I've also been doing a little bit of drawing for this recently.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 26, 2020
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. pic.twitter.com/BrolExYoLU
Found myself in a tricky situation this #screenshotsaturday
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 25, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/fdETineVk5
I week left to get involved in the #beach #cubecollab

If you're working on one please dont forget to submit it!#pixelart #pixelcollabs #collaboration pic.twitter.com/gjTuGMleDM
A little #horse treat for #screenshotsaturday !
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 18, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/BcAbo7DaQI
Have an issue where if I slide on the horse it changes direction.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 18, 2020
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 🤗 pic.twitter.com/oEitP6XbSb
I've spent a fair bit of time on this horse now and it has become a labour of love!
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 17, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/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 pic.twitter.com/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.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 15, 2020
So it's highly likely to happen! 🤣#indiedev #gamedev pic.twitter.com/un2QabTGVE
Something I've been meaning to do for a while is a penguin enemy for the frozen levels.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 15, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/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.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 14, 2020
Next thing on my to-do is fish for the water bits. #indiedev #gamedev #motivated pic.twitter.com/qgyEDV2389
Running for the horse now!
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 14, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/IHiYOOb7wI
Did anyone ever play Cadillacs and Dinosaurs in the arcade?
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 13, 2020
I loved that game so much yet forgot it existed until a couple of hours ago. What a game that was! pic.twitter.com/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.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 13, 2020
It was harder than I anticipated 🤣
Just need to do the run animation now.#pixly #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev pic.twitter.com/aVBJaWKPAf
Got a crumbling block sound from @ScowshMolosh so now these are feeling really nice.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 13, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/XraC6c5iBd
No theme this week for #cubecollab as it's going to take a short break for a couple of weeks.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 12, 2020
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.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 11, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/7Ix76DG7lY
Been working on some bits behind the scenes this #screenshotsaturday but I also returned to put some fixes into the collapsing platform!
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 11, 2020
Like how this is working now! I may adjust the timings a little yet though. #nakedlittledude #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev pic.twitter.com/BHoSqssNxE
wow not sure whats going on with glitchy video.....
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 7, 2020
What platform game isn't complete without some sort of crumbling block??
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 7, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/93pLWxJTEi
Not got a lot to show but I've been busy behind the scenes.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 6, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/I6JFNz8TKR
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?
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 5, 2020
Next #cubecollab theme is #openworld - Palette: https://t.co/r74Nv7XR3w - Deadline: End of 11/04/2020 pic.twitter.com/IIxQwn4b1L
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 5, 2020
I end the day knowing I was really productive both with art and with #nakedlittledude
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 3, 2020
Need to keep this momentum going!
RIP the #legend that is #BillWithers
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 3, 2020
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!
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 3, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/Tj6uxOcNXY
My entry to this weeks #cubecollab.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 3, 2020
Theme is #vinyl
Enjoyed this one. A simple yet effective cube. pic.twitter.com/mbBDepYbaq
I got a heads up from @ScowshMolosh that having the music constantly restart will get annoying.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 2, 2020
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 pic.twitter.com/L2FdG6KNku
So when I do reach for my own laptop it feels like I'm going to work.
— PixelShorts (@PixelShorts) April 2, 2020
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. pic.twitter.com/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
