I don't post enough about my retro-computer-lesbians game. Going to change that by posting more under @PetallixGames :-) #1bit #pixelart #ドット絵 #indie #screenshotsaturday

I'm moving to BlueSky! See you there! :-) bsky.app/profile/microa…


Dev log 19: tightened the themes up in the pastel-y game. (My placeholder name for it is Timekeeper.) Was nice to write on call with friends!


Dev Log 18: hello! Back from my unplanned break. Had a family emergency. But feeling energized now! Worked on a mood board for visual direction for marketing art with my teammate today. Was fun to hang out. :-)


Dev Log 16: Redrawing and coloring my sprites to match my new UI colors! I didn’t make good progress. I noticed that I feel sad whenever I don’t make good progress and take a long time. Hard to balance working quickly and being satisfied with results.


Dev Log 15: Finished tweaking the UI! Now on to finalizing the sprite art style. Started redrawing Timekeeper, the protagonist, today.


Dev Log 13+14: went to Kinokuniya to find graphic design reference and then re-designed the UI! Much happier with the new direction.


Dev Log 12: Feelin genki today! 🙂 Read more of the book on storytelling. Araki’s character sheet is fun process! I’ll try it out.

Dev Log 11: work is really wearing me down so I didn’t manage to get much game dev done. I did find a book on story telling by the Jojo artist. His takes are unique. Would recommend. amazon.com/Manga-Theory-P…


Dev Log 10: Fixed up and UI mock and made more variants for speech bubble placement. Today’s tip: I’ve been sleeping on Google Fonts my whole life. The entire collection is free to use!


Dev Log 8: I was searching for a visual direction for the UI of my side project last night. I don't have much experience with art directing so It's slow going, but I managed to pick a name for the project! "Dying Dark" :-) Bleak name to pair with the cute aesthetics.


Dev Log 7: Drafted the modern plot line for Backtrace!! And this is my background exploration progress! instagram.com/p/DBYU8_YR1xT/…


Dev Log 5+6: Lots of background experimentation progress! Found a fast photo bashing workflow. Tip of the day: make sure your color profile is correctly set. RGB Adobe 1998 works well for digital art.


Dev Log 3: Experimented with a photo and paint over process for visual novel backgrounds. Was really inspired by Adelta's new game, Ooe! adeltaz1.wixsite.com/owen


Dev Log 2: Shorter writing session today, so I only finished one character sheet. But that's something! \o/
