I was helping and meowing in the background a bit :3 🐈 This turned out pretty cool!

Ocha-! @teahouseocha.bsky.social · 4d

I am extremely normal and got an impulse to dig up my gamecube, F-Zero GX, an extra crusty scart to hdmi converter-

and spent the entire day making _this_ on a bitcrunched 240p resolution screen. You know, instead of doing anything I had scheduled.

I call it
the GENDER CLAW 🏳️‍⚧️ 😺

Working on the last few levels of MeowGun. This one is E3L5: Alien Mothership.

MeowMeow has just casually parked her spaceship inside the hangar bay and she's ready to wreck house. Aiming for a very futuristic look here. Also made some more QuakeCute vehicles with the level editor 🐈

Had fun playing a hard/dark side run of Jedi Knight 1 with @teahouseocha.bsky.social until this final boss Jerec (Jerk). I was having trouble trying to defeat him with just the lightsaber until Ocha reached further into the dark side and came up with this method: Force Sequencer Charges x15 💣

Hey guess what?
MeowGun is 24% off during the Steam Autumn sale too!

It's a cool shooty game where you're a catgirl who fights against tyranny and you can meow a lot. 🐈

Wouldn't it be a... shame
if you missed out on this? ;3

If you want to upload lengthier videos with decent quality and file size, I recommend trying out an open source compression tool called HandBrake. It has helped out a _ton_ with posting gamedev stuff and such here. It's pretty powerful - you can get things even under 10mb at ok-ish quality. 🐈

Added a critical missing feature to MeowGun:
Being able to pet cats. (Robot cats, it counts!)

Summon them with yummy taiyaki, they come to boop enemies and boost morale (health) for a while.🐈

The green player (my gf) is terribly allergic to them, so she's struggling a bit. Hang in there.🙏

Played MeowGun: Hell Denizen in splitscreen with my gf (galactic federation) trooper :3 Was a lot of fun, caused a lot of meowhem together!

About to take some rockets in the face 🫠

This level sure turned out fair and balanced! 😇
(It's MeowGun's hardest secret level, partially inspired by Plutonia's Go 2 It, so you can imagine the kind of gameplay this one has.)

Here's a demo reel of some upcoming music in MeowGun: Hell Denizen! Total 14 tracks for levels in the game (9 in the vid) 💿 🎶

Made some new ones and dug up a lot from my old music archives and updated 'em for game use. I feel they turned out great, so give them a listen if you can! 🐈

MeowGun's player character, MeowMeow, got a new cuter look! :3 @teahouseocha.bsky.social sketched a new design and I promptly decided we're doing that. She also did the face textures and expressions! Turned out great 💖

New version coming up soon with this and much more!

Found Fasttracker 2 clone, experimenting with it a bit if I still remember how to use it. Started making music with Fasttracker 2 on DOS when I was some 10 year old after my big brother showed me how to use it.

Pretty fun so far!

Close, it's a Quake based engine called FTEQW.

Working on the Episode 4's underwater base level in MeowGun: Hell Denizen. Here's some work in progress screenshots~ Interesting to design a level with more swimming/diving sections. #indiedev #fps
