Life has been quite busy. Productivity is down and I am focusing on our racing game (more info coming soon!)

However I do keep making concepts and commissioning new sprite work for the monster tamer project! Here’s a sneak peek!

I absolutely adore this mouse design!

A cropped and blurred photo revealing creatures for my game. The primary subject is sharp and legible. It is a dark lanky mouse.

I didn’t make the lineart, but I’m starting to get the hang of coloring and shading! This is so addictive, I was experimenting with different brushes and lighting techniques.

Any tips for shading creatures?

On my way to #Gamescom, drawing away a new concept for my monster tamer.
I suck at drawing so I pass poor concept art along to a proper pixel artist and get quality results :D

AI is helping us deal with the layoffs alright. Here’s some actionable items generated by ChatGPT
A bold graphic on a dark background with large white and orange text. At the top, a red downward graph icon accompanies the question: “Why are profitable companies laying people off?” The answer follows in orange: “Because the system rewards it.” Below, white bullet points explain the motivations: “Inflate stock prices,” “Satisfy shareholders,” “Maximize executive bonuses,” and “Chase short-term trends.” A bold white sentence reads: “This isn’t survival. It’s exploitation.” An orange starburst icon introduces “What can we do?” in orange text, followed by green checkmarks and white text listing actions: “Support unions and worker orgs,” “Call it out publicly,” “Vote with your wallet,” “Demand stronger labor laws,” and “Push for corporate accountability.” The bottom statement reads in bold white and orange: “Layoffs aren’t inevitable. They’re a choice—made by the powerful.”

I figured out how to have only your name in the credits of your game.

Thanks for sharing. What a great paper, this picture is all I needed from it.

I recently shared some stat that we're spending 30% CPU on finding the distance along a spline, what if we preprocess it into a LUT so we only check 5 line segments?

Do I add redirection and reduce the LUT size merging cells, or allow hash collisions so that I have ~15 segments instead of ~5?
Programmer art. A cube that's used as a source of lookup. Any point within the cube could possibly have any of the 5 segments (connected via a white line) as the closest segment, so the cube stores the indices of those segments.

This territorial terror soars high above the forest, scanning for threats and hunting predators... For sport!
#Galeclaw is the final stage if the #Crestling line. A beak fit to tear through meat.

Hinted at before, #Galecrest is the obvious next step for #Crestling. Developing its body and its abilities, their beak has changed shape to be more predatorial.

Could there be another stage?

#Crestling swoops in! It has learned how to fly, but when it goes for a hunt the best it can hope for is an apple.
I hope this little guy transforms and doesn't stay clueless forever... 👀

@jarmesan.bsky.social did this this wonderful design.

#Rynvar has arrived! #Veilkin transform into this predator of the forest. Threatening everyone who enters their hunting grounds.

A four-color pixel art of a creature for the monster tamer game called Kindred Paths. A fox-like creature in a menacing pose. Fiery-red fur and a mean stare.

This clever fox is always taking notes on how to hunt, eager for the day they take charge. With sharp eyes, a keen mind, and a drive to grow stronger, Veilkin is a hunter in the making. Would you add Veilkin to your team? 👀

Meet #Sylvigna, the evolution of #Lysvig. The protector of the forest. She blends in the with the environment with ease as she patrols the woods to protect all creatures. She's no stranger to magic but can also rely on her claws as a fallback.

A four color pixel art image of a creature by the name of Sylvigna. Colored green to blend in with the forest, this lynx-like creature has antlers on her head.

Meet Lysvig! She's not strong but she is not scared of wandering by herself in the forest. She knows that her maternal figure and protector of the forest, will watch over her.

This is my first creature reveal for my monster tamer RPG.

A four color pixel art image of a creature by the name of Lysvig. Colored green to blend in with the forest, she has some features of a lynx. It's unclear what those nubbins on her head are supposed to be.

Bit cheeky this #ScreenshotSaturday. 3 devs have worked on an F-Zero inspired racing game and this is the first 6 months condensed into 10 minutes of video. Proud of where we are now!

Hey-o! Solodev of Creature here, half my posts are about this, the other half about my other project.

“I HAVE FREE WILL!” he shouts, while creating atrocious YouTube thumbnails.
Three thumbnails are selectable, two are of a semi-professional standard and the third is a low quality YouTube clickbait-y version.

I was playing around with DeepSeek-R1. It's fun to have my own local LLM, and it's interesting that it shows you its thought process. However it's hilarious how the thought process and the response mismatch!

I asked to make letters uppercase at random in the string "but you are the product".
Finally, "product." Starting with "p" as lowercase: "proDuct." Wait, maybe I should change more letters here. Let's see, "p" stays lowercase, but "r," "o," "d," "u," "c," "t"—maybe randomly capitalize a few. Maybe "r" and "u" and "t." So, "prOduct." Putting it all together: "BuT YoU arE thE prOduct." Hmm, that looks a bit confusing but still somewhat readable. I should make sure to mention that this is a playful twist and that the original message might be harder to decode if more changes are made. I also want to keep the response friendly and offer further assistance if they need adjustments. So, I'll present it clearly and ask if they want any changes tweaked. </think> Sure! Here's your message with some random uppercase replacements: **"BuT YoU aRe ThE pRoDucT."** Let me know if you'd like me to make more or adjust anything!

We spend 5.8ms per frame on updating the kart physics, effects. ~30% of that time is spent on figuring out how far along this 140 segment spline the kart is located.
The price of writing naïve code.
