Graphics have typically been a secondary concern for me, but I think not having them hurts my world building for viewers, so I put some more time and effort into a first pass on visuals for level 5. Its not where I want it to be yet, but I'm happy with how it's coming out so far

I couldn't afford a Switch 2 so I modded the N64 Ocarina of Time to be more like a modern AAA game. It's fully voice-acted. It's a real and you can try it out now, link in the replies.

There's a quote I've read: "Action doesn't follow motivation, motivation follows action". I was getting depressed thinking about how much more I need to do for this game, and how hard it will be. The moment I decided on a course of action, immediately I felt motivated to go on. Game dev is crazy, I feel crazy for even having the audacity to attempt this. Here comes the next boss!

I realized I still needed a two level train, so I went ahead and created this. Its not perfect, but I feel like my art skills are definitely improving

The fact that Skyward Swords main theme is Zelda's lullaby backwards is the most epic freaking thing I've ever seen. Gives me chills when I think about that game. So good

Working on adding a little pizzazz to the dash mechanic in Blast Project. Which one do you think looks better? Speed lines? Dash dust? Or both? Im not sure...

I've been spending my evenings perfecting my art skills so I could create a portrait for Dr. Beam. After 2 weeks time, I finally got something workable, and scaling it down to the pixel art level hid my many flaws lol You can get the free demo at blastproject.dev!

I hate windows but I have to hold onto it to write music. So lately I've been stock piling ideas. I'll be making the switch back to the dark side soon to flesh out these ideas. Blast Project man..

Started work on level 5 for Blast Project. Going great so far! One of my favorite aspects of game dev is playing it and making it really fun to play through

Level 4 of Blast Project is functionally finished Took a little bit longer than I had hoped, mainly because I implemented the save system for the game. But its done Now I start work on level 5. Get the free demo at blastproject.dev #gaming #platformer #megaman
