A couple of very WIP shots of #Ella for #screenshotsaturday. Here she stands in the still yet uninhabited village of Derkenberg as well as checking out the inside of someone's house. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Built out the basics of the UI for reading books in #Ella. Now to actually program the books #pixelart #gamedevelopment

I don't know which is worse about refactoring code: the part where it takes forrreeeeevvvvveeeerrrr or the part where you have pretty much nothing visible to show for it despite it being so needed and impactful to your project

Here's my overworld theme for #Ella made using @beepboxco tinyurl.com/bdrwh994 #chiptune #gamemusic #gamedevelopment #composition

Been having too much fun drawing out scenes with my deep-dark-forest tilesheet for #Ella. This scene (or something very close to it) will probably make it into the game. Surely this upstanding hooded fellow isn't up to any foul deeds whatsoever. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Today's #pixel_dailies is #tent??? I just drew one of those a few days ago! Better stick it in a new scene. Looks like whoever was camping here ran into a bit of bad luck and didn't come back for their stuff. @Pixel_Dailies #pixelart #gamedev

Mocked up a rough idea for what one of the title screen backgrounds for #Ella might look like. Will probably end up animating some cloak movement and maybe a slight inhale/exhale motion from the werewolf. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Been procrastinating starting this guy, but as he is a pretty integral enemy type to my first level in #Ella and the narrative, I finally bit my lip and managed to get the front facing frame done. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Been messing around with @beepboxco for my game Ella and made this potential chiptune for the main menu. I might just end up using it: tinyurl.com/y2783kms #gamedev #indiedev #chiptune #gamemusic

My NPC collection grows! #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

New dev blog post on my current status and progression with #Ella spicybyte.studio/2022/01/02/… #gamedev #indiedev

And another little mockup with #Ella stumbling upon an abandoned campsite in the woods using what art I've made for deep woods. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

Tilesheet is still a work in progress, but I was drawing some cave tiles this morning and wanted to test them out. I threw together a little cave scene in Tiled and stuck #Ella in there to see how it all looked. I'm pretty happy. #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev

#gamedev #pixelart and #indiedev twitter crowd: help settle an internal debate in my head. I keep going back and forth on this and can’t make a decision for my own game. When you pick up a new pixel-art indie game, which type of soundtrack would you prefer to hear on it?

#pixelart twitter, I need your opinions. If you theoretically had to pick only one of these trees for use in a game and the other would be discarded, which one would you choose? #Ella for scale. #gamedev #indiedev

Put together some of the various bits I've been working on into a sample scene of #Ella slaying skellies in the spooky woods. #pixel_dailies #forest #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev @Pixel_Dailies

First iteration of the world map for #Ella #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

I've always struggled doing trees and bushes from a 2.5d perspective, but I'm pretty happy with how these turned out. Tree, bush, and spoopy-tree. #pixelart #gamedev #IndieGameDev
