Otto's Basketball Game, version 1.0.0, is now done :--) The game is freeware, and you can play it on (or download it from) Itchio.

It's a simple one-button basketball game with lots of silly details and a good kind of homemade feel to it.

Was messing around with a trailer #music idea today and accidentally made a JRPG town/city theme 😂
Threw it over some gameplay footage here (cause bluesky won't let us upload audio files 💀), and it actually kinda somewhat works a little bit.
Still a bit too whimsical though I think 😆.

Have the basics of Otja's animations and functionality made now. Will be adding more dialogue in the future, and of course her and the teleportation archway will be at the destination too haha, she doesn't just zap you there 😆

Happy #screenshotsaturday, folks!
Was hoping to have some animations finished for Otja for today, but got sidetracked with some lighting stuff. At least she has a break from portal duties 😆.
So here's some more winter wonderland action. Now complete with snowdrifts!

Starting to build some paralx layers for the hub zone. I'm liking the snowy twilight vibe a lot 😊. Gotta make a proper tileset next and animate poor Ottja

WIP of the portal visuals for Helmet Head. The idea is the cyclops lines up her magical eye with the portal arch, it opens wide to fill the space, and starts up this swirly animation that shows your destionation.
Then you step into the eye...

Happy #screenshotsaturday, folks.
I've been mocking up some ideas for the hub biome in Helmet Head, and the portal that will teleport you between biomes. I'm liking the vibe of this so far. The setting will be the site of an ancient, titanic battle. Still needs more to bring that across.

Upcoming discovery mechanic in AstraX, a 2D space exploration game 🚀

It simulates mapping & exploring an entirely unknown world. Instead of showing data about planets, the UI shows discoveries you made of them
