You can hardly tell in pictures, but these monitors have completely different color settings and it changes the feel of the Peridot Woods map so much it's crazy. 🌳

This week we're going map-by-map and setting up all the crazy things that happen. Then we end each day with a quick playtest of the new areas and take some notes on improvements to make first-thing the next morning. #screenshotsaturday

Everyone's talking about The Big Game 🏈 today, but we only have room for the Big Game 🎮 we're making together on our minds this weekend! #indiegamedev #SuperBowlLX

Got a whole handful of features done today. It's really nice when our second programmer soars overseas to us and we get to go HAM all weekend on the project. Feels like a real indie studio with the three of us giving it our all in the same room.

I know we didn't exactly nail it design-wise, so it's cluttered, but it works. Plan is to reimagine the whole thing from scratch for DX. #gamedev #userinterface #UIDesign #uiuxdesign #unity

Today's mission has been sprucing up maps so players can't just walk past all the interesting obstacles. (That mostly means strategically placing rocks, trees, and walls everywhere. 🪨 )
