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

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™‚

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

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

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

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
