I'm just here to find some mango chutney. I'm not ready to tango with uncle chipps who is always 35% extra.

Watched Student Bodies tonight and this scene made me doubletake pretty hard.

Owlboy's 10 years old 🦉👴 Currently prepping our annual live-stream. Tune in on our Twitch Nov 1st ♥️

Go out and vote today in the referendum if you're in Alberta. Send these separatist losers packing.

PSA: The latest NVIDIA App update adds a Default-ON option that allows AI Agents to control the app... Might want to turn it off.. Even aside from being lame AI features, that feels like making security even worse by defaulting it ON.

A decade later, here are some new features for #Owlboy 🦉

How you find me

Oh yeah, this new mushie is available in my shoppe too.

More Pepperbee project shit~ I love this guy, very happy with the animations. Here is a test of this boss' "weak state". He otherwise blocks you. #pepperbee

Someday I want to reskin Bram Stoker's Dracula for Sega CD as Dracula Dead & Loving It CD

With Takeover 2's release very close (final date to be announced soon) I wanted to show off the main visual! You'll be seeing this is marketing materials and eventually the physical boxart, etc. If you recognize the style, it was illustrated by the immensely talented @rennerei.bsky.social!

Working on an update for Owlboy for the first time in many, MANY years. Read more about the upcoming features and additions on Steam: store.steampowered.com/news/app/115... #steam #owlboy #gamedev #pixelart

Thank you all for your immense support for my animation recently. I'm back to reviving this project now, and it feels great to do so. I haven't shown much of my improvement since Iconoclasts, but not just my animation has improved immensely. Here's another Pepperbee guy: #pepperbee

Anyway! #pixelart #ドット絵

What should we name him? 🤪🪗 #pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #vikinggame

Some of my best animation work! #pepperbee

Each island in our game gets a unique version of this lil tune 🎶🥰 🎹 by @savant.bsky.social 🎨 by @snakepixel.art #gamemusic #indiegame #pixelart #vikingsontrampolines

How many people would actually want to print, cut, fold, and glue their own novelty videogame boxes or slip covers if I put some out into the wild?

We added a big ol' (!!!) warning signal to telegraph incoming enemy attacks. Are they a little too much tho? 😅‼️ #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #retro

This is the 3rd stage of the Adventure Mode in Vikings On Trampolines - a calm voyage across the bay! Well, calm if you ignore the BALLOON ONSLAUGHT ofcourse🪓🎈 #vikingsontrampolines #pixelart #gamedev

Throwback to when Brian and Mitchell of IGN dubbed Vikings On Trampolines amongst their favorites at Gamescom! We finally got to show the co-op Adventure Mode this year, and can't wait for launch next year! ❤️ @brianaltano.bsky.social | @jurassicrabbit.bsky.social

I'm thinking I'll be exclusively eating out of a cast iron bean cauldron all October

An old experiment of a clean pixel art style combined with dynamic shadows #pixelart

It’s the weekend! Let’s stretch a little with these cats. Cats seem to know better than we do how to truly relax. Stretch your legs, loosen up, and let go of the week’s tiredness. I hope these little cats bring a bit of ease and a good mood to your weekend😊 #shouxinsketch #cat #sketch #sketchdaily

This was a fun little distraction project. I took a busted Saturn and put my batocera linux pc in it. I'll eventually have the GPIO use the lid/ reset buttons to exit / restart the game. Some other optional things and touch ups I could do but it's pretty much done. #retro #diy

Real talk. A multi-year gig that I was using to pay bills is suddenly ending on me. If you have any remote positions that could use someone with 10+ years of experience in gameplay & combat design, writing & narrative design, let me know. Or if you're a publisher and want to fund an RPG, contact me.

Since there's a chance there will be Megaman Dual Override news while I'm at Gamescom, I'm working on something in advance. (No one knows who's been selected, I'm just making things for fun.) #pixelart #ドット絵 #megaman

I've been learning Godot for the past 6 months and I needed a placeholder character to test some stuff... So naturally I spent an unreasonable amount of time making way more frames and directions than I needed #pixelart #animation

"There is a vehicle in your driveway"

Pixeling more enemies for Vikings on Trampolines. Needed an enemy that could pop the balloons you're standing on. Like... a bird, that carries a saw. A Saw-Bird. Man... I made that beak real floppy. #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev

Still making Vikings on Trampolines backgrounds. This one was frankly pure indulgence on my part. We had usable assets for it, but I was feeling the summer this month. #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev
