Early demonstration of floating platforms suspended by balloons. Pop all the balloons on a side and down the whole thing goes! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Practicing animating in Aseprite #pixelart

Here's the first WIP I made for the flying ship miniboss. Wanted to see how it looked with the background before I started coding it in. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

The flying contraptions in action (including a very early done intro for the sky level) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

FYI, I’m a well-off adult that can take care of themselves. There’s a lot of personal stuff that’s happened that’s led up to this point, but I’m not going to go into that right now. I just need to have some sort of place to vent about this other than to myself. Thanks for understanding.

It’s been around 4 months since I’ve essentially completely lost my support network, including most of my family.

I’ve spent a lot of time trying to portray this in some meaningful or constructive way, but lol that’d be a lie. It sucks to have no one there to help, or even talk with you, ever.

A quick animation of a flying contraption obstacle thing. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

The backgrounds of Louny Balloony so far #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Fully interactable hot air balloons! That means bouncy exteriors and rideable gondolas #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Debugging generic platform movement.

No matter how fast or where the platform is moved, character momentum and placement always stays the same.

mass bird dispersal demonstration #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Recipe: - 2 oz bourbon - 20 ml banana oleo saccharum / banana syrup - 3 dashes of cocoa bitters - garnish with bruleed banana slices

Ooh Banana (Old Fashioned)!

Just something thematic I wanted to mix for the monkey game.

Recipe in the alt!

Very necessary cloud particle effects #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

I think this is my earliest clip of the sky level. Working out parallax with white clouds contrasted with pastel hot air balloons. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Bonus round! Jump across the stage to reach the treasure without having the rushing water push you off. Will you be able to make it to the end? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Yes! Feathers are a collectible in the game, and the more you have the easier it is to stay afloat.

Another gameplay clip featuring the special attack, enemy balloonists, water spout mechanics, and various other miscellanea I can't think of at the moment. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Earliest clip of the first level midboss I made. Originally, this was going to be a single sprite, but ended up compositing it like a Treasure boss instead. Only key sprites were made at this stage, so no arms yet on this guy at this point. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Thanks to everyone liking my gameplay clips of Louny recently!

Just a little update, my dev machine of around a decade finally crapped out earlier this week. Fortunately, all my stuff including work on Louny should be backed up, so posting should resume as usual 'til my new build is set up.

More old demo stuff featuring water spouts and balloonist enemies. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Another lil' gameplay snippet featuring dashing through birds and enemy balloonists gearing up.
