I merged two new twitch integration features today! ✨

This one is a channel point reward that lets viewers redeem channel points to add notes to a main character's journal page. The player can also remove unwanted comments directly

The main capsule image for my game demo 'Tiny Tied'. A panda figure is displayed in the middle, reading a book. A shadowy fox figure is standing on the 'T' of the 'Tiny Tied' logo.

Currently reworking the capsule art for my game 👀

Spent today getting the english translation for my fun fair dating sim ready and adding a few details here and there! 🌸

Just a little more testing and it's ready to go~

#VNDev #RenPy #IndieDev

Spent today working on the first half of the animations for my game's journal screen. Almost lost my mind making it pixel perfect >.<

All that's left is to properly close the scrolls as well, but I'm afraid that part may be harder

my friend elkortes donated a total of 15 new frames for my MVNA project 🥹 I've managed to add four of them today, gotta do the rest and finish up tomorrow.

I've also made a simple gallery to look at all available frames

#MVNA #VNDev #RenPy #IndieDev

A scene showing five different frames with simple art Noveau-inspired patterns.

Made another two frames for my ready-to-use frame pack 🍀
This time i tried doing patterns that are a little more elaborate

#MVNA #RenPy #VNDev #IndieDev

today's progress for MVNA! I'm working on a set of frames that you can easily re-color in-engine^^

CG showing a sheep mask and a wolf mask next to each other.

CG showing a masquerade ball

Dialogue scene with a scantily clad anthropomorphic hyena wearing a bunny mask.

Our VN got done just in time! It's a mystery/horror VN about a masquerade ball :3 Mind the content warnings!

(it's only in german though ;v;)

Here is the devlog with all new update infos :)

While making some improvements in my rhythm minigame and recharting the notes, I've encountered one of the funniest bugs I've ever had.

Gyoza now wants to escape! 😱

MY GUY WHERE ARE YOU GOING

COME BACK 🗣️

Tiny Tied Demo by Merpui Every action has consequences.

So, there's some kinda good news! You can already play the latest version of my demo here on itch!

merpui.itch.io/tiny-tied-demo

However, over the last few days, I've noticed some things that I still need to address. So an 'official' release of the update is still to come!

#GameDev #IndieDev

The next update of Tiny Tied Demo may finally be ready in the next few days 🥹

Definitely soon!

Devlog #15

Found back into the Godot version of Jumptix. It took me some time to find the right motivation to continue.

Built first animations: when the player is hit by a bullet, when the player collects rewards.

DELTARUNE WINTER Newsletter Time! We're sending it out now, but it takes a good while to process hundreds of thousands of emails. Fortunately there's a cheat code to look at it whenever you want. Ha ha ha ha.

Devlog #13

I started to implement two subclasses of Entity: Player and Tile which hold different components.

First task: collision detection and resolution.

#C++ #SDL #EntityComponent

I needed a break from writing dialogue, and my game demo still has enough space for more characters.

This one had been in my head for a long time, and finally having him drawn in front of me feels really good!

#IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #PixelArt

Today I've put all my strength and energy (none) into the dialogue for Allyzabeth, to demonstrate her desire to meet new opponents (none)

#ScreenshotSaturday #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame

Did some bugfixes in my audience sequence scene today. It uses proper animated speech bubbles now~

#GameDev #VNDev #IndieDev #ScreenshotSaturday

A screenshot of Gyoza, an opponent within a rhythm game section, which will be playable in my game demo 'Tiny Tied'. They look happy and hold two signs. On each sign a with thumbs up is seen.

After almost 3 months of working on Gyoza, who has WAY TOO MUCH dialog for an OPTIONAL opponent (🥲) I'm finally done with my rhythm minigame!!! 🎉🕺

The complete update with this minigame should finally be out soon!

Possibly even this year!

Maybe!

I'm currently in japan and loving every minute of being here, but holy shit do I miss my bed.

My back was NOT made for futons 😭

look at my lamp

Currently working in a game jam and facing my new nemesis:

Drawing a human.

What do you mean I now have to pay attention to human anatomy?? How do I draw hands?!

No thanks, I will stick to humanoid animals, demons, robots and other malformed creatures beyond human comprehension.

a person 's hands are reaching out towards each other . Alt: Gif of Hannibal Buress looking at own hands meme

I've written over 2000 words for this jam game WHO AM I??

#GameDev #VNDev

Today's progress!

It's a little sequence for when something shocking happens during the court session. The audience is shown and they shout different lines. It will also use our twitch integration to let chat add their own comments (purple)
