Sharing a quick entry from my sketchbook. I'm practicing what small corners of the environment might look like. Pigma ink pen on paper. #sketch | #drawing | #nature | #handdrawing

Spent more time tweaking the water reflections and refractions #JS #JavaScript #WebGL #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev

I'm preparing for the next angle in the animation set for the main species in #arborlands. This is all 2D so I'm trying to be consistent from angle to angle without being too much of a perfectionist. #gamedev | #animation | #animal | #indiedev

A remote hill... πŸ” #sketch | #drawing | #nature | #conceptart

Showing the rough outline of the process for creating my first building's graphics. Rough Lines -> Lines + Color + Highlights/Shades. This is a simplified timeline of the process, it's not actually completely linear πŸ˜‰. #graphics | #drawing | #gamedev | #indiegames

Finding hidden creeks in heavily wooded areas is neat. This was one I found last summer. Looking forward to trying to find a few more this year! Hopefully with better lighting next time... #photography #colorado

And old #sprite that's currently waiting to become part of the game... 🌳 #nature | #tree | #gamedev | #indiegames

I heard you like games with isometric square grids… check out Ever War! @700ae.bsky.social

Question for all developers: What do you think are good places to market your games?

My work recently has been mostly refactoring for the upcoming Messenger Outpost feature. I've modified the method of showing/hiding land-tiles to be less heavy and more reusable. Seems to be working! ☁🌞 #gamedev | #indiedev | #programming | #trees

The troop selectors allow you to pick a troop by profession. βš’ #gamedev | #indiegames | #animals | #pcgames

If you zoom out to mapified mode, you can still see which player inhabits each land tile. 🟩🟨 #gamedev #multiplayer #strategy #citybuilder #indiegamedev #indiedev #trees #nature

You can send your main troop to inhabit a forest. After the troop establishes a local population, it can leave 🌿. (population growth accelerated for dev purposes πŸ˜…) #strategy #nature #animal #citybuilder #gamedev #gamedeveloper #indiegamedev #indiedev
