📆 New 30-day challenge!!

Some big progress on ROCKETPUNK 🚀 over the last couple of days - infinite level generation, new tiles, improvements to movement, implementation of background (not the final bg, more of a proof of concept)

It's a vertical climb-or-die brawler where your boost is both gun and getaway 💨

Next up: polishing the core feel, building out enemies and level chunks, and getting the first proper demo together.

I’ll be sharing progress as we go - might even drop a devlog soon MWAHAHA 👀

🚀 Really excited to say I’m working on a new project with Resurge Studios: ROCKETPUNK (provisional title 🏗️)

News! I'm looking for work.
I draw clean colorful pixel art, sometimes 3D. Familiar with animation, tilesets, UI, scripting, you name it.

30-day challenge for it, even though I might not announce it at the beginning of every post.

Really excited by this new idea + looking forward to working on a game with a team this time 💪

First post tomorrow..

I think it's about time I got back into posting regularly on here, the 30-day challenge for finishing INKARNATE really helped me to wrap the game up after a bit of a lull.

We have a new idea for a game now that I've done some work on, but for the sake of consistency, I will be starting a new..

.. even when I haven't been especially motivated.

Now all that is left is to release both - but I just need to do a very small handful of touch ups beforehand:

GAME: Splash art finished, last few bugs sorted. The html5 version works now 👍

VIDEO: Will release once the game is available to play

🗓️ Day 30/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Challenge completed! ✅

I wasn't sure if the game would be finished by the end of the 30 days, nor the devlog - but both of them are now. The accountability of having to post every day has kept me disciplined..

🗓️ Day 29/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

The final push - so nearly there now! 😱

Sorted out a thumbnail for my devlog (pretty much ready to go), and a solid base for the cover art.

+ Got some helpful feedback from some playtesting 🗒️

Old Wario Land concept mockup (ca. 2014 I believe.) I was picturing something closer to Wario Land 3, though for whatever reason, I built it around the idea of transforming Wario into a rat that eats gold.

In terms of releasing the game, I'm having some trouble with the html5 web export through Godot, but once that's fixed and the page is all set-up, I should be good to go!

Also planning on releasing the devlog at the same time, so lots to come very shortly. 5 days left of the challenge ⚡
