Oh boy new platform to talk about my game!
I'm making my first game as a short horror platformer following this lil dude through a long abandoned lab.
If you wanna follow development of What I Once Was, follow me :)

We're hosting an art contest (soon) and the winner will have their work as a poster in our next game! (Possibly other prizes but we're all in college debt)

Out of all the artistic and technological skills I've learned, Blender is the most the most confusing 😭 This took way to long to get here

Slowly but surely we're cooking
Finally got to day 2 of code development and added pick up and tossing for elements in the game!
It'll be a slow process to get things moving working around schedules, but we'll get groovin

I've officially had What I Once Was shown off in my college's thesis exhibition.
I can't give enough thanks to my wife, parents, and professors, as I couldn't have done this without any of them.

This is absolutely insane to me. I get this is small numbers in the grand scheme, but 11 downloads is HUGE to me for a silly little thesis horror game with no experience
Thank you all.

As one project ends, another begins.
Nerdy Frog Games is now a small team of five as we dive into our second game!
More details will be released, as we're on the tail end of finishing a design guide.

This account has sort of been neglected as I've put my nose to the digital grindstone.
Nearly after I've started and my first game is almost done.

First run at adding the water that makes you slow, surely this should be the end result?

I'm sure this isn't a good way to do it, but most of my animations use 8 sprites at most so...
In figuring out pixels for a sprite sheet I just use hash marks or hand motions for how many frames that is then take the initial frame size times that motion..
Oops

Hey! So I've been slow on here...
The holidays/finals season takes priority unfortunately but the games powers on :)
I *did* have 1/3 of the level design done when I suddenly and miraculously decided that it was gonna be too short! So I'm making it longer :3
Also music is a learning curve

I think this is the point where I've realized I'm really making my first game.
I've got the first boss working and all of the initial animations and mechanics for the player working.
There's still a lot of refinement for even what's in this video but there's something playable.
