I wrote about this a few days ago and deleted it, but maybe it's valuable to point out. Being able to work less than other people because of ADHD and depression really makes me feel inadequate sometimes and maybe it would be less bad if some jobs were more inclusive to that

August - Bullet

#patreon #digitalart #characterart #blazblue

A tan woman with platinum blonde poses to the camera, one arm reaching towards the viewer while the other is reared back for a punch. She has a scar across her nose and wears a high collared black jacket with gold trim which is open in the front, a white shirt beneath it zipped halfway, dark blue pants, and a leather belt which whips around her almost like a tail. On her arms is a pair of golden gauntlets and brown fingerless gloves. One fist is wreathed in flame, a spark emitting from the gauntlet, while the other only has a few flecks of fire coming off of it.

Okay, now we're near the end of September, update on this:

While I have made SIGNIFICANT progress, this game still isn't quite ready for that playable alpha I was aiming for. I'll be taking another month and we'll see how that goes.

Thank you everyone so much for your patience 🙏

Hey there gang. As you may have noticed, I haven't posted many updates on ManaTrigger as of late. This isn't because no progress has been made, I've still been chipping away at it, but truth be told I've hit a wall with it that I think will need time to address. So here's what I'm gonna do. 🧵

Tomoka | Now Developing ManaTrigger! @tomokadev.bsky.social · 15d

Thank you! I spent a long time getting them to work right (and tbh they're still missing a lot of functionality lol) so I'm glad to hear the work is paying off ^-^

Tomoka | Now Developing ManaTrigger! @tomokadev.bsky.social · 15d

Excited to share that, by the barest definition of the word, we finally have Gameplay. It's janky and needs work, but two characters can move around (even more than shown), block attacks, get hit, and "die" (disable their input). Still hard to believe it honestly x.x

some #comic tips for artists who do #art [1/2]

every panel=a different thought/emotion/mood (I DONT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THIS ANYMORE BUT IT IS GOOD ANYWAY)

cutting a panel in two implies time has passed and mood has changed

Just spent like 8 hours playing silksong, gonna go to bed so I can wake up, get my work done, work on my game a little, and then play more silksong lol

Tomoka | Now Developing ManaTrigger! @tomokadev.bsky.social · Sep 3

on the plus side, the recent news is motivating me to try and fight my social anxiety long enough to at least try and go to an offline local. I know there's at least one decent sized one but I've always been too anxious and scared to go. We'll see if it works out this time. x.x

My partner and I (2/4th of SNW) are both trans and attempting to leave the US (I’m also an Arab immigrant). It’s extremely expensive, so please consider buying our game/leaving it a review so that we have some sort of income when we inevitably have to make the jump and start over. Thank you.

Reminder: We're still looking for someone to help out with this character, as the main spriter will be taking on 30% of his required sprite set. Reach out if interested, paid or volunteer.

Walk animation WIP for Scias. Pretty good starting point, ngl.

🔔Quick look at Battle Queen Development Progress

As we have seen previously, this is waifu fighter from a Korean developer, IX9. As of now, it seems they have 10 fully playable characters, from a roster of 12

Despite the obvious fan-service, the character designs are actually really cute and cool!

I may post art of the characters from time to time, as they'll be a good source of practice, but don't expect anything else until further notice once the prototype releases. I might even make a smaller game with the setting. Whatever the case, you'll know when I return (and I WILL return to it).

Tomoka | Now Developing ManaTrigger! @tomokadev.bsky.social · Aug 27

After that is done, development on the game will probably go dark for a little while. I've come to accept that I really need to refine my skills in other areas if this game is going to be as great as I envision it, including my illustration, my animation, and my overall dev skill.

If I can squeeze it in, I'll try to get local multiplayer and a basic CPU working so people can test things out better, but I make no promises on whether those things will get done, but know that I will do my best.

Next month I will be focusing on the game as much as possible to get a playable prototype working. It won't at all represent the aesthetics of the final game, but god willing it will give at least a sense of the mechanics. It'll have one character, a basic training stage, and that's pretty much it.

Done! I really love this design for Jam, excited to see her in Strive when she eventually releases. 💜

#digitalart #fanart #GuiltyGear #GGST #JamKuradoberi

Jam Kuradoberi, a shortish chinese woman with brown hair worn in a large hoop, poses in a martial arts stance. She has a red skirt which is slit along one side, a red crop top, and a white jacket with billowing red sleeves. She grins mischievously behind a pair of large circular glasses.
