I'm going to try my best to answer all the questions absolutely no one asked me about my game. Starting with the least asked (0 asks) and ending with the most asked (0 asks).

Question 1: Can V dance?

Answer: Yes, sort of.

You know that feeling when you have soooooo much work still to do but your brain keeps saying "Hey, remember that Nicolas Cage picture you started ages ago?"

So, anyway: Here's Pixelous Cage!

Right, I really have to get some work done 😂

Took a break from the stressful stuff to polish the fire particle effect. Next up: Animation.

I need a custom animation system for this character that will seamlessly transition between multiple animations depending on the physics. Should be a fun day tomorrow!

Thought I would write a little tutorial on how to make a videogame. Hopefully it's helpful.

Still working on my gesture drawings and thought I'd try and use them for something.

I think my gesture drawings are improving. They have got less stiff as the days roll on. Couple this with some anatomy study and hopefully I'll be able to draw something cool soon 🙂

Spent a lot of last week making art assets look less like penis'. Then I loaded up my level editor and ahh...this was supposed to be gun shaped.

I very much regret choosing purple as a base colour. Maybe pink next time 🤔

My game is a love letter to games that I love. Here is a Metal Gear Solid 3 reference. What a thrill.

The FIVE ARCADE reveal trailer!

Five Decades of Gaming History to shoot and fly around in. People make games. People play games. Games make me happy. Our history, our future, our community. Let's keep making them! Let's keep playing them!

Just wrapped up my game trailer. I'm hoping to have the game wish-list-able next month. Bluesky is me main social media thingy so I'll post the trailer here first because you are all legends and have been super supportive.

Game announcement tomorrow!

Thanks in advance

It is scary, but if people don't like M the Penguin, then I don't understand how people work 😂

He likes bats 🙂

One of the coolest things about game development is creating a disabled floating robot penguin with a walking stick who loves games and heads to the arcade.

This might be a more personal observation but still...

Trailer coming Friday!

That hilarious moment when you reorganize your tilemap and forget to tell the level editor.

You have to laugh at these moments because it's either that or the very accurate realization that I have no idea what I'm doing and it's Saturday night.

Still preparing a trailer for Friday! (deadlines, even self-imposed ones, are scary) but here is a screenshot of me upcoming game.

This is V, one of the characters you'll play as.

Really excited to show you all this game!

If my 4 year old daughter is this excited about a UI element then I think I've done a good job 😁

Trailer in 7 days! So excited!

Found some of my art supplies after the move. Hardly flawless work but here's me first drawing in a while.

I'm struggling with the ole depression and have been trying to smile, which made me think of All Might.

Next one will be better.

What happens when you give a sentient candle a flame thrower (or two)?

Getting closer to a trailer! (I'm so tired)
