Working on a #Cryptsmasher cutscene! It's nice to take a break and do art for the project. 🐭 ✏️

Been sick the last few days so not much done on #Cryptsmasher except I've been laying down the music and sound effects. Amazing how much music provides polish to the game! I'll have a video soon ☺️

Monday mood: my #Cryptsmasher project is on stand still while I work through artist's block for one particular but important design element. Wish me luck!

Working on a fun new part for Cryptsmasher but I don't want to show it because spoilers. Trying to get a demo out soon! 😅

I'm happy to share the official poster art for the #Cryptsmasher Demo! I'm hoping to have a version you can try ready in the next few weeks! Final art by @strayyleafy.bsky.social based on my sketchy doodles 👻

Working on a new area for the #Cryptsmasher demo with criminally tall trees and aerial platforming. Brace yourself for a fall..or three!

@defiantbat.bsky.social I love your logo! Fellow cavy fan here! (I hide my piggy in all my games).

To my fellow #itch game devs: as I get closer to a demo of Mickey Mouse Cryptsmasher, I'm wondering if it's better to make a separate demo page or keep the demo on the main game page. Thoughts?

"Mickey follows the voice in his head into the graveyard. In a dark cave below the graveyard, Mickey stumbles upon a mysterious object."

"Mickey continues to explore the graveyard and begins hearing a voice in his mind.. he feels inexorably drawn towards it..."

I've been posting lots so for #screenshotsaturday I wasn't sure what to post. I figured this shot of the new heart pickups was as good as any! But wait.. is there something behind that heart? Be careful!

Enemies are starting to get a little creepier... flying eyeballs anyone?

Playing with dialogues for the first cutscene but when my brain gets silly and I start writing stuff like this it's usually time to call it a day 😜

Discovering the magic of palette swapping so that the owls can be in the background more and also so you can actually see Mickey in darker, Crypt-ier environments. 👻

The new skeleton walk cycle is in the game! What do you think? I like it, but feedback is welcome!
