I used to be ok at this but now I kind of suck. They really should make it so skills don't degrade over time and we can put them in a box and never think about them again for half a decade with no consequences. #pixelart #gamedev #GIMP

Waaay better. Also, wriggly physics hair! She'll get an idle animation and even wrigglier hair eventually, but now I've fixed all the rendering bugs and remembered how to animate, maybe it's time to start adding content... can't avoid it forever, right?

Aaand I went with something totally different Of course! Next - actual sprites, probably.

Everything works!! No one's getting stuck in any walls, or flicked into space, or staring into the fire forever... success! Now it's time I finally write a little about the language and software I'm using, in case any of my 1 followers are interested...

Aaand... tadaaaa! Scene changes, plus saving and loading from JSON!! Need to fix the glitchy player animations (and my save/load functions are pretty hacky rn), but it's 2 more steps closer! #pixelart #vectorart #MonoGame #XNA #Spine #Esoteric #CSharp

I remembered how to draw sort of!! Although perfectionism is not being my friend right now... maybe soon I'll stop pushing vectors around and actually achieve something, who knows, really? Maybe I'll push vectors around forever! It's anyone's game!!

Mmm... I changed my mind. This one's better.

Presenting as promised... one sprite! This is the first time I ever felt like I got the top-down angle right, so I'm feeling pretty pleased with myself. Now I get to do the fun part!

A menu! And a screen transition!! (that only works when loading files rn..) This all took way too long. But it does look cool!! Now let's see if I can do story time without writing an entire autobiography...

Finally! an asset for this actual game instead of an old, unrelated one! I kind of hate it she keeps going momentarily bald, and how have I made her legs so weird, and I really need to make it transition nicer between directions... but it's a start!
