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. 🪨 )

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

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

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.)

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...

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.

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

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

Added some ambient traffic to a shady city for my game. They'll be driving in and out of this tunnel. 🚓🕳️
