Most playtests begin running through this precarious hallway. This time I changed it just enough for a poor enemy to get Han Soloed into the wall😩

It's (kind of) alive! Aseprite is soooo good for cleaning up pixel graphics, so glad I switched to it. Though I still like Affinity for the initial more painterly stages

Early #ScreenshotSaturday! Here's a mockup for an abandoned castle in my platformer. Man graphics are tough to make. Also feels like I'm breaking Affinity Photo over my knee to get it to behave how I want 😶‍

Now to clean this up and port it into the game!

Got the meat of the dialogue system working! NPCs can now not only talk at your mute tricolor form, but also give you items and trigger Dark Souls-esque choice windows ("Choose A or B"). Each step can also affect the global world state

Question to fellow indies:

How do you document progress?Devlogs, blogposts, something else? What is your process? And do you see benefits from it in your work? (You're also welcome to link your stuff!)

Small thread with my experience: 🧵

Thine loyal servant brings you another update. Shader containment unit has been breached, everything is going haywire, rudimentary water reflection material has begun spontaneously appearing in the world.

(ya boy has written his first baby shader)

You though I was working on some grungy sci-fi platformer? Get bamboozled, get absolutely played - I want grungy persian moods in this groundbreaking game about a guy jumping on things.

This is the first real "draft" for the main menu. Low-quality till I settle on the aesthetics 🤡
