Solo indie developer with AAA programming background. I worked on both Dying Light games, Warframe and Soulframe. I've recently finished my first indie game: Abyss Chaser #GameDev #IndieDev #SoloDev #PixelArt
This is gonna be the last post about light and shadows for a while. Time to do some actual gameplay :D That being said, I'm really happy by how this hybrid soft shadows turned out :) #pixelart #shadows #lighting #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #goth #survival

Proof of concept for my 2d hard infinite shadows. Eventually I'm going to turn them into soft shadows and also have the vegetation cast and receive shadows... but it's gonna be a different technique. For smaller objects I don't want the shadow to be infinite ;) #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #shadows

Testing the shading of my voxel-based objects and how well they blend with the pixel alrt sprites. I guess it starts to look quite decent. Next step - the actual shadows on the terrain :) #pixelart #voxels #light #shadows #goth #blonde #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #unity

WIP version of my lighting model. Still no shadows but I'm getting there. Forcing sprites to look like they have some depth sure was a challenge but also a lot of fun :D #indiedev #goth #blonde #lighting #solodev #2.5d

As promised the first look at my protagonist in Unity. Screen cropped to 512 px to focus on Hope. There's still no sprite lighting so they're dommed to look flat but every project needs to start somewhere, right? #pixelart #2.5d #animation #unity #indiedev #solodev #blonde #goth #survival

Aand finally the side idle. I'm done with the basic animation set. I promise the next thing you see here will be rendered in Unity :) Time to get this project rolling. #pixelart #animation #goth #blonde #indiedev

Nothing too fancy this time but wanted to share consistent progress nonetheless :) This time it's back idle loop for my protagonist. Still 100% done in Aseprite but in-engine renders are coming soon! #pixelart #animation #blonde #goth #survival #idle #indiedev

I'm not a big fan of the classic pixel art bobbing idle animation so I tried going for something different. This is my take on a natural idle pose with weight shifting and subtle looking to the sides. #pixelart #animation #blonde #goth #solodev

Let's play a guessing game in the comments. See how well I can communicate my idea through this design.
1. What is the genre of this game?
2. What do you think is going on here?
3. What can you tell about the protagonist?

I've finally tried to place her into a target environment and test the sprite in a context animation. I hope that the next animation I post will be captured in-engine. #pixelart #animation #woodcutting #goth #blonde #indiedev #solodev

This time a scene from Abyss Chaser - the game I'm hoping to push out of Early Access soon. This is Lady Astarte. A demon with cryptic motives and Abaddon's most important ally. #pixelart #demon #blonde #animation #idle #indiedev #solodev

By far the most challenging walk angle I've done so far. Skirt and hair sway are intentionally exaggerated to make her stride feel more confident and dynamic. What do you think? #pixelart #goth #blonde #walk #walkcycle #skirt #animation #indiedev

This time I tried my hand at animating side walk animations for my protagonist. The animations are symmetrical except for hairstyle, axe and the glowing mark. What do you think? #pixelart #pixelanimation #indiedev #solodev #goth #blonde #walkcycle

First animation of my protagonist: Hope. This was lots of fun but also quite a challenge. I never tried 8-frames female walk cycle before. Let me know what you think about it! #pixelart #walkcycle #indiedev #solodev #goth #blonde

Can't decide on the hairstyle for my protagonist. Which one do you like best? #pixelart #indiedev #solodev #goth #hairstyle

Progress on my protagonist. Trying different perspectives to make sure that the silhouette works at every angle. Gives a cool "spin" effect if animated. Still not sure if the pixel count is enough... #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #goth

Eisheth - silhouette and idle animation update. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #abysschaser

What do you think about the trailer for my upcoming demo relase? #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #roguelike
