Official Introduction V2:
Hi, I'm The Story Nerd, head of Story Nerd Studios! As the only member of this studio, I make pixel art games in Gamemaker Studio 2 according to whatever whims I planned in my Google Docs, as well as making YouTube videos about it all. Also I'm free for commissions!

Working on a small project for my art history class, and I'm adding a grappler. Pretty excited for this project, but I only have a month to get it done, so hopefully I can deliver in time! #gamedev

Week One of Sprite-A-Week!
For the first one, I have Kasane Teto, my current obsession! She's peak, and I think her history embodies creativity (and I just have Teto brainrot ngl)

Very early footage of some redone dashing animations and the current state of the game!
The combat feels much faster despite the reliance on stamina, and the new animations are helping a lot! Not quite done with the visuals, but we're on the way!
WIP footage obviously

Currently working on a stagger system for Punch Punch Punch! Strong and slow attacks will build up fatigue, and if it reaches 100, the boxer will become staggered. Using a strong punch then will force them to fall! #gamedev #2dfighter

Currently working on redoing more of the animations, and I added a cross punch to help the jab feel more varied when using it back to back. Now I just have...all...of the other animations...to redo... this is gonna take a bit #gamedev #animation #pixelart

New devlog going over the Monke Jam I participated in earlier this year, as well as a personal story about my journey as an artist! #gamedev #devlog
Why I Thought I'd Never Change as an Artist | Monkey Jam Devlog
In case anyone is worried, I'm obviously doing much better as far as my view on my art, but there were definitely lows. Always keep in mind that critique is one thing, and hate is another. Critique should encourage people to try again, not break them down and feel like they can do nothing. Make sure your circles reflect this!

Working on adding a dynamic camera to the game! The camera getting closer really shows how rushed some of the animations are, so I guess I gotta update those next... #gamedev

I would HIGHLY recommend any devs make a powerpoint about their projects. It's just fun ngl, and helps me with visuals at very least. Not my GDD, but my little baby nonetheless 🤧 #gamedev

Genuine question for my fellow devs: at the indie size, is it really worth it to make a separate account for a specific game instead of sharing progress on your own account? I’m debating if I should do that for my next project since it’s bigger #gamedev

HELLO GAME DEVELOPERS
if i want to have a really small amount of data stored on the internet that my game can ask for information about and push information to, what are my options? it'd be really nice if i didn't have to set up a server somewhere or anything

Punch Punch PUNCH!!! is a 2D fighter focused on stamina management that I'm currently developing. I'm now focusing on expanding the scope, which is why you see characters going outside of the ring a lot: I literally expanded the ring, just not the art alongside it. #gamedev

Making BETTER Combat | Punch Punch PUNCH!!! Devlog 1
Punch Punch PUNCH!!! is a 2D fighter focused on stamina management that I'm currently developing. I've been working on it for a few months now, and while I did have a more complete beta build, I'm now focusing on expanding the scope, which is why you see characters going outside of the ring a lot: I literally expanded the ring, just not the art alongside it.
There's more to the current build of the game than in the video, like a functional settings menu as well as a menu in general. I might make a video on it in the future, but I'm also redefining the visuals at the moment, so it might be a while.
Punch Punch PUNCH!!! is not yet public on Steam, but it will be at one point!

Working on some new particle effects, sweat comes off if you have stamina, but if you're out of stamina, there's blood instead!
What do you think of the effects? Too hard to notice right now? #gamedev
