We are still looking for games to showcase tonight. So if you have anything playable, that you want to have shown in my stream tonight. Contact me. If you can be present during the stream for any questions that might pop-up, that would be awesome! #indiegames #appreciation #indiedev

That sounds awesome, I don't do Minecraft really. I mean, I used to, in build mode. If there is anything I can help you with, by all means let me know. For those of you who don't know Daniel yet, go drop him a follow. You won't be disappointed.

Bluesky feels best for me when people actually talk to each other. Lately itโ€™s felt a bit quiet here - letโ€™s change that together.

By all means let me know when you have the devlog ready. Would love to see it. And yes, weather conditions always speak to the imagination don't they? But to convey them convincingly is quite hard.

Yeah, have been recording more on the process and the actual coding for the next stage. I will probably have to do something with the rain sprite to make it a little more clear. Working at the moment to make the rain interact with environment and player.

I've created a tiny little 1 minute devlog? youtube.com/watch?v=jgyf... The result of a poll I did a while ago, was that you wanted to see me do Devlogs, this probably is just halfbaked, but it shows the beginning of my weather system. Let me know what you think.

This morning I was nearly in an accident. Five centimeters made the difference. Even after a rotten night, my reflexes kicked in right when it mattered.

Weโ€™re often stronger and sharper than we think. If I can do it on a bad day, so can you.

Today Iโ€™m designing the Poseidon/Atlantis level for Gaia.
Most of Atlantis sits safely above sea levelโ€ฆ until the boss fight, when Poseidon strikes the earth with his trident and the whole world floods.
What would you add to pre-flood Atlantis?

I reworked some of the level design of Atlantis a little bit for Poseidon. Still not the tileset, but the dithering in the sky and mountains, as well as the reflection has been addressed. Now looks much cleaner, look at before and after. Before...

Hi, I am Max and I am working on a fully accessible 2D pixel-art platformer called Gaia, about my daughter, Greek Mythology and pollution. Recently I have been working on the #Poseidon level

Interesting, I must say I haven't played a lot of visual novels. The idea definitely has appeal.
