Wireframing is helpful when you haven’t figured out exactly how a room should look or function. Draw something quick, put it in the game, and see if it feels good! If it doesn’t, you can try again before you commit many hours of pixeling and architecting. #pixelart #gamedev

Thought I'd share a portrait of Wladka I painted last month for fun and practice, went for something stylized with big eyes, and tried to capture her kind of malaise / sadness, but I think it came across more bored perhaps.

Not bad though! I wish I put more time aside for digital painting.

BTS for this post I was making it in bed and got Kaitlyn to make a graphic for it on her ipad and she sent it back to me via Instagram

I found out today that IG doesn't give you a 'downloading' notification so I was mashing it like why no dl

AdventureX is sort of my Cheers! in that most people know my name (or at least my laugh) and we all know that adventure games never died, they just got extremely cool.

They have a Steam event with discounted games and demos- I'm in at least 8 of them so be warned!

The Excavation of Hob's Barrow is a blood-curdling 55% off in the Steam Halloween sale!
A perfect time to play our folk horror adventure game inspired by movies such as The Wicker Man & the works of M.R. James, with a little pinch of Twin Peaks and Lovecraft.

For spooky season we've been watching buffy the vampire slayer for the first time and man, what an electric show. Kaitlyn and I are obsessed. We're most the way through season 3 and I think there's yet to be an episode I hate.

Love seeing all of my horror games dev friends getting into it and strutting their stuff for spooky season, I am a big scaredy cat coward who cannot play your wonderfully horrifying looking games, but I am cheering you all on ravenously from the sidelines

An important part of game development is being open to iterating, like adjusting the layout of a town when testing shows that players get confused with where things are. Sometimes, this means a scene can change over ten times- like our town of Krkanov has!

I think as a game dev you can put yourself into a bit of a box as to what you post. Anything not talking about games dev feels like wasted words. I decided shooting some disorganised thoughts about bits I've been playing lately into the void is exactly the ticket. See what we learned along the way.
