Before😶‍🌫️

As I'm polishing the game's art, promo materials are gradually coming together, and the in-game quality has been improving too. How do you like the new logo and the cat?

Art

I painted this Today, took me about 1 hr 10 minutes ish, hope you like it.

Made a nice frame-by-frame fire, then tried my own shaders… and they looked better. Profiler agrees, so the animation is out and the shaders stay😶‍🌫️

FINALLY!!🤩

Implemented the claw physics in game!

Reached the design polishing stage! There’s still one big coding task for assigning cats, but I’m already grateful to my past self for making the architecture expandable and much cleaner, even if it took forever.

Finished the UI design screens, then took a short break from gamedev. My husband surprised me with a new trumpet for my birthday! Turns out I play better than I thought. A good instrument matters. Don’t start with the cheapest on, you’ll fight it, not improve. Buy the best you can🎺🎸

Oh yeah, I can already feel there are many more discoveries ahead!😀🥲

True GigaSingleton doesn’t inject dependencies. It is the dependency😎

I started struggling with the number of singletons - just added the fifth one, and now I’m getting confused about the loading order. So, it's time to create one big GigaChad Singleton to handle them all!😅
Who decides the loading order? GigaSingleton💪

Cozy games don’t have strict goals, but too much freedom can make them feel aimless. We keep players engaged with gentle incentives—self-set goals, exploration, and emotions. It’s all about finding the right balance, which isn’t always easy!😼

As an indie dev, I think about what gives a game its "soul." It’s more than mechanics-it’s a feeling. A soulful game doesn’t chase trends but carves its own path. When gameplay, atmosphere, and visuals click, the game feels alive, like it's speaking to you in its own way💜
#gamedev

It sounds really interesting! You already have a great foundation, and I’m sure you know what will work best for the game💪 Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together!🤩

This looks so charming! It's a tough question whether this would add mechanics or just be a visual element, but I love wandering merchants and village festivals. A lake would also add variety🎉🪁⛵

This is my cat, his name is Zayats (which means "Hare" – don't ask why). He's not just a cat, he's the main model for my game. A true feline superstar!😻

I really like the visuals and the idea, but I found it a bit confusing when I played😶‍🌫️It wasn’t clear who the enemies were or why I died instantly despite having 3 hearts. Usually, enemies stand out with colors, shapes (like spikes), or behavior. A bit more clarity would make it feel more intuitive🤔

Thank you!
Basically, I need visual mechanisms to understand what I've done and when, but since I'm getting sick less often now, things have improved💃

I wanted to use Photoshop for animation, but it was inconvenient. I used OpenToonz and Procreate Dreams before, but their brushes didn’t work. After a long search, I found the AnimDessin 2 plugin. In the end-success! I want to animate everything!

I'm still crocheting, but not as often. I made a trendy bonnet, but never got to wear it, it’s pretty warm outside. But I tried making a bag, and I think I’ll actually use it! 💃

Honestly, the best game ideas don’t always show up right away—it’s like they need a bit of time to take shape🐱

Wow, this looks so powerful! I can see how much effort you put into it, it’s really inspiring!🚂
