I'm currently in japan and loving every minute of being here, but holy shit do I miss my bed.

My back was NOT made for futons 😭

Currently working in a game jam and facing my new nemesis:

Drawing a human.

What do you mean I now have to pay attention to human anatomy?? How do I draw hands?!

No thanks, I will stick to humanoid animals, demons, robots and other malformed creatures beyond human comprehension.

Today's progress!

It's a little sequence for when something shocking happens during the court session. The audience is shown and they shout different lines. It will also use our twitch integration to let chat add their own comments (purple)

Fully immersed in his (and your) performance!

Today's progress!

Large Kabuki Mie robot talks incessantly to tiny fox!

I made some dialog and sprites for the (now real) opponent, Gyoza! 🛑😡🛑

#ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #Godot

Idle pose of Gyoza, the opponent of a rhythm mini game playable in my demo "Tiny Tied".

The opponent Gyoza striking a pose while saying "Know this!".

The opponent Gyoza scrossing its stop signs, forming an "X" while saying "No, no!".

The opponent Gyoza looking away in shame.

Today's progress of my rhythm mini game.

The (placeholder) opponent is here!

They can give you visual signals about which button to press.

They also respond to your input! 😊

Currently working on a rhythm mini game.

It's still a WIP, the opponent is still missing.

Who could it be? 🔊

Hey #PitchYaGame !

Do you like RPGs where every action has consequences?

Do you like to have multiple ways to progress, like befriending enemies or get on their nerves?

Or simply doing nothing at all?

Then Tiny Tied is for you! (It's in early development, but still!)

Here's a concept drawing of Gustavo, the unofficial first boss of my demo.

Officially, the Player wasn't supposed to meet him until much later.

Officially, Gustavo wasn't supposed to do a lot of things.

Don't look at him for too long or he'll seduce you.

I noticed that I rarely really drew concepts or sketches for my characters. I've implemented most characters directly into the game during the first draft.

That's why I'm catching up a bit, starting with the main character, Mi 🦊

I just remembered this video of Gustavo's early stage and now his reaction is kinda ironic lol

Early WIP but I think I'm on the right path with his design :)

Obligatory “I should post more about my progress” post that I do every three months or so (I should really post more).

Here's some concept art about the next character to meet.

Maybe the next enemy?

Definitely the next obstacle.

Just some silly dialog between two allies.

Gustavo challenges Allyzabeth to insult him without using the letter 's'.
