Aaaand artsprint for the day done on that commissioned PNGtuber from earlier. Still a ways to go but they're starting to come together nicely.

A red-haired gnome thaumaturge in a light-greygreen cloak holds an acid vial while posing for the camera. They have a long red braid with a ribbon and jewelry to tie it whipped behind them while their cloak is blown upwards in the wind. They're holding a wooden swordcane. To their right the character's name is displayed in large handwritten block print.

Got another PNGtuber commission! Still WIP!

Art Fight An art gifting game

Jumping in with two feet into artfight but have no idea how this will go or what I'm doing or how to do it right. Aaaaaaaaa

The kingmaker group so far! (Maybe more character portraits coming, need to add that kobold's hand back oops) #ocsky #pathfinder #pf2e #kingmaker #pngtuber #vtuber #art #clipstudio

Things I did not expect today when I posted this: chii-tan being in my likes.
Things I love that happened today as a result of posting this: chii-tan being in my likes.

Commissioned to make PNGTuber-plus ready portraits for my paid Kingmaker game and I'm really liking how this one's turning out. Art style inspired by Hades and Darkest Dungeon. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #kingmaker #ocsky #art #portrait #clipstudiopaint #pngtuber #vtuber

Finished converting all of my game event scripts into JSON. So much nicer to work with! (Also took a pass at making events a little clearer. Need to make a better dice icon though to represent 'number of successes required')

Well, that was uncomfortable and took a lot longer than I expected. BUT! Now I can fully import and export from my nodegraph to JSON. This'll be such an enormous time saver for this project.
Thanks #godot! #indie #strategy #rpg #gamedev #toashandember

Yep! What would've been 15 files before is now a singular file and I can actually see where stuff is going without having to flip back and forth between events and manually loading files.

NodeGraphs are pretty easy to set up in Godot. This same tree would take up four files in my project; now they can all live in one.
Going to take some elbow-grease to integrate but it's so much more fun to work with than trying to do this in the Inspector.

Thank you! Give it a wishlist or a grab on itch.io or subscribestar if you'd like to give it a whirl.

Gonna be adding little decorations and changes to these interfaces in the final polish passes.

Burnt some midnight oil to make sure that investigators die when they are killed. Next step: burning the world if no investigators remain to save it.

TAE's new version (Silverwing) is heading for Subscribestar! Enormous patchlist and a lot of polish applied throughout the project.

Presently uploading it at: subscribestar.adult/forgottenwor...

I have no idea how anyone's going to stream this game but at least the effects look nice on my end haha

Also getting *dangerously* close to having full gameloops and really-playable-content in here.

Thank you!

Sometimes it's the little things that give joy in game development. I'm just sitting here tweaking the particular sound, length, and transition type for hiding/showing the news panel.

Many openings and closings have been had. I've tried 8 combinations so far!

Well at least there's that. Stories like these tear at my guts. I feel like my fear of situations like that are why I'm still indie after all this while. Hope you keep having success!

That's awful! Well, I hope the game at least sold okay??

Thank you! I'd hope so, the whole game is UI based. Hopefully it'll look even better when I get around to decorating it some more.

Oof. This advice strikes me a lot as 'if you're new to a fighting game, just play each character three times'. Nobody should do that: pick someone you like who's cool.

The reason? Players who do quit because they spend Characters * 5 minutes losing and learning little. Frustration ups; quits happen

(Also I liked the little ripple effect so much that I made it a thing which happens whenever you click)
