more messing with the backgrounds now with chill vibes courtesy of new fog and particles #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer #metroidvania

Oh yeah there's plenty of misaligned stuff, this test background is thrown together like a pile of rubbish

Inspired by old Sonic games from Sega Genesis! I find these little animations very endearing

Thanks for trying it out! Hole 17 has been getting flack, it's on the list for a post-jam patch-relase

dang brother that's a vibe

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

It needs some tweaking, yeah. I've already dropped it down a bit. Also replaced Unity's lens distortion with my own for more control, as the default made running around in the game quite nauseating 🤢

oh damn, I've started with the same one!

Damn that's lovely! How are you handling water reflections?

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

looks nice! Is that a homegrown crt shader? I'm curious because I've also been poking away at a simple one lately :)

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

the main menu screen is actually composed of many screens featuring my bastard child of a CRT shader #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

Great choice for graphics! Very clean and inviting, and also easy on the eyes

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 09/03/2026

behold! it moves!! Rendered fully in Unity now. Still missing the CRT shadow mask. #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Don't learn how to draw. Forever hide behind CRT shaders instead. Be a man. (Mockup, trying a simpler art style because I want to get somewhere with this project 🐛) #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

Been a real pleasure following how your project grows. Doubly so as a Nuclear Throne enjoyer 😄

Just add that feature you've been thinking about. It's not scope creep, you wanted to add it from the beginning anyway. Don't worry about the roadmap, everyone does this all the time. It won't hurt.

A painting of a man holding a brush and easel. Behind him a skeleton playing a violin whispers into his ear.

Dang, that loading animation is just the right amount of juicy, great work!

some days it really do be the same damn thing over and over again. Time to once again establish the supremacy of printing lines over any other conceivable method of debugging #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 15/01/2026

Thanks! Took some tweaking 😄

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 14/01/2026

Lovely colors and atmosphere!

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

You can now talk to a red box that ominously disregards gravity to engage with the free(?) markets. (I added shops, the game has shops now) #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

Disregard the abhorrent artifacts on the floating bits - somebody hasn't gone back to retouch the animation after switching to a forced low-resolution rendering 🤡

look at my boy, he's all grown up. Or at least showing promise of getting out of puberty #gamedev #unity2d #indiedev #platformer

Most playtests begin running through this precarious hallway. This time I changed it just enough for a poor enemy to get Han Soloed into the wall😩 #gamedev #indiedev #unity2d #platformer

Inspired by this lovely vid: www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUaF... Gamedev art isn't pulling any punches so I'm relaxing and remembering how to paint :) Simple shapes, simple lighting, really just pushing for bold colors and chunky brushstrokes. Lost in the sauce a little

Time to wrap up this #ScreenshotSaturday Did I do tileset work today? Yah Did I also do a completely unexpected sidequest to make an attack for my black bean bag? BET YER ASS BRÖDER #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #aseprite

Tikaro @tikarohd.bsky.social · 16/08/2025

It's (kind of) alive! Aseprite is soooo good for cleaning up pixel graphics, so glad I switched to it. Though I still like Affinity for the initial more painterly stages #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #aseprite

Early #ScreenshotSaturday! Here's a mockup for an abandoned castle in my platformer. Man graphics are tough to make. Also feels like I'm breaking Affinity Photo over my knee to get it to behave how I want 😶‍ Now to clean this up and port it into the game! #gamedev #indiedev #unity2d #pixelart

i really wish i was above external validation but its kind of hard to rebuild an audience here amongst the blue skies - but i will keep at it! so if you want to follow along on our journey making our strange little game please do! ❤️ #gamedev #techart #pixelart
