Excited to be showing off the latest build of Dark Pixel at HYPER market @ The Forks

A look into my process creating enemy art assets for Dark Pixel.

Excited to be demoing the latest alpha of Dark Pixel at Aikon!!! If you’re at the con, come check it out in the gamer lounge.

Working on Dark Pixel and still figuring out exactly what it is...

wip Canada Goose for River Woods.

One of the comments on my #LD57 game wanted to see someone skilled playing my game, and requested I post a play-though video. I think they just wanted to see me suffer through trying to beat the gold course. Why did I make this game so hard??? 😄

A puzzle platforming video game featuring a worm with a pick axe, and back pack trying to avoid traps and enemy bugs to get through levels.

A fun little pixel, puzzle, platformer with restricted movement. And who doesn't love playing as a worm???

This video game is art. It's like if Lucio Fulci made Atari games.

It's like Inscryption, but on a train. I really like the audio in this game. I want the song on loop to work and chill to.

I got pretty hooked on this mix of auto-battler and dungeon crawler. I would definitely get into a full version of this game with more fleshed out mechanics.

I was toying with an idea to change Dark Pixel so that you could only move horizontally while jumping. My design wasn't the same as this, but it's close enough that it gives me an idea of what that would have felt like.

You never know what you'll run into when you're exploring the DEPTHS of the woods. 🌲🌲🌲 #LDJam #LD57

End of the first night of Ludum Dare. Wanted to have an idea and a the basic game loop in place by the end of the day, and I managed to achieve that so I'm going to be happy. #LDJam #LD57

Check out An Unconventional War which I made for #PegJam 2025. Ran out of time, but I'm planning continue working on it cause I had so much fun with it.

You can play the very busted demo over here : lvl-0.itch.io/an-unconvent...

but all the best bits are already in the clip 😂

How it started: “I’ve decided to make a major change to Dark Pixel..”

How it’s going:

If you want to improve your level design, you must become one with the level design. #DarkPixel

I’ve decided to make a major change to Dark Pixel. This will blow up my closing schedule, and add a ton of work.

Making a substantial gameplay change this late is risky and it scares me, but more than that, I’m excited about what this will add to the game. That’s why I know I need to do it.

Having fun at the Winnipeg Game Collective Meetup 10th Anniversary event. ❤️

Had an amazing time at the WGC Meetup 10th Anniversary Event!!! I love being part of such an amazing community. Had great conversations with so many people, and got to showcase Dark Pixel again.

I made a special build where I replaced the collectables in game with the WGC logo. 🥰

I got to be part of the Winnipeg Game Collective showcase at Comic Con this past weekend. It was my first time being a part of a showcase event and I learned tons. Read my tips for indie showcase success here:
