Going through a bit of a depressive episode following a back injury. #gamedev seems a bit too hard right now.

Enough niceness and coziness. Now it's time for more enemies. Here's a design I'm quite happy with. #pixelart #gamedev

Here is a nice little house for the player's base. How is it? #pixelart #gamedev

The subtitles on the Disney+ version of Bleach are so bad that Rukia was just called a Soup Reaper.

Here's a WIP for the ruins of a chapel, prior to the player's ministrations. Any and all feedback is greatly appreciated! #gamedev #pixelart

It's still WIP, but here's a chapel once the player has repaired it. I'm working backwards on this one. #gamedev #pixelart #wip

I plan to have the player repair buildings in their base, so here is the tower pre, mid, and post-repairs. #gamedev #pixelart

A ruined tower isn't complete without plants growing all over it! #gamedev #pixelart

I think I need way more art assets, so I'm focusing on that for now. Here is the ruins of a tower I worked on today. #gamedev #pixelart

Struggling through some pixel art at the moment. It's so hard to motivate yourself when shit's going down in your home life. #gamedev

I’m seeing a lot of outrage about this story but honestly it’s preferable to the old way of doing this which was both disrespectful of the deceased and traumatising for the puppeteer

making a game is easy! you just gotta write the code, and then you gotta make the levels. and then you gotta write the code but it works this time. and then you make the final art assets. and then you write the code again. and then you write the code again. and then you make the final art assets. an

Me whilst writing/troubleshooting enemy AI code: "Why am I trying to make this rock think? What pathos did I invoke in trying to simulate life? This frustration is my penance, this ire my due." #gamedev
