I just threw my 81! #axethrowing

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

Made myself an axe sheathe! First one that I've made! #lasercutting #axethrowing #iatf

Casar: "I don't know why Republican members even show up to this committee or Congress when it's clear who's really in charge of the federal govt right now, and that's Elon Musk."

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

Another part of my cinematic! Here's Serafina Hart doing her signature move! #Indiegame #indiedev #retrogame #solodev #fightinggame #platformfighter

Test cinematic part 2 - Rya Blackwood and Bucky The Tank! #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #retrogame #indiegames

Test cinematic for Ashcroft! #Indiedev #solodev #fightinggame #gamedev

If I had a superpower, it would be the power to disappear, but only when no one is looking.

Concept art for Ashcroft

A quick trailer of Ashcroft... I uh really need to learn how to make trailers, I think. Marketing is a huge part of #indiegames and apparently it's my biggest weakness. youtu.be/Fu1pGX0Ra0w?...

Training mode! See what kind of combos you can come up, and test out each character's moveset without any pressure! #indiedev #indiegame #ASHCROFT #fightinggame

Progress is being made! #indie #indiegame #indiedev

Releasing the demo first on Discord, aiming for Feb. 10th - have a list of enhancements still from MAGFEST - not including the enhancements I did overnight each day lol Check it out here: discord.gg/eVdhMmMJ
