Also started on some quick, preliminary animations tonight for the player character for this week’s jam

Took a dev break for a few but it’s time to get back to it. These pixels ain’t gonna push themselves 😤

Been heads down doing programming for NES Jam the past week and a half and it’s been so different solely focusing on the coding aspect rather than trying to balance both art and coding. I’ve definitely been able to get deeper here than I have with other projects, but I miss pushing all the pixels 😂

I really loved this one in particular!

Spent the weekend and a little bit of this week so far working on smooth, near pixel perfect zoom in one of my low resolution pixel art games. What a change! Will hopefully get the rest of the kinks out to share something soon.

I really liked how some of these little vignettes came out, too.

This week I experimented with updating my recent jam game to let the player and other entities take in scripted inputs—super useful for making custom in-game animations! #godot #pixelart

It's also time for a little break from jamming and getting back to my regular projects and other adventures in pixel art. I'm so excited to keep pushing forward on more content for Light It Up.

Another jam entry wrapped up! Slime Time is a platform puzzle game with over 750 frames of hand-drawn and animated pixel art. Plus an amazing OST by Jackson Cordes. tbleazy.itch.io/slime-time

Hyped to drop my newest jam game, Zip Zap, sometime tomorrow! The theme for this jam is "Shock," and it's been so much fun drawing and animating in two colors this past week #pixelart #indiedev #godot

Today's adventure in #PixelArt and animation included a new trap door for the game. So many new puzzle elements and ideas coming into existence this weekend!

Made some nice progress implementing a new puzzle feature in Light It Up today for the next chapter! #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #PixelArt #Godot tbleazy.itch.io/light-it-up

What are some ways that folks have found success in promoting their games on itch.io?

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

What is the hardest part of game dev and why is it getting the camera to feel right???

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 11/02/2026

@pixquare-app.bsky.social I’m loving the app for iPad, but I have a question! Can I drag/move animation cels from frame to frame or from one layer to another with drag and drop? I couldn’t figure it out and ended up copying and pasting each cel of an animation I was working on to move it.

Taking a break from code refactoring to work on animations for a new puzzle mechanic #pixelart #gamedev

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

Incredibly happy with the game dev progress today. I started wiring up the levels to use the new trigger system I built, replacing a complicated mess of spaghetti code strewn across all of my levels and entities with a much more robust and flexible node-based approach. #godot

I need to follow more #godot devs on here. Who should I be following? 👀

051

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

I started refactoring the triggering/event system in my most recent game, and it's been way more fun than I could have ever imagined. I have so many new puzzle ideas that are already possible with what I've done so far and I'm only maybe halfway finished? Components in #Godot are the way.

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Got PR previews working for my web game dev workflow with Godot. Now each time I open a new PR against my project I can preview the build before merging and publishing to itch 🎉

So hyped for my latest game jam release, Light It Up! It's a casual puzzle game featuring art, animation and programming by myself; an amazing chiptune-inspired OST by Jackson Cordes; and lovely typography by @v3x3d.bsky.social and @somepx.com to tie it all together. tbleazy.itch.io/light-it-up

3 bugs, 2 levels, and some amount of polish still left to go for my Bloomin’ Lumens update Why does everything in game dev have to take so much longer than it feels like it should take? 😂

Tristan @tbleazy.bsky.social · 02/09/2025

Whoa! So cool to see my game up there alongside several other really awesome games! I’m hoping to publish my post-jam update for Bloomin’ Lumens by the end of the week: new levels, mechanics, and more challenging puzzles!
