Devlog #23 for Crystal in Carnations is here!

It was quickly apparent that posting devlogs is super time consuming when you decide to post them on 4 places

To manage my workload I'll post them to Steam and itch from now on and link them here for those interested :)

Testing some emote animations to add expressivity (is that a word?) to the pixel art units

Working in the limit of 300 characters drastically reduces my "I think"s, "maybe"s "just a thought"s and other guarding phrases I've been socialized to use as a feminine person

Mt favorite type of narrative is the following experience:

1: interesting mystery premise
2: wtf is going on
3: how can any of this end up making sense
4: wait
5: It DOES make sense!
6: omg my heart is broken

My mom has a cat for the first time in 35 years! His name is Kalle Henrik. He was super social after I lured him out of the sauna with treats 🥰🥰🥰🥰

The tiniest thing that drives me mad about gamedev is that at work I use console.log, and at hobby project I use Debug.Log and I constantly write the wrong one due to confused muscle memory! Aaagh!

I was supposed to focus on coding this sprint, but I ended up spending a whole week on pixel art UI design and animating this kind of flare 😅 Whoops... (I’m super proud of this one in particular!)

This is Crystal in Carnations Devlog #22

I've started to post these devlogs also on itch.io and steam. Keeping up with 4 platforms to post on might be quite exhausting though, so we'll see if I need to ease up.

My spouse is fighting a boss in Silksong and I ask him a question:

Spouse: "Sorry, I cannot process your question at this moment. Please leave a message after the sound signal."

Sometimes I feel really bad about having worked on this game for 3 years and only now am I implementing some super basic stuff.

Then I remember we switched engines only 3 months ago, so of course a lot has to be made from scratch and maybe I should be a bit less hard on myself

Working on the battle flow now. Of corse still missing a lot of details, but at least something happens now visually.

Next I'll implement a death animation, sounds and damage numbers. I also want emission maps for the skills, but that might have to wait a bit.

This is Crystal in Carnations Devlog #21

It's been quite a stressful sprint. I managed to hire a renovation company straight from hell to paint our walls. I'm honestly surprised how much I personally got done despite dealing with that!

A very art-heavy 🧵™

I've got three packages that were all delivered to different locations, because there isn't always space in the main post locker. Big sigh.

Barnabas is a comic relief character and probably my favorite. he's a man misplaced in time. He's an excellent mercenary, but he would absolutely THRIVE in today's workplace culture. He speaks like he's from medieval LinkedIn. He is a true menace and I love him.

I commissioned @ormurinn.bsky.social for a second piece of keyart for my game! When there are two protagonists, it's not fair if only one of them has a fancy key art, and my, did Ormurinn do her justice! ❤️

Countess Felicite comes to mind (No, I cannot stop tweaking her design)

As the countess of Rieux, she's easily one of the richest characters we have and her life is pretty much non stop balls and politics = eats well, no boredom.

Though I would probabaly wind up getting assassinated in her shoes.
