This unironically sounds like a great talk as a postmortem once this game is out.

more old work! the development progression of the kingdom screen in desktop dungeons rewind. There's a bunch of nice vfx and animation and such in the final version that obviously isn't captured in a still image. You're all missing out.

#GodotConBoston was a huge success! We met so many cool devs, played a lot of interesting indie games, and even got to playtest #BRODUCE for a bunch of people!

Special thanks to @bostongamedev.bsky.social for hosting such an amazing Demo Night!

That's a wrap on the very first Boston Gamedev Week! We were totally blown away by how many people showed up to every single event, wore our pins and embraced BGW enthusiastically. Thank you to everyone who took this leap with us, and to all of our incredible organizers. Let's do this again!

Nice! It's looking very stylish in genera! Also I can't help but notice the video looks great, any tips on which codec you used or anything special? I feel like mine come out super compressed looking on blueSky.

Finished the art for Rift Riff's 4th level today. This is the first world where monsters attack all of your towers before arriving at your basecamp. I made it extra harsh and aggressive looking. #leveldesign #gamedev #godot #pixelart

A pixel art landscape depicting a night time scene. The colors are dark blue, with a teal tint. The viewer in tucked into a dark forest, by a creek. The creek leading into a waterfall overlooking a vast valley. 

In the valley is a large cavern. It appears to be the skull of an animal, like a snake or dragon. Inside of the skull cavern is a large thriving city. Thereโ€™s neon beams casting into the sky, and the lights of the city get more intense as you go deeper into the cavern. The creek flows down into the valley and comes to an end behind the cavern.
