Thank you!! I do too

Me at the zoo: hey do you guys wanna go see the tentacle head cluster

Octoseal, as an infant and as an adult

It feels hard-coded to me, but I guess I’d technically been on the shoreline too before it happened. The tutorial/main story seems fairly linear (which I don’t mind; I feel like I have all the freedom I want)

This is #WhatAGameDevLooksLike!

Fun fact, I started out as a medical illustrator making educational apps for surgeons before moving further into game programming

Now I’m channeling my love of biology into a surreal alien ecosystem sim! (I still build medical apps too sometimes, for fun and profit)

The yellow arachno-leech

Look Everyone! It's Spyro The Dragon, And He's Perfectly Fine

Follow up, got most of these working!! These 5-legged critters all reference a single animation file!
(muted bc I haven't fixed footstep sounds for these lol)

Death comes for all warthogs in the end

O! That's a warthog

Wishlist Gnomad on Steam!

Gnomad is an offbeat, hand-drawn, bouncing-ball platformer.
Take on the role of a gnome exploring a whimsical, sunken forest while engaging in fast-paced combat by spiking, ricocheting, and redirecting oddball enemies and bouncy projectiles.

I've invented a new type of body that I call "tall lizard." Not good

Met a couple of folks from this studio today at GDC, and their game looks beautiful 💖

Good skittery little lizard (fast)

I've spent some time trying to get these deer to thrive in an ecosystem because I like them so much. The brown-and-teal stripes are super neat-looking. Unfortunately they're just not very good at surviving and constantly get outcompeted by various shrubs and tumbleweeds

I finally figured it out! You’re welcome, Herbivores

It's actually really easy to eat grass when you're a rolling ball made entirely of heads

These procedural legs are going to need a lot of work but this isn't bad for a first attempt

New water shader gets more blue as the atmosphere fills with gases

Return of the Planet of the Green Horse Tree Lizards

Rapid unicorn cloning

Oh, you introduced rabbits to Australia!

Added a sort of clone stamp tool, but for animals and very fast and overwhelming

*squinting through a telescope* yeah that's a classic Frog Cluster Moon

There are so many things to discover in ROVA! Play the new demo to see what you'll find! #indiegamedev #cozygaming #madewithunity #adventure

Thank you! 😊

They're just particle systems! They're simulated in world space, and I illustrated the particles so they're a little bit painterly. There's some lighting in the shader based on where they are relative to the moon, and some is just in the illustration
