What it feels like when you're an indie developer on a tiny team juggling multiple roles. Catching your breath for a moment hoping the monkeys don't show up.

What would probably help build interest in Cake Maker is if I showed you all the main menu! This is how it looks in dev build .8.43. It might get a little bit of change for release but here's a peak into Tom's bakery! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamdev
Spoiler for those who want it to be a surprise.

I got a message asking "Will Charlotte's voice be used for AI training?" Answer: "No!"
I'm pretty opposed to AI generated content and think art is really only worthwhile if it's made by people. So expect to see this when we get the game finished. #indiedev #indiegamdev #gamdev #noai #indiegame

Design question for female followers. In an earlier character design one of my characters wore a simple black choker because she likes to feel a little pretty. She wears a few bracelets for the same reason. My question is are chokers seen as a suggestive accessory now? #characterdesign

Tom Poplin is the owner and main baker of Poplin's Bakery. He's the second character in the game I'm making. I went through roughly 3 designs before hitting what I felt was the right tone for Tom. I wanted him to look like a simple, little fun guy. #indiegamedev #characterdesign #gameart

Took me a while but the jordbærtærte is done for Cake Maker and I really like how it came out. I bet it will excite players the first time they merge two pan dulce. Two treats left!
Spoilering it for people who want the surprise in the final game. #gamedev #indiedev #gameart

Concept sheet for Tom, the owner and baker of Poplin's Bakery. This is for a game I'm trying to make. This is a first pass, might give him another shot later to push his design. #gamedev #characterart #conceptart

A little expression sheet for Charlotte I put together. Remember, she's grumpy so a lot of her emotions aren't "positive".

I got a lot of follows for OCs. So here's a character from a project I'm working on.
Charlotte is a grumpy 20 something who just wants a decent job where she doesn't have to interact with irritating people.
Still might exaggerate her design some as the project gets further along. We'll see.

I'm mainly interested in character design but I know I'm probably going to have to learn to make anything. So send me whatever you got. I'm happy to at least peek at it.

"Death of Her Best Friend"
Marcille Donato mourns her best friend different than Donna Hayward did. Based on Donna's reaction in S1 E1 of Twin Peaks and Marcille's expression in S1 E24 of Dungeon Meshi.
