Here's a still of the backgrounds for a level in our #indiegame. Each color is on a different layer, moving at a different rate. We call this: Parallax Scrolling, and it creates a sense of visual depth in the level.

We're putting together visual assets for our upcoming #indiegame where you solve puzzles with the help of your own dead bodies.
Here are two early passes at a visual title for Endless You. We chose a retro futuristic font to match the hologram tablet that our main character uses.

It's a view of the abandoned factories from the Ceyaquinn Village, our main character's home! They find safety high up in the trees.

Remember WarioLand? This offbeat platformer had you solving puzzles by giving Wario status ailments.
Our upcoming #indiegame Endless You is a darker take on the concept - dying to solve puzzles.
Get frozen, set on fire, electrocuted, crushed, vaporized, and so much more!

Endless You takes place inside 6 giant factories abandoned long ago by aliens. The machinery has been overtaken by plant life, and broken objects make the spaces quite dangerous.
We took inspiration from settings like The Last of Us and Metroid to shape these spaces.

🎃 Happy Halloween!
Endless You is a game that seamlessly combines charming cuteness with existential horror.
Our adorable main character, Wik, is able to revive from death, and use their previous body as a platform or weight to solve puzzles.

In #gamedesign, knowing what kind of head space you're asking your players to be in is so important, but rarely considered.
Some games are best learned passively, while others require active learning. Both are good! But switching between these game styles can be disastrous. Here's how we learned 🧵

You'd be surprised how well a background in script writing applies to #gamedev. And not just narrative design!
Characters in a story have tactics, ways they approach problems. When these tactics fail, they must adapt to overcome the problem. This is a basic building block of stories.(1/2)

Our #Indiegame may be 2D, but it has the depth of 3D light through an awesome feature in #godot. By combining different maps of a sprite, you can define how the light shines off of it.
1) In game result
2) visual texture
3) normal map
4) specular map
