And that’s a wrap! Huge week for the team at MIGW 🥳🎉

I’m equal parts ready to sleep for a week and do a big LP push 😅 Showcases are a lot of work, but seeing the excitement from your playtesters firsthand is worth all the effort 🥹 Huge thanks to everyone that stopped by!

Izzie's up to some mischief 👀

The team are working hard on the next area of the game, High Ridge Lookout! If you're heading to PAX, come say hi and find out what crazy antics Izzie's up to now 😁

Here's a quick little snippet from our new scene in progress, High Ridge Lookout! There's still lots to do, but can't wait to get Izzie exploring the scene and solving those puzzles 😎

Confirmation that Izzie has no friends 😅

Sorry Izzie, but it was very hilarious giving you that thousand-yard stare 😆

"Can Izzie kick the cable car?" Yes... yes she can 😎

Creating silly moments like this one is why I love making games 😂

When do you know when you've finished a piece? 🤔 Usually I have a pretty good idea of when I'm ready to step away, but The Ranger theme really stumped me. I'm sure I'll still get caught up in making some more changes, but I'm hoping sharing my imperfect work helps me move forward 😅 🎶 #gamemusic

I've been using #FMOD in Lone Pine for 6 months now and wouldn't go back! I've still got so much to learn, but it's already gotten me composing with implementation in mind. Now I've just got to smash out a bunch of pieces to implement! 😅 #gamemusic

I've got a festival deadline and a dream 😂 Here's a sneaky screenshot from the Lone Pine teaser trailer I've been working on this week! Keep your eyes pealed - it'll be dropping soon 👀 #indiegamedev

I’ve been writing a track for the Lone Pine teaser trailer. Churro is trying to help 😅🌲 #gamemusic

I've been playing with Rhubarb Lip Sync in Spine to see if it's feasible to do full lip sync for Izzie. I've limited her mouths and with minimal clean up I've gotten her to this point! Honestly for the time spent I think the results are worth it 🙏 Lemme know what you think! #spine2d #gameanimation

I've had a few extra follows recently, so for starters huge thanks 🙏✨ For those that are seeing this: Hello, my name is Sam and I'm 1/4 of the team working on Lone Pine, a point-and-click-style adventure game set in a fictional national park full of cryptids 📸🌲 1/2
