Behold! A dresser!

-sigh- Not a fan with how it turned out, but I'm not trying to spend the whole week on a single piece of furniture when I'm gonna need more. Good enough for now

#gamedev #pixelart #furniture

Trying to get back on the "work on something every night" grind. Still trying to figure out how to draw a half decent dresser

#gamedev #pixelart #whyisdrawingsohard

It's been WAAAY too long since the last video. Spent too much time on the resting / waking animations (and I still feel the urge to go back). For now, moving on to the artwork for the introduction level. The cat shall start in a stone/wooden cabin. Still working on the textures

#gamedev #pixelart

Back to working on animations for the next stage of development

#gamedev #cats #sleepwell #myfriends

Options accessible from the main game. Can't easily show this, but added the saving of the options so they persist after closing the game

#gamedev

Now we can interact with the options menu! Woo! They still don't do anything beyond that, but hey, progress has been made

#gamedev #options #idkwhattagtoputhere

Options menu integrated! Time to make it interactive

#gamedev #options

Got the options menu layout. Just gotta work on integrating it into the game

#gamedev #gum #pixelart

Ehh. Not much to show, but I'm working on the options menu lol. Imagine there being sliders and selectable options to the right of the buttons. Options menu is gonna leverage some of the visuals of the main menu, so there's gonna be swaying bushes in the background.

Hopefully the last transition clip for a while. Got transitions from Title Screen to Game and vice versa, and then also added transition to Game Exit.

#gamedev #pixelart #monogame

Added the transition into the actual game! Well, right now, only the test level is implemented. More to come later!

#gamedev #pixelart #start

Thank you kindly sir!

lol Added the closing transition. Gonna be working on transitioning into the game next, and then start working on the options menu

#gamedev #menu #transitions

Got the opening part of the transition in. Will test the closing part tomorrow.

#gamedev #pixelart #transitions

It is done! Well, the animation at least. Time to integrate it into the game...

#gamedev #animation #transition

Still working on the screen transition. Gonna try and finish at least drawing up the frames tomorrow

#gamedev #branches #pixelart

Okay, we back. Now that Silksong is done, it is time to return to the daily grind of getting something done everyday. Behold, the beginnings of Duo Playground's screen transition.

#gamedev #animation #pixelart

Don’t normally post content unrelated to gamedev, but I’m happy announce just finished act 3 of my favorite game of the year! (Apologize for terrible screenshot) #silksong #hollowknight

Still playing Silksong lol. 60 hours deep, and I'm just midway through Act 3. Oh, and I managed to FINALLY get the shaders in for the title menu's layers

e-6695 (Consumer protection) Keywords Censorship Credit cards Internet Pornography E-petition Initiated by Carmen Tam from Waterloo, Ontario Original language of petition: English Petition details Petition to the House of Commons Whereas: Mastercard, Visa, and other payment platforms have been leveraging their power over consumer ability to purchase legal content; In 2021, Mastercard changed its policies to regulate adult entertainment by preventing the use of its payment platform on numerous adult entertainment sites; As of July 2025, video game distribution service Steam now cites rule 15, that “adult only” content is not permitted on the platform if it goes against payment processor’s policies. Steam does not describe what content is defined as “adult only”; As of July 2025, video game distribution website Itch.io has “deindexed” all adult NSFW content from browse and search pages. Users that previously purchased legitimate video games cannot access games that have been removed; and This has set an unsettling precedent of corporate censorship, causing concern in video game development teams, including developers, voice actors, and artists in other creative fields as their livelihoods are in limbo. We, the undersigned, citizens of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to 1. Stop financial discrimination by payment platforms against legal goods and services; 2. Ensure transparency to consumers about content restrictions and the rationale behind them; and 3. Protect creators' rights to make legal adult content and ensure a fair appeals process for any penalized media.

The official Canadian Petition to reign in payment processor censorship has stalled out just under 10k signatures.

This is a reminder for Canadians, this is an OFFICIAL petition that will be responded to. Show your support in protecting our free speech!

#indiedev #gamedev

adorable

Progress been a tad slow as of late (damn you Silksong and PoE2). But, got the basic structure of the title menu. Still gotta add all the effects and whatnot

#pixelart #titles #gamedev

Finally got the first draft of the title image. It's composed of multiple layers. The rough plan is to apply separate shaders for the bushes and the tree roots

#gamedev #pixelart #duoplayground

Just worked on more "prop" tiles (i.e. bushes, rocks, decorative stuff to fill levels) and the title banner for the game.

(Don't think I've ever posted without either a video or picture, but keeping with the goal of posting something everyday lol)

#gamedev #art

Chinese artist Leng Jun,I have never seen anything like it. Extraordinary!!!

Working on art. Had a bit of a... drawing block(?) while working on the title. So, decided to work on some of the other props first and then I'll integrate some of them into the title art

#gamedex #pixelart #bushes

Okay. Last clip on the main menu. Integrated mercury particle system from MGE. Now there's pine tree leaves blowing across the screen! Time to work on title menu next
