It feels so satisfying when the code gets cleaned up, right? ;)

No matter what you learn, your skills improve over time: decluttering my code, found many objects can be deleted or merged into one. 😱

As a JRPG lover who rarely plays fps games, I can’t explain why I’ve spent so much time in Cyberpunk 2077 and why I feel so empty after finishing the game. Kudos to CDPR!

Nintendo year in review is available! 🎮

I followed you bc I really like your drawings, and you do pixel art which I can't. I’m sure a lot of people quietly follow you and your work is definitely seen and appreciated.

The first 25 seconds of the title music (main theme) are done. 💪

Absolute cinema!
Inazuma Eleven Victory Road ⚽️

When it comes to orchestration, I feel like a horseman holding the reins of a hundred horses…

#wip It does look like a poster art now :P

Two games brought me to tears this year:
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33
Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road
(Cinematic cutscenes really matter! 😭)

About to try this, but GameMaker installed everything for me this time! All done! Still appreciate your response! 👍☺️

Ask #gamemaker devs: I’m not able to open my project in the latest GameMaker version on macOS, any solutions? @gamemaker.io

Sick!

Some random mascot ideas...

Damn I miss it so much 😭

Since my drawing tablet’s driver started causing issues and GameMaker’s latest update keeps crashing randomly, I’ve been focusing on music composition instead. So far I’ve made 8 tracks, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

A new icon for macOS Tahoe would be great ! 👍

It’s not a contradiction to be a Nintendo fan while also being an absolute Nintendo hater. Sometimes they just intentionally make all kinds of weird decisions against their consumers. 🤣

Pokémon Legends ZA: I’m 25 hours in and having a great time. The city may be small in scale, but there’s still a lot to do.

Adding some juice to my game, the selected enemy will be highlighted.

I switched to Pixelmator Pro after Adobe raised their prices a couple of months ago. I highly recommend Mac users give it a try. one-time fee, no regrets.

New character designs #wip I gave the arms a little stretch so they can hit more poses 💪. Since it’s a turn-based jrpg, they’re rocking a more anime vibe now 😃.

Thank you so much for the advice! That’s exactly what I’m aiming for: dynamic, slightly exaggerated poses. That's why I realized my characters look too short, so I’m trying to extend their limbs a bit to see if that helps. Btw It really makes me happy to know someone’s interested in my game! ☺️

As I started drawing the chibis for different combat scenes, the flaws in my art style started to show. The bold lines and short limbs make it hard to do poses I want (or maybe just bc my drawing skills suck). At this point, redesign the characters is all I can think off... 🤡🫠 I...

Aww, thank you, that’s really nice to hear! I'm excited to see how your project goes as well! Btw I have purchased your font pack very long time ago, some fonts are really cute :D

Expedition 33 really raises the bar for turn-based RPGs. I think I need to find a way to make the combat system of my own project more appealing. 🤔💭
