currently working on: a tiny bakery game 🍰 & surviving
My husband lost his job this week (and with it, my freelance gig for his company most likely). This is really scary, BUT I'm trying to tackle it head on instead of panicking.

I've opened an Etsy shop for stream graphics (and stickers, but I'm not that far yet) ✨

I did stay up until 2am to watch a cursed speed run of one of my all time favorite games (pokemon emerald!) and soak in the last bits of good vibes from agdq. It would be a dream come true to have a game I made at gdq… but I gotta make one first!

back to work next week 💪🏻

I'm so excited to reveal my new game project! Trinket Bag Maker is a cozy game where you create bags inspired by the 2000's fashion games ✨

👜 Pick your bag model
🎨 Customize the color/pattern
🌸 Add lots of charms

Thank you @liamtwose.bsky.social & @indiegamelover.com 💜

first workday of the year! my goal is to get a little demo of my bakery game out by February 🍰

Today I reworked the layout of the bakery (more food truck-esque) and it’s no longer floating in a void! Working on getting the v1 assets done this week 💕

made tweaks to our little baker and started mocking up ideas for the new bakery layout! 🍰

also made some decisions about the gameplay that gave me a bit of a headache 😵‍💫

game update! 🍰

i've decided on the more handrawn/illustration style - mostly because it's closer to my own art style (which seems obvious now lol)

so today i did some character sketches, polished one of them up, and made this little breathing/idle animation!

Today's focus is art direction and planning ahead!

I want to do some irl baking for new year's so I'm keeping things light(er). I'm torn between pixel art and a more hand-drawn vibe... so I'm going to try both! I'm going to try out making little cakes in both styles and see what makes more sense.

here's how far we got today! the ui is Not Cute but i'm still trying to focus on figuring out godot.

now that i've got the bones, i am bursting with ideas to make it actually fun! i'm pretty proud of it so far for my first non-tutorial game! 🍰

🥧 progress today: CUSTOMERS!!!!

they walk in, find a pie, take a pie, and leave! (or walk in and wander around for a bit if there are no pies available)

I wanted to try getting as far as I had previously in Gamemaker with making a simple bakery game in Godot - and I actually got a little further!

Oven bakes pie, player can pick up pie, and player can set pie on a display for customers to pick up!

I wasn't lying when I said I was back in my game dev era - I am going to be doing a visual novel game jam in January!

But until then, I'm making this tiny tiny game to learn the ropes of Ren'Py. I've been playing with the UI today ☺️

(I have NOT made the art for this)
