Alright! The preparations are almost complete. (1/2) Ive added a sitting animation for the clients, and in the final game i plan on making it so you can click the keys on their speech bubble to open their orders. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #pixelart

Man, im so close to finishing everything i want to make for the trailer and i cannot wait to show at least part of it if not all of it during the screenshot saturday. Still wondering whether i should add more stuff to it, but im def gonna show some footage this weekend.

Hello everyone! Development on the game is close enough to where i might be able to start working on a trailer within around 1-2 weeks if everything goes well. In the meantime, if you wanted to help me out, im leaving a buymeacoffee link (1/5) buymeacoffee.com/coconutwitch #gamedev #solodev

One thing about being a #gamedev or any other kind of artist is when youre just starting out and see other people make similar things as you much better. It's a bit demotivating, but comparison is the thief of joy, and yall should be proud of what you make, and use that feeling as fuel to improve.

I was really feeling like something in the old bar design i was using was wrong, like, from an interior design perspective. I remade it, but i might just make it so the player can unlock 3/4 interiors troughout the game. #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #art #pixelart

It took me a long time to make something i was satisfied for, especially considering i want to show off coffee in the game trailer. I havent finished the rest of the drinks yet, but this is the drink dispenser background and animation! #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #pixelart

It took me a lot longer to make a single background than i'd have realized! That and the files i sent at my gfs place didnt transfer, so i worked on other stuff. Just wanted to give everyone a peek at the current dialogue system! #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #art #pixelart

I havent posted anything in a while, but i promise its because im working hard on the game. I wanted to show a sneak peek of one of the cutscene backgrounds i'm currently working on, even if incomplete! I think i got better at drawing backgrounds too #art #pixelart #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev

Apparently steam requires a selfie to be able to verify a steamworks account Lets see if 10 months of transition throws them off lmao

The (painful) drawing process is going (somewhat) smoothly! This is batana, Poba's sister, and one of the characters she can talk to troughout the game. I cant wait for everything to be done so i can show yall what ive done! #art #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegamedev

Drawing half body characters makes me exhausted and i struggle to understand how artists do what they do so well and quick Maybe its because i use a mouse to draw instead of a drawing tablet, or maybe its also because i speedran the learning process and im simply not used to it. Not complaining tho

This is doing the rounds, so I do want to re-iterate with as much emphasis as I can, nothing kills my interest in a game faster than seeing AI generated content. And not just because I object to AI on an ethical level, I see it as a huge red flag. Do *ANYTHING* else, draw placeholder MS Paint art.

Sooooooo, my game has a main character and a few cutscenes to talk with other clients at the end of each day. I remember that, 2 months ago, when i made the original sprites, i was very proud But i can say that, since then, ive improved massively! #art #pixelart #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev

@pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixel_dailies #split I cant remember if i said it already, but i love doing these drawings in really small resolutions just because i love putting them in my and my gf's minecraft world. #pixel_art #art

@pixeldailies.bsky.social #pixel_dailies #InteriorDecorating This is my quick try at today's theme! #pixelart #art

God, i think one of the hardest things as a gamedev is when you have a lot of ideas for projects in your mind but you have to focus on one to completion. Right now im not *that* far from completing all the major stuff! [1/2] #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedeveloper #indiedeveloper

There, ive prepared a preview of how the main menu and shop are going to be organized! Im very proud of it despite it not having been polished as much as i want yet. #screenshotsaturday #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #pixelart

You know the pain of when you accidentally make a sprite the entirely wrong scale after being extremely proud of it? Yeah, it happened to me, i want to cry. #gamedev #solodev #pixelart #indiegamedev

I will entirely admit this animation took WAYY too long to make 😭 and ill still have to tweak it and the background a bit... and recolor and resize the icons, and other stuff, but yeah, here it is! #gamedev #indiegamedev #solodev #godot #pixelart

Im currently remaking the after-game shop menu, which has always had a visible background. And for the first time im going to use the small lil conlang i made for this nation in the form of a poster! (The poster says "Love you") #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #pixelart #conlanging

I've seen an hashtag called #pixel_dailies exists and i really wanted to give it a go. Today's theme was #exploration @pixeldailies.bsky.social ive made a low px very quick sketch for today though. #pixelart #art

Alright, im going to now begin work on my game again. I've published the assets and will share the link here once itchio approves them!

Will take a bit of a break from gamedev (a week or less, starting yesterday) to focus on making game assets to sell Best outcome i make some money on the side, worst outcome ill have some assets i can recycle and more experience in drawing.

Unrelated to gamedev but i went to a con and did half a cosplay today (had no wig) My girlfriend cosplayed rem and a friend of ours cosplayed felt

Been reworking the walking animation today morning. I kinda just got blessed with inspiration and ive redone every character, didnt take much. Heres an example vid #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #pixelart
