A short project I worked on to refresh my creativity

I love them both!!!

I will be on the Chronoboros stream chatting with Zebedee about my fear of the ocean!!

We are a week out from the closing of the funding application so my more intricate posts are on hold. Hopefully some concept art for Arvo! is enough to get people interested!

Wait, should I be posting videos here??

Meet Bill!

game dev means dedicating a monitor to bear cam + nautilus live streams

A screenshot from the 'Arvo!' prototype of 2 red cubes. The image is pixelated from digital compression. Impact text on the top and bottom reads "Red enemy cube" and "bottom text" respectively.

we will have an updated enemy model at some point

And will make me far more aware of auto uppercase as my phone (understandably) assumes 'Arvo!' is the end of the sentence

Choosing to name our game with a '!' in it has had the side effect of making every reference to Arvo! more upbeat than I could manage otherwise

I've been working on Arvo! With a friend since I finished uni. We've got our first prototype up on Itch and are working on V2!

We are in very early stages of development on Arvo! but we do have a prototype/proof of concept to share over on our itch!

If you have a go, let us know what you think?

YouTube video by Crafter Frog How to crochet a FROG Tutorial: Step-by-Step DIY

if you want to make your own, this is the video I followed

A stylised green frog wearing yellow overalls, all crocheted.

check out this little guy I made!

I picked up crochet a couple years ago and it's been such a nice break from working/playing/studying on the computer

'games QA' - heres a military industrial complex job

looking for game design work online feels like im speaking a different language

searching 'games' jobs - oh you must be interested in gambling machines

'design' - yeah nah, interior/graphic. take it or leave it

I just want to make games and earn enough to live

My portfolio website is live frazercarpenter.com

I've tried to include as many details as I could about the stuff I've worked on

yeah, meta builds, that's been our main issue and why I play offline if I play solo

the biggest issue is how much the invader can heal (imo) and in relative safety if they hide amongst enemies

I would force the invader to play more aggressively and take bigger risks, reduce their healing, make enemies hostile to them and maybe put a time limit on their invasion?

I think it's a cool idea, especially the use of invasions for the DLC boss so I don't think it should be gone entirely

I don't remember it being an issue in Elden Ring though

do people like the invasion mechanic in Dark Souls?
it has been really frustrating trying to play DS3 with a friend for their first time

2 messages in a discord channel. First, 'Dolp: "can you say 'rizz' in a game pitch to the australian government?"' Second, 'crowdisciple: "WHAtajdskjjk"'

exo will be the second, yakuza 0 was the first

I feel like i owe it to ya to stream the end

I hadn't thought about it but both actually!

imagine completing a game..

Hell!
imagine completing two

A tier list ranking objects from 'S' to 'D'. Objects range from a telstra payphone is 'S' to woolworths self checkout machines in 'B' and a train ticket machine in 'D'.

Out of context game design meeting for my next potential project

I'm living in this moment and nobody can take me out of it
