Here’s another WIP shot of the big tree level in my game Dino Cleanup for #screenshotsaturday

🌳🦕 Almost done reworking a big level for the upcoming Steam demo of my game, Dino Cleanup. I liked the spinning camera in the new hub and thought it would be cool to make a level rotating around a giant tree. What do you think so far?

Still hard at work adding lots of cool new stuff for the upcoming demo build. Always feels weird to spend a week making a minute's worth of cutscenes but thaaat's gamedev hahaha
Can't wait to show more, back to my cave for a little while longer

I'm currently working on a total revamp of the hub in my game, Dino Cleanup. The game usually has a fixed camera angle, but I thought it would be really cool if the hub was built like a wheel and the camera rotated around the central Tree. What do you think?

Do you like Super Mario Sunshine? I’m making a cleaning 3D platformer heavily inspired by it, with a dash of Paper Mario and other GameCube / N64 era influences! It’s called Dino Cleanup, wishlist it on Steam!

And that marks the end of the second Dino Cleanup playtest! Thank you so so much to everyone that played, I truly appreciate it! I think this playtest went really well, I hope to release the demo sometime soon™️! If you had fun, please remember to wishlist and spread the word!

I added little dinosaur villages to the main hub of my game, Dino Cleanup. At the start of the game, they're scattered across the world by the flood of goop. As you clean levels, you rescue them and they come back to the hub!

After many requests, I finally figured out how to get the ground shadow working in the water levels in my game. Now you can see exactly where you're gonna land! You can try it out RIGHT NOW until July 29th by checking out the Dino Cleanup public playtest on Steam!

I played this b/c the dev was at Ai-kon and omg I'm rly excited for the full thing. my fate was sealed as soon as you gain control of the cute dinosaur at the beginning of the game and you can kind of knock over the lounge chair you were just on lmao

such a small thing but it charmed me immensely
The second public playtest of Dino Cleanup is live! Check out this early look (and new updates from last time) for ONE FULL WEEK from July 22-29 12pm CDT!

I played the Dino Cleanup demo! 🦖 🧹
It's a really fun, cozy platformer with a truly satisfying cleaning mechanic!
It's basically a really good Super Dino Sunshine, haha!
Go add it to your wishlist right now!
So much awesome stuff shown at the Nintendo Direct! I’d love my game to be shown there one day. Do you think it would be a good fit for the Nintendo Switch?

Want to play Dino Cleanup in person? Come on down to the @aikonwinnipeg.bsky.social anime convention tomorrow! Come and say hi, check out the game, and get a free sticker!

I’ll be there from 5pm-10pm Friday the 17th.

I've been hard at work cleaning things up for the playtest next week. Here's a quick before and after for the aiming indicator! That white arrow was meant to be placeholder but I kept it for so long lol, farewell soldier 🫡🥲
What do you think of the new aiming graphic?

🦖💨 Gotta go fast! For the next Dino Cleanup playtest, I've added a timer for how long it takes you to fully clean levels! You can toggle showing the timer while the level is going (default is off to keep things chill). I think it'll add some fun replay value, what do you think?

🦋🦖 Little #gamedev update on Dino Cleanup. I changed the golden dragonflies you collect for hats to be butterflies instead. I think they stand out better!
I wonder how many butterflies a Steam Machine would cost? 🤔

OMG Dino Cleanup just got over 2000 wishlists on Steam!

When I got laid off and focused on gamedev I could only dream that I would reach this milestone. I know I still have a lot more to go, but I'm already so blown away by your support, thank you so so much! ❤️🦖🥺

If you liked the Wholesome Direct then I think you’d love my game Dino Cleanup! It’s a non-violent cleaning platformer where you save dinosaurs that become your friends. There’s tons of hats to unlock, and accessibility options for players of all skill levels!

@guildwars2.com came out at a formative time for me and inspired me to pursue computer science, and now game development. I'm super excited for the Guild Wars 3 announcement, the team at Arenanet are true innovators in online gaming, can't wait to hear more about it!

Hi #PitchYaGame!

🦖🧼Dino Cleanup is a wholesome “clean-a-thon” platformer where you play as a cute little dinosaur with a vacuum cleaner saving a world that has been covered in toxic goop.

It’s like Mario Sunshine with a vacuum and a Paper Mario art style, plus dinosaurs!
