Give our gamedev cat some love 😜

And we’re really curious about the 🐞, what was it doing does anybody know?

Who’s in the wrong here?
Was the car’s reaction justified? 🤔
Any entomologists here to explain this weird ladybug’s behavior?

One night my own neural network generated this and a few more variations that are yet to be drawn. Here’s my little ant spearman guarding the cave entrance. Love the concept and colors but the pose and proportions are meh.

Was this thread shadow banned? People hate 🦨 that much? Just a bad joke in the first post? Curious why it got zero reactions 🤔

While strolling at 11 pm we were followed and then approached by 2 black gangsters.
We took pictures of them when they were walking towards us and then later on when they moved away but the moment they were at us we were so shocked that we didn’t even take any photos.
Pics are below 🧵

Part 3 of vibe searching. Experimenting with marker icons, background and the scroll pieces so it looks more like an old dungeon map.
Does it though?🤔

Part 2 of searching for the game’s vibe. Background is very important for the level. Players will stare at it while playing. It’s gotta have calm and pleasant colors to not steal attention from the main game elements.
Also played a bit with the torn map pieces.

Part 1 of trying to find our game's vibe.

Is it getting any better?

The was in Scratch and it’s called Space Melon 🤣🤪

Ok we don’t expect too much reaction to this but here’s the intro animation to a level in our puzzle game with some placeholder art.

What do you guys think?🤔

Actually the characters appearance in the vid meticulously represents ours so we think the video should get more views 😜
And the question still remains unanswered so 🤗

Tried to make our dungeon look more casual. None of available assets fit so had to draw some tiles 🫣
It appeared you don’t need any Adobe products to make a good tiles 🤗
What do you think folks?

It's #screenshotsaturday folks!
Akshually we don't need skeletal animation for our puzzle game but since we now have this cute skelly - why not make some jelly animation with monstermash, right? 😉

What to do if your progress video becomes too long 🤔? We just speed up the first half of the vid cause it’s old and add new progress clips in the second half. But is this legit?
What you think , please tell in comments!😉🤝

Gradually improving our game’s main menu. In the end it’s going to be some kind of an ancient library with lots of scrolls 🤪

Any thoughts?

Post your #screenshotsaturday creations below if you’re up to!🙃
