Hereโ€™s the HUGE hand painted watercolour map for my game Bibdu! Made to the same scale as it will be on screen~
It took 3 days to sketch and paint and still missing some detail but happy to have it done to this level for now!

Back in Ireland and working full time on my mythology game Bibdu! Finishing up the final quest list and mapping it all out during Solstice season has been very peaceful. Excited to get back to painting once this stage is complete!

Calling all game devs! Have you ever had a bug that ended up becoming a feature of a game? Or heard of any games where this has happened?
Please let me know!
Helping @barrysdevhell.bsky.social research this for an upcoming video!

If standing up against fascism is what cost me my dream job I held for 10 years, I would do it again 100x stronger

Pixel art as a style or pixel art as a medium? I made a video about it.

Indie game dev is spending weeks putting together beautiful, insanely complex systems that function flawlessly together that nobody notices.

Then you spend ten minutes throwing a gif on the screen and people go WOW there are ANIMATIONS now???

Y'all, drawing images on the screen is the easiest part
