An #indiegame I’ve been working on went into a semi-hibernation period for multiple months. We started really pushing again a month-ish ago and it’s so nice seeing stuff that was sorta forgotten start coming to fruition again 🥹
It’s me, still not dead, just distracted.
Went and saw #IronLung a few nights ago and looking more at the game, I’m real excited to start working in finishing up another old #gamejam project.
Manual Override is gonna be lookin real nice.

Kids are out on holiday so I spent the afternoon playing #CookieRun Braverse with the Cookie Run Kingdom soundtrack playing in the background.
I’m ready to accept my #ParentOfTheYear award any time, just lmk.

I’ve been working through The Game Designer’s Workbook by Bobby Lockhart & Erik Lang, and it’s been a blast digging into genres and design styles I wouldn’t normally touch.
It’s pushing me to think way outside my usual lanes and honestly, that kind of creative shake-up feels real good.

Five trick or treaters already. That’s the same amount as the last 5 years combined.

What kinds of media inspire the art and projects that folks create?
My current main focus (Odd Jobs) is hugely impacted by Small Spaces by Katherine Arden. It’s YA horror-lite, but the way it does atmosphere is phenomenal. It really shaped how I approach lighting and mood.

Figured I’m due to share something Odd Jobs again since I tidied up that thing for Narra’s Gambit. Here’s the first (maybe second?) area I worked on after the apartment. Still nothing to do, just #vibes.
May I present to you an #indiedev reimagining of “the ‘burbs” (no not the movie), in #Godot.

I’ve been sick since last Wednesday, and today, I CAN BREATHE THROUGH MY NOSE.
Actually working on Narra’s Gambit stuff today 🥹
Game design is fun and all…but have you ever spent time coding an item discount function into a preexisting code base? That’s where the real fun is.

Jerry, Jeri and Geri aren’t thrilled.

Not yet, but I know it’ll be here in the not at all distant future.

Definitely world builder/designer with just a touch of “placeholder asset factory.”
I’m just now starting to slow my roll and use free assets for prototyping instead of feverishly making placeholder art that I know is just a placeholder. I’m not the only one, right?
…right?

The second place that I wanted to rebuild was the nature commune. I wanted the game to mostly feel urban, but I needed a natural counterpart.
While I was putting together a mood board I saw the phrase, “a place that remembers, but isn’t happy to see you.” That guided this.

This is where the rebuild started. From a small MS Paint scene, to a small “brought to you by #blender” scene.
This is “home base” if you will, so I wanted it to feel grounded, lived in, but just a little bit cramped and uncomfortable.
This is the result of day one in the #godot #3dgame rebuild.

I was planning to immediately follow up with some old pictures, but…not a social media person so I got distracted.
I started “Odd Jobs” a few years ago as a 2D project. It was meant to be a quiet #cozygame that was just a little unsettling. Think Welcome to Nightvale meets Stardew Valley.

By no stretch of the imagination am I a social media person, as I think is evident, but I want to share stuff I make as an #indiedev!
I have Narra’s Gambit, the team project that I posted about months ago, but I have solo projects too! I’m gonna try to be better about sharing stuff.

Just want to share this. The end really stuck with me.
