Haha, yay! It's shaping up to be really cool and I hope you like it even more than the first one :D

:D

A woman in a red robe attacks a poorly drawn red and green wall. There are poorly drawn marks and arrows, indicating that the wall is a one-way shortcut. This all takes place in a narrow and spooky sci-fi tunnel.

Two copies of a woman in a red robe stand in a dark room with narrow crawl spaces.

Drawing some spooky sci-fi crawl space environment art for Timespinner 2! What kind of fleshy ribs will I carve from the pixels?

Thank you so much! Hope you love the sequel even more :D

A woman in a red robe prays in a room made of dark brown bricks. In the background are two columns of brick, framing a window showing a sunset scene of the sea, mountains, and a cloudy sky lit with god rays.

Drawing a pretty window scene for today's Timespinner 2 development stream! Come for the arches, stay for the vibes :D

Got it! Thanks :D I did that with my Shanao dress too. Just kinda winged it lol

When you do a muslin mockup, do you make a pattern first on paper? What do you do when you need to change something?

Thank you! <3

One of my favorite #indie releases of 2018, and a real sleeper hit, in my humble opinion, was "Timespinner"
by @lunarraygames.bsky.social

An excellent #Metroidvania, and an absolute love-letter to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night

And there's a sequel on the way, too.

Development livestreams are actually really enjoyable! It's nice being able to hang out and chat with TS fans while I work. I haven't had any problems with backseat designing. If anything, I've gotten great feedback and ideas that I hadn't thought of!

Surprise!...? Haha :D

I use HD Index Painting to do most of my environments and large enemies. Learning this technique really saved me on the first game! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q36....
I do take time to polish each pixel afterwards- but it makes mocking up size, shape, and color so quick!

Haha! Tell her thank you for saying so :D

A woman in a red robe stands before a floating spiky starfish in a room with teal marble walls and an ornate brass archwindow. Behind the window is an underwater scene.

Always nice to hear from you in the streams <3

A woman in a red robe stands on an impossibly floating platform over a dark purple sea. In front of her is a massive blue, and poorly drawn, cloud. In the background is a dusky mountain horizon.

Today I'm going to be designing an interactable "Water Cloud" for Timespinner 2! Come check out the code and art :D

Oh, I hadn't thought about that! So many single craft-specific armors that can be used now! :O

Thank you!! <3

A woman in a red robe prays to a shrine in a room made of ornate pink columns and bricks. Behind the shrine is an archway showing a sunset sky. In front of the large setting sun lies the silhouette of an ominous tower.

Gonna draw a big fancy religious statue for today's Timespinner 2 Development Livestream! Come watch me mock up and maybe even polish this new set piece :D

Get that violence, girl 💅

Classic indie metroidvania Timespinner came out 7 years ago today! With great pixel art, an atmospheric soundtrack, tight gameplay, and inclusive LGBTQ+ representation, this would be a great entry to the genre for anyone who might feel intimidated by harder titles.

Review: www.rpgfan.com/revie...

Timespinner (Lunar Ray Games, 2018)

A woman in a red robe jumping through the air after landing on a bouncy green mushroom. The image is a still frame from a level editor of a brown cave with many mushrooms and spikes, as well as a skeleton monster watching from the corner of the screen.

Going to draw the background parallax art for this cool spikey mushroom cave for Timespinner 2! Stop by and say hi :D

A woman in a red robe stands in front of a poorly drawn magenta mushroom with the text "Boing!". The scene takes place in a dead forest, surrounded by scary skeleton monsters.

Designing a silly new feature: Trampoline Mushrooms! Come watch today's Timepinner 2 development livestream! :D
