With Generic Bird Game officially done, I did a little pixel art doodling to relax lol
#pixelart #dots #pixquare

A pixel art sprite of a stout, humanoid character with a yellow body and purple pants. The character has a simple face with purple eyes and red details, outlined in a dark reddish-brown. It's centered on a light blue background with a small shadow at its feet.

Generic Bird Game is officially online!

I’ve just added new items, a parallax background effect, and unique sprites for every power-up. Give it a play and let me know what you think: moizlyc.itch.io/generic-bird...

Just polished the Game Over screen for my Generic Bird Game in Godot. Now, every time it dies, it lets out a fart with a randomized pitch. It is the little details that keep development fun 💨

Showcasing the new shrink power-up! Not only does it make you smaller, but it also reduces your weight, making jumps feel much lighter and more responsive.

I'm not quite sold on the current sprite design for the power-up though. Any ideas?

Just implemented the Ghost power-up. For a few seconds, you become invulnerable and can pass through pipes, though you'll slow down slightly while inside them.

Progress feels great 👻

The second power-up for Generic Bird Game: Focus Pills! 💊

Picking these up slows down time and makes your flight more precise for a few seconds.

Adding the first power-ups to Generic Bird Game!

First up: the Heart. It grants a second chance if you hit a pipe or crash into the ground, keeping the run alive just a little longer.

Using my first project to experiment and learn!
I'm making a "flappy-like", featuring a bird from my webcomic, "Uccello Generico" ("Generic Bird") 😄

The goal is to master Godot, while adding twists like power-ups.
Here is a preview!

I’m looking for software to create music and simple SFX that share the same "intuitive tool" vibes as Aseprite.

I need something straightforward for my Godot project. Any recommendations for low-bit or chiptune-friendly editors?

Current tech stack: Godot for the engine, Aseprite for pixel art, and my trusty old MacBook.

What are your thoughts on using VSCode as an IDE for Godot?

I’m starting my indie game developer journey. Wish me luck, but above all, wish me consistency.

I hope new Megas become a standard from now on, much like regional forms. Every new generation or mainline game should introduce a few.

It is the perfect cross-generational gimmick and would significantly boost interest in VGC.

Glad we’re finally saying goodbye to the Scarlet and Violet era this year. However, based on the Gen 10 leaks I’ve seen so far, I can’t say I’m exactly thrilled about what’s coming next.

Hope the final product proves me wrong!

I just invented the ultimate way to never lose your Master Ball (or any rare Poké Balls) without having to give them to random box Pokémon you might accidentally release later.

Following Mega Raichu X and Y designs, officially recognized by TPC as resembling respectively Raichu and Pikachu (source: legends.pokemon.com/en-us/news/m...), I feel they could do justice to Wartortle and make a Mega Blastoise (Z?) that looks more like its previous stage.
