More UI work!

Still piecing together what this game *could* be. I'm in a prototype and lookdev stage to get a feel of things.

What do you think?

I recently bought a house! Which means gamedev has taken a back seat while I pursue decorating 🎨

Managed to sneak in some UI work though, how do you feel about this card selection stuff? 🤔

Working on a minor patch for the game. Using it as an opportunity to add Steam's Rich Presence feature!

Your friends will be able to see what you're up to at a glance from their friends list 🤗

I really adore videos that use tilt-shift techniques. Been trying to get a similar effect with this. Pushing the depth of field and dropping the framerate.

what do you think?

It's a neat idea and it's something I considered, however I realised it's actually against Steam policy to do this directly from the game...

Here's something I'm not sure I've posted on Bluesky before. Proprietary gamedev tools!

This is a screenshot of my questing node network that directly exports into Unreal Engine that determines quest dependencies. 🤓

One of the first reviews to come through after the full release of my game a few weeks ago! Reading things like this make my day ☺️

What do you get when you cross...

❄️ Runescape with Narnia?
👨‍🌾 Stardew Valley with Isometric 3D style?
📚 Animal Crossing with deeper lore?

You get my game - Tales from The Dancing Moon! 💃🌙

Today I updated my game with some extra settings around screen resolution and fullscreen/window modes!

Plus a few bugfixes! 🐞

It's one of those things that for some reason get's overlooked, but I'm glad it's in now! 💻

This was the only video I caught at the #NintendoSwitch2 Experience in London (using the RayBans!)

I also played Donkey Kong, Mario Kart Knockout Tournament, Breath of the Wild, Split Fiction, Wind Waker, and looked over the shoulder of many others.

Happy to answer any questions the best I can!

Howdy all! 👋 I'm still pretty new to Bluesky!

I'm a gamedev in the UK, and yes - I am working on an indie game. It's so close to full release! Definitely within this year. But in the mean time you can play the free demo or the Early Access.

All links are in my bio! 💃🌙

Some new village constructions you can make in the full version of my game. Here is an beer garden type thing! (work in progress)

Just finished season 1 of Severance. The show has the same feeling as LOST did years ago. Excited to start season 2.
