#GameDevelopers ! What was the single biggest hurdle you faced when starting out on your #gamedev journey?

For me, it's the learning curve. It's intimidating to say the least! However, my curiosity is driving me forward.

Building a daily #digital #drawing habit to learn new software. This is my #Halloween eyeball drawn in #Krita. #GameDev is going to be a long and hopefully fun adventure. I want to build habits that will help me along the way.

This is the Steam trailer for Star Spark that I'd been working on!

The game isn't done, but just having the store page is a big milestone for me.

Wishlist it if you like what you see!

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this MAGNIFICENT animation, by the talented James Baxter! Note how each of the THREE SECONDARY MOTIONS are slightly OFFSET to emphasise different parts of the action: HAIR jumps UP, SKIRT billows DOWN, RIBBON wraps ROUND! #anime #2danimation #animation

So while I haven't quite decided yet when I want to reopen standard commissions (I don't have the time for Halloween Themed stuff sadly) I DID go ahead and opened Pixel/Sprite Commissions through KoFi!

Downloaded #Godot #GameEngine. Do you have experience with this program?

It looks a little easier to navigate than other game engines.

If you have some tips you want to throw at me, be my guest! :)

Wooden hand study. Thinking of #inventory for #games. Hoping to get going with a #daily digital #drawing habit. I'll look at different drawing tools, but I used #Krita here. #GameDev #Journey

When I was growing up, I played RPG point and click titles such as Beneath a Steel Sky, Gabriel Knight, and Monkey Island. So naturally, as I start my #gamedev journey, I'm thinking of inventory! I think I will try to start a habit of digital drawing daily. Here is an atomiser! #GameArt

I did start trying to create a game in the #FlowLab #gamecreator many moons ago, and I've just dug it out. The #idea for #gamedev was that you would have to catch the raindrops or rainbows, and if you caught lightning, it would end the level. I'm going to try again.

I thought this YouTube video by #ApoxFox on how to get started in #Indie #GameDev was super helpful.

Just getting started on my #gamedev journey, so I thought I'd look up free #art tools for game development. Had a look at #Krita. Did this quick profile sketch using the line tool. It looks like a great program. I'll have to explore it further.

#screenshotsaturday Heavy attack button can be held for a charged version. This character is made from multiple different 2d skeletons which are sometimes substituted for traditional animation. #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania The goal is to avoid the paper doll or "flash" look as much as possible.
