A massive congrats goes out to @bscotch.net, @adamcoster.com, and everyone else who poured their blood, sweat, and tears into #Crashlands2. It was worth the wait, and the game shines for it. Fantastic stuff that you need to check out as soon as possible: shorturl.at/OIpKV
‘Crashlands 2’ Improves on the Original Game in Every Conceivable Way and Is a Crafting/Survival Masterclass (Review)
'Crashlands 2' takes everything that made the first game great, makes it even better, and adds plenty more to boot. It's a joy and a half.

Follow @anneballaranart.bsky.social! I've been working with her for a year on Crashlands 2 and she's unbelievably talented.
Hello! I make 2D art for games and animations. This is a screenshot from the indie game we're working on.
I'll be sharing bits and pieces of our gamedev adventures as well as my personal art learning journey. Nice to meet everyone! :)

Took me 8 weeks to make my first animatic - which I drew in #CSP and assembled in... #Spine2d?! (There were REASONS 😐)
Best part was, being a Spine animation, it caused a RAM spike that bricked the game on phones. I ended up having to record it as an MP4 instead.

@myles.redplanetgames.co wild to see another siblings-founded studio! My brothers and I started Butterscotch Shenanigans about 12 years ago. How long y'all been at it?

One of my fave things is adding little ecological interactions to the creatures I make. They don't *do* anything mechanically, but players always imagine they do and assign agency. "Oh watch out - that Sluggabun is smelling you!"

A #gamedev and #gameart intro seems to be in order! I founded an indie studio with my brothers @adamcoster.com and Seth, made Crashlands, Levelhead, Quadropus Rampage, and Flop Rocket, and am now working on Crashlands 2. Plus I've given a few GDC talks over the years. www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQHt...
