I originally didn't have boss health bars in Zexion to create a "sense of tension". I later added them so that players could see the effectiveness of different weapons and better strategize. There are lots of weapons in Zexion, so it seemed kind of important. #indiedev #gamedev #Zexion

There was a mistake with the "Less Intense Palette" option in Zexion causing wacky unintended palettes in a few areas. I think players using that option thought it was intentional because of how weird those areas are! It's been fixed in the latest patch. #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

The Zexion seekers, Natu and Phantom. Seeing 0 Zexion fan art anywhere was a tragedy, I felt pretty much obligated to do this lol @gallantleaf.bsky.social #art #digitalart #zexion #indiegame #fanart #zexion #metroidvania #characterart

In terms of accessibility, I also like these photo sensitivity options I put in the game. An option to go and set them shows up before the game starts when it's first loaded up. #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Zexion features tons of different assist options to fine tune the difficulty of the game, should you need to. Lot's of different damage settings, and even Save States! So almost anyone should be able to play it. Doesn't prevent achievements either. #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

The Soundtrack for Zexion has been released! This is a special soundtrack release! In addition to 79 songs, it also includes FamiTracker project files for both Music and SFX with added commentary! #indiedev #soundtrack #gaming store.steampowered.com/app/3691900/...

PLAY ZEXION!! ITS SO GOOD!! ITS SO GOOD!! its literally so good it got the coveted "kay went out of his way to write a steam review" award so you can read me gush about it more in the ss

Okay, gotten to the end of this one. Spectacular game. After you get the double-jump it opens up HUGELY and there's so many objectives and bosses you can tackle in any order. And that finale... Goddamn! I really want to see this one sell, and for Gallant Leaf to make more games. This is their FIRST

My big challenging sci-fi action adventure Zexion is currently on sale! Check it out! #gamedev store.steampowered.com/app/3392510/... #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Ahead of April Fools, I'd like to suggest a couple of ground rules pertaining to video game developers. Rule #1: If you announce a joke game, you have to actually make and release it, even if just on a small scale. Rule #2: No "joke Dating Sims". Get new material! #indiedev #gamedev #aprilfools

I'm going to plug this game here too. This is a fantastic Metroid style game. If you're wanting something like NES Metroid where the action is harder and faster paced, I cannot recommend this enough. I got three bosses in and knew this game is ultimate.

My upcoming game Zexion comes out March 21st! Wishlist it at store.steampowered.com/app/3392510/... #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Bruh I can't wait to play Zexion from @gallantleaf.bsky.social . This little space-fella is so blessedly simple and iconic. I hope the game slaps half as hard as it looks to slap (outlook good according to beta testers).

krita / gimp question: does anyone know if there's a way to change the sequence of zoom levels in either program? i specifically never, ever want to see noninteger scaled pixels (eg 550%). seems like it should be possible to set the sequence manually.
