Howdy #screenshotsaturday! Hi, I'm Eric of the pixel variety and I'm working on an indie rpg called Kokoa! Follow Kokoa the cat and his best pal Dawn the Bunny on their quest to save the Vanilla Islands from an unknown threat!

#KokoaGAME #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart
The game's title screen depicting two anthropomorphic characters, a cat and bunny on a grassy hill. Logo reading "Kokoa" is on the top and buttons labeled "New Game", "Continue" and "Options" on the right. A battle scene with UI on the bottom and characters in the middle. A gray bunny-like creature can be seen on the left and Kokoa and Dawn on the right. Kokoa and Dawn standing in a grassy plains map with ledges and sunflowers dotted around. A chest with a star on it is nearby. A menu screen showing options at the top being "Items", "Moves", "Equip", "Status", "???", "Options", "Save" and "Quit". At the bottom consists of HP and SP values represented by a red heart and blue star.

Happy Valentine to those who celebrate but for folk like me: www.youtube.com/watch?v=rb_t...

Day 1: 2025/06/20 - 9h
Got some basics implemented today! We have movement, pathfinding, interaction & dialogue. Interact icons need depth sorting fixed.

Hey hey #PortfolioDay! I'm Sam, the #pixelart specialist and #gamedev behind my #rpg known as #Moonshell_Island! I'm pretty busy rebuilding the project as I learn programming in #gamemaker, but may be open to pixel art work in the future.

patreon: patreon.com/cheekynauts
wishlist: s.team/a/1629660
Moonshell Island scene of a group of NPCs gathered inside a community hall decorated with string lights for New Years Moonshell Island's protagonist Sam (a young purple haired girl) talking to Douglas (a large beaver guy) in a verdant lakeside area near his carpentry shack. Douglas: Sounds like you've got something radical in mind... Lay it on me, bud! Sam: I'm rebuilding this game from scratch! [unselected dialogue option]: Where's the self-destruct button on this thing? Aseprite update trailer scene of a vibrant platformer with mountains and swirly trees, a bunny protagonist, and a giant carrot in the ground. A Halloween themed platformer scene of a bunny girl wearing a ghost costume in a misty graveyard set against a full moon, gnarly trees, and large pumpkins with flirty faces carved into them. A tombstone in the foreground reads "RIP October".

Fun detail you may or may not have noticed from Unearth's demo - certain sounds will exhibit the Doppler effect as their parent object moves toward and away from the player! I implemented this following a generalized guide made by cool YouTuber Scruffy

I do a lot of animated stuff for Figura-compatible 3D and general #pixelart 2D. Looking to start doing a tiny few of these in coming months

Examples that are animated are always animated in some way shape or form due to the content you'd expect from them (like normal map lighting or full rigging).

#artvsartist for 2025: 💜
Started with a big #pixelart commission project followed by 6 months of #gamedev as I learned #gamemaker programming and rebuilt 60% of demo systems for #Moonshell_Island. A challenging but satisfying year of growth for me. 💪🦀

Now that it's #planner season, I can share that I did 12 game mockups for this year's #pixelart themed Voight Planner!

It's very gamified and packed full of cute artwork and features. There's even a digital version!

Really proud to be part of making something so gorgeous and fun. Links below! 💜

Even on #Moonshell_Island, it takes organization to track those goals and achievements when there's no end to the chaos. Fear not, dreamers - our Journal System's got ya covered! Happy New Year!

It's also a gun!

Would you play an ARPG in this style? One day, I'm gonna model it after my most favorite game of all time.

New models, battle style, and level coming in the next few months. Thank you for supporting me even with this!

It's #screenshotsaturday and you know what that means!

Which Way Woods is #KokoaGAME first dungeon. An usually high tree density created a confusing maze of vegetation with abundant creatures!

(That's weird, Dustos are here too. I wonder why?)

Kokoa and Dawn within a forest a forest path with dense trees, the occasional mushroom and a sign with "Which Way Woods" written on it. A battle screen showing Kokoa and Dawn facing off against a Dusto in Which Way Woods. (It's weird that they're here of all places.)

Abandon ship, #ScreenshotSaturday! She's taken on too much water... But Cap'n Crabby's not going down without a fight! Avast, be that land on the horizon?

Aye, it's #Moonshell_Island! But something's different...

This game has no right to be this damn funny.

I haven't played this game ever since my disc stopped working 15 years ago. It's BETTER than I remember. Now that doesn't happen too often. I haven't stopped smiling.

I'm in for such a treat. (It's also way shorter than I remember...???)
