This game BLEW MY MIND as a kid. It was the first gameboy game I ever beat and it took me ages to do so.

This game BLEW MY MIND as a kid. It was the first gameboy game I ever beat and it took me ages to do so.
Tomorrow is my last day at my current job before starting my first big kid design job in over a year NEXT WEEK! I'm excited to be doing design work again, but even more excited to never set this alarm anymore.
Here's to the last time waking up at 4:30am for work!

Happy October! My schedule is about to smooth back out a bit meaning more game updates, more #pixelart, and possibly more streaming in the near future!
In the meantime, have a sneak peak of the #kickstarter poster reward by @tinaisoladesign.bsky.social

Starting to plan out the screen between zones. Sketched out a layout idea today on stream. I wonder how much of this will make it to production!

Dang it :( This is the main thing I was worried about. I prefer closed weapons, as I'm a battlefield player through and through, but I believe a decision has to be made. How in the world are you going to balance weapons within two distinctly different structures... #bf6 #gaming #pcgaming #beta
August 23, 2025 at 9:46 PM
Nope, I'm good. I loved the beta and I'm excited for the game but EA has to prove they can get it over the line first, and following up a wildly successful beta with "Yearly releases like CoD" is NOT the right call. Do better #EA...

Sprite design for the above boss.
Messing around with how to animate this spin attack for our incense burner boss. Lots of smokey, fluid, AoEs are on the horizon.

Working on a new character. This is not what I pictured when I started, and I assume it won't look like this when I'm done.
Also got a ton of help from @grogdev.bsky.social today, adding #IMGUI to a new branch of the game for debugging.

For me, Too Human takes the cake! I LOVED this game and I truly miss the time of jank Co-op action RPGs. Bring back Champions of Norrath and Hunter: The Reckoning too!

Controller Support Progress! Thanks to @grogdev.bsky.social and @jujuadams.com's INPUT, we have basic controller support for player functions in the game :)
Now to clean stuff up and rebind player-npc interactions.

Made a new base spell animation today and I have to say, I'm pretty happy with it! I've been making a ton of progress this week. Can't wait to push into the new zone once this new combat is play tested.

I'm really happy with how this update is feeling. Next steps are to add knockback and more engaging enemies since everything got quicker.

Testing a new combat system! Player siphons mana from the enemy and uses it to cast spells on a key press.
Need to clean up visuals and feedback, but mechanically, it works!

The Major Arcana for #TheOldOne #Tarot deck is complete...for now. Weeks of work and finally, I have a complete set to share. Next step is to get some print samples going while I finish out the minor cards.
