Inaugural Post

Hello everyone! Welcome to my blog! This place is to make posts for the projects I'm currently working on and document my journey through game development. Things you can expect: WIP updates, what I am working on, and just other game related things. I want to look back on my progress in a few years and see how much I have developed. I hope you join me on my journey!

I am overdue for an update here, but I haven't done much as far as developing my own games. After going on vacation in mid-June and coming back with renewed vigor, I didn't do anything for a week. Motivation and vigor restored!!

Instead, I continued the Unity 2D learning path I was on and thought of a really silly visual novel idea. Because of the visual novel, I also started learning Ren'Py.

The visual novel will be a very not serious dating sim where a random astronomer has the chance to date or befriend celestial bodies in our solar system. It's based on a prompt from this writing prompt service I have. The prompt is as follows: "The Moon, feeling lonely, decides to visit Earth for a day, making friends with a curious young astronomer.

It will follow an entirely overwhelmed astronomer (you) as you keep meeting the different celestial bodies taken human form. Their characters are loosely based on their divine Roman/Greek counterparts as well as the astrological signs they rule over. I want it to be just a silly, sexy time.

Anyway, this is basically it for the updates for now. 'Til next time!

Current Projects

Right now, I am working on two main projects. One is a remake of Oracle of Ages so I can learn how to make a pixel art game. The other is a cute pixel art game where you play as a shepherd who needs to collect the different seasons because they've run away from Father Time. It's supposed to be a cozy, puzzle solver where you find and rescue seasonally themed animals.

I am by no means a pixel artist, lol, but I have some assets started.

I used a template from pixilart.com for the basic poses, and I have a winter and a summer look completed. Now I need to give him a spring and fall ensemble.

I also have the spring lamb sprite sheet completed:

There' still a lot to be done with the initial assets! (If I remember, I'll edit this original post as I complete things lol)

Summer cow sprite sheet

Fall alpaca sprite sheet

Winter horse sprite sheet

Shepherd's sheep dog sprite sheet

environment tiles (grass, stone, water, barriers, trees, buildings, each colored for the 4 seasons). Since I already have them created, I will probably borrow a lot of the environment tiles from the Oracle of Ages for the time being just so I can get started on things.

NPCs sprite sheets

Father time and his herding dog sprite sheet (started)

Write a story script

Come up with a game title lol

Lots to do, and I'm SURE I left things out, especially since I didn't include anything to do with actually programming the game. That's a whole other section haha. But I'm looking forward to working on this!
