Added spotlights, and cheering zombies! This makes the level feel a lot more (una)lively! #zombies #fightgames #fighter #platformfighter #indiedev #gamedev #retro #retrogames #arcadegames #multiplayergames #versus

New Level - Slampocalypse Now! It's a wrestling ring, where you can stand on the side ropes and hang off the jumbotron! Will be the new training mode, as well as a battle vs Julie in Story Mode, and vs Julie/Barda/Juggernatalie or a brawler variant of Sera in Arcade? Who knows! #gamedev #indiedev

Updating arcade mode. Noticed some pain points I could smooth out. Adding in a Warning if you get too close to the screens edge, and splitting arcade mode into "Normal" and "Hard" paths.

I was told Ashcroft is like "Scott Pilgrim Vs The World mixed with Resident Evil 3" #indiedev #awesomecon

Nintendo charging 80$ for a game while I'm here debating whether to charge 5$ or 10$, and feeling bad that I'm not just letting my art be free?

Listen, let's be real. Corporate games cost an arm and a leg, streaming seems to go up every month, books are like 20-30 dollars, but indie stuff, indie stuff is affordable. Plus we do all the cool freak stuff you won't see in corporate stuff. Get better stuff for less money: support artists

Ok - I think I fixed the memory leak, and fixed the other issue where I destroyed all platforming in my platforming game. Fingers crossed - needs more testing but is looking promising

I love programming. Absolutely love it. Made a minor change and broke something completely unrelated. No idea how or why, or how to fix it.

Debugging a memory leak. So fun.

I am not great at posting. Been running around doing a little bit of everything, and honestly my game dev has all been behind the scenes work - nothing fancy

Needed a break from computers today. Running a test of M.E.G.A T.O.A.D., my platform fighter boardgame. Its like what if Ashcroft or Super Smash Brothers was turned based. #printandplay #indietabletop #indieboardgame

Grillmeister transforming into a Zombie. I'm working on a level set in the suburbs, and want to feature some NPC versions of the Zombies, that (if it's late enough) will transform into zombies #GameDev #Solodev #pixelart #retro

Concept art! For nonzombified versions of the zombie enemies. #gamedev #sketches

D.D. is a boss in Ashcroft's story mode. If you select her in Versus or Arcade mode, you will find that she's much faster than Charlie and Jenny, but has a lot less health. Her special moves are completely different - relying not on explosives but on her Scythe. #indiegames #solodev #fightinggame

Just put a demo version of Ashcroft in the discord server. Having people play your game is absolutely terrifying. You always hope they like it (almost) as much as you do. #indiedev #retrogame #gamedev

Concept art! Drawing parts for my animation. This will be the last bit once it's done. Then I can wrangle my ADHD brain back into focusing on other parts of the game! (Really have a few levels to work on, and fine tuning a few more mechanics) #sketches

Another quick shot. After this, planning on a few quick hits of zombies getting punched, and then editing it all together! #indiedev #retrogame #solodev #indiegame #platformer #platformfighter #fighter
