First bsky post! This is mainly gonna be a gamedev animation account. Been in game dev for over 2 decades. Here’s games I’ve worked on so far. 13 shipped titles,1 more about to come out in less than 2 months! DOSA DIVAS demo out on STEAM and wishlist-able! store.steampowered.com/app/2950710/...

Here’s a compilation of some of my favorite IRL recreations so far. Just a few hours left to get DOSA DIVAS with 10% off discount #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #animator #videogamesIRL

This is the 2nd instance of Evo moment 37 being referenced in DOSA DIVAS #dosadivas #indiegame #videogamesirl

Dosa Divas isn’t a platformer but we do have some fun but chill traversal sprinkled throughout the levels. #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

Something about this cutscene in DOSA DIVAS felt like deja vu. And then I remembered 😄 #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #animator #animation

Volleyball is actually pretty hard IRL 😅 Took me some time to learn this serve. #dosadivas #indiegame #animator #videogamesirl #animation

Many customizable combinations in DOSA DIVAS. All I got IRL is a pair of reversible shorts 🩳 #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

Another VC bro attack that’s hard to block perfectly in DOSA DIVAS #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

Hard to convey flavor on a screen but this one definitely has a kick🦵 #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #videogamesirl #animation

Main antagonist Lina and her mech has some of the hardest attacks to block in Dosa Divas. #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

A quick dismount animation to make going into to battles snappy in DOSA DIVAS #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

One of the earliest animations in DOSA DIVAS. Hard to figure out how to replicate IRL tho 😁 #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #videogamesirl #animator

16 games over 22 years. Most recent one, Dosa Divas is out today! I role play a gamedev in ACNH 😄 #gamedev

I wonder what it looks like to people passing by 😄 #dosadivas #indiegame #videogamesirl #animator #animation

These VC bro attacks get trickier later in the game. But it’s not hard if you know what to watch for #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

Hookshot is a later-game upgrade for your mech in Dosa Divas. I would strongly suggest a helmet for the real-life version 👷‍♂️Take this as a reminder to do taxes this weekend if you live in USA😄 #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #videogamesirl #animator #screenshotsaturday

A design decision to reduce friction while gathering ingredients. No need to press a button and stop for an animation. Except for the crab pot which is a much less frequent pickup and it’s fun have a short little flourish animation. #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

No Steamdecks were harmed in the making of this video😁 If you like active turn-based combat like Mario RPG, Sea of Stars and E33, DOSA DIVAS is for you. It’s also a game about cooking and family. Out on April 14! #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #unity3d

A spammable dedicated honk button📢 is a feature added even before deciding what it’s gonna be for. It ended up being an active way to take food orders from hungry NPCs #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #animator #animation

Risked my expensive gaming laptop for this😆 These VC bros are the hardest to perfect block cos their attack animations have all kinds of fakeouts to trick you into blocking too early. #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

We try to make traversal fun and chill for exploring and gathering cooking ingredients. These are NOT supposed to be platforming challenges. It’s mostly running around in a mech but there are a few ziplines, wallruns and poleslides sprinkled in #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

A 30-second overview of what DOSA DIVAS gameplay is about. 12-15 hr narrative adventure with no grinding. I do all of the character animations in the game. #dosadivas #indiegame #animator #animation #gamedev

While a concept maybe cool on paper, it doesn’t always have intended affect on players. I thought a mech having movement freedom to swivel like that is pretty cool. But looking like an attack is not right. A similar kick is used for destroying corporate propaganda tho #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev

Found this dictionary with some flipbook animations I did as a 12-year-old. I was supposed to be learning Mandarin in a Singaporean primary school but made a terrible short film on an English dictionary instead😆 - #animation #animator #flipbookanimation #dosadivas #indiegame

Attack animations are a factor for game balance in DOSA DIVAS. Lina, main antagonist, and her mech have some of the hardest attacks to block perfectly. - #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #animator #videogamesirl

I’m the only animator on the team making DOSA DIVAS and animations aren’t the only thing I do. Everyone on the team does more than their main role. This is one of many tricks for efficiency. #dosadivas #indiegame #animator #gamedev

DOSA DIVAS passed certification on STEAM SWITCH and SWITCH 2 PLAYSTATION 5 XBOX S/X Launching April 14🎉 - I don’t have a pair of gold pants to change into but Seahawks are pretty golden this year. #indiegame #dosadivas #gamedev #animator #animation

I can’t be cool like KABI, the travelling merchant in DOSA DIVAS. Next time, I’m gonna try to at least flip the ‘table’ while jumping #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #videogamesirl

We call it feet IK but it’s a full body blend based on angle of ground under player.A custom unity component tracks pitch/roll and feeds it back to animation controller which uses a 2D simple blend state with. If anyone is curious I can answer in comments #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev

So much easier to do this in the game #dosadivas #indiegame #videogamesirl #animation #gamedev

Our lead programmer Justin made this many projects ago. Many other debug tools related to turn-based battles and cooking got added over the years. These tools make it possible for us to be efficient as a small team on DOSA DIVAS #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #unity3d

Every physical attack in DOSA DIVAS can be BLOCKED perfectly. Gotta watch those moves closely and remember to block right before attack lands #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #jrpg #videogamesirl

A very broad stroke tip. If anyone is curious, I can answer specific questions about 3Dsmax CATrigs in comments - #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #animator #animation

Even their mechs like to kick these sleazy lawyers. We wanted the mechs to have wide range of different looks in DOSA DIVAS. This one legged briefcase 💼🦿mech is one of the earlier ones designed #dosadivas #indiegame #videogamesirl #gamedev

Kicking corporate greed one sleazy lawyer at a time in DOSA DIVAS #dosadivas #indiegame #animation #screenshotsaturday #videogamesirl #gamedev

This tool saves us so much time. Making it easy to debug specific sections on #dosadivas #indiegame

I don’t have a winged-mech, only got 2 fans🪭🪭 for this recreation of Lina, the main antagonist in DOSA DIVAS #dosadivas #indiegame #videogamesIRL #animator #gamedev

Reminder: -Frankenstein is the doctor’s name -You play as Link(mostly), not Zelda -You play as Lara, not Tom and gameplay isn’t about braiding

A simple solution to variable move speed. If this short video is unclear, I’ll answer more questions in comments #dosadivas #indiegame #gamedev #animator #animation
