Since I have to draw more assets (it's time to code gameplay, no more empty rooms!) I'm making some art of enemies, both pixel art and a digital painting. I'm working on the peridot carbuncle today. #gamedev #indiedev #sketch #wip

I'm trying to make the nodes/materials blend into the world somewhat, but I do adore that Rune Factory charm where it just kinda floats on the floor too.

"The Art of Over the Garden Wall" (Expanded edition) : Cover illustration by Nick Cross. Pre-orders >> www.catsuka.com/shopping/ind...

"The Art of Over the Garden Wall" is being reissued in an expanded edition ❤️ Regular edition >> www.catsuka.com/shopping/ind... Deluxe edition >> www.catsuka.com/shopping/ind...

I'm testing a new inventory system. Your tools are separate from your inventory so that you may use the extra space for foraging, hoarding enemy drops, and using food/herbs. You will use the mouse wheel to select a tool, and left click to use it. #gamedev #indiedev #wip #gif #indiegame

I am reaching a phase where more art must be done so that the tools aren't vegetables, and so I can finally code player/enemy stats. I suppose this is a good time to work on and finally release the comic that's a prequel to the game....Ch.2 is halfway colored, I want to finish coloring tonight.

I'm working on assets for the basic tools before coding proper gameplay. I need finished artwork before I hack away at that. In this thread, I'll show off assets as I finish them. #indiedev #gamedev #wip #gamemakerstudio

Art for the sleeping bag. Sleep in dungeons so that you can continue field research without having to go home. It can only be used in rooms with no enemies, and always advances to 6am the next day. It was made for you by Muireall and Chongrak. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #illustration

Sidenote: after replying a ton of Mario & Luigi, I think it's best if these tools are their own menu so that your inventory is free for items. Nothing drives me more insane in Stardew/Mistria than when I'm adventuring and my tools take up a ton of slots that could've went to items.

"Animal Farm" has been remastered in 4K. The first British animated feature film, directed in 1954 by John Halas & Joy Batchelor. Based on George Orwell's novella. UHD / Blu-ray >> www.catsuka.com/shopping/ind...

Testing tool selection, as there are no nodes for the hammer and pickaxe to hit yet. But now the wand isn't the default mouse anymore, thank goodness! #gif #gamedev #indiedev

I still have one more tool to draw, the sleeping bag, which allows you to sleep in dungeons as long as no enemies are around. I am working on drawing that tonight.

The hammer is done. As said in the post before it, you'll use it to break rocks in dungeons to get resources for gifting/crafting, but some enemy types do live under and inside of them, and may even mimic the way rocks look while resting...so look closely before swinging! #indiedev #gamedev

Art for the pickaxe. Swing it at old structures in for artifacts, which you'll ship to researchers in exchange for money. The first time you deposit an item into the shipping bin, you get a bonus on the sell price. Copies have a flat sell price. #gamedev #indiedev #illustration

Done. Needed a break from gamedev stuff. Muireall as depicted in the demo/prototype! A cait sidhe taking human form and has served the player's family for generations. #ocsky #catgirl #illustration #art #animegirl #oc #originalcontent #originalcharacter #folklore

Another wip for the night. I'm making full art of Muireall in her little tutorial corner for promo material for the demo-prototype hybrid. #wip #catgirl #illustration

I love giving my characters stupid shoes.

Eventually, I'll add a makeshift crafting table and shipping bin next to her. Have another wip. ...you can tell what video game has consumed my entire conscious based on how I rendered, lol #ocsky #catgirl #maid #wip #illustration #animegirl

Another day, another tool... #wip

I fear that I am obsessed with the little effigy of the goddess on the sacred urn. Hopelessly dependent on the ingot, if you will.

Yes, it has been knocked down before, and yes, each time everyone would stop what they're doing and gasp in shock. However, these things never seem to break, and no floods, plagues, and crop failures have happened when it does fall. In modern times, they collect dust as folk religion fades.

The one priestess left in Aelfhollow by the time you finish your studies and become archmage of the town wants to revive a few traditional festivals, as the town has a lot of heritage from the clan that celebrated this festival.

I fear that I am obsessed with the little effigy of the goddess on the sacred urn. Hopelessly dependent on the ingot, if you will.

I usually hate sharing #worldbuilding tidbits via social media, but I'm a narcissist and I love talking about my art and writing. Anyway, this type of urn is known as the "Urn of the Goddess," and it was used a lot in religious festivals dedicated to the goddess of magic/the supernatural.

There are multiple-the player's family, the Veilnests, own one as town leads, but most are stored in the shrine in town. It would be hung by the cloth above the festivities. Tthe goddess is said to descend, go inside of it, and watch the people be merry.

This idea was scrapped-an arcane urn repurposed to collect liquids for recipes...perhaps that's for the best, as the local priestesses wouldn't like seeing a sacred urn being used for field research. #indiedev #gamedev #illustration

Tonight, I am drawing the hammer. Have a wip. Use it to break rocks and geodes to get gems for crafting/gifting and stone for upgrading town...but watch out! Some creatures love living under rocks, inside of rocks, and disguising themselves as rocks...carbuncles especially. #wip

One is already in the game-your wand! You will use your mouse to observe enemies. Learn their behavior and biology by making circles around them while dodging attacks. Once fully observed, they will run away peacefully, or leave behind an item for you to use in crafting/gifting. #indiedev #gamedev

Testing transitions and map scaling here. I still have a long way to go, but it's shaping on up. ...I think it's about time I add some proper running/walking animations as well... #gamedev #wip #gamemakerstudio #gamemaker #gif

Oh yeah, these rooms were the most wonky scale wise, but now they're stellar. Today, I want to finish my UI, and fix small things before adding gathering nodes to the rooms. They look empty now, but when creatures and plants are added, the Aelfwood will come to life! #gamedev

Trailer for "All Saints Street - The Secret of the Old Castle" (2026 Halloween Special Episode).

Catsuka@catsuka.bsky.social

A new Halloween special episode of "All Saints Street" will air in China on October 31. The last season aired in 2023.

I keep making mistakes, so that's my sign to take a break or stop for the night. But I did make this so I know which room goes where. transition objects are a pain in the butt.

Today's work: player presets and a rough inventory screen. You're an archmage, mayor, and adventurer in one. You upgrade the town, record flora, fauna, and ancient artifacts, and craft your own equipment. The green tab will be the almanac tab. #gamedev #screencap #wip #pixelart #conceptart

Ah, finally got the tabs working... #gamedev #gif

Rip finally to the player placeholder. It was cute while it lasted.

Player concepts. Part time mayor of town. part time scientist/archeologist, part time adventurer, full time archmage. #sketch #conceptart #characterdesign

A sneak peak of how it's going. You can tell I was stoked the layered illustrated sprites and collision works, lol. I made the above images because it's time to make some designs for the player. #gamedev #gif #wip #gamemakerstudio

*peek. It's 11pm where I am. Sleepy...

Some more #wips for the prototype. Testing portrait styles, and showing off more of the super small dungeon that'll be featured in it when I send it out for feedback. #gamedev #gamemakerstudio #backgroundart #illustration #gamedemo #demo

By the way, the comic is still being worked on! I'm between jobs and the game has kinda taken over my life, but I haven't forgotten it. With Tapas going down soon and Webtoon being...Webtoon, I'm also looking at a mirroring site for it too, which is also why launch is taking so long.

I ADORE ComicFury. The community is also super duper warm, there's a forum for discussions/character roleplay, and your comic's site is fully customizable! It's also very beginner artist friendly, something you don't see a lot online anymore. Please host your comic there, you won't regret it.

Jey Pawlik 🏳️‍⚧️@jpawlik.com

Go watch the Comicfury 101 talk I did with the wonderful @beefsen.bsky.social Comicfury seems to be one of the last old web webcomic holdouts out there! - is anti-ai - is pro-nsfw - has a huge archive of cool comics - built-in readership www.youtube.com/watch?v=AJ0M... #Webcomics #ComicFury

It seems that people really like my game dev stuff, so here's some hand drawn BGs for the first dungeon/prototype! You can see me get better at painting with each one, lol. This is the Aelfwood, seat of power for the Spring Sovereign(ess). #illustration #gamedev #wip #backgroundart #forest

I didn't realize the game dev sphere on here was so bustling/active, wow. In that case, I'd love to post more about my project, I just hate sharing game progress until art is done since games take forever and ever to make. You can blue ball people if you show too much at one time.

@webcomiclibrary.bsky.social

Ah, I forgot to post these too. I'm practicing Mana series style pixel characters for...something. If the prototype's development goes smoothly, I'll show it off more. But for now, here's a sneak peek. #pixelart #ocsky #goddess #elf #gamedev #legendpfmana #aseprite

Also, it seems that right when I got back to work, Tapas decided to shit the bed, and Webtoon we've been known is a not so great platform, so yeah, my comic will be hosted on my personal site first and foremost, which I will link the moment I finish this chapter.
