(I still think the layout of Community is confusing however. Steam Groups, Game Specific Hub, Curator pages linked to the developer name if linked to a group... etc.

Like I get it... but also I don't want to think about it.)

I think the Steam Community Discussions tab is growing on me. It reminds me so much of forum boards.

Oops.

I guess the Godot Showreel submission deadline time was not end of October 1st EST or PST. 😅

Next year maybe I guess.

Sol's Atelier @solsatelier.bsky.social · 7d

Many such cases. (Please don't ask me either.)

Jokes aside, it's completely understandable! Take the time you feel you need! I'm looking forwarded to it!

I managed to implement a pretty big QoL improvement!! 🎉🐘
Now the rotation and movement when using double sand blocks feels more fluid.

I was afraid of how hard it would be to get it working, but it wasn't toooo bad haha. Just took a day!

Added this to the Steam page to show off the outfit changing! 🏖️🐘

Yes, there are that many outfits planned for release! 😌
No, please do not suggest anymore. I will want to add them. But I don't have the time. 😔

I can't believe this was one year ago already! 🥹
It was such a great experience and a great way to end my time living in Japan.

I hope everyone is having a great Tokyo Game Show this year! Hopefully I'll have more time to attend some of these events in 2026. 👀🐘

Bubble Symphony is the 1994 sequel to Bubble Bobble.

I went from 320x224px and 256 colors to 128x128px and 15 colors. Only achievable by very tight pixel art technique

Been busy (understatement).
And too tired to post game dev stuff. 😅

So please enjoy dog pics instead!
