Thank you. I'm getting better at scheduling in sick time for my deadlines so hopefully I'm still on track, unless I get sick again which I'm pretty sure I've just jinxed myself and will 😭

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone!
Big Helmet Head announcement coming tomorrow 😁 so watch this space!
In the meantime enjoy your weekend and be well 😎

Yay! I managed to sit at my computer and do some work. Not as much as I'd have liked but feeling nauseous so going to call it here. Hopefully I'll be back to normal by Monday!

Here's are Five Arcades (ignore the half arcade on the right) to remind you of Five Arcade. I'm off to bed.

I'm fairly certain bicycles aren't supposed to do that. I am the master of bike safety, I've only been hit by a car once 😀

I love the platforming sections where you have to strike a temporary flower to gain height, and you climb and climb with precision and grace, then your brain decides it's forgot what the correct buttons are and you fall to your death, throw the game away (digital throw) and have to buy another copy.

Ok last drawing of the day lol sorry for the constant posting, just really missed my sketchbook.

I assumed you bought a new kettle and steam cleaner and were super excited to show them off? 😀

Pikachu! Watercolour.

Pika pika

I said that Silksong was too easy and I was so cocky after beating Act 2, "that was so easy, I thought this was supposed to be hard" I shouted to all that would listen (no one) and then Act 3 happened. My downfall was swift 😂

Absolutely can't wait!

Two days to go until the big reveal. Things are starting to reach a boiling point here in the Helmet Head dev cave!

Snake is watching!

I'm currently playing Dispatch which has been excellent so far. I was close to finishing Lies of P before hospital but playing it is making me dizzy so I think I need to stick with slower games.

Did you enjoy Silksong?

It's nice to be in my own bed with my sketchbook 🙂 I didn't have the right colours to draw Sonar but I wanted to draw Sonar so here we are 😀

Uh oh! ABANDON SHIP! EJECT! EJECT! EJECT!

Hey folks, got a pretty big announcement coming this Sunday, so watch this space 😎
Things are starting to heat up here in Helmet Head land, you could almost say things are getting a little...steamy 😶‍🌫️

Looks breathtaking!

Right there with ya

Thanks Craig. I'm back on bed rest with a controller in hand so it could be worse 🙂

Thanks, having a particularly nasty winter medically. The doctor ordered me to rest and play as many games as possible. (I think I imagined that last part but that doesn't mean it didn't happen 😂)

Hearing a baby coughing with COVID while some drunk wanker is shouting about his poor arm having an ouchy was diabolical.

Also had a tough guy escorted by police threatening people, but moaned like an alpha male when needing a cannula.

Nurses are truly amazing people ❤️

Just out of hospital, spent 12 hours trying to keep my temperature below 40. Not fun. Seeing 10% of the people around me suffering horribly while waiting for treatment, listening to other people come into an emergency department with a sore toe was spectacularly frustrating.

Sorry for the inactivity, I'm still working away at Five Arcade, just struggling to post because of mental health related shenanigans. I shall return next month with a new trailer and a demo 🌷☘️❤️
