Had the pleasure of playing through Bionic Bay this weekend. A very cool platformer with a remarkable sense of place. Fans of megastructures, this one's for you.
What a ride! Our Sci-Fi game Bionic Bay will be released on April 17!
Here, I'm making the last pixels of this one million pixel robotic arm! 🦾✍️

Magi's attack combo part 3 of 4 💪
We've got one more attack to go before she's fully completed her loop and this is going to be the hardest one yet ✨️

Got sick so progress slowed down, but we press on! Here are the first 2 parts of Magi's attack combo!
I could stop here since they transition well into each other, but what's the fun in that?

#indiegamedev Update, shes animated!
Magi's been a blast to animate so far and there's plenty more to do before she makes it into the game!

#indiegamedev I practiced my character modelling style for #JourneyToTheNightGod on this character.
Magi, is a 4ft tall summon with a sword bigger than most of the playable characters. I'm incredibly happy with how she came out and cant wait to begin animations!
