holy-
i was very much not expecting that full canvas to go that hard.

Thank you! I'm no animator but i try xD

Also, i wanted to say a HUUUUGE THANK YOU for reaching 550 followers!

During my time on bluesky, i've met a lot of amazing people, gathered, albeit not big, but a community that supports me and what i do, and i am forever grateful for it.

I'll try not to disappoint ❤️

I've been gradually trying to get back into work. Its still quite hard, but i decided to ease my way back in. I've started on making some placeholder animations for Worm Regards

So today i'm bringing you a heavy WIP snippet of the ladybug

Thank you so much! Really hoping that some things will come around (hopeful about good news this evening) and i finally will be able to continue working on the games i love so much <3

Thank you very much for being with us.

Even now, i am struggling with even bringing myself to opening Unity again and doing something...

And, although times are absolute shit, to be honest, i still wanted to let you know that i am not letting go of the studio and the games that we decided to make.

i could say that i spent that time resting or trying to get my life together.

I really wished i could pull myself through all this, that things would get better, i would spend my free time on the projects so near and dear to my heart, and, hopefully, to you, but i wasn't.-

Meanwhile, i kinda got into a huge depression, which is getting worse by the day. As a result, i, unfortunately, haven't had any will or energy to work on the projects, and free time i had i preffered to spend... oh boy, the proper word would probably be procrastinating, but i really wish-

[3/7]

all the while, the studio i've been working in kinda went bankrupt and closed shortly after, and, as a result, you guessed it, i lost my job and wasn't able to afford to spend time on my own things

Last three months i've spent working different small jobs and looking for a proper stable one

Anyways, it has been almost four months since we've started our moving process that went oh-not-well and almost three months after the post about us resuming work on our projects... So, once again, we've lost quite a lot of funds in the process of moving due to a lot of unexpected things-

[1/7] 🧵

Hey. Been quite a while, huh? Unfortunately, things haven't been going great and i wanted to make a post about why there has been no updates.

P.S. this will be yet another "me whining" post, but i wanted to at least explain things, so, sorry and thank you.

I. AM. BACK! I'M SO BACK!!!👀

Oh boy oh boy. what was initially planned as a period of a week or two turned into 33 days of beuracracy, going from hostel to hostel and a bunch of unplanned spendings 💀

I got a home, internet and my PC.

HELLO PEOPLEEEEE!!!✨

#indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #cozygame

Thank you 😭❤️
Hopefully everything gets better indeed!

Thank you very much! I hope to be back soon too ❤️❤️❤️

Hello everyone!

I am moving out.

Even though not much work has been posted during this very hard period of going through bureaucracy hell and extra work, i am very sad to say that my side of things will be paused for the period.

Hopefully i return soon ❤️✈️

Super cute! I love the chicken animation! x)

Not the birdie ;-;
(a great art though)

This one's so freaking awesome! Wow! I just love all the small details that really bring out the amazing design!

Damn, this is really amazing! Love it!
The animation is absolutely gorgeous!

Hello everyone! Been a hot minute, eh?
Sorry for the absence, i really needed a break from extra work, due to rising stress from IRL stuff.

a TLDR pf all that happened: I wrote ~10k lines of boring code, but i do have news for future~

Glad you like it! x)
