So happy I can finally share the card back for the special anniversary for #MechShuffle. It's on sale right now so go check it out!

I don't usually draw mech so this was super challenging for me. Even worse, I had an artist block for the colours when the deadline was fast approaching. #pixelart

This looks like it would have some cool creepy puzzles!

I wish people would understand how to do this IRL 😒

I'm making the anniversary card back for this game and I have no idea what an OPIFEX is. I know the V is vertical in VTOL but that's about it. #indiedev #confessions

I am STRUGGLING with this card back for #MechShuffle, trying to pick the background colours and it's all falling apart, the deadline is here, NOTHING IS WORKING

Are the boxes creatures you can catch? Because I love them and their derpy faces!

Super excited for #SteamNextFest! Can't wait to try out new demos from indie devs and seeing all the love they put into their game 🎮

Happy Thanksgiving to my fellow Canadians that celebrate! Also grateful to the first stewards of this amazing place we call home.

PSA: Beets are liars and are stupid. Beet juice does not dye in the rich red jewel tones it's colour suggests. It's more of a dirty orange. I hate beets.

Currently trying to DIY dye wool using beet juice for the first time. ENTIRE house smells like vinegar and beets 😬

Yellow hands down. I loved having all the starters

Zi Anna @zianna.bsky.social · 29d

Did you know the old school pokemon sprites were limited to only 4 colours, two of which were black and white?

Took a small break and played some games, feeling great about making art again! Having a blast making creatures limited to 4 colours #pixelart #pokemon

The dev on my team just bought a WOW subscription. Hasn't played since the start of covid. WHY is the lord testing me this way?

It turns out, if another woman calls me sister, I fall in love with them

Zi Anna @zianna.bsky.social · Sep 25

Going to be honest, I feel very demotivated to make art and work on the game 😔 I know it's not the biggest deal in the world to miss a deadline I set for myself. It's beyond that. The dev scene feels so commercialized and against indies. I just want to make silly little games.

Zi Anna @zianna.bsky.social · Sep 25

Love how the music sounds medieval and retro at the same time! Did you make it yourself?

Zi Anna @zianna.bsky.social · Sep 24

AAAAHHH I did NOT know this was an requirement to publish on the play store! I don't even know 12 people! And a 2 week testing period means I won't make my deadline!
