Hey! New #indiegame dev here. I've worked in many genres for the past 15 years, mostly 2D non-violent games. My latest work is the series "Deep Forest", a GBStudio game about a witch saving animals from nightmares.
I make #pixelart asset packs too.

You people really have to know about that band that launched their debut album this year:
Dagger Polyester - Perversion for Profit
Very catchy punk rock gay grooves. Look it up, you're gonna love it.

So I'm reading this 1945 book by C. S. Lewis called "That Hideous Strength" and there's a professor that is very excited by the prospect of getting a salary of $1500 a year.

Doing good UIs is SO HARD!
I put a lot of effort upfront for my UIs to work with mouse, keyboard and gamepad. I've completely rebuilt my UI manager with proper use of constructors and structs but complex UIs can still be tricky.
Just missing a progress bar.

The fun here is that this wasn't scripted. The unit has a kick for pushing bombs AT you but was able to recognize that he'd survive the blast if he used it defensively.
The characters you encounter are capable of making complex multi-turn decisions with their available options to outsmart you 😁

Been a minute, here's a fun gif!
The NPCs in my game never cease to surprise me: Here I threw a bomb near this skeleton so it would blow up next to him next turn, but he instantly kicks it away like we're playing bomberman over here
Wishlist today! store.steampowered.com/app/3919080/...

I've leveled up as an artist. ✨
I was not satisfied with my current character design for upcoming game "The Princess and the Porcupine". I've made more research and pushed the design.
Let me know what you think but me I think it's a tremendous improvement!

The Princess and the Porcupine has a Steam page!
It's still very early in writing and concept phase but I'm quite happy with the capsule I made.
Wishlist now if that's your thing! It will help us look for and secure funding.
