I'm a solo dev from the UK working on a retro platformer about a goose and the enclosure of the commons.

in the process of taking some videos of the game and I have this horrible sinking feeling there are some bugs left in my save systems.... I do not wish to get back into that quagmire just yet haha

each area has one golden egg hidden somewhere for the goose to find. if you collect them all, maybe something cool will happen? #screenshotsaturday #solodev #godot #platformer #egg
the goose characters runs over a bridge with a shiny golden egg just out of reach below

There’s a bit near the end where the guy throws his hands in the air and yells “video games!!” lol

Saw the Resident Evil film. It’s bad unfortunately but not egregiously bad. 2/5, thank you.

making my logo in pixel art which now cannot be easily scaled was one of the many mistakes I've made lol

oh man... I've never properly clicked with a fire emblem game before but I guess I'll need to try again with this one!

working on some music for the nighttime forest level. this one is a bit more chill than the others so far, but I think it fits the level theme #gamedev #gamemusic #forest #trees

The environments look nice but I’m not really feeling young Link and young Zelda, why do they look so weird? Also I’m sure the voice acting will be terrible, as always. Still I’ll almost certainly buy it lol

a fireman's hat is one of the power ups available to the goose, you can use it to put out fires and even have some obstacles bonk safely off of your head #screenshotsaturday #solodev #godot #platformer #bonk

I mean, probably if I did re-write my entire character controller now it would end up slightly better, and re-drawing the UI might improve it slightly... but also if I kept doing these things I'd literally never finish anything

as a beginner game dev i'm learning that one of the hardest things is learning to ignore the voice in your head that is constantly telling you to just start everything over from fresh

yeah sure whatever, let lara croft cook potato stew on her phone for 2m0s of damage resistance who gives a shit anymore
a screenshot from the upcoming remake of Tomb Raider 1. lara croft is looking at her phone in the middle of an ancient ruin, and it's showing her a generic crafting menu, and a png of saucepan of stew that apparently her phone lets her cook for "Damage resistance" if she has 6 potatoes

redrawn the end-of-level private sign so it looks a bit more "wooden" #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

I can’t tell if people are happy or sad about the GTA6 trailer but I do think the kids should try playing a proper game instead, like Yoshi’s Island

think I will try to get a little submission video ready, nice to have a deadline for something, gives me a month to add a little more polish! I also really need to set up my steam page lol

here's all the animation frames for the goose so far! I've been learning pixel art as I go so lots of trial and error, redrawing, etc. pretty happy with this for now. thank you, Aseprite!

I quite like how the point lights look in this nighttime level... but it bugs me a little how they're not very 'retro'-looking. although replacing them with a simple transparent (or dithered?) circle sprite would probably be kind of ugly in comparison. hmmmm...

hi! my name's Jonathan and I'm making a retro-style 2D platformer called GANDER FROM THE GREEN in the excellent @godotengine.org! my inspirations are mostly a mix of the classic Sonic games, Yoshi’s Island, Donkey Kong Country and Mario 3/World.
