Think The Toad

Human artists, use only one piece to convince people to follow you ᕙ⁠(⁠ ⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠‿⁠ ⁠•⁠ ⁠ ⁠)⁠ᕗ

A shy hermit crab that hides like a mole and, after a few seconds, reappears.
A new mechanic added to play around with.
Notice the asynchronous blinking of its eyes… doesn’t that make it adorable?

Typical bounce on a mushroom, but with a different design to refresh a mechanic that appears in almost every game.

Suelo estar por el servidor ESPixelArt, soy un habitual, a ver si te conectas algún día broh! :)
Gracias por tus palabras. Igual si encaja te hago raid :)

Yo mismo estoy con Kauldron. Soy solodev, así que demoro bastante en llevarlo a cabo. Hago directos en twitch donde muestro los avances y demás vainas.

Hoy a las 23:30 aprox, abren Twitch para los habitantes de la charca. Estaré en directo haciendo pixeles y terminando su videojuego Kauldron. #Indievlog del bueno conectado con otro stream. Sorpresa!

Two years of work behind these screenshots.
Kauldron’s demo is so close!!!

¡Qué fantasía! ¡Si es que son lo mejor!
Ojalá tener tiempo para hacer un inventarío de todos los que veo por mi ciudad.

Trying to make this interactable pumpkin part of a cute little corner. Those branches are my hint that a special gameplay moment is close.

Maybe those who know me and still don’t follow it should follow this account. It only offers quality and good vibes.

Allow me this anti-algorithm advice.🐸

That's a good idea!

A #gamedev needs a #CreativeSanctuary to think, draw, and read in peace.
What does your special room or corner at home say about you?
For me, having a touch of nature is essential.

This wind from the depths of the earth, which is currently blocked, can be very useful to you. This way, I present a challenge for the player.

A good color choice is essential, usually not too many. In this case, muted greens for the swamp contrast with orange for key elements. Ten in total.

Thanks my friend!

What used to be just a simple rock you could drag around is now a curious nut hanging from its stem, throw it and use it wisely in Kauldron!

Sure!
Thanks for the interest. I already have a trusted musician by my side, but it never hurts to meet other musicians.

Hey! Thanks for your appreciation. The game is currently in an alpha-beta stage and I haven’t released any demo yet. There’s still the testing phase before the demo. I estimate it will be available in less than 5 months.

Here are a couple of examples.
The color palette varies slightly depending on the area. It adapts to create new atmospheres.
Thanks for your comment!

Look at the waterfall, several particle systems (among other things) work together to create the falling water effect. The #pixelart purists will say it’s cheating... I don’t know, I was just passing by. (Making Kauldron)

In Kauldron, visit your guide throughout the adventure, to be imbued with their ancient wisdom.

And now, with music by @tdp1047 (X profile).

Although the game is in #pixelart, the main menu unfolds in "traditional" art. Subtle particles and gentle character animations bring it to life. WIP, yet it already breathes mystery and adventure. Don’t you feel it?
#DarkFantasy #IndieAesthetics #SwampCore #IndieDev #gamedev

When you bring more than one object, they awaken in sequence, each finding its rightful place—accompanied by a gentle motion. #indiedev #pixelart

And what becomes of the secret objects you uncover on your journey? They awaken within the cabin, a place that serves as a living, visual archive of your discoveries.

Collecting an item should feel like a magical moment, so the animation needs to be uplifting and rewarding.
In this case, we tried with a huge mushroom.

Brutal el diseño Bruno.

Continuing with the animations. This time, the cauldron detects that you are carrying a skeleton, glows, and shudders when you drop it next to it.
#ドット絵 #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #unity3d

We already have a great animation to celebrate the achievement of rescuing a skeleton.
We also have a particle system for the points where they tell you their particular story. (Sorry for the mix of languages)
