Mojito celebrates too! (He's not dead in the first pic, just very fast asleep)

Again the same gif with the rest of the alt text

I've participated in the platformer jam #2 over the course of last week, was a lot of fun :) Also I always manage to find it stressful, even if I love it and have enough time. The game has a few levels, most of which are tutorial^^ itch.io/jam/platform... bananicorn.itch.io/dizzy

9 colored squares of differing colors, on top of which two ufo-looking things with a Circular shadow underneath, and a humanoid figure with two arms, but their triangular torso ends in a point. The figure is made up of simple shapes with flat colors. They have two dots for eyes and two flat eyebrows, but no mouth. Their head is otherwise a featureless sphere with no shading. Their torso is triangular with rounded corners and they have thin upper arms and thicker lower arms, ending in 3 sausage fingers each.

My dialogue editor can now also add the conditions for a dialogue to be the starting point of a conversation, a callback, and a function to transform the text before it's shown to the player, for random shenanigans, and I finally fixed zooming on mobile :) #indiedev #gamedev #cursed_existence

A website titled "NPC Test", with a gray box with beveled borders.
The box has a green dot at its top left side, and a green dot at its bottom left side, both to make connections with other dialogue boxes (input/output).
The fields are all empty, with light gray placeholder text in them, labelled as follows square brackets indicate the box starting/ending:
[Title]
[0]
[function (npc, player)
return]
[Dialogue here] (this box is substantially bigger than the others)
[function (dialogue_string)
return changed_dialogue_string]
[function (npc, player)
--callback logic here]
[response here]
and a button labelled "Add response" and in the bottom right corner, a small button with an x on it.

I fucking hate mosquitos. Drink my blood, whatever it's fine. BUT DON'T YOU FUCKING FLY PAST MY EAR EVERY TWO SECONDS, MAKING ME UNABLE TO SLEEP. Made with hatred in my heart. #animation #mosquito #bloodsucker #hate

Bananicorn@bananicorn· May 26

So, I feel like my Markov chain name generator is _kinda_ working as intended, but not quite :D (I think I need to take into account that names can't just end on whatever syllable) Oh, and my code for splitting up words into syllables is _certainly_ wrong, so maybe I should fix that first.

A plain gray textbox with the title, "Globulin" and text that reads:
"HI, my name is Globulin! Let me guess, your name is Dezachartelbertelis"

Below that is a singular answer option:

> That is not my name.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· May 10

Working on gamefeel and wanted a quick way to hold an animation at a specific frame... This is, if you didn't already guess, a failed attempt. #gamedev #indiedev #cursed_existence

Bananicorn@bananicorn· May 10

Hehehe, making node editors is fun :D Looking forward to how yours turns out :) And I can't just _not_ show you mine, haha^^

A gray rastered background with several gray boxes on top, connected together with green lines. Each box has (from top to bottom):
- A dotted line inside the box, which is clicked to move the box around
- A singular green circle from which incoming lines are connected, showing where the dialogue flows from
- A white single-line text field labeled "Title"
- A white multi-line text field labeled "Dialogue here"
from zero to three white multi-line text fields labeled "Response here"
- Each response field has a green circle at the side, where the outgoing lines connect
- A dark gray button labelled "Add response"
- A dark gray box with an X on it in the bottom right corner

On top of everything, there is a small gray box with the text "Export to", then a dropdown with "JSON" selected, and a button labelled "Download" next to it, all on a single line. It also has a dark gray box with an X on it in the bottom right corner.

May I introduce? The wrongwurm. I was refactoring and may have mixed up the lindwurm body sprites with those for the rain worm... I'm sorry it had to see the light of day at all, poor creature. #indiedev #indiegame #cursed_existencce

Time stands still. is written on blood-splotches in the top half of the image, and the bottom half shows a rain worm, but only its head is correct - the rest is that of a snake...

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Mar 9

Wheeeeee :D I guess the Lindwurm won't be quite _that_ long, but messing with this is much more fun than I'd imagined^^ Pretty happy with how this turned out, and now I kinda want to make more of these snake-y enemies... #indiedev #gamedev #cursed_existence

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Mar 4

Currently a very ugly caterpillar being pulled by a featherless chicken, the fearsome Lindwurm is taking shape! Here's to hoping that this'll be the thing I look back at, because it looks _better_ in the future^^ Trust the process, I guess? #gamedev #indiedev

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Feb 7

Greybox vs current version of my town's tavern! Currently this is probably the extent of my abilities with blender, but I'll get better :) I've also improved the general AI of my entities - now guards will help each other if you attack one of them :) Those fuckers. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

A 3d-rendering of a L-Shaped room, with grey boxes strewn around to act as placeholders for furniture. It has no windows and we look into it via the walls facing us and the roof being invisible.

A dimly lit taven in a simple isometric 3d style. It's a cutaway, where we don't see the front walls (only a small part at the bottom, would be about knee-high), so we can see the interior. The room is symmatrically L-Shaped. There are 4 visible windows letting in some light, and 4 banner-shaped wall hangers, which seem to be made of black-and white cow hide, placed between the windows. Right in the central corner of the room are two humanoid figures, standing on either side of the counter. Behind the barman there's a shelf with lots of bottles. There are 5 square tables placed around the bar, with 4 chairs each. One of the tables has the chairs on top of it, as is done when closing a place for the night.
Some tables have drinking glasses on them. One of them has pint glasses on it and a bottle lying down.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Jan 30

I found a style I like for the curse cards in my game! And it's not even insanely time-intensive :D This one's the card for "agression", roughly modeled after my chonky cat being threatening, haha^^ I think this'll look good on a card, and I can keep that style up :) #gamedev #indiedev

A rough black ink splotch, in the shape of a cat doing a... Katzenbuckel (cat back/hump) but without the legs.
The only real features it has are two white slits for the eyes and two pointy ears.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Jan 18

I need to brush up on my art skills again, and doing lil' animations seems a good way to do that^^ Not sure I'll be animating anything in-game as my skills just aren't there yet, but practice is practice :) (Also at least it loops on here, thank fuck) #animation #practice

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Jan 15

So I've got one that I don't know of anyone else who played it: T.O.U. (Tunnels of the Underworld) Was a blast to play with my brothers^^ Imagine worms, but with lil' spaceships flying around and in real-time with (I think) the possibility of a loooot of players.

A side-view of what looks like parts of a photo-realistic rock wall floating in a rocky cavern - in the middle there's explosions on the rocks and a little w-shaped spaceship.

Being chased through the woods by naked people was not on my gamedev checklist for today, yet here we are... (I forgot to pass in the equipment for the bandits when creating them)

A simple isometric 3D scene from a bit of a distance away. where the player character in full armor is being chased by a bunch of naked, bald people.
They all have (mostly full) health bars over them and are low detail enough that I don't have to declare this NSFW.
It's a photo of a screen taken with my phone, so it's all a bit blurry and has some motion blur.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Nov 6

Finally migrated all my repositories to my own server! But what on earth was I doing in this repo two years ago??? #indiedev #gamedev

A screenshot of the gogs-UI (looks a lot like github's UI), showing the root folder of a git project.
It's basically a table with the file/folder names on the left, then right next to each one a shortened hash, then the last commit message of that file, and at the very right, when the last commit was.

This is the whole text contained in the screenshot, verbatim:

Sorry, I should've led with an example^^ Oftentimes my scenes are rather empty, because it can be prototype leveldesigns and I need to keep things simple anyways^^ I wonder if I'm not focusing on details that don't matter, but there's usually not much to describe anyways^^

A simple isometric 3D scene, with small, differently armored humans scattered around.

Unremarkable dirt floor, with the only other objects being a mossy rock several humans high and wide, in the top center of the image and some vibrant green foliage from a tree in the bottom right.
The tree casts a dark shadow directly to the right of it.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Oct 19

I can now place custom humans into a level! These will be bandits (player character is in the middle), but I'll use the same system for friendly NPCs. #indiedev #gamedev #cursed_existence

An isometric scene, with a few humans standing around, a big mossy rock in the center top and some leafy trees in the bottom right.
The middle human is in full armor and the others are all in different states of armoredness.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Oct 14

THIS GUY IS SUPPOSED TO HELP ME THREAD THE NEEDLE, RIGHT??? I looked at this thing in my cheap sewing kit and only just realized, MY GOD.

A flat piece of red plastic, with a rounded "handle", and a diamond-shaped little wire loop, that is pointier at the front-end.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Oct 4

May I direct your attention to this shining beacon of good design? Unfortunately not my work^^ Should I mark this nsfw? #design #signage

A red sign saying "PULSANTE EMERGENZA", with a stylized button (three nested rectangles, really) and a stylized hand pressing them.
The hand itself can only be described as "dickfingers".
Imagine a u-shape, one side of it shorter. That is the thumb. A curved line separates the tip of the thumb from the rest of it, making it look like a penis.
The upper part of the u shape is the index finger.

Below the sign is a nicely desigend sticker for the 10th anniversary of a Tuningtreffen, but that is hardly relevant.

1/2 Hi! I'm a solo dev working on a roguelike action RPG called cursed_existence! I'm now starting to upgrade the basic-ass graphics I have, since it's all pre-rendered stuff, but I've got a lot to learn^^ The whole point of the game is that you only ever get de-buffs as you level up, but a lot of

An isometric 3D scene of a town square with a church, a tree and a L-Shaped building. The tree is between the church and the other building and to the top left of the tree there is a knight, wielding a ball mace. A road is running to the bottom right of the image, surrounding a well.

A simple 3D-Rendered forest scene is in the background of a Blood Splatter with "Choose your curse" written on it, in white, gothic lettering.
Overlapping it, to the bottom left are the ashen remnants of a the chosen curse card, being swept away by the wind.

A simple 3D-Rendered forest scene is in the background of a Blood Splatter with "Choose your curse" written on it, in white, gothic lettering.
Below it are three cards, two of them depicting a tortoise, and the middle one a broken heart, all of them in simple line-art.
Over the cards there is a text-box saying:
Midas' Greetings
Either turns one thing you wear on your body to gold, or might turn it all to gold, with all that entails.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Sep 7

@grimclownjay.bsky.social I wanted to polish this some more, maybe with a puff of smoke, but I have no Idea when my brain will let me work on that kinda stuff, so here's the CHEST CANNON! It's fun and goofy, even if a bit rough around the edges - not yet sure where it'll fit in the final game tho^^

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Sep 6

Fuck it, I'm fixing this shit tonight. This is just me debugging, but it shows the problem: When I combine my base sprite with weapons and armor, it still gets the skin color of the human. In this case blue, because it's easier to see. #indiedev #gamedev #cursed_existence

A simple 3D-Render of a town-square with a well in the middle, but overlayed on top of it in a grid are blue people in all kinds of poses and looking in all kinds of directions. Their skin and their armor are both dyed in a deep blue. (It's a spritesheet)

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Aug 25

Sigh. I'm not looking forward to this. Mostly dread fixing my messy export scripts, but I need to get this done, or I'll only have half game mecanics I want^^ #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

Cartoonish meme, where a person is trying to grab a yellow ball, but is snatched away by a pink creature, labelled as follows:
YelloweBall: Bows and other new weapons for my game

Pink Creature: Total rework of my animation system

The pink creature is pulling the person away from the ball

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Aug 21

@grimclownjay.bsky.social It's firmly planted on the list now ;) Imma do it before the bows, because it's pretty fun and shouldn't be too hard^^ And honestly, out-of-place things like the cars in AoE 1/2 were always my fav eastereggs :D #indiedev #gamedev

A screenshot of a notes app that reads like follows (the square brackets with Xs in them are items that are crossed off the list, hope it's not too bad for screenreader folks):

- [X] Spiked Mace
- [X] Dagger
- [X] Axe
- [X] Double-sided Axe
- [X] Falchion
- [ ] Warpick
- [ ] Pickaxe
- [ ] Flanged Mace
- [ ] Big Wooden Spoon
- [ ] Overly fantasy-ass sword(s)?

- [ ] Special weapons
- [ ] THE FUCKING CHEST CANNON
- triggered by action button?
- shoots a cannonball that explodes on impact (should be easy to render)

- [ ] Bow Weapons [0%] [0/4]
- [ ] Animation
- [ ] Longbow
- [ ] Short Bow
- [ ] Compound Bow

- [ ] Spells?
- [ ] Fireball
- [ ] Flamethrower
- [ ] Lightning (ball?)

(The last item is half cut off)

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Aug 11

Working on Armors! Pants are optional, hehe^^ This will also form the basis for most NPCs, since I can mix and match these armors a lot, and all of them have various materials they can be made of :) Happy to have something visual to show for once! #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

A 3D scene of 8 people in armor, surrounding one person in the middle. Some of them wear helmets, one of them wears a torso armor, but has no pants on. That same person has green skin.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Aug 2

Okay, so outdoor/indoor does make a difference, but sometimes not the way people think; My beautiful son, Mojito is cuddly and sweet indside,e the house but outside he'll just run away most of the time (if one can sneak up to him, he'll enjoy some pets) And ofc I'm paying the cat tax, too:

Mojito, the little black furry blob with two eyes and two ears peeking down, on top of a bunch of parquet flooring, stacked almost all the way up to the ceiling.
A little black paw is hanging over the edge of the parquet, and really only his head and part of his upper body is visible.
This picture shows him being an absolute little pest, and refusing to come down, after illegally gaining access.

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Aug 2

Torso armor ❌ Chest cannon ✅ I had to debug my rendering script to find out, I had the armor attached to the wrong bone in the source file... does this count for #ScreenshotSaturday? :D

A 3D Model of a gray, simplified human, wearing armored shoulder pads, hip armor, upper leg armor and the torso armor not properly on their body, but sticking out of their chest like a cannon:

Bananicorn@bananicorn· Jul 26

For ideas and notes I use an android app named "orgro", but honestly any text editor that can save to a folder on my phone would do. That folder is synced to a ftp server every hour, so I can restore stuff in the future (because I lost all my notes with my phone breaking before)
