Love it! Lighting and light tricks are so crucial in games and movies, and sometimes I feel like the art of it is neglected. This is awesome.

Day 35: 2025/08/18 - 8.5h

Found & implemented more fitting (at least for now) SFX for terrain-specific footsteps, mumble voices for character text, melodic acorns, crackling torches, & household sounds for interactable objects & light switches.

Nice, sounds similar to what weโ€™ve done in the past - sometimes weโ€™ll do a quick prototype of a particular mechanic but yes, itโ€™s all evolving

๐Ÿ‘พgame devs: whatโ€™s your process when you first get a game idea? Fast prototype, concept art, or rough GDD first?

Day 3: Return of the Obra Dinn: unique, weird, but awesome art style, masterful use of perspective, color, and lighting. This game made me think about game dev and game art in a whole new way. How can I make something familiar feel new and fresh? Loved this one.

Day 2: Minesweeper: I kept trying to figure out minesweeper, reversed engineered it, and then beat the game over and over again. Fascinating in terms of patterns and simple game design ๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿผ #indiedev #retrogames
