スライムになっちゃった！💙 (We became slimes!) #chiikawa

Hachiware, Usagi, and Chiikawa are now little translucent slimes with no mouths, similar to the slimes we have in our upcoming indie game Slime 64 c:

For now, I've got key art for mine and @waveparadigm.com's dev slimesonas! You might be able to find us and the rest of the Slime Team crew in the full game hopping around if you look hard enough c: #slime64

Left: My slime is cerulean blue in color, with a blob shape at the top made to look like bangs. I have little emerald "slimerings" since slimes don't have ears, and rimless rectangle glasses

Right: Adam's slime is gray with a big gray wizard hat, thicker eyebrows and big square orange tinted glasses for blue light filtering

Remembered how much I adore @terminalmontage.bsky.social's The Fruitless Quests of Nabiu after having our monthly bingewatch of his channel. Absolutely charming character designs, and the animation is stellar as always. Karoto is a darling, and we can't wait to see more c: 💙 #indieanimation

The man speaks truth. The core of it is a pretty solid N64-ish collectathon platformer. But it is just a wild tangled web of loops, secrets, alternate solutions and stream-of-conciousness weirdness. It's also going cheap over on Fanatical right now: www.fanatical.com/en/game/mr-s...

Slimes of the World Demo Fact #1: To make it feel a bit more like its own world, I bespokedly hand drew a majority of the textures (don't worry, I got WAY more efficient with my space and size usage as I gained more experience LOL these are very early first attempts) #indiedev #indiegames #gamedev

So now that the demo's out, how's about we properly introduce you all to some of our characters? First and foremost, we have our titular protagonist, Calico Wilder (voiced by @dylanrayowen.bsky.social)!

CALICO WILDER
Voiced by Dylan Ray Owen

A bright-eyed feline, Calico Wilder is a Relic Hunter with an endless curiosity for the secrets the Ancients left behind, and the passion to seek them out.

While a bit of a careless thrill-seeker with a cheeky sense of humour, Calico has a heart of gold at his core, always willing to help someone in need.

Upon finding the Crystal Blade, which he wears proudly on his chest, he discovers he now has the ability to summon energy swords, a power he'll need to use to the fullest in this adventure.

some weeks you get lots of gamedev done and other weeks progress crawls forward and then you beat yourself up about it and that doesn't help so progress is even slower and this is all good and normal and healthy actually

🚨🚨 SLIME 64 IS COMING IN 2027 🚨🚨 It's a retro-inspired 3D collect-a-thon platformer with an emphasis on exploration and schmoovement. Play as elemental slimes who combine their powers, collect Bells & Whistles, and take down a robotic enterprise threatening the world!

In light of more cases of AI usage popping up in the game industry as of late, I wanted to take the opportunity to reaffirm: Calico Wilder *does not* and *will not* use AI. Everything my team and I do for this game is 100% human-made.

my latest revelation especially for my games is that time spent agonizing over the architecture of a one-time use case is time spent Not Building That Use Case better to build something slightly sub-optimally and have it exist at all vs hemming and hawing
