Finished this level this week! All decorated and filled with collectibles. Even got some fantastic music from one of our composers Jon. Happy with how this turned out.

Got the general level layout finished this week! Now just to add collectibles and some visual polish. For now, here's a little moment I enjoyed putting into the level. #screenshotsaturday

Heads up! I will likely be closing my commissions in a few weeks! I won't reopen for a looong time after they close, so if you want a sketch comm, better get 'em sooner rather than later.

Further level design progress this week. Getting fancy and fun with the geysers. Aiming to have the level finished by the end of the month, but we'll see how it goes.

More or less took this week off of Dribble to recoup after the Chicago showcase, so not a lot of progress to show; just a few small things here and there. I did take the time, however, to animate the logo in a fun way. #screenshotsaturday

God, it's so hard these days to stay optimisitic, to hope that a mindset like this is still something that people at large will try and adopt. But I gotta keep hoping, and I'll keep exemplifying it while I can.

For those wondering, showing Dribble Bounces Back at C.I.G.S. went well yesterday! Lots of people got to play, and everyone seemed to really enjoy it! To all who played and said such kind words: thank you so much!

Here's a picture of some nice folk playing during the event.

All set up with Dribble Bounces Back! at C.I.G.S. (Chicago Indie Game Expo)! (Pardon the old logo on the promo material, kinda printed that too early lol) Looking forward to people trying it! @indiecitygames.org

Big news! I realized it's gonna become important to have a better logo for future public events, so I hired @afroog.bsky.social to give the game's logo a revamp, and they knocked it out of the park! Here's both their HD version and a pixel-art version rendition by me.

Chipping away further at level design this week, gently introducing the player to these spiked cheese balls.

Also, I'll be preoccupied at the Chicago Indie Game Showcase next weekend, so don't expect a gameplay update. Maybe some pics from the showcase instead.

Very flattering of you to say! It only seems quickly from the outside though. Been working for a year and a half and only got 2 levels fully done out of a lot more planned lol. Feels agonizingly slow from my end.

Got some great new SFX in from @caseportman.dev this week! Filling up the sounds missing from the Jacu-Sea level before the Chicago Indie Game Showcase in September. #screenshotsaturday

Not too much progress this week, but I have gotten a small start on the layout for a Lactose Lake level. #screenshotsaturday

Abandon ship, #ScreenshotSaturday! She's taken on too much water... But Cap'n Crabby's not going down without a fight! Avast, be that land on the horizon?

Aye, it's #Moonshell_Island! But something's different...
