There’s a certain deliciousness to playing a beautiful pixel game on a handheld. It just feels so right at that size, even if it looks good on a monitor too.

The colors are phenomenal, wow!
Hey, thank you! I hope you like the sequel even more :D

Haha, yay! It's shaping up to be really cool and I hope you like it even more than the first one :D

A woman in a red robe attacks a poorly drawn red and green wall. There are poorly drawn marks and arrows, indicating that the wall is a one-way shortcut. This all takes place in a narrow and spooky sci-fi tunnel.

On a more positive note:
I had no idea a sequel to Timespinner is being made.
Neat! 😃

A woman in a red robe prays in a room made of dark brown bricks. In the background are two columns of brick, framing a window showing a sunset scene of the sea, mountains, and a cloudy sky lit with god rays.

Got it! Thanks :D I did that with my Shanao dress too. Just kinda winged it lol
When you do a muslin mockup, do you make a pattern first on paper? What do you do when you need to change something?
Thank you! <3
One of my favorite #indie releases of 2018, and a real sleeper hit, in my humble opinion, was "Timespinner"
by @lunarraygames.bsky.social
An excellent #Metroidvania, and an absolute love-letter to Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
And there's a sequel on the way, too.

Development livestreams are actually really enjoyable! It's nice being able to hang out and chat with TS fans while I work. I haven't had any problems with backseat designing. If anything, I've gotten great feedback and ideas that I hadn't thought of!
Surprise!...? Haha :D
I use HD Index Painting to do most of my environments and large enemies. Learning this technique really saved me on the first game! www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Q36....
I do take time to polish each pixel afterwards- but it makes mocking up size, shape, and color so quick!
Haha! Tell her thank you for saying so :D
A woman in a red robe stands before a floating spiky starfish in a room with teal marble walls and an ornate brass archwindow. Behind the window is an underwater scene.

Always nice to hear from you in the streams <3
A woman in a red robe stands on an impossibly floating platform over a dark purple sea. In front of her is a massive blue, and poorly drawn, cloud. In the background is a dusky mountain horizon.
Today I'm going to be designing an interactable "Water Cloud" for Timespinner 2! Come check out the code and art :D

Oh, I hadn't thought about that! So many single craft-specific armors that can be used now! :O
