The new issue of @cranknockout.bsky.social has arrived and I am excited to say that I am currently helping to host the Pulp Lab section with lessons from me and Pixel Ghost games in the next issues and hopefully some other prominent Pulp devs in the future!

It's still mega early days but here's a look at how Life's Too Short HD is looking after rebuilding everything with different artwork. Still not totally sold on all the tiles etc but it looks super cute...

I completely rebuilt the world for Life's Too Short HD using a different asset pack as this one has so many great tiles I will use on the sequels.
It was a lot of work and doesn't look quite as good yet but it'll be worth it...

Got this finished! "As Dead as a Doris" will be part of @ldbrart.bsky.social's Halloween project.
More news soon but this one is really exciting for @play.date owners!

Now the game functionally works, has some basic animation (that took so long in Pulp...). Final job is to develop the dialog and actually write the story!
This has been a really fun little project and can't wait to see everyone else's entries!

Now finished with art on this and imported into Pulp. Just the task of programming the systems and figuring out what on earth is going on with the different characters :-D
Mostly this has been just drawing what comes to mind first to hit the deadline..

It's obviously mega rough and that portrait is placeholder but Dialogic is a really nice system to work with in Godot. Once I've got this to a good place, I can start bringing in a bunch of the script from the original game 👌

Spent maaaaany hours getting through a #godot tutorial on dialog and quest systems and then discovered Dialogic.
At least I learned something along the way...right? :-D

It looks suuuuuuper nice and it'd be great if someone could take the assets and make something special!
They've been collecting dust a bit (Zing!) and convincing Elliott to publish them has taken some time so hopefully they're up someone's street!

This is my first desk as an adult (at 38 years old). I’m obsessed!

It's amazing how many sessions in #godot just become tinkering and tweaking. It's still so satisfying just to potter around. Life's Too Short HD is slowly coming together but I really need to add more content/features soon 😅 #indiegamedeveloper

1) Life's Too Short HD: A remake of the @play.date game using Godot to make it look all snazzy!
I'm currently working on making the house and ghost look good. The lighting in @godotengine.org is so nice to work with...

Back from a restful vacation in the van travelling to France, Germany, Austria and Slovenia. Now ready to tackle some creative projects!
As well as the day job, these are the projects we've got brewing in the near future!

Changed the approach and connected all the rooms together, hiding a room that's not in use. Feels much more slick! Needs some tweaking etc but I'm happy to have solved this...#indiegamedeveloper
