Pythia is now out on @itch.io! Built from scratch in just under 1 month, I'm incredibly happy with how this little project has turned out. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #gamejam

Pythia passed the Steam Deck test! Unfortunately it’s the weakest hardware in my house to test on lol. It actually worked pretty well with touch controls πŸ€” #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Wake up, babe, new commissioned music just dropped! #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Took a stab at the main menu. Also here's the tentative title for the game πŸ˜‰ #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

I discovered DoTween and it's amazing! I wish I had used it at the start of this game jam, but just look at these buttery smooth animations! Also super glad this is a month-long game jam. Took me two days to rip out the old animation system. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #screenshotsaturday

An illustration of Hyurle in the #Zelda: Link to the Past Player's guide, 1992, by Katsuya Terada Full scans here: archive.org/details/zeld... If you didn't grow up in the 80's: this book was the closest thing we had to Creating a Champion. Getting it online is why I had to start my site

Spent today adding localization for some reason. I guess because I've never done it before and wanted to try? Regardless, jank #French, #German, and #Spanish now exist in the game lol. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

A couple of years ago I put together a pretty massive blog post on how to improve your pixel art, focusing on eight lessons to learn from a pro: @threeohfour.bsky.social. innkeepgame.com/eight-ways-t... Check it out and give us a retweet if you found it helpful! #pixelart #indiegames

So I decided to see what'd happen if I set the game speed to infinity ∞. You know, for science πŸ™‚ #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Got the first 8 wildcards working. Animation is a little jank, but so long as they're functional for the game jam that's all I care about 🀣 #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Started making the art for the wildcards in my Balatro-inspired game. You can sort of think of these like Jokers mixed with Relics from Slay the Spire. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #rougelike

Been adding new tarot cards at a pretty solid click. Here's a preview of a few. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

So I added the a new tarot card to the game and quickly found myself in situations where I could deck myself out. The solution? The Rubber Duckee card! #unity #gamedev #indiedev #rougelike

Alright, here's my second shot at the UI. I tried out most of the ideas from my last post on it, but it felt like it was pulling focus from the main area of the game I wanted players engaged with. Therefore I decided to opt for a middle ground. #unity #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Instead of spending Β£300 on a binaural mic for my game dev work, I spent Sunday evening with some rubber ears from ebay, toilet roll tubes, duct tape and milliput to make one myself for under Β£30.

This industrial design isn't very fitting: anyone have some ideas for how I can make it lean more into mysticism/fortune telling? #unity #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #roguelike

Making progress on the diegetic shop menu. The items on the shelves match what's on the chalkboard. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #unity #unity3d #madewithunity #gameart #wip #digitalart #diegetic

I regret not using the fastest game speed to stress test my game πŸ€¦πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ #unity #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #roguelike

Started this card game on New Years Eve and, about 1 week later, I think it's starting to look really good! I've got a pretty good idea in mind for where the game is going and I'm pretty stoked to see it get there now πŸ’ͺ🏻 #unity #gamedev #roguelike

πŸŽ‰ Yesterday was our BEST SALES DAY EVER!! πŸŽ‰ It even beat out LAUNCH DAY 🀯 To everyone who has recommended, spoken or written about 1000xRESIST...THANK YOU. This is what we mean, when we say it's working πŸ₯ΉπŸ₯° More updates soon.

No idea why, but I decided to start working on a Balatro-inspired game on New Years Eve lol. I guess it'll be a good opportunity to finally learn Aseprite πŸ˜… #gamedev #unity

Anyone find any hidden gems at #PAXU ? For me, it’s gotta be Pirate Borg. Though Slay the Spire the Boardgame was a very welcome surprise.

Headed to my hotel for PAX Unplugged! So what’s everyone planning to do? I may or may not have have forgotten to plan out what I want to do once getting here πŸ˜… #PAXU #PAX #tabletop

Spent all of last week lost in Dragon Quest 3. Then I found a cat suit. This is officially the greatest JRPG of all time. No further questions. #dragonquest #dq3 #jrpg
