PIXEL / PILES

the twine essence repurposed for the s33 boss battle #gamedev #indiegame #animation #twine

writing is the most difficult part of #gamedev for me and its the most difficult one to share also. similar to my pixelart vignettes, there will be text vignettes discoverable in the game giving some background to what happens in the #indiegame #twine.

working on another s33 5x5 pixel game concept #gamedev #indiegame #twine

s33 game "dominos": any neighbouring tile +/- 1 will fall #gamedev #indiegame #twine

oh my gosh - i was going for weird, but does this look too crazy? #gamedev #indiegame #twine

discovering a part of the dream body #gamedev #indiegame #twine

s33 boss appearing #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #animation #twine

you win some, you lose some. mini game nr 14 for the s33 done. #gamedev #indiegame #twine

dream incarnation of the s33 #gamedev #indiegame #aseprite #pixelart #twine

a boss architect evolution - less friendly edition #gamedev #indiegame #twine

i feel like i am being watched #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #twine

some weird dreaming inventory #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #twine

#idea: a city builder where each little physics-block is a room. you can use hundreds to build cities. you cycle through: → cozy building and decorating → frantic preparing for a pending disaster by installing tension cables, river fortifications, etc. → disaster strikes #gamedev #indiegame

the architect as a boss WIP #gameddev #indiegame #twine

trying to translate the light-text concept into the lowres pixel world of #twine - i still have no idea how the interaction could work, as i dont want to add mouse support into the game.. #gamedev #indiegame

does it look adequately weird and dreamy? #gamedev #indiegame #shader #twine

not perfect, not exactly what i wanted, but hopefully good enough.. #gamedev #indiegame #shader #twine

you'll never guess what this is going to be #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #twine

biologist boss fight: shooting #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #twine

integrating bullethell system with boss #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #twine

first animation test for the biologist boss in game #gamedev #indiegame #twine

transferring from #aseprite to #unity3d is surprisingly difficult in order to do 2d skinning - really learned a few tricks today.. #gamedev #indiegame #twine

idea for a minigame putting together text snippets to reconstruct memories. not sure if i can make it fit twines pixelart style though.. #gamedev #indiegame #twine

the biologist boss fight in fully insane anger mode #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #twine

dis/appear effects integrated into the game #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #twine

the teleport arrival effect - random positions converging to one position is considerably harder to make than the other way. this is why i cant accept time reversibility in physics :) #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #twine

teleportation effect #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #twine

implementing schedules for my old god npcs #gamedev #indiegame #unity3d #twine

an arcade classic for the s33 micro computer - here it is actually winnable :) #gamedev #indiegame #twine

for years now i am looking for an angle to build a game based on this simple idea: take photos of decaying forestry and use them as little landscapes for little creatures. #gamedev

s33 start-game animation #gamedev #indiegame #twine

integration of s33 games with cards #gamedev #indiegame #twine

back side of the s33 device #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #twine

throwback thursday: minesweeper on the s33 #gamedev #indiegame #twine

another classic done for the s33 micro console #gamedev #indiegame #twine

implemented the first #minigame on my tiny engine for the s33 in-game-console #gamedev #indiegame #twine

designing.a minimalist game engine api for the s33 (the in-game-console of #twine) is surprisingly easy after my little pico8 learning excurstion. #gamedev #indiegame

working on a concept to add "secret" mini games to the s33 in game device. not so secret when i post here ;) starting with a classic #gamedev #indiegame #twine

trying to up my floor decorations with these tilesets to give the player a better sense of location in large rooms #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #twine

back to the grind of level design: bench tileset and a small bench. i honestly dont know why i feel compelled to make everything into a tileset, but i have the vague feeling, that the game will need it at one point. #gamedev #indiegame #pixelert #twine

bea is slightly annoyed with us #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #twine

disturbing the architect on movie night #gamedev #indiegame #picelart #twine

not so easy to get back into the right mindset for #twine after a 5 week break.. #gamedev #indiegame

of course anything that can go wrong will go wrong. if you have played #belowishell yesterday, PLEASE give it another look today - i accidentally uploaded an old test build :( #gamedev #indiegame #fail #pico8 www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=159...

finally out! my second game release this year: BELOW IS HELL is a micro- #RTS for the #pico8. Build your base, manage unit specializations, harvest sparks and survive waves of red bugs clawing their way up from below! #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #belowishell www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=159...

unfortunately there are some bugs still to squash - here: stuck on campaign mode. tomorrow then! #gamedev #indiegame #pico8 #belowishell

this is the last feature i'm adding before the release. if todays test runs well, i'll release tomorrow! added memory - see here how to build a unit detector that can be reset #gamedev #indiegame #pico8 #belowishell

more testing, balancing, fixing and polishing. just a few days ago it ways too easy, today it was a real challenge. i think tomorrow might be the day! #gamedev #indiegame #pico8 #belowishell

balancing and introducing limits: unit cap, fracking only at faults, building costs increase with count, etc. to make the game a bit more challenging #gamedev #indiegame #pico8 #belowishell

clock chip and more complex circuit wired with leds #gamedev #indiegame #pico8 #belowishell
