Bluesky, meet our cozy adventure game, Vista Pantoura: After the Last Shift! Play as a human robot duo, recently laid off, on a soul searching road trip. Tour the hand-drawn island on cool bikes, cook authentic recipes, and collect original indie tunes for the ride! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Let's go! We finally have a proper character select screen! It looks so awesome! ✨🔥

It also includes a bit of lore about them, skill info on hover, base stats, and their dialogue portrait!📜🏹✊🖼️

Day 75-77 #100DaysOfGameDev
Overtime at work has cut into game dev, so I’m working on balance. Still made progress! Smoothed transitions, refined the window animation, and added music to enhance the atmosphere. Slower progress, but staying at it!

Day 73-74 #100DaysOfGameDev
Made great progress over the past two days! Added a window animation to recharge the ghost’s moonlight, smoothed out transitions, and ensured buttons are disabled while the progress bar refills.

Added a fan animation that plays when the button to clear the room of miasma is pressed.

Do you know of any YouTubers who cover specific genres of indie games? Not indie generalists, people who have a specialist genre. I’d love to be able to pass on some of the games I cover (or don’t) to folks who might appreciate them more or have deeper insights. Shares welcome.

Updated the logic so that when any of the progress bars fall below 75%, the little ghosty switches to an unimpressed expression 🎭. Once all bars are back above 75%, it returns to its normal expression.

Does anyone have any recommendations for comics, comic artists, starter packs, or feeds to follow?

Cranking out a couple new Mean Mugs in anticipation of the BOOK version of all of them!

I’ll be doing preorders soon so keep on the lookout! 👀

Miasma gradually builds up in your ghosts room, and you’ll need to help them clear it out (fan animation coming soon). They also crave moonlight now and then...maybe through a window or a special moon lamp?

Got EnemyA (red guy) the oldest enemy, updated Torsos, running, muzzle flashes on legs and now "Surprise" animation where he runs from the bg done in pre-renders. Now I need to redo his stun, death and body parts animations.

i realize that when i'm alone, i sometimes commit to bad ideas and have to change my mind too late. booster packs will not make it into the game. having packs that give random card rewards takes agency out of the players hands. i have something more devious planned.

here's a small collection of gameplay clips for the game i'm working on, tentatively titled "how to Waste Time as a Wizard in the Chess Dimension". there's no audio for the video yet, so just use your imagination for now

I added a few new expressions for the little ghost buddy! Also implemented functionality where the progress bars gradually drain over time and can be refilled by pressing the corresponding buttons.
