@wallingf Yeahhh I read that one when it was written the other week too. Hard to know where all this stuff will land. I'm concerned about what it will mean for the future of software as craft

wrote about things in my mind lately…

A spell thing! How mysterious cc @douggers #unity #pixelart

I'm dumb af so I document my code in a google doc user manual, and also I get sick of myself pretty quickly. #indiedev #gamedev

A snippet of the prologue VN... Yumeru rushes in to give the newly summoned Elira some words of confidence.

Having lots of fun scripting this scene after wearing out on building combat systems 😃

Getting back into advent work after some time away to.. basically completely revamp our backyard. Love where this prologue chapter is heading #indiedev #unity #gamedev

In our latest devblog, @lucasgray and I talk about the experience of demoing at our first large show, the Midwest Gaming Classic!

I have mixed feelings about working on UI: on one hand it's both surprisingly complex and tedious. One the other hand when things do work, it's super rewarding.

Anyway, everything is still pretty ugly, so nothing to show yet. Here's a GIF instead for #screenshotsaturday

Happy #screenshotsaturday! Today I'm sharing a mockup of Advent's new✨title screen reveal✨(sound on!)

Early morning discord convo - it's been motivating having more folks in the codebase.

We are discussing enemy move previews. If a player has a tanky character, they'd likely want to move it to the front to block attacks against their squishies, in which case we should update the enemy ranges when the move preview changes.

Tricky stuff and not something I thought about.

Officially made the switch from the built-in render pipeline to URP. Feels good to be done, and it wasn't as hard as I was dreading, honestly.

Work is good but busy, a big feature delivered this week as well as planning to sell a few new products.

Planning to get back into the SP/AP systems, dragging my heels thinking about boring UI work :P

Happy 2024! New Year, new cast member: meet Cyrus, a powerful Archreaper who guides the player's Reaper party from the shadows.

A transmission from gamedev land - our December devlog just landed. Featuring my 2d lighting journey I've been yammering about 😄 https://adventofthereaper.substack.com/p/happy-holidays-from-advent-of-the

@jovialthunder ahhhhh I agree. Mixing non pixel fonts with pixel art is so jarring

@LewisHarrington I may steal their bump normal idea at around 19:00

@LewisHarrington I actually just stumbled on this video right after I posted https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPQOHX9hiL0 - if I did it all over again maaaybe I'd attempt something like this. Theoretically yeah maybe I could add perpendicular 3d on top merely for the shadow and lighting sake, true..
