What if dying was only how the game began?

I think the key to it all...not just "making a car that can be entered and driven" but... make a world as a whole, where it kinda makes sense for the car to be awkwardly controlled. As long as it matches the rest of dynamics of the game world.

You can enter cars (still working on it) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation #stardewvalley #animalcrossing

Cool, as always.

Arrow keys to control. Might be a bit awkward for a car, but I've experimented with this before, kinda works OK given the genre/style of the game. I will post videos of driving in action soon.

I don't know why I've done this 1000 times in my life, but never made a game with characters in it. Perhaps this time will be different? #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation #stardewvalley #animalcrossing

Hi, I'm just a game dev with years of makings tests and demos. But never finished a game. I'm taking everything I know now to make an entire pixelart world. A fully alive city, cars, trains, forest, farming. Here's style preview. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation #stardewvalley #animalcrossing

Wait, what, 100 likes? Am I seeing this correctly?

If you make things on a computer digitally, a lot of your friends will often misunderstand you for "someone who spends a lot of time at computer and not real life"

not realizing...it taking some fucking massive amount of time to build something good

Yes, going to be multi-floor, can enter, walk around within each room (outside walls disappear.)

Well, if the core vision for the game is a character can change on a matrix:
age x gender x body type x animation frame x actions

Then..."just making one character for now" is exactly what this game is trying not to be (generic pixel art game everyone else is making)

My random city generator, just with pixel blocks now. But will be sprites later. (There will be pedestrians, cars and you can walk into the building, to different floors, and inside rooms) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation #stardewvalley #animalcrossing

Stop watching porn and you will see things for what they actually are.

Thank you bluesky for blurring pixel art animation. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #stardewvalley #animalcrossing

I'm not here to peopleplease anything, nor am I making a game for anyone. I am making a game my way for myself. If you like it, which a lot of people will, perhaps that's a good thing.

Erica-generica. I get the "oh but that's nakedness". Hey, I didn't make humans, okay? People have body parts that if they didn't you couldn't be born to see _any_thing. It's essence of art, to make things that imitate reality. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #animation #stardewvalley #animalcrossing

One thing I (do but) don't get is why people are so disconnected. Where is this hate coming from. Even people you don't agree with or like are connected to people you might.

It's like over-individualized people are gatekeeping their kind, blocking connections to others. (out of greed/superiority?)

Look, not everyone has a natural supermodel body. If you have it, great. Really, be grateful.

But it doesn't mean people with other body types are wrong or worse in any way. Its just different.

It's totally up to owner of the body to decide if it's ok or not, to change or not. Its just a body.

Not all ideas work. Pixel art is a very limited medium. To make something that makes sense for it, that works as an artwork, as a feature, is not easy.

Think of 1 key element and focus on it. Like for my pixel art character I am going to add braids. And ability to adjust their length.

And hyper-focus on each detail as if it's a separate entity. I will put the same amount of work into braids as I do into entire character.
