So, let’s make new friends with some online marketing?

Heyo! I’m Amanda💜

I’m graduating in the spring and looking for entry or internship level role! I’ve made art and assets for tabletop and virtual games. 🫶🏻 I don’t know how to take selfies so take my new business card!

Long time no update! (1/2) I’ve made a whole bunch of art and assets that my team has implemented in. Some cutscene stuff, new dialogue portraits, Bonnette’s room, and so many trees!! 🌲 #PerfectSoupGame #IndieDev #Gameart #GameAssets #StudentGame

A brief introduction of #PerfectSoupGame 🌟🥣 It’s VERY early in development but I wanted to share because I think there will be opportunities for collaboration and community input as time goes on🫶🏻 #indiegame #Gamedev #wip #devlog #indiegamedev #cozygame #gameart #gameassets

New rig who this?

Old Juno meets the New Juno (who needs to be mapped to the controller still lol) 😅🌟 #gamedevelopment #indiegamedev #PerfectSoupGame #gameart #wip

Introducing Bonnette! Our NPC who is the reason we are on a quest around the world. While sick in bed she wishes upon a star for the perfect bowl of soup, thus bringing Juno (the star) into existence. Plus a character portrait of Juno being excited🌟 #gamedevelopment #IndieGame #PerfectSoupGame

Prototype gameplay of Perfect Soup! Dialogue system is implemented- Art and Animation will be added later, but it’s very fun to zip around with stretchy arms! And fun trail effect!! 🌟 #PerfectSoupGame #GameDev #IndieGameDevelopment

this is kind of an old thread but I’m newer to BlueSky! I’m Amanda a game artist who’s working on my senior capstone game! It’s about a star who’s on a quest to make the perfect bowl of soup~ It’s a 2.5D platformer where you zip around w/ stretchy arms- Demo comes out in Spring 2025!🌟

Update: They have names now, Aurelia and Nora! Also have some UI design~ In game you can open your recipe book to look at NPCs you have yet to interact with and ones that you have met! Keep track of them and their quests all in one place :) #GameAssets #gamedev #gameui #PerfectSoupGame

A bit about the game… A girl wishes upon a star for the perfect bowl of soup, and a star is born! You the player are a star who travels across the world to learn how to cook the perfect bowl of soup! It is a story/exploration focused metroidvania. Here is some art style explorations- we chose C!

Some character designs of the main NPCs for the game I’m creating! It’s called Perfect Soup! They have a complex relationship with another (historians say they were best friends) #characterdesign #gamedevelopment
