#gamdev

Happy 2026! Here’s my first painting of the year: location visdev for my personal gamedev project, The Wishing Stone! This is Dalterra, the main setting for the story. 🐉

I’ve been keeping a lot of my TWS work under wraps but I need to update my visdev portfolio with non-NDA work, of which I have a LOT (animation and game studios…please hire me? Cough 😅)

I also need to design a few things for this project of mine, so expect to see a few more TWS posts over the coming weeks.

My main goal for this piece was to work out the design elements of the city, as well as the colors and general location. I also had fun working out shape language for the trees and rocks. I’ll use this as inspiration later for the game’s pixel art.

It's a helltaker clone, go play if youd like!

the dawn of the final day.

TOMMOROW!!! or TONIGHT!!!

whatever 15 hours is for you!!

This is the result of a sprite anatomy study for my horse herd game WildHerds! Dev Snippet: The initial horse sketch leaned heavily into a stylized, leggy form that felt expressive but didn’t quite align with the grounded realism I wanted. The body shape, leg length, and face eyes need to be reworked. After sharing the sketch with other artists and receiving some thoughtful feedback, I took a step back and reworked the base using a more structured approach.

GAAA, almost forgot to start crossposting here.

The October vibes are HITTIN, so I'm going to try daily posting my gamedev shenanigans again. Let's see if I can keep it up for the rest of the year. Please bear with me this first week as I finish making my programming language. 😅

So the programming language I'm working on is named "SillyScript". It's intended for scripting scenes in my games by generating JSON that the game interprets. It's technically more of a markup-language disguised as a traditional coding language.

You define common JSON structures using "def" that can then be repeated. Each scope represents either an array or dictionary based on whether the entries are labeled. So "lines of code" equate to array entries.
