Will do the full proper TikTok upload later, but wanted to show off a bit of my character process!
As a game designer and not an artist, I had to get creative and find ways of editing existing assets (like this great Villagers pack from mcsteeg on Itch) to expand the world. #indiegames #indiedev

Got the chance to meet Shawn at PAX West this year and absolutely loved what I saw of Survivors. Give it a look!!
Current demo for Beatdown City Survivors is being sunset on Monday.
Rolling into a playtest, and then Next Fest!
Plus, we've got a stream going where I'm showing off the subway stage and some new characters.
Peep the update on Steam!

Played a bit of Tiny Bookshop today to get an idea of how that game's sold so well, and HOLY CRAP the simulation side of it is so well designed while staying very true to its cozy core.
Genuinely very impressed by the level of investment they were able to get without crossing any lines of stress

Gonna be interesting to see the flood of bizdev analysis on Silksong today
For me it just proves folks still care about indie games, which is encouraging
