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

It's been a while since I last stopped by.πŸ˜…

Anyways, lots of progress has been made on The InBetween; the world's first UnderVania over the past few months

Here's a teaser trailer. A double demo bundle + full trailer will be coming soon. Stay tuned!πŸ˜„

Made some progress, got rid of those early pesky bugs, added touch controls for mobile ;). Expect an early build soon, if you're interested. :D #theinbetween #ti #gamedev #solodev #undertale #metroid

Hello Everyone!

Wanted to share a little game i made for a game jam recently.

It's called Rotary Quest, it's like Only Up! But with a literal twistπŸŒ€, since you forge a path by rotating the world around you. Anyone interested in beating the game?πŸ™‚

This week's #FanArtFriday celebrates Pizza Tower! The game's 2nd anniversary is on January 26!

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˜‰

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

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!?!

Finally gotten some of that game feel. Up next, sound effects! and more combat! #theinbetween #ti

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
