Hi :) Quick Tamamon update ✨ I've added:

- a swimming dash 🌊
- a climbing dash 🧗
- hopping of climbable terrain

I hope that this will allow for more interesting and engaging climbing and swimming sections. Please let me know what you think!

hi chatterino :3

I'm doin commissions to make rent this month, and I just published a couple new services on my vgen! I put one up for portraits/busts and one for emotes :3

#VGen

4 characters arranged in a square. Each one has its palette extracted off to the side.
Top left: A vampire bat girl wearing a white crop top and drinking a blood smoothie.
Top Right: An older man in shiny blue-tinted armor with a big beard.
Bottom Left: An unamused clown wearing a ruff and a black suit of armor.
Bottom Right: A happy clown with a red clown wig and a red nose.

Emotes for Twitch/Discord:
A shrimp, a water bottle, a mushroom guy sitting on top of a robot, an angular heart, a pair of robot eyes, a confused robot, a hammerhead shark pogging, a sad robot, the 100 emoji with the zeros replaced with olives.

That's correct! :)

Bluesky I need your help!
It always annoyed me how items would simply hop on water like on a hard surface so I added some simple buoyancy physics. Does the effect look convincing enough for now?
Please let me know how you like it because I feel like it is missing something!

Great advice, thank you! I tried adding some minor reflections to the water but didn't like the effect but maybe with a nice reference it'll look nice :)

Thanks! That's a nice idea! I already created some flower and rock variations, I think I'll add them tomorrow to mix it up a bit 👍

Mario @mariosmess.bsky.social · Aug 31

Thank you!

Mario @mariosmess.bsky.social · Aug 31

Thanks!

Mario @mariosmess.bsky.social · Aug 31

I always struggle to decide how much time to spend on making the game look nice for you guys so I created this basic prototyping tileset to test out and share level ideas. Please give me feedback! Does it look presentable enough to convey the vibe of my game?

Bluesky I need your help! After a break from my dream monster taming game I decided to pivot from a mobile platform release and instead focus on a PC release.
I already ported all the controls over to mouse and keyboard.
How do you like the resolution and aspect ratio so far?

The sword shadow looks soooo good!

Mario @mariosmess.bsky.social · May 6

Yeah it’s my favorite pixel art font! Thanks!

Mario @mariosmess.bsky.social · May 4

I feel like the pixel art is a little compressed but it looks phenomenal 😍

[EARLY PROTOTYPE FOOTAGE]
This is the last interaction before the player leaves the tutorial cave they fell into at the start of the game :)
Next I would like to polish this prototype with nice pixel art, music and sound effects so I can release it as a demo :)
