fun fact !

art in an a game doesn't necessarily have to be beautiful, all it has to be is both feel right and look special


by feel right i meana:

consistency (you want all your assets to work well together)

practicality (important things like the player, collectibles, power up's, enemy bullets should all pop out of the rest of the game, don't wanna make the background art so detailed it's the only thing your brain can process 🥔)

and finally, color theory (not only do you want all your colors to feel right, but you also want a warm place to feel warm and a cold place to feel cold and so on)

i see so many indie devs making games with the idea that all they need to learn is how to code, witch is just wrong

if you actually want your games to succeed then you'll need to learn things like sound design, marketing, graphic design, story writing, scene composition and a lot more, so you better get ready for all of that 🥔

or you could just make a short horror game and then plead for someone slightly popular to play it, that works too 🥔

(all of that also applies to people who are working on big undertale fan games)

I'm tired of working on sad ass depressed dust skeleton :[

i miss working on anxious jester and muscular funny bones... 🥔

i just want yall to know the second silksong is out, all my games will be officially canceled 🥔👍

sorry not sorry, womp fucking womp, LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL, SHAW!!!

"dusttale: dont forget" will have as much accessibility options as possible (as many as i can handle)

so different languages, color blind friendly game design, flashing lights on and off switch for people with epilepsy, AND good old difficulty settings 🥔

this one was supposed to be an end game song for the demo (didn't drop the full thing cz it's got a lot of spoilers)

the lyrics where made by me and the actual song was made by a friend (he didn't want me to credit him)

this should give yall a better idea of what to expect out of this game.

here is some more progress from the battle side of the game

nothing special, just a simple attack

don't mind the song, its just some random playlist on yt

Happy #WIPWednesday! Are you working on a game? Making some art? Practicing a song? Something else? Tell us in the comments!

completely random, but with the way the UTC is as you all know.

I'm kinda surprised i didn't get a doc "exposing" me by now 🥔

guess your boy the potato is just too cool to be canceled 🔥... or I'm just not well known enough for all of that just yet 🥔
