I find Maximalist design is far more friendly to humans. One of my all-time favorite fast food facades is this Little Caesars in Mexico. still a box, but they added to it and turned it into something special.

Please don't change the name, you'll torch your search results and while it's a fun play on words Google is going to "did you mean? " the heck out of it.

This all draws in retro 3d by the way

I'm working on the overworld today and I ended up with more islands than I originally planned but I had to have enough places to explore and hide things. 19 locations in all.

Cool, I love the "Nintendo seal of quality" vibes it's giving. I had to make one for my stuff almost a year ago, and had this been there, I would have used it. Heck, I might still, as what I made is very loud/very 90's.

It's still WIP, but this rotating tower effect is mostly solved. It was a pain to get working, but I'm very happy with it.

I added little birds to the game today. They fly away when you get to close, but not if you stay still. #gamedev #indiedev

I'm really happy with how this dynamic fog effect turned out!
I'm working in gamemaker studio without shaders so this stuff is kinda like a puzzle I get to figure out.

The next logo will be a color you can't see with the naked eye that makes you hear an atonal half chord when you look at it causing you to experience two hours of lost time.

Once a month I run a D&D game. Our adventurers made handy work of this malfunctioning auto farmer.

I've been busy with pixel art lately, making a lot of new assets for the next part of my game. Here are some of them in a test scene.
