Here's one of me (I think I was supposed to be a power ranger? 😅), my little sister (Presumably as Pocahontas), my older brother (As a ninja, so you might have to look closely to find him), and Danny (As the karate kid? Or an attempt at the white ranger?). This is either '95 or '96, but I'm not sure

You've probably already seen this, because artist, but it seemed relevant.

Does every game need a grappling hook, or does *every* game need a grappling hook? 🤔😂
Mario? Grappling hook. Halo? Grappling hook. Balatro? Believe it or not, also grappling hook.

Some rough level sketches for Grapplers: Relic Rivals. Yes, this is what level design looks like in its infancy 😄

Wow, 2000 followers! Not sure I did anything to deserve this. Thank you all so much! 🫶

Grapplers didn't have much paper design/concept art/temp art, but I'll post some rough level sketches in the replies if you're interested.

Game devs, post your first shipped game and your latest shipped game.
My first game - Open Ocean, a small game with a big environmental message. My latest game - Grapplers: Relic Rivals, an insanely chaotic PVP platformer with grappling hooks.

My next #IndieGame is going to be about a druid with shapeshifting powers called "melding" where the forests are decaying. I guess the only logical name for it is "Melder: Death of the Wild" 😂

Anyone else think Bomb Cyclone sounds like a weapon in a Megaman game? 😅

I just shared some details of my next #IndieGame in my Discord server. If you'd like to help the game grow 🌱 into something *you'd* love to play, join the Discord (Link in replies) and let me know what you think!

Here's a teaser 👀

#IndieDev #GameDesign #GameDev
My next game will be a combination of these games/ideas: Zelda: Link's Awakening, Mega Man Battle Network, druids, Zelda: Breath of the Wild's Great Beasts, and Okami.

In case you need a distraction today, here's a reminder of that time I accidentally made a boy band in my game 😂
