I'm making an indie game on Godot called 'FireCat'
I also play the trumpet and enjoy crocheting for fun.
As I'm polishing the game's art, promo materials are gradually coming together, and the in-game quality has been improving too. How do you like the new logo and the cat?

Made a nice frame-by-frame fire, then tried my own shaders… and they looked better. Profiler agrees, so the animation is out and the shaders stay😶‍🌫️

Reached the design polishing stage! There’s still one big coding task for assigning cats, but I’m already grateful to my past self for making the architecture expandable and much cleaner, even if it took forever.

We've uploaded a short demo of #OpiOpi to Itchio. We'd love to hear your thoughts 🌱 (if you could post your feedback on Itchio itself, it would make our day). 🙏🦆

I'm mostly on art in this project.

My "secret" project for ZX Spectrum Next - rogue-like with Spider as protagonist.

Handwritten assembly code, with generated world, hand-drawn tiles and sprites and... very slow development process 😅

Finished the UI design screens, then took a short break from gamedev. My husband surprised me with a new trumpet for my birthday! Turns out I play better than I thought. A good instrument matters. Don’t start with the cheapest on, you’ll fight it, not improve. Buy the best you can🎺🎸

I started struggling with the number of singletons - just added the fifth one, and now I’m getting confused about the loading order. So, it's time to create one big GigaChad Singleton to handle them all!😅
Who decides the loading order? GigaSingleton💪

Cozy games don’t have strict goals, but too much freedom can make them feel aimless. We keep players engaged with gentle incentives—self-set goals, exploration, and emotions. It’s all about finding the right balance, which isn’t always easy!😼

As an indie dev, I think about what gives a game its "soul." It’s more than mechanics-it’s a feeling. A soulful game doesn’t chase trends but carves its own path. When gameplay, atmosphere, and visuals click, the game feels alive, like it's speaking to you in its own way💜

This is my cat, his name is Zayats (which means "Hare" – don't ask why). He's not just a cat, he's the main model for my game. A true feline superstar!😻

I wanted to use Photoshop for animation, but it was inconvenient. I used OpenToonz and Procreate Dreams before, but their brushes didn’t work. After a long search, I found the AnimDessin 2 plugin. In the end-success! I want to animate everything!

I'm still crocheting, but not as often. I made a trendy bonnet, but never got to wear it, it’s pretty warm outside. But I tried making a bag, and I think I’ll actually use it! 💃

Did you know cats live in cardboard houses? Get ready for a bunch of cat tasks!❤️‍🔥

Honestly, the best game ideas don’t always show up right away—it’s like they need a bit of time to take shape🐱

Six months into game development, and my Git looks like this. I feel like not doing enough. It’s not my first game attempt, but I always hit a slump, working on autopilot. Since I moved to another country, I’ve been sick every month. It may sound cliché, but support, a plan, keep me going☺️

I decided to get rid of diagonal moves🤡
It means scrapping so much, but the mechanic just doesn’t feel right for the player😩

I feel bad too😕

I wanted to add keyboard and joystick controls. Made arrow key movement but🌟suddenly remembered🌟my game has diagonal moves. Tried one idea, then another-both were crap. Ended up creating a system similar to X-COM:select a step within a highlighted area.I'll call it Cat-COM😺
