Thanks @adventuregamegeek.bsky.social ! You're a legend.

Thought I'd share a portrait of Wladka I painted last month for fun and practice, went for something stylized with big eyes, and tried to capture her kind of malaise / sadness, but I think it came across more bored perhaps.

Not bad though! I wish I put more time aside for digital painting.

Wireframing is helpful when you haven’t figured out exactly how a room should look or function. Draw something quick, put it in the game, and see if it feels good! If it doesn’t, you can try again before you commit many hours of pixeling and architecting. #pixelart #gamedev

An important part of game development is being open to iterating, like adjusting the layout of a town when testing shows that players get confused with where things are. Sometimes, this means a scene can change over ten times- like our town of Krkanov has!

Anna is the beloved maid of Castle Dornstein. She’s also a great source of local knowledge, and it might be wise for the player to get on her good side…

A few years ago we released our first full-length game, Metaphobia. It’s a totally free & fully voice acted retro point-and-click mystery game that won “Best Animation” from the AGS awards in 2019. Check it out here! store.steampowered.com/app/1220930/...

A unique door animation for our game Castle Dornstein is 59 total frames, and the player only sees it once! If you ever hear us call gamedev a “labor of love”, this is why 😂 #indiedev #pointandclick #pixelart #storyrich #mysterygame

We just added the first dog to our game Castle Dornstein, but it doesn’t seem right to have only one. We should add more, right? #indiedev #pointandclick #pixelart #storyrich #mysterygame

We’ve had a few questions recently about things like platforms & release date for our game Castle Dornstein, so we decided to make a development update & F.A.Q. post. Check it out now on our Steam page! store.steampowered.com/news/app/159...

We want our game Castle Dornstein to be rich with lore and backstories. Much like Hemlock, our main character, you’ll be more successful in navigating conversations and puzzles if you take the time to learn more about the history of the land.

Check out this art progression of The White Raven, the town pub in our game Castle Dornstein, a retro point and click. (Don’t mind the ghost bartender😅)

I wanted to make a thread explaining how I put together a complex closeup scene for our point and click adventure game, Castle Dornstein, using @aseprite.org and @makham.itch.io's excellent Pixel Composer.

This scene takes place about midway through the game. Pretty dramatic. Let's take a look 🧵👇
