Thanks Nic!

Updating the door technologies, among other things. #gamedev #indiegamedev

(but not as much code as if I'd included the json library, and the parsing happens outside of the game code)

Safe travels! Oh, to go back to the days of turning on a game and not having to sit through updates.

A lot of code is hiding behind this video... I'm using @aseprite.org to generate the spritesheets and .json files for animations, but I didn't want to pull a whole json library into my code so I'm parsing the .json with Python to create text files with just the data I need. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Not me confused about why the color picker isn't working without realizing I'm trying to grab a pixel on the transparency checkerboard. 😐

What do you mean today is Sunday?

Happy #screenshotsaturday! Whatcha got!

I'm playing around with color palettes and pixel sprites, also fixed a bug that I didn't know I had where the walls were perpetually shadowed.

Wow, no, that's awesome. I wonder if that's a UK vs US thing... you guys have "Jingle bells, Batman smells" over there?

Probably in my brain somewhere...

Nic, you can totally run with that. Would love to see that game, especially if he hops into a taxi at the end of each level!

Right on, if you need an extra set of eyes, let me know!

I agreed with you this morning, but I am finding some shortcuts!

Bodyguard Detail

easy isometric pixel art is still coming... with a ton of new features!

create anything with easymetric soon on @aseprite.org

So: Threw an armature in there (just drew lines from the hips to where I thought the feet should be in every frame) and warped the legs (sloppily). Walking left to right will obviously be trickier, but I figure he'll go kinda 3/4-view ish

New prototype for my horde shooter up on Itch, now with some actual UI! Try it out and let me know what you think :)

I tried to make a walk animation and somehow failed so hard that I broke his leg in the idle animation. #gamedev #indiegamedev

I respect that!

Making some sprites for my video game, this is like a security guard guy I guess? Lots of blues and a brown tool belt. Round face shield

"Programmer art" #gamedev #indiegamedev #aseprite

Trying to decide between 64x and 32x pixel sprites, my art background is screaming for higher resolution while my programming brain is begging me not to over complicate things.

Good morning! More from the archives.

Hello! Here's a Canary video update showing off some stuff that took a while to code. Progress! #gamedev #indiegamedev youtu.be/BCVEGsSNyBw

My new game #NetDive is out now!

It's a very experimental SHMUP flavored incremental game about an AI prompted to learn what makes a human human.

Thanks Nic, this is pretty fun!

Anyhow, hey, good morning! Go make that comic you feel like making!

I make comics. Do people read my comics? I don’t know. I just know I’m a guy who makes comics. #comics #webcomics
