More enemies, particles, juice 🧃

Still rough around the edges, but the project is chugging along. Plan is to release it at the end of the year, so I can look into the next one without projects looming over me.

If you are interested in the development, check YT!

Shapez - #playdate learning project 🟨🧵

I recently got the itch for actually diving into Playdate development, so we hopped into the API and SquidGods channel and went ahead to make a little shooter game.

Aiming for a very small scope, just to dip our toes into the system.

Might be a bit hectic this week as I have things to get used to, but hopefully this will stay! See you in chat!

Gamedev is back for a bit, until my burnout allows, then some gaming and stuff. I'm also working on a "monthly" kofi article!

With the results out, I can say, not bad. Considering gameplay balance was a whack and this is my first proper #love2d game, I'm happy.

#lowrezjam #gamedev #indiedev
Result from lowerezjam on my entry, lightcrawl. Overal 34th out of 119, with creativity at 26, audio at 36, gameplay at 40 and graphics at 44th place!

Sometimes you won't make it far 🪦

For these moments we have a nice scene pepared for your eventual demise. A little stat screen and you nemeis who delivered the final blow

#LOWREZJAM #indiedev #gamedev #love2d #lua
Game over scene for our upcoming lowrezjam entry, lightcrawl. A stylised game over title, followed be the distance the player ran and the enemies they defeated! After all this a little tomb with the enemy qho defeated them next to it as a sligjt nod to the current gameplay loop.

You remember those stupid mobile ads? ❓

Now we have those as well, in a better way, I hope! These kind of choices will be frequent on your journey so choose wisely! Are you sacrificing a health for one more durability?

#LOWREZJAM #love2d #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #gamejam #pixelart
"Mobile add game" like choices added to the game. They are spawned and interacted the same way as enemies, just walk into them! They always consits of two values, one might be negative, and effect the player stats. Little anvil or heart like icons showcase weapon durability or player health changes

We have actual combat and better UI ⚔️

Lot of progress today on stream which resulted on the basic combat fully implemented. Armor, weapons, weaknesses and berserk enemy skill already in the game!

🧵The #LOWREZJAM 2025

Finally broke free from the grasps of python and could actually sit down and work on our entry!

An infinite runner made in #love2d, or at least infinite until your weapons and HP will last! ⚔️ Using only 1 button!

Quasar Las(e)ar! 🎇

One more to join, this time I tried to draw a Quasar! For the first time I'm happy with it and hopefully it will improve in the future!

108x184, palette: rising-sun-gb from lospec

#pixelart #space #digitalart
A new art joins the space theme. An active quasar in the depths of space expelling mighty beams into the vast nothingness. Be careful, activate shields and DO NOT APPROACH! Dithered dust clouds forming rings around the exploding stellar object in the middle, while the lone spaceship carefully avoids it in the shadow shadow of two lonely dead planets.

🧵 Space art thread 🪐

I recently got inspired by @dyamode.bsky.social to draw mobile background and always wanted to explore space as a theme, so here we go, some space themed mobile backgrounds. (soon on Ko-fi for free).

108x184, palette: bittersweet lospec

#pixelart #space #digitalart
Space art cuz my recent fascination of art backgrounds for phones. A lonely spaceship cruising between a double ringed planet and one that is illuminated by a bright white/pink star behind it. Edge lighting and dithering into the background color to help sell the empty darkness as well. Some space jellyfish on the bottom right swimming out of a fluffy space cloud. Dim stars illuminating from parsecs away.
