Vhoebe - Amothers Lov My debut EP is out NOW! Amothers Lov is eclectic gentle pop about crossing wires in pursuit of closeness. Each song takes you on a journey 💌 vhoebe.bandcamp.com/album/amothe...

working on some sprites for undead hydras (and severed heads)

Testing some wall tiles with windows/doors.

Mina the Hollower coming Oct 31

I've made a Hot Reload template for Odin + Sokol: github.com/karl-zylinsk... The build script compiles the game, but can also set up Sokol (download the latest bindings and compile the libraries). There's also web build support (for making web release builds, it has nothing to do with hot reload).

Social media is a bit distracting of late. I'm going to withdraw for a couple months to focus on current projects. If you want to reach me for help with game perf, iteration times, commission me for something etc. please email instead of DM'ing for now. ❤️ See you soon.

Devstream time: Doing more work on the new www.bfxr.net today - specifically, I'm going to try to recreate sound effects from other games, and see where it leads me - should be a wholesome exercise! twitch.tv/increpare or www.youtube.com/watch?v=vyrI...

Blast from the past: This is Wizwag... from 2017!

Wait I forgot I drew this lol. The rovester #mhwilds

Seemed like an oversight, two line fix! All the code was there to use gamepads, but opened gamepads weren't actually set or tracked anywhere. github.com/jorio/OttoMa...

I went to play the SDL ports of some old PangeaSoft games on my Mac and my PS controller isn't detected. Time to do a pull request...

github ghost ooOOooo spooky

i just want to put them in a banjo-kazooie situation

I was thinking.. what if I just release a worldwide demo and, when you kill a player, your sword EXPAND? Would you play it? #gameded #indiedev

I've been doing some placeholder sketches and I kinda love this messy lil lighthouse. It would be fun to make a whole game with this messy "first draft" art style... And it would take a lot less time 💀

Oh #screenshotsaturday is today! Been super busy over the Easter Break with IRL bodypiercing work but I've managed to map out another chunk of the game in greybox. Things are getting a little bit more intense! #survivalhorror #pixelart #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3354930/...

Having fun making my map editing experience a little bit better tonight. More explicit logic, now fully decoupled from artwork. 🎮❤️ #zeldalike #gamedev

the cool thing about pixel art is you can just load the entire game upfront .... for this game I parse aseprite files and build the entire game into one giant texture atlas, every time it starts, and it only takes 0.35s

DAMN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #mariopaint

Some more N64 Zelda -like Maker shenanigans 👀 #indiegames #nintendo64 #zeldalike

behold: me spending way too many braincells to figure out how to spawn these little pyramid obstacles in fun patterns #gamedev #indiegames #animation

An Always Slightly More Colorful Fairy-chan❗️

We don't really have a good April Fools clip to share.🦋 #gamedev 🌟📝 Wishlist Shrine's Legacy! Links below. 👇

Into the volcano. Still WIP, but coming along nicely! #zeldalike #gamedev #LegendoftheSun

some kinda echoes of wisdom or something idk i never played that game 🎮 #gamedev

It would be cool if GitHub made it easy to see a cloc readout on any repository while you're browsing—it would make it much easier to gauge if you wanted to look at something in more detail.

I made a tiny 64x64 #metroidvania. Available for FREE tomorrow on Steam! Go wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3384890/... #gamedev #pixelart

At some point I have to finish Wizwag and find financial success so I can properly make my *other* games. At least I now know better than to repeat several mistakes of my past. :\

I've started having crashes on my 2020 MacBook Air where things like `Foo x = {0};` crash under Rosetta with EXC_BAD_ACCESS which is uh, spooky. Never seen anything like *that*.

Any time I'm playtesting and do something cool in combat it feels like a waste because I haven't added a "clip that" button yet, so I'm gonna see if I can do that tonight.
