Dead Drift

Showcasing the advances made in the Level Up / Upgrade Selection system. As players defeat the zombies, they will be able to pick new powers and become stronger, Vampire Survivors style!


The upgrade card art is still a work in progress, and I'm not totally satisfied with it yet. It looks too... solid, right now.

The upgrade icons are placeholders I got from this pack here, from Open Game Art. I'm using them to test where things will go and how they will look. I also think that the card text is still too small, but maybe this is aggravated by how cards 1 and 3 are crooked, making the text harder to read. I'll keep doing some tests in this regard.

Now, for the next steps, I'll code some of the powers and see how the game progresses from them. In this kind of game, powers and upgrades design is what matters the most, and the rest of the game will eventually grow from it and around it.

As soon as I have new powers working, I'll share them with you all here!

So long, suckers!

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

Hey, folks! It's been a while since I talked about Dead Drift, I wanted to give you folks a (not exactly) brief update!

Sharing the pixel art I did for a personal project I never got to make. The player would control an enchanted chest that had to investigate the disappearance of its wizard master!

What do you think? Would this had looked cool?

Dive into the cozy post-apocalyptic open world of Critter Cove!

Gentleman Rat Studios (@GR-Rob ) describe it as “a little bit Animal Crossing, a little bit Stardew Valley. Maybe even a little bit Windwaker, too."

It's OK if I repost my Jack Black Bowser drawing for the #MarioMovie quest? Some people might have missed it!

Oh, and if you don't know what this drawing is referencing, click on Read Article for the link!
