Good progress on a different project today! My oldest dwarf jade got an 80's haircut, and I've started a forest of cuttings. #jade #bonsai ##JadeBonsai

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone! I've been working on the spin attack for a while now and I think it's finally where it needs to be as far as gamefeel. Still rough around the edges, but I haven't had this much fun with testing in a long time! #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine #mariokart #gokart

Welcome to a very rough draft of the into level to Crimes of the Kart! If only the Crazy Taxi pointer arrow was still patented by #SEGA we could be doing some real crimes here.

Years ago, I spilled coffee on my copy of Blackstar. I was mortified, but the end result has grown on me over time. #DavidBowie #AlbumArt #coffee

My li'l maple guy is finally getting his own pot next season! There are 3 other sprouts out of frame who aren't quite as healthy yet. I'm not sure what this other plant is, but it seems pretty happy since I transplanted it while weeding a couple months ago. #houseplants #gardening #bonsai
A 2-year old maple tree with 6 leaves on the end of a single trunk. A small plant with feather-shaped leaves in a star pattern. 1 set of leaves is red.

I had a lot of fun with black mage, so I thought I'd give fighter a try. #pixelart #animation #finalfantasy #8bittheater

Nostalgia amr?
#monkey #radioshack #videogames
The back of the box for a handheld video game titled "MONKEY". The box has a radio shack logo in the top left corner, a picture of the game device itself below, and a block of descriptive text to the right that reads: "MONKEY NOW's your chance to "swing" like a real monkey! Race through the jungle, picking as many apples and bananas as you can along the way. But watch out! in your quest for more fruit, you'll run across fireballs in the road, and two different-sized monsters who might attack at any time!" There is a barcode below the text, and a string of digits beneath that which reads: "60-2466". The bottom of the box has a single line of fine print that reads: "Custom Manufactured in China for Radio Shack, A Division of Tandy Corp., Fort Worth, TX 76102".

Let's be honest: I did not improve on the original.
(Still pretty happy with my interpretation though)

I needed a destress project, so I made a li'l #pixelart animation of possibly my favorite video game sprite ever designed. #FinalFantasy #animation #spritework

It's messy but it exists! Would it be cool if you could load your own images into the game (yes I know, all dicks all the time) to use as your tag? Tag spots will be replacing the waypoint markers you've seen in videos so far.

What are we writing? Hopefully I can show you by next #screenshotsaturday. For now though, I'm kind of loving the cartoon bubblegum look of the placeholder particles.

As my favorite art teacher in college said "It will look bad until it doesn't". I can't wait to have something cool to show again. It gets frustrating when my progress slows down, but my to-do list still says I'm getting things done!

A facetious take on the "Just make it exist. You can make it good later." meme format. The first panel features the first screenshots of Crimes of the Kart, and the second panel features a large black rectangle with the words "SECOND PANEL". The word "second" is in comic sans font, and the word "panel" is in papyrus font.

I am dragging myself kicking and screaming into the process of building Crimes of the Kart's textbox system. Also doing some hashtag experiments. Happy Thursday everyone!

A low-poly 3d scene featuring a gokart driven by an orange cat. There is a text-box on screen. This is the first time a dialog box has appeared in development screenshots. The dialog box reads: "Heep deep beep beep! I am not a jeep!"
