Here’s some of the friends you’ll make in my wholesome dinosaur game. What do you think? Any other dinosaurs I should add? Going for a late-Cretaceous ish vibe.

Messing around with adding a little hat store. The idea is to exchange secret golden dragonflies in each level for a random hat, gachapon style (but no duplicates). I need to add many hats still, and animations haha

Everything’s better with hats! Made this lil witchy hat for my game 🧙‍♀️ The idea is to make these unlockable after getting enough secret collectables hidden in each level. What hat should I add next?

Here’s a new concept level for Dino Cleanup I’ve been cooking up during the Halloween season. It was a ton of fun arranging all the awesome new 3D assets my wife cooked up. What do you think?🎃🪦🦖

Thought it’d be fun to try playing my game Dino Cleanup on a CRT since I’m going for a retro aesthetic. It’s kinda hard to capture the magic of the CRT but I hope some of it comes through in this video! 🦖 🧼 📺

Had a lot of fun making another concept scene in #aseprite. This time I tried to make something in a medieval faery story style. What do you think?

Did a little art exercise/concept in the #gameboycolor style in #godotengine today, had a lot of fun. Gotta get used to using colours again after doing so much black and white art lately lol

(P.s. if you can’t tell, Gojira is my favourite band)

I’m working on another big update that adds a “challenge” mode to the catalog version of CranKnight with official Scoreboards! In this mode enemies score you points, and you can layer additional challenges to score even higher!

After two weeks on the @play.date catalog, CranKnight has reached 89 sales, which is way more than I was expecting! Thank you, it means the world to me!

If you’re having fun with CranKnight I’d super appreciate if you spread the word! I’d also love to hear what your favourite weapon combos are!
