Ghost Song is 50% off on Nintendo eshop and Playstation store. If you have a Switch 2, it runs perfectly in my tests at steady 60 fps (it had some FPS issues on Switch 1, sadly).

#screenshotsaturday It can be hard to tell unless you have a big screen and eagle eyes, but Yuki can smile. She can also turn her head and look around while moving, which took an embarrassing amount of work to make happen #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania

#screenshotsaturday Heavy attack button can be held for a charged version. This character is made from multiple different 2d skeletons which are sometimes substituted for traditional animation. #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania The goal is to avoid the paper doll or "flash" look as much as possible.

Ghost Song was originally created as a different game in a different engine before I scrapped almost everything about it and started over in 2019. The original version was different in quite a few ways, but to sum it up it was darker, edgier, and had a silent protagonist.

my pet project that I may or may not ever make is a fantasy beatemup rpg. Sometimes I doodle ideas for it. #gamedev For a bit I was considering making it my main project, but I felt that business-wise beatemups are too risky to create unless you have a popular ip attached. #art #characterdesign

I made a 2d model (like in Ghost Song) that makes things very dynamic. Unlike GS, however, is that I switch to traditionally animated frames when needed to make the posing more exciting. Ie, these weapon attacks are all traditionally animated #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #madewithspine

Ghost Song is running at a pitch perfect 60 fps on Switch 2. 🙌 I was never quite happy with its performance on Switch 1. If you're a Nintendo player and are interested in my game, this is a great time to play it! #switch2 #metroidvania

Holy crap
Here's my new tattoo of @mattwhitedev.bsky.social's Deadsuit/Blue from Ghost Song, @marthawells.com's Murderbot and @teamcherry.bsky.social's Vessel from Hollow Knight. All protecting my old lotus. Just as they did for my identity journey and life.

spent the past day trying to improve the look of Yuki's dress a bit. Tricky getting it to move right.
Also -you'll see this soon enough- she can equip various weapons, hold them, swing them, etc.

Animated Yuki on the status screen. She'll stare into your soul as you decide on stats and equipment. #gamedev
Do you like Yuki? I've been working on her in various forms for quite some time. There's still a lot more to learn about her, stay tuned!

An early look at Yuki in my game The Silver Sun. #screenshotsaturday Note the asymmetrical right shoulder detail, hair and clothes that can blow in the wind, and various head details. I finally get to make a character with a visible face 🤓

Super Metroid's attract mode always sparked my imagination in a huge way when I was a kid. Why don't games do this anymore? I want to put attract mode into my next game.

Any other artists/creators put tasks off because you've got high expectations for the results of a given piece and you fear the negative emotional experience of working on it and it not being immediately awesome? And so putting it off becomes easier... This plagues me

Modretro Chromatic (basically a nice remake of the game boy color) next to my original childhood game boy, which no longer works.
Sometime as a hobby I'd love to get into making Game Boy Color games... What a cool challenge that would be! Anyone used GB studio before?
