"Huh, Story Nerd hasn't been super active lately, I guess he must be working hard on his game or something-" The ever so humble growing pile of Teto fanart in my folders: #kasaneteto #pixelart

NEW project for class, since the physics of the last one were pissing me off T-T #gamedev

Latest look at the grappling hook in this mini-project for class! Grappling physics are lowkey pissing me off but they're working! Just gotta polish it! #gamedev #physics

Working on a small project for my art history class, and I'm adding a grappler. Pretty excited for this project, but I only have a month to get it done, so hopefully I can deliver in time! #gamedev

Very early footage of some redone dashing animations and the current state of the game! The combat feels much faster despite the reliance on stamina, and the new animations are helping a lot! Not quite done with the visuals, but we're on the way! WIP footage obviously #gamedev #pixelart

Currently working on a stagger system for Punch Punch Punch! Strong and slow attacks will build up fatigue, and if it reaches 100, the boxer will become staggered. Using a strong punch then will force them to fall! #gamedev #2dfighter

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 25/11/2025

Currently working on redoing more of the animations, and I added a cross punch to help the jab feel more varied when using it back to back. Now I just have...all...of the other animations...to redo... this is gonna take a bit #gamedev #animation #pixelart

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 22/11/2025

Reworking the animations for PPP! It's gonna take a while, but here's the new idle! #gamedev #animation #pixelart

Thumbnail for the upcoming devlog! Not another Punch Punch Punch one yet (still working on it, I promise!) but a game jam experience I had this year that I want to talk about! Also, first time drawing my thumbnails, let me know if you like it! #gamedev #devlog

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 08/11/2025

I've been forgetting to post updates lately (sorry!) but I'm currently working on particle effects and in general upping the visuals of Punch Punch Punch! Let me know your thoughts! #gamedev #particleeffects

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Working on adding a dynamic camera to the game! The camera getting closer really shows how rushed some of the animations are, so I guess I gotta update those next... #gamedev

I'm hosting my very own (and FREE) game design class! It's going to be run over the month of November, and will teach the basics of how to make a game from nothing but an engine! Sign up here! - forms.gle/CXcJMN2SoK8a... #gamedev #class

I would HIGHLY recommend any devs make a powerpoint about their projects. It's just fun ngl, and helps me with visuals at very least. Not my GDD, but my little baby nonetheless 🤧 #gamedev

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

Testing out a lot of different color palettes while I'm going through changing the visuals. Let me know what your favorite is (might have to click on the image to see it all T-T) #gamedev #pixelart

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

These are just some of the responses I got on the game, and I'm not even kidding when I say I teared up a little reading them for the first time. I had done it. I had proved myself. I had changed.

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Not to say critique is bad, but the actual discussions were less critique and moreso bashing and not having the fundamental understanding of game design. So, I asked my partner if they had faith in me as an artist, and they said no. They followed up with this to further explain.

Ngl since I've already made the game for Monkey Jam, I don't know exactly what to post about it, BUT I do have a story that can go along with it! Here's my personal journey as an artist, told via game jams! #gamedev #monkeyjam2025

Working on some new particle effects, sweat comes off if you have stamina, but if you're out of stamina, there's blood instead! What do you think of the effects? Too hard to notice right now? #gamedev

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 22/09/2025

New logo for Punch Punch Punch! I'll have some gameplay to show off pretty soon, but it feels great to almost be done with the combat and being able to focus on more cosmetic stuff for a bit! #gamedev #logo

Despite everything, I've still been working on BWAG, and I'm focusing on the visuals right now, with this plush defect that makes him follow your cursor. There'll be other subtle differences with the defects, so you'll have to play around and pay attention #gamedev

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 02/04/2025

I'm interested, and I can yap for a while, I'm cool I swear

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

Might be good to share this again 🥱

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 27/03/2025

BWAG Update: These are the hiding spots for the evil little Beans that Bean defects can be found in. Of course different defects will have different poses/animations/skins, but the locations themselves probably won't change. #gamedev

Welp, Unity is making the choice to start implementing more generative AI features into it's engine, and all I can say is this will be yet another W for Godot. I fail to understand how companies can see the massive outcry against AI generated content and features- 1/2 #gamedev #unity

Me, walking by minding my business The local NPC’s response:

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 16/03/2025

BWAG Update: Added in the plush, as well as the accept or reject button. Of course, there are no variants of the plush to reject, nor any other reaction after accepting or rejecting them, but I really like how it all looks right now! Hopefully I can make the whole game eerie though #gamedev

This pitiful form doesn’t deserve arms

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

BWAG Update: This is Bean, the main character sort of. He's a plush that you'll have to check for damages, or any other weird changes. After all, you work at a factory that makes them, so you'll see his face a lot. What do you think of the design? Does it read plush? #gamedev

Spriit Studios @spriitstudios.bsky.social · 12/03/2025

BWAG Update: Next minigame, Bean With A Gun, is a survival horror in the vein of classic FNAF titles! This is the early build of the room, and I think I want to stay with a black and white look. What do you think about the room? (no idea how this'll show up on the site) #gamedev #horror
