Finn is a 2D narrative action platformer built in Construct.
While still a school project, it’s grown into a deeply personal story about losing my cat Finn, and how grief shapes and changes us.

LET THERE BE LIGHT! My Construct 3 game, Finn, is coming along nicely! Just a few more mechanics to wrangle in before moving onto art and sound design. 😊

We picked up Illustrator today and will be tracing and colourizing popular Nintendo characters. Thankfully I have a bit of experience with this so I feel right at home. 😊

First day of game school is officially in the books 🎮
We’re starting with the fundamentals; first assignment is building a simple webpage with HTML. It ain't pretty, but it works!

Today’s progress on Ether becoming a reality:
✅ Turn-based combat
✅ Party + enemies on screen
✅ UI doing UI things
Following a tutorial, learning a ton, and having a blast building this.
Need to remind myself to “Make it function first, THEN make it pretty”

I'm excited to share that I've been accepted into a video game design and development program starting in Jan!
I’ll be using this account to document the journey, so stick around! #Indie #indiedev #gamedev

I think I'll boot up a new Bsky account solely for game-dev updates - But today I finally figured out how to create looping hallways, similar to PT / Silent Hills!!

After a week of building, scrapping, restarting, tinkering, and a couple shed-tears, I finally have a working prototype of my megaman clone!
Gunna take a pause on this course and pivot to 2D/3D hybrid RPGs next!

Today's challenge was to build a fire-putter-outer game in Unreal 5 following Jim Dublace's bootcamp tutorials.
Tomorrow, enhancements, damage/death, and fine tuning. #gamedev #indiedev #funemployed
