I don't know why the first 5 seconds of "silence" are so loud in this. The original clip doesn't have any filtering, and I suspect bsky is trying to level the audio at the beginning and weirdly heightening the ambient sound (just a wild guess).

You know, Hidden Dinosaur maybe a scary jumpscare game, but even it's not afraid to tell a joke once in a while. #gamedev #indiedev

This clip has apparently the latest version of the flying ship sub-boss in Louny Balloony. I remember one of the last things I added was the little "POP" signifiers over the balloons to clue in the player as to how to defeat this thing. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

My animation process from the cats I did a while ago!

1. Started with 3 distinct frames
2. Inbetween to 7 distinct frames
3. Inbetween again to 13 distinct frames
4. Add shading
5. Final result

Jumpscares ahoy!

It's HIDDEN DINOSAUR, the terrifying retro-inspired game where you have to navigate a maze to escape the dinosaur hidden about!

Be careful not to get caught by the dinosaur to avoid getting jumpscared!

Did the meme thing!

Yep, Louny started life as a game jam game a while ago, and has always been in development in one form or another over the years, with demos currently out on Steam and Itch!

Here's a breakdown of the level 1 background music for Louny Balloony.

All the music in Louny (demo on Steam!) is composed using FM synthesis, very similar to what you can hear on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive!

A helpful map can be quite useful in Hidden Dinosaur, the silly jumpscare game where you navigate a maze to escape a scary little dinosaur!

Demo available on Steam today!

Finally finished with this pixel animation:

It's the Sailor Moon cat things!

Anyone who knows what this is specifically referencing is a really real one.

If you're up for a good scare this spooky season, try out the demo of Hidden Dinosaur on Steam!

In this DOS-like game, navigate your way through mazes while avoiding the dinosaur!

Watch to the end if you're brave enough to confront the wrath of the dinosaur!
