Day 53: 2025/09/24 - 9h

Got the Equip feature working with all control schemes & set the inventory up for saving & updating from in-game events I'll showcase later. Context menu position while closing broke & locks to 1st slot for some reason...

Day 52: 2025/09/22 - 10.5h

Polished up the move selectors, context menu navigating, & scroll features. Most notably, I've finally got mouse wheel scrolling & zipper dragging to work! It's all still a bit buggy, but a breakthrough all the same.

I'm sorry Sam that your burnout has been hard to recover from 😔 Continue to rest up well and take your time to heal! I'm looking forward to seeing your new work on Moonshell Island whenever you truly feel ready, there's no hurry. Don't rush it and take it a day at a time!

Both of these were really fun! Croak's showing a lot of promise and we managed to 100% Towerbolt! Good platformers, definitely give them a look!

Doing a Road Trip run to round out today now.

Added mouse control of the context menu & a custom cursor. Made control device switching in real time more intuitive. Items can be used & dropped. Beginnings of a notification system in the works!

One very late contribution to Pokemon day- a rare fan art of some of my favorite ghosty boys. Fingers crossed they don't human-ify the new starters >.>

Thank you all for the love on this one! It's an oldie but it's one of my favorite Zelda pixel art pieces I've done. I know it's been a bit since I've posted pixel art, I'd love to work and post more art when I can. Appreciate all my followers here for my pixel art, Towerbolt, and everything else!

Aw, these are cute! Love the bright palette and the expressions! I identify with the cat on the top left haha 😆

4 square cutouts from a larger piece:
1: a fuzzy cat sits on a ledge glaring from behind a curtain
2. a chubby cat demands some attention with a mere gaze
3. a lanky long-haired cat is furiously determined to claw a fluffy pillow no matter how stuck his claws get
4. a fluffy doodle doggo licks her chops and waits for the puppy-eyes payoff

Steam Next Fest is here, but tons of great demos aren’t in it.

Not in #SteamNextFest? Drop your Steam demo link + 1-sentence hook + a clip or screenshots.
