Time for another edition of embarrass yourself speaking ancient Egyptian! Can you guess what these phrases might be? #Egyptology #ancientbluesky please no hints for the gamers. Only roasts on my transliteration will be accepted. 😳 #goingforthbyday #gamedev #indiedev

Going to morph this into a hand painted abilities menu. Its just too gorgeous. Have to somehow reference Bo @squidshock.bsky.social in #goingforthbyday, even though its a lily, not a lotus. #inspiration #photography #nature #beauty

If you make a #handdrawngame it really is "just" #pixelart isn't? #goingforthbyday #oc #indiegamedev

You could say we have the zoomies? E.g., we're afraid of the phantom camera add-on, so we made this instead. If you #godot, well, you #godot. #gamedev #solodev #egyptian #handdrawn #goingforthbyday *Not #fresco 😈

We just HAD too!

Down, down, down
and the flames went higher
and it burns, burns, burns
the Ring of Fire!

We're making a magical, living, breathing afterlife in #goingforthbyday based upon ancient Egyptian art history and the Book of the Dead. The Duat might not be what it seems. This painterly teaser shows just how powerful Thoth might be, omnipresent. #wishlistwednesday #gamedev #indiegames #art

How about a sneak peak into tomorrow's initial Player2 character design?

Help me name them, suggest in comments below! Please note: Set-Dev-Wrong is already taken. 🐈‍⬛ 😆 👇

Old Egyptian Museum today: the last hurrah.

TERRIBLE lighting and dirty displays, highly reflective glass. What is this, the Louvre? 🤬

I hope I can use the books directly in-game. 🤞 #gamedev #goingforthbyday

Very complicated StateMachine fixes = broken sneaking. See utter #gamedev 𝗥𝗔𝗚𝗘 at 17 sec. How can code run like this, make it make sense! #godot #madewithgodot #indie #gdscript #Bethesda 🤬🗯️ #goingforthbyday #screenshotsaturday why not?

When time has no meaning, eternity is shutting your eyes to dream and counting to one. Osireion in the flesh! #Egyptology #goingforthbyday

Our game's aesthetic based on: 1) painted papyrus 2) high environmental polish 3) hand drawn art AND 4) █████.

Teaser video: blossoming procedural papyrus shader #madewithgodot and pure #gdscript. All shadows are turned off, for clarity.

Refining Kha and Merit's lamp model from tomb TT8. Basic shape, fill colors and final painted base plate. The player will be able to break these types of items to enable stealthier movement or invite demons; at their own peril. #blender #gamedev #solodev #Egyptomania #goingforthbyday #metroidvania 🪔

Found these lovely little guys in the Temple of Seti I, round back, hang a right, after the pool. 😍

You will meet such a beast in #goingforthbyday, early in your journey. #gamedev

Recently added some anxiety-inducing juice to the player's stamina/fatigue bar. You may steal the gods' powers, but using them will still exhaust your frail human body; all choices matter. #madewithgodot #gamedev #goingforthbyday #metroidvania #arpg

Breaking news! Ancient #gamedev mayonnaise found in Egyptian solo #indiegame project. @alienmax.bsky.social, please tell the Egyptology archeologists to stop eating it. Its basically #Blender dust at this point. #b3d 🫙🤢💀 #wishlistwednesday #goingforthbyday

The #didgeridoo and conch aren't historically accurate for an Egyptian game in the afterlife, but I don't care; they sound awesome! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #sfx #goingforthbyday 🔊

11,119,778 pixels. 1.5MB. Game perimeter borders, as Egyptian wrappings spells, typically painted on mummies and on walls, such as the Tomb of Sennedjem. Senn's resting place is a big inspiration for our game's entire aesthetic. #egyptology #indiegamedev #madewithgodot #goingforthbyday #handdrawn

Just some stroke permutations, looks sorta cool but we've quite a way to go. Stay tuned! #painting with #godot #shader for #goingforthbyday, an #indiegame by a solo #gamedev

Player has on-demand, in real time, ancient time vs modern time, in the same location. This opens up all kinds of game play possibilities from locale traversal, attacks, to puzzles and more. ⏳👀
