With Hogmanay it seemed like a good time to signal boost to the gamedevs of my adopted home, Scotland.

If you're a Scotland-based or Scotland-born gamedev drop your name in the replies to be added (only self-nominations thanks folks).

Reposts welcome & HAPPY NEW YEAR! ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป

I spent literally all of my savings working fulltime on my game over the last year, and Kickstarter funds donโ€™t come through for 2 weeks, so Iโ€™m going to open up a single commission slot!

Here's a Mythwrecked #ConceptArt time lapse that Anya (not on Bluesky just yet) did for us early on in the project.

She painted on top of our greybox geometry which was super handy.

Update on my pixel art guide for beginners:

Transferred all the information from Tumblr to a Google Doc, so anyone who doesn't have a Tumblr account can now read through the whole thing!
I also updated quite a bit of information too.
I hope it will help somebody!
