I’ve been working on an absolutely enormous, multi-layered painting to create a parallax background for my game. I just tested it for the first time and it works!!

Thank goodness, because this was a LOT of work to paint 😅

I’ve decided to use a fixed world size for my game instead of trying to make it limitless. Since the landscape is always changing, it should still feel like exploring new areas even if you're technically moving around the same space.

Working on tile art now! 🎨

Just added a new, more aggressive predator that will actively chase you, and a heliozoan that floats around minding it’s own business… just don’t touch it!

I spent a whole day making this 💩 animation.
I’m finding that I have a love-hate relationship with animating. I find it incredibly tedious and often frustrating, but at the same time it’s wildly entertaining to see my little creations come to life!

Here’s a little preview of the gameplay so far.

I’ve been working on some new bacteria types with different effects, and today I’m getting ready to add a new, more active predator to shake things up a bit.

I’ve always loved playing games, but it turns out making them is even more fun 🤩
Here’s a sneak peek of the microbe game I’m working on. My very first game dev project! I’m primarily an artist so this is all new to me but I’m having a BLAST. More details about the project to come soon!
