While a lot of people focus on color first, I like to instead think about fidelity and pixel density.

This is a good example. The art scales to the pixels, and that improves line quality, produces consistent weight, and helps the sprites "fit" as a single piece of art forming each frame to create a cohesive whole.

I feel like having a consistent pixel size across the entire game is really crucial to the overall visual cohesion of a game

Prototyping is all about experimenting, breaking stuff, and figuring out what works. Embrace the chaos and let creativity lead the way! Fail fast and find the fun! #gamedev

I get really irked when I see people post “indies will save us” or “the laid off devs should go indie” THERE IS NO MONEY publishers are cancelling contracts, angel investors/venture capital don’t want small returns. I think they mean hobbyists with a day job working doubletime & that is a rough ask

This is great advice. There is an unspoken theme in creative jobs that goes something like this “aren’t you so lucky to work in a creative field! Shouldn’t that be enough? You want money too!?” My entire goal in professional art and writing is to be paid enough to create art and writing again.

While most game engines have a highly-standardized Vector2 implementation, GameMaker is lacks a default implementation. So please enjoy this, a very standard Vector2 library for GameMaker. Fully documented with examples: #gamedev #indiedev

My steam page will be up this week and the first 2 weeks are crucial for wishlists (apparently) Will you Wishlist Endvasion? It’s fine if you have no intention of buying it. It will still help. I have an unrealistic goal of 10000 wishlists. Please do it for my ego. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Use your library. If you can afford to them, buy the books. If you consume art, pay your artists. Buy the stickers, subscribe to thier feeds, tip a performer. Pay the people who help make everyone happy.

Games are kinda personal, you know? When I'm working on a new one, there is always this period of time when I'm worried that someone might find out! Aah!

Hello BlueSky! My name is Willow I'm a #gamedev with experience working on tools for Unity, principally, MultiGame (available below) I hope to learn from all of you, to grow as a designer and make games that provoke thought.
