I just discovered Nidhogg. And I wish I hadn't as I cant stop playing it 🤣

I've also been doing a little bit of drawing for this recently. Ignore the clash of styles I'm just messing around at the minute. Though I'm not sure if I have the time or more specifically the balls to attempt #isometric art for it. Although I do like it. https://t.co/BrolExYoLU

Found myself in a tricky situation this #screenshotsaturday While making this electric eel I realised #nakedlittledude doesn't actually have an attack in the water. So either you need to just focus on swimming away or I need to add some form of attack.😱 #indiedev #gamedev https://t.co/fdETineVk5

A little #horse treat for #screenshotsaturday ! We have idle, walk, run, jump and slide combined now. Pleased with how this has gone and now it's to my daughter to keep giving me her ideas! Now I need to work out how this will fit into #nakedlittledude #indiedev #gamedev https://t.co/BcAbo7DaQI

Have an issue where if I slide on the horse it changes direction. It shouldn't and the obvious fixes wont fix it so I'm missing something obvious. So my daughter decided she wanted a go at fixing it. Seems to be going well 🤗 https://t.co/oEitP6XbSb

I've spent a fair bit of time on this horse now and it has become a labour of love! I just need to add the jump animation and a slide for when you change direction. While this is primarily for my daughters game this will OFFICIALLY be in #nakedlittledude too #indiedev #gamedev https://t.co/X3thS5lEMI

Had to rewrite the water for swimming. I used a guide (which I still use for the surface shimmer) but I needed full control once under the water. So I wrote the main body of the water code myself. Ignore the background 😂 that wont be visible #indiedev #gamedev #nakedlittledude https://t.co/3f3NJR4ivd

My daughter tested her horsey and I recorded her. So here it is! Started a prototype of the game idea she had..... but actually having #nakedlittledude ride around a level like this might be quite a cool mechanic to have. So it's highly likely to happen! 🤣 #indiedev #gamedev https://t.co/un2QabTGVE

Something I've been meaning to do for a while is a penguin enemy for the frozen levels. The only issue I have is my sprites have a black outline which doesn't work on the penguin. Need to think about this. #nakedlittledude #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart https://t.co/4uSWNTvG3k

Well.... here is where the horse is at. 16x24 Idle, walk and run. Gave it a colour. I like him. And he can be used in #nakedlittledude and also in the idea my daughter had for a horse game. Next thing on my to-do is fish for the water bits. #indiedev #gamedev #motivated https://t.co/qgyEDV2389

Running for the horse now! It's far from perfect but it does the job. Now I just need an idle pose, colour it and decide how this is going to fit in to #nakedlittledude I fancy some sort of chase level while he is riding bare back.... I mean horse back. #indiedev #gamedev https://t.co/IHiYOOb7wI

Did anyone ever play Cadillacs and Dinosaurs in the arcade? I loved that game so much yet forgot it existed until a couple of hours ago. What a game that was! https://t.co/lHvdSgBX59

Been working on that horse again. It turned out it was far too big for #nakedlittledue 64x96 I think so I had to shrink it to 16x24 for it to work. It was harder than I anticipated 🤣 Just need to do the run animation now. #pixly #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev https://t.co/aVBJaWKPAf

Got a crumbling block sound from @ScowshMolosh so now these are feeling really nice. May have to sweep back and add some to the earlier levels or the caves. Need to work out why my recording have suddenly gone weird but problems for another day 😂 #nakedlittledude #indiedev https://t.co/XraC6c5iBd

No theme this week for #cubecollab as it's going to take a short break for a couple of weeks. Instead please can I remind you all there is a special that is running until the end of April and you are allowed to enter two of these. This should keep you all going in the meantime! https://t.co/G83nlWw0xk

A rare second #screenshotsaturday ! But I thought I'd put those collapsing platforms in a real scenario to test. Thing is... turns out my respawn is bugged. And the level reset 😂 Need to make it more obvious the platform is ready to jump on! #gamedev #indiedev #nakedlittledude https://t.co/7Ix76DG7lY


from Twitter : https://twitter.com/PixelShorts

Been working on some bits behind the scenes this #screenshotsaturday but I also returned to put some fixes into the collapsing platform! Like how this is working now! I may adjust the timings a little yet though. #nakedlittledude #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev https://t.co/BHoSqssNxE

wow not sure whats going on with glitchy video.....


from Twitter : https://twitter.com/PixelShorts

What platform game isn't complete without some sort of crumbling block?? It's early days yet and this needs some work but it's a good start.... yeah ....except for that random edge floating 🤣 Ooops! #nakedlittledude #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart https://t.co/93pLWxJTEi

Not got a lot to show but I've been busy behind the scenes. Written a few hundred lines of code to cover level variables, load, save, new game reset of them and mapping them to each level. Been a positive few days! #nakedlittledude #gamedev #indiedev https://t.co/I6JFNz8TKR

Sunday 5 April 2020

I've rebuilt the cave level and I have to say I went BIGGER. However I have also gone worse. Too much empty space and silly leaps of faith. I've decided to leave it for now and build all of the levels. Then return one by one and fine tune them. Is this the right way to do it?

I end the day knowing I was really productive both with art and with #nakedlittledude Need to keep this momentum going!

RIP the #legend that is #BillWithers And if there was ever a more poignant song for where we are right now..... I'll leave it to the man himself to sing it to you: https://t.co/SgnN5AWIMQ

This one is less about the game and more about the tune! An amazing track by @ScowshMolosh and I instantly wanted this as the title track. What do you guys think? Absolutely love this track! #nakedlittledude #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart https://t.co/Tj6uxOcNXY

I got a heads up from @ScowshMolosh that having the music constantly restart will get annoying. And he is the man about the music so more than happy to take his advice on these matters! So I took a little time to stop that from happening! #nakedlittledude #gamedev #indiedev https://t.co/L2FdG6KNku

So when I do reach for my own laptop it feels like I'm going to work. Tried to switch focus to art but this constant drop feed of shit news is currently winning. So sorry for being so inactive. I just need time to adjust to this as I'm sure we all do. https://t.co/dljzI3uP8J

Trying my hardest to be creative but struggling. I'm lucky to be able to work from home (although not sure how long that will last) but the lack of travelling means I get up and sit at my work laptop. I manage to get out to walk the dogs but it's the same streets every day 1/2
