I like to spend my free time thinking about Game Design and then turning those thoughts into works // Check out Tiny Tied Demo on Steam: tinyurl.com/tinytied // Find my other works on: merpui.itch.io
After almost 3 months of working on Gyoza, who has WAY TOO MUCH dialog for an OPTIONAL opponent (🥲) I'm finally done with my rhythm minigame!!! 🎉🕺
The complete update with this minigame should finally be out soon!
Possibly even this year!
Maybe!

This week's progress! I spent the last few days polishing my latest game jam VN~
- the UI is now fully customized
- the minigame is more reactive and gets more difficult with each try
- I learned how to use Aseprite to add sprite variations and a new CG

Currently working in a game jam and facing my new nemesis:
Drawing a human.
What do you mean I now have to pay attention to human anatomy?? How do I draw hands?!
No thanks, I will stick to humanoid animals, demons, robots and other malformed creatures beyond human comprehension.

It's a little sequence for when something shocking happens during the court session. The audience is shown and they shout different lines. It will also use our twitch integration to let chat add their own comments (purple)

Today's progress of my rhythm mini game.
The (placeholder) opponent is here!
They can give you visual signals about which button to press.
They also respond to your input! 😊

Hey #PitchYaGame !
Do you like RPGs where every action has consequences?
Do you like to have multiple ways to progress, like befriending enemies or get on their nerves?
Or simply doing nothing at all?
Then Tiny Tied is for you! (It's in early development, but still!)

Here's a concept drawing of Gustavo, the unofficial first boss of my demo.
Officially, the Player wasn't supposed to meet him until much later.
Officially, Gustavo wasn't supposed to do a lot of things.
Don't look at him for too long or he'll seduce you.

I noticed that I rarely really drew concepts or sketches for my characters. I've implemented most characters directly into the game during the first draft.
That's why I'm catching up a bit, starting with the main character, Mi 🦊
