Some people love making games. Others just want to have made one. Next fest is drowning in the second kind -_-

Lets make another fish! 🐟️ #pixelart #gamedev Btw, would anyone be interested in a normal speed recording, perhaps with some yapping about the process?

I just published my first #construct3 addon: Smooth Follow. A convenient way to replace instances where you would lerp() object positions!

Here's another short about how we animate fish in Sea Sniffers! And how do we achieve this waviness? We use #construct3's mesh deformation system! This could also be done through a shader, but the mesh deformation allows for a more granular and hands on approach! #gamedev #pixelart

Rough animatic vs final result ✨️ The Sea Sniffers reveal trailer has a short animated opening which I brought to life in After Effects. It started as a very simple sketch just to get the idea down!

If you are into Android gaming handhelds: Mighty Goose runs great on the AYN Thor using Gamenative ~✨

Okay now the TGS FOMO is hitting for real. With all the pics and videos flying around 🥲 Oh well, lets get back to work ~☕️

I'm pretty happy with the Sea Sniffers announcement trailer response! Considering we revealed in the middle of Zelda, a new iPhone, Kojima gossip, etc. 😅 Despite all that noise, IGN and some others picked it up, so that's pretty sweet!

🦭🎣 Announcement! 🎣🦭 We’re partnering with @playismen.bsky.social to bring Sea Sniffers to the world! Today we’re revealing our brand-new trailer, launching our revamped Steam page, and sharing what we’ve been working on! #gamedev #pixelart #indiegames #construct3

I actually like the Zelda graphical style. For a remake it fits. The original game was kind of dark and moody and this look feels kind of an evolution of the original vision.

About comparisons to fanmade Unreal engine 'upgrades': It's a mainstream game look, so yeah most non-artistic people will just say it looks great. Artistic people are basically just saying they want to be inspired by something new :p (next main game folks!)

I'm back from my 3-month work trip in Sweden and Finland! I swam in the lakes, ate all the local foods, and sat in the sauna (a lot). Sitting at my desk at home, it feels very weird to be back. I did manage to get some work done, so you can expect some cool stuff soon ;)

It's time for some goose speedrun action! Catch the Mighty Goose Any% Ceto Race (Adara vs Keiichi) on Friday, August 14! 🪿 💥 🇯🇵 13:28 JST 🇪🇺 06:28 CEST 🇺🇸 00:28 EDT / 23:28 CDT / 22:28 MDT / 21:28 PDT (Aug 13) Part of @rtainjapan.bsky.social

Status update! We're still in Sweden, still larping as 'digital nomad'. Really enjoying the summer here while the Netherlands is being blasted by heatwaves haha. Beautiful country with opportunities to really enjoy nature everywhere (see pics!). People are super friendly and chill!

Beforehand I thought working remotely might be a challenge, but tbh its fine. The only thing I really miss is my desk and chair. AirBnB's are typically not equipped for long work sessions. But then again, I can take a break, go outside and pick some berries or talk to a squirrel. :)

After some thought we decided to extend this trip. We could go home yeah, but actually I don't want to! Plus, I have a craving for karjalanpiirakka. So yeah, next stop: a place where you can get them 👀
