛 #Asura #GW2

Picture of my Firebrand asura in Guild Wars 2. His name is Slylent Knight and he has white hair, and is wearing purple armor and wielding luminescent blue weapons. #GuildWars2

Fresh new buttons 😇 icons are from the awesome open source Remix Icons (remixicon.com), everything else is hand-painted #GameDev

Improved painted buttons for Settings, Screenshots, and Gadget Pane in my game Dwelt. #GameDev #Godot.

Alec 🌸 @slyllama.net · 14/09/2026

Its real UI is developing too, though :P Dwelt plays similarly to Jade Spring (albeit with more dynamics, puzzles, and synergies), but I want the UI to be much more streamlined especially interacting with things in the world

Painted UI for my game, Dwelt. #GameDev #Godot

072

Alec 🌸 @slyllama.net · 14/09/2026

It's impressive!! And it was quite painless to implement

Alec 🌸 @slyllama.net · 07/09/2026

Very silly #GameDev placeholder painting... you gotta have some fun with it eh xP

Older UI layout for Dwelt, mainly painted, featuring a worried-looking cat.

I've been sick :( but cool stuff has been happening! I got most of my stuff moved over from Github to Codeberg... here's a teleporter-thingy I've been working on, too

Screenshot of a teleporter model from my game, Dwelt. It is a gold ring in the style of a gyroscope inlaid with purple lighting. In its center is a cluster of glowing purple nebulae. #GameDev #Godot

A fun experiment recording piano in #GuildWars2!! A bit of improv... I use the standard keybindings (1-0, F1-F5 for semitones) 🎵

Jade Turret concept I did as a fan project for #GW2 which eventually led into Jade Spring (and got repurposed as the "attenuator" music box"!)

Concept art and writing for a "jade turret" a robot housed in a small pavilion. Made as a fan project for the End of Dragons expansion for Guild Wars 2. #Art #Concept

Also, that's the wordmark design I settled on!! I scribbled it onto a piece of paper, scanned it, then just vector/path tooled over it until it made some kinda sense... I'm quite happy with how it looks on the main menu (which moves in parallax with the mouse, I'll have to share that later)

Picture of the main menu for Dwelt, showing the player robot in the middle of the screen against a dark red landscape. #Godot

Wording I've been playing around with for Dwelt... I'm interested in "cozy" moments becoming more special when set against more contemplative/darker areas... it's probably not good to say "melancholy" in a description xD but that's really what I want, the despondence/hope co-existence #GameDev

$Wording for Dwelt's description. "Dwelt: Iron Solstice is a cozy building and gardening game, where hope and melancholy both co-exist in rich steampunk environments that are yours to explore and heal. Design, build and garden in Dwelt: Iron Solstice, a steampunk game set in an overgrown post-apocalyptic world, featuring diverse environments to cultivate, and robust construction features. Play as a robotic armature, seeking to heal and rejuvenate a planet abandoned by humanity in the aftermath of a cataclysmic war. Unlock building components by cultivating and gardening each land — using them to build and decorate your own settlement — and begin to heal and reconnect a fractured planet." #Dwelt$

Yes, yes... 🦕 the dino plush robot hoodie is CRITICAL to the plot #GameDev

Map I drew for a #Myst Age idea I had! Nothing to see here, just a huge mechanical hand lying on a swamp…

I've been getting back into #Myst Online (Uru) more recently and exploring and reading, there are so many amazing places there!!!

Gotta-otter! #GW2 not quite caught up on story, so I was trying not to look at and spoil any details on the map xD the fly-thru was so beautiful and I really wanna give it some time to explore

My Guild Wars 2 asura, Slyghtly Eepy, with her pet otter!

Happy Monday!! I've made progress on #Dwelt and wanna share some more on it, so I've been working on developer journal videooo... hopefully I'll have it done this week

$Screenshot of the opening of my "Dwelt: Development Notes #1" script. "Hey, I’m Alec! I'd like to talk about the project I've recently started working on, called Dwelt: Iron Solstice. It’s a game with a mix of building, land-clearing, and puzzle-solving, set in a post-apocalyptic world where you play as a robot, helping to heal and reinvigorate a vibrant but fractured landscape. Dwelt is an evolution of Jade Spring, a Guild Wars 2 gardening and building fan game. I released Jade Spring at the beginning of this year, and I've been so happy to see..." #GameDev #Godot #JadeSpring$

Slowww progress but the game is beginning to take shape, it's been fun expanding on ideas from Jade Spring and adding deeper claiming and building mechanics
