Hey there! I go by Nat on the internet.
I spent the last decade building games with zero playtesting or release schedules. Now I'm making and releasing one tiny tiny TINY game every day and helping others do the same.

game #13 came from a friend while we were cooking a bit drunk: imagine if the shaker's lid came off and salt dominated our rice bowls. shaking was really hard to make fun. my wife playtested it, and i think it's passably enjoyable for 30 seconds.

for game #12, i added a customer serving motif so you can work out what's best without being told. the customer loves it, but the boss doesn't. i'm also exploring the cartoon side of soundly, and the sfx trend quite whimsical.

for game #10, my wife and i recorded ourselves doing the handshake moves, then i traced over the hands frame by frame to animate them. it took way too long to draw the hands 🙈

for game #9, i was inspired by "smart" kettles, which make you work so hard to get the most simple task done.
as always, the sound effects make it 🫖

for game #8 i tried one of those switch-flipping phone games. it's funny how quickly it balloons into chaos, even though the last level takes four moves.. it reminds me of learning a rubik's cube.
huh, i wonder if you could teach that through a game like this. 🤔

The conundrum with particle fx in pixel art is you either get interesting variations or pixel perfect. You can choose from mismatched pixel sizes, zero variation, or rotated pixels.
Here are the three approaches, each with something new to tolerate.

Experimenting with the growth and contraction of mycelium. This spongey fungus provides fertile ground for "buildings" called Blooms.
We're trying to find a balance of visual clarity without overcomplicating the border algorithm. Has anyone done anything like this before?

Didn't get our metamorphosis feature done today for a #ScreenshotSaturday.
But I did:
- learn a little more of how not to do it
- chat with some cool devs on bsky
- install a youtube blocker
- sink a few hours into my pixel skills
- maybe reach a fellow dev going through it too
We got this 👊

When you hit a lull in your productivity, what brings you back into focus?
I took a few weeks away from the constant social posting and it's weird how daunting it to feels to hit post again.
