The Market at Mistyport

Things have not slowed down at all during this time. If anything we are getting so excited to show you everything.

-Final Overworld Art is now complete
-Introduction/Tutorial Scene mostly complete
-Our market playability is nearly done! #pixelart #gamedev #indiegamedev #🎮#cozy

As we began compiling all the disparate parts of our build together, certain systems needed to be modified. Others needed to be completely overhauled. Certain art assets have been refined. Individual schedules had to go on pause. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegamedev #🎮#cozy 2/

Hey, Bluesky! It's been a while! So let me give you an update on our development because we have been working super hard on The Market at Mistyport since I last posted!

Short story: things are taking longer than we expected. But such is game development. #pixelart #gamedev #indiegamedev #🎮#cozy 1/

Thank you! We can’t wait for you to visit soon :)

Blessing the timeline with a seagull's-eye-view of Valura Pastures!

Thank you! I’m unapologetically turning the cuteness meter up as high as I can ☺️☺️☺️

I feel like showing off gigantic 16x16px icons is kinda misleading but just act like it’s those art images where you have to squint and hold it at arms length to get the full effect 😂😂😂

Giving art direction to my artist and collaborating on our icons is unironically some of the most fun on TMAM ☺️☺️☺️

Happy Saturday from Bright West Beach at Mistyport! The Ol’ Brinestone has become a popular fixture here after it got moored a while back 😊 #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #godot #🎮

Our amazing artist Fauzi Atomancer knocked another one out of the park with this overworld region :) #indiegamedev #indiegames #indiedev #pixelart #🎮

Thank you! I’m never great at explaining our artist’s process, but if you want to check out his website, I think he does talk about his approach a bit. He’s incredible! atomancer.com

Apologies for not posting in a couple days! We’re plowing forward but who knew game dev was a lot of work?! 😉 Here’s another section of our world, almost finalized. What do you think? #indiegamedev #pixelart #indiegame #indiedev #🎮

New #indiegamedev here: when it comes to balancing your game—think stats, buffs, debuffs, etc— do you just blindly choose values to start off and then playtest and tweak until perfect? #indiegame #indiegames

Happy Wednesday :-)

We reached an important milestone today: all components for our build are in a completed prototype phase!

Now, we begin playtesting, bug testing, and importing final art assets as we work towards our demo! #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #🎮

Thanks for that feedback :) we do love a good coral island date. Who were some of your favorite romanceable characters?

For those who like long walks on the beach…

Like a Bacta tank a la The Empire Strikes Back? 😅😅😅

💯 As a writer, I feel what you’re saying in my bones! I don’t want to give too much away, but rest assured. We got you covered there 😊

❤️❤️❤️

There are certainly some residents here at Mistyport who are naturally nurturing and attentive… others might need a little time to get there. But I think they will in the end 😊

What does everybody look for in their romanceable characters? Backstory? Humor? Looks? Relatability?

Been working overtime this weekend on all new ways to build relationships with our NPCs. It’s suuuper exciting right now #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #🎮

-ensemble stories
-maximalist art design

Couldn't agree more. My team has come up with great ideas when I just let them do their thing :D

I'm a huge fan of horizons in the distance behind the gameplay layer :D Do you got it on parallax so it moves a bit as you move left and right? 👨‍🍳🫴💋

Thank you! We're going to do everything to produce the greatest experience we can for the cozy life sim community :)

I can say with absolute certainty that our fishing is nothing like stardew valley’s ☺️☺️☺️

Now, I just need to make sure it’s fun for everyone. I do hope people enjoy it.

That being said, we’re going to be putting a twist on what “fishing” looks like in our game and I hope players enjoy it ☺️
