Before😶‍🌫️

As I'm polishing the game's art, promo materials are gradually coming together, and the in-game quality has been improving too. How do you like the new logo and the cat?

Made a nice frame-by-frame fire, then tried my own shaders… and they looked better. Profiler agrees, so the animation is out and the shaders stay😶‍🌫️

Reached the design polishing stage! There’s still one big coding task for assigning cats, but I’m already grateful to my past self for making the architecture expandable and much cleaner, even if it took forever.

Finished the UI design screens, then took a short break from gamedev. My husband surprised me with a new trumpet for my birthday! Turns out I play better than I thought. A good instrument matters. Don’t start with the cheapest on, you’ll fight it, not improve. Buy the best you can🎺🎸

Cozy games don’t have strict goals, but too much freedom can make them feel aimless. We keep players engaged with gentle incentives—self-set goals, exploration, and emotions. It’s all about finding the right balance, which isn’t always easy!😼

This is my cat, his name is Zayats (which means "Hare" – don't ask why). He's not just a cat, he's the main model for my game. A true feline superstar!😻

I wanted to use Photoshop for animation, but it was inconvenient. I used OpenToonz and Procreate Dreams before, but their brushes didn’t work. After a long search, I found the AnimDessin 2 plugin. In the end-success! I want to animate everything!

I'm still crocheting, but not as often. I made a trendy bonnet, but never got to wear it, it’s pretty warm outside. But I tried making a bag, and I think I’ll actually use it! 💃

Did you know cats live in cardboard houses? Get ready for a bunch of cat tasks!❤️‍🔥

Honestly, the best game ideas don’t always show up right away—it’s like they need a bit of time to take shape🐱

Six months into game development, and my Git looks like this. I feel like not doing enough. It’s not my first game attempt, but I always hit a slump, working on autopilot. Since I moved to another country, I’ve been sick every month. It may sound cliché, but support, a plan, keep me going☺️

What's up?

It’s so important to ask for and listen to feedback - it can really improve the game!
And wow, it turned out so cool, I can’t stop watching!😍

Sometimes, I revisit my unfinished mobile solitaire project on Unity. I’ve got enough art for two games 🤯 but need the code. It’s also a chance to see how Godot handles mobile. So far, I’ve added card rendering, a shuffled deck, and a discard pile🫠

There’s no big news in today’s devlog, plus I’m kind of on vacation, so I’ve been playing music more🎺

Today, I practiced state machines in Godot. Splitting logic into scripts has always been tricky. I made a simple task: an image transitioning through Hidden, Fading In, Visible, and Fading Out states. I tried something similar in my game before, but it didn’t work right away😕

I'm making hats with ears, and soon I'll be able to do my eyes closed😅
