Going Wild with Emojis :)
What're your thoughts on the use of emojis in video games?
#ti #theinbetween #solodev #thoughts


Looking back into many games out there, I realized not much effort is put into emojis and alert prompts in the game, other than it being a way to tell the player an enemy's about to attack or something like that. Some exceptions are some visual novels though like the 'OBJECTION!' and 'HOLD IT!' in the Ace Attorney games.
So, I decided to try to give my emojis some form of life to further add some emotions to my game characters. Mostly because I was bored and also because, why not? :P

Finally back to animating the NPCs in the village. Here's a random conversation. But hmm..... that sign... how come only Pipit can read it? Is he even the one reading the sign?! And who's Tovia T. Sappot? And how did that person know about the timer!?!

Pipit got a palette change. :) #GameJoltColors #theinbetween #ti

So...... Out of curiosity, I wondered... "Hey, the game's inspired by Undertale, right? So why not use one of Toby Fox's songs to see how much it rhymes."πŸ˜… p.s - I do NOT want to get sued, so I'd definitely change it back to its original song.πŸ˜‰

After a pretty long time of sketch, I finally got the bakery all set up...... Time to get the Bakers though.. :_)

My three favorite games are Metroid Fusion, Undertale and Iconoclasts. These three games are a huge source of inspiration for my latest game; an Undervania called The InBetween. :) #NationalVideoGamesDay
