One night my own neural network generated this and a few more variations that are yet to be drawn. Here’s my little ant spearman guarding the cave entrance. Love the concept and colors but the pose and proportions are meh.

That’s the thread folks. Share below how did you spend the weekend or how you usually get rest from the unending #gamedev struggle. Oh we mean gamedev adventure of course 😉

Anyway why are you still watching me doing poopoo?

Look at this diva standing in the spotlight showing off her beautiful neck 😍😜

If you look closely you might notice that one on the right has 3 legs. Her leg has been taken off because of vet´s mistake after she broke her leg being a few weeks old. She’s doing fine now and is very friendly to everyone

Did you know alpacas could be trained to use a litter box so you don’t have to clean the stables after them. Just like your house cats! So cute and so smart! 🧐

interesting thing about #alpacas that could make you reconsider attitude towards them:
Male 🦙 will try to reach and bite off another male 🦙 testicles to remain the only stud in the pack😳
They even grow special sharp teeth for this
Now live with this knowledge hehe 😜

This #alpaca could cleanse your timeline and dramatically improves the visibility of your posts to @bsky.app algorithm if you ❤️ this vid!

Proven method👍 💯 guaranteed !

Visited alpaca farm during the break from #gamedev. More photos and interesting facts in the thread 🧵

Nice movement of the serpent btw, looks very smooth 👍

Was this thread shadow banned? People hate 🦨 that much? Just a bad joke in the first post? Curious why it got zero reactions 🤔

While strolling at 11 pm we were followed and then approached by 2 black gangsters.
We took pictures of them when they were walking towards us and then later on when they moved away but the moment they were at us we were so shocked that we didn’t even take any photos.
Pics are below 🧵

The closest photo we’ve got. The moment they passed our legs slightly touching them with furry tails remains unpictured 😜 we were in such awe 🫢

Part 3 of vibe searching. Experimenting with marker icons, background and the scroll pieces so it looks more like an old dungeon map.
Does it though?🤔

Part 1 of trying to find our game's vibe.

Is it getting any better?

Part 2 of searching for the game’s vibe. Background is very important for the level. Players will stare at it while playing. It’s gotta have calm and pleasant colors to not steal attention from the main game elements.
Also played a bit with the torn map pieces.

They don’t have to but people say every word in the title is still a keyword for search algorithms so. Personally wouldn’t think it adds to intrigue or understanding, it just sounds like blablabla after the main part but maybe it’s just my perverted indie dev mind 🤗

A42 Games @a42games.bsky.social · Sep 7

Oh there’s some philosophy involved 🤔 fair enough then 👍

A42 Games @a42games.bsky.social · Sep 6

I’d expect to see some monstrous worm on the cover instead of a headcrab considering the title 😉

A42 Games @a42games.bsky.social · Sep 6

Wouldn’t this just make the title longer but people will continue calling the game just rottenroots? There is a small marketing benefit though ti have more words in the title cause steam search will index them and make the game visible for more people. But then the words need to be more searchable🤔

Hehe thanks 😊
