Hi! I'm Sebastian, a programmer making creative management games with @texelraptor.com

I've worked on Parkitect and our current project is Croakwood, a game about building a nice town for little frogs 🐸

I really like making games with lots of tiny people running around 😅

I worked on some new rain effects.
Everything covered by a roof stays looking dry 😊

Hey hey I can finally share what I've been up to which was creating concepts and models for the Dinos & Dynasties Parkitect DLC! 💖 Had a blast working on these, we hope you all enjoy! :D

(tried making a quick shrine to display my Minotaur son 😆)
(ps: Parkitect is on sale, 60% off!! 👀)

Surprise, we just released a new deco-focused DLC for Parkitect!
Dinos & Dynasties adds two new themes (Dinos and Ancient World) and three new attractions.
There's also a free update that adds a cheat menu for sandbox mode.

Get Dinos & Dynasties here: store.steampowered.com/app/3919200/...

Finally reached my favorite part of development: polishing the object placement animations 😊

Reminded of this important document, as true today as it was TEN years ago.

Entitled "Look, I made you a little graph about Game Development"

#gamedev #indiedev

A graph. "Confidence in Quality of Game" on the Y axis, "TIME" on the x. The line starts out confident but by the end is fucking all over the place.

We recently worked on peeking into houses a lot, making sure it's working smoothly and adding some animations for polish 🏡
