Taking a break from Chester at the Park to work on smaller projects and new tech
Do you remember that pipe-connecting game? Ever wish that game was also Tetris? Infiniplumber is a game about laying pipe 💦
Building in Zig for #playdate, coming soon™️

It’s been a while since I’ve posted, but I’m still working on chesteratthepark.com!
Today I finished a completely new renderer that works with #1bit sprites directly and supports depth maps. Chester can now go behind the gate and other background features!

I’d post a gif for #screenshotsaturday if I could 😔 You’ll have to make due with a single frame of Orion’s fly-in animation for now

Been too long since I posted a #screenshotsaturday! I made a lot of progress, including this redesign of the first challenge area. Decided to go all in on the Japanese theme and renamed the haiku-croaking frog Kigo 🐸
More Chester updates coming next week!

Tried to draw a #pixelart portrait of old man Bertrand, and while I think it turned out okay, he doesn’t really look like how I imagined him… I’ll probably try again but I thought I’d still try this version

I’ve been struggling with this tree, but it’s finally getting somewhere I think! For weeks I kept coming back to it, trying to render the foliage in a different way. Finally got a direction I liked while watching the new bridgerton season, and from there it just took two episodes to balance shapes

It even works (sort of…) on my phone, and I probably designed most of the content in bed because I couldn’t sleep.
It’s web based, but no server. Data is stored in localStorage, and exported as links with the level definition serialized, which I copy paste to a google doc lol.

Late #screenshotsaturday because I am having a bit of a day, but this week has actually been quite productive! I got the rabbit in and the gate working, and updated the map with new decorations and layout. Getting closer to the next demo!

I promise I’ll post a real #screenshotsaturday again one day.. But here are two more pixel art portraits. The bunny hops around and gives you some tips on how to play, while the crow blocks your path until you give him shiny things.

Alas, no new #screenshotsaturday, but here’s a poem:
Through dark clouds
A single streak of light
Bishop strikes
— Kodok, the Frog
He might seem like a grump, but Kodok knows a lot about chess puzzles. If you impress him he may share some of his wisdom—or just more of his poetry 😉

I’m building chesteratthepark.com, a cozy puzzle game where you use chess rules to bring Chester back to his owner. The game’s set in a hand drawn pixel art park, with a ton of critters and things to explore.
It will be released for the #playdate first, but other platforms too!

This is still an early prototype—number two, to be precise. Written from scratch as always, no engines, just JS. The dialogue text rendering is ugly and it’s taking a lot of restraint not to fix that, but it wouldn’t help with prototyping at all 😅
I’m adding more NPCs next, starting with these ducks

It’s been too long since I shared a #screenshotsaturday! I’ve been working hard on the opening act and all the support systems I needed—dialogue trees, state machines, triggers, npc simulation, … but these screenshots are now actually in-game, instead of just mock ups. A big step! 🎉

I’m currently working on one! It’s a cozy puzzle game where you use the rules of chess to bring Chester the dog back to his owner. You don’t have to be a chess genius, but some puzzles are a bit challenging. There will also a park to explore, full with critters, secret spots and hand drawn pixel art

It’s #screenshotsaturday already and I didn’t do much this week 😅
I’m just doodling some more NPCs. When you are playing a puzzle, the critters and visitors of the park may stroll by or come watch. Some might even give you helpful tips when you get stuck!

This #screenshotsaturday I am working on world layout and figuring out the level order, gating and special rewards for chesteratthepark.com. I made enough puzzles to fill the world, but getting the difficulty curve right is hard and so important.

Getting back into Chester! I got a new world layout, basically all the puzzles, so now it’s time for art and supporting systems like UIs and NPCs. Really happy with this owl! Both the portrait and the sprite came out great, I think.
Anyone want to help me name him?
