Pixel art practice thread, hopefully it'll remind me to spend five minute a day improving. Because I'm not good at pixel art. Really. (Open this thread and see for yourself ...)

New dev diary for Gunlocked 2. www.indiedb.com/games/gunloc... I've been sharing posts about why I'm choosing to do a #Kickstarter, but I really wanted to expand on that long-form. There are costs to the decisions we make as gamedevs, both obvious and hidden. #indiegame #gamedev #devlog
Gunlocked 2 Dev Diary: Kickstarting Something Better feature
When good enough isn’t good enough. Why a typically self-funded indie developer decided to try crowd-funding, and what it means for Gunlocked 2.

Update: asking people to wishlist my game continues to be the best way to get people to wishlist my game.
Also, we're over 500 outstanding wishlists, which isn't bad for an early in the process game with no real trailer and not much done art wise.

Many thanks to @ericbomb.bsky.social and @nightblade.bsky.social for running this. I'm not sure when but making a game for blind gamers became a bucket list item for me. Now I've had a golden opportunity and everyone who reviewed #ZeroState gave me ideas for how to make something more complete
The blind accessibility game jam is over! The turn out was incredibly with all the devs that showed up.
Want to help games be more accessible? Then give feedback and show support to these devs!

Work was really stressful this Week, which wore down on my motivation to work on "Realm Fight"...😒
But I managed to finish the new UI Implementation. Also changed the Compendium a bit, so it's not too overwhelming and clustered.🤔
What do ya'll think?

Finally got ladders and scene transitions working for Jack! So far he's been very bad at following directions, but now he can officially move from room to room, which is cool because the game would have sucked if he couldn't do that! Happy Saturday!

Working on a new project to help players discover more indie games!
It's super early, but here's a screenshot of the back-end stats: I scraped 500 games (0.26% of Steam's almost-total list) and pulled 43k reviews. This took ~4 hours.
