Experimenting with Lighting illusions using Tilemap layers. 💡#gamedev #pixelart #madewithunity

Gives the city a cool night life vibe that takes me back to Pokémon Gold & Silver...

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. 🪨 )

Each pony has DOZENS of expressive animations. That's why it takes so long to get each one from single concept sprite to finished in-game. (Aseprite's the tool used to get these pixels moving around so nicely.)

It's Officially ON!! 🔥 #BattleGemPonies Welcomes in the Year of the Fire Horse!🔥🐎🔥

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.

REJOICE! For all Saved Files shall now survive the approaching update... ☁️➡️📦 Basically, we coded a thing so nobody's save data gets scrapped or corrupted when the DLCs drop. #UnityDev #gamedev #debug

We made a scene validator tool today that tells us exactly which NPCs are misbehaving and how to fix them. #madewithunity

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
