Hello! Here is the game project I’ve been working on for a while! Tentatively called Astoria.

It’s a 2D isometric exploration/crafting game set on an alien planet!

I’m going to try and start sharing more about it. Definitely more updates to come!

Working on some new fire visuals! Also testing out how it spreads and feels to extinguish. 🔥🔥🔥🧯

Who would dream of hurting them??

I animated this little water splash animation by hand and I think it turned out pretty okay! 🌊💦💦

Adding little ambient audio touches adds a lot to the ✨*~vibe~*✨ Sound on! 🔊🔊

Almost feels like a real rainy day 🌧️⛈️

A little side by side of some creature concepts and then them being alive in-game! 🖌️🖼️🛸

Never hurts to have a little defense to protect your base from attackers! 🛡️🛡️

Have you ever wanted to farm some alien crops? Or explore an alien planet?

In my game Astoria, you can do those things, and also other things too! ✨✨

Here's a fun little blaster animation I'm pretty happy with. I probably put a bit too much detail in, especially the blaster slide moving, but it was fun to do!

Also happy with the sound FX I came up with! 🔊🔊

I forgot I had added this little time-slow feature when using a gadget, caught me by surprise when testing out a few other things. ✨

I think the audio low-pass filter adds a lot! 🔊🔊
