“If it bleeds, we can kill it!” A little detail from the Saga website I enjoyed making. A Predator reference tucked into our bit about predatory mobile apps. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Made these three little pixel fabric banners for some of Saga’s features. Also gave them a tiny breeze animation that kicks in every few seconds. Small detail, but I think it gives them a little more life. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev #Aseprite

Brian added an awesome tap feature to the task monsters. Now you can poke at your unfinished tasks. It’s pretty fun. #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev

Finally got the mobile version of the Saga website up and running! Still plenty to fuss with, but it’s in a place that feels ready enough to share. Take a scroll: sagatask.app #IndieDev #PixelArt #GameDev

Some color, item, and armor tests today. Nothing too crazy, just making stuff and figuring out how all these pieces might fit together. The goal is lots of ways to build out your character and lots of cool loot to earn for actually getting your tasks done. #PixelArt #Aseprite #IndieDev #GameDev

Wanted to show off some of the work the other half of Saga, Brian, has been doing! its officially up and running in TestFlight, so I can start showing some of the actual app testing. Nothing crazy here. Add a task, complete/slay it. But pretty damn cool seeing it all start to work! #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt #iOSDev

Another monster for ya. Got this little Cave Goblin’s idle animation working the other day, but wanted to share it today. Loving his blink and nose stretch. Slowly filling Saga with weird little guys. #PixelArt #Aseprite #PixelAnimation #characterdesignㅤ

Welcome to... 🦴🦴The Bone Zone! 🦴🦴 Got this little skeleton created, his idle animation working, anddd some colorways. I want to keep fussing with him, which probably means it’s time to move on. Anyway, some small Saga progress for today. #PixelArt #Aseprite #IndieDev

Working on Saga’s character creator and playing around with how the UI might look. I’ve been doing everything in Figma, but there has to be a better way to build pixel UI... right? Would love some recommendations! sagatask.app #PixelArt #Aseprite #IndieDev #GameDev #GameUI

Still tweaking this green boy, but he's coming along! I'd love to get his belly a bit more bouncy, but I can polish more later! sagatask.app #PixelArt #IndieDev #Aseprite #CharacterDesign

The first two task monsters I made for Saga, the lil goblin might be my favorite still. anyway... Made this layer breakdown ...so enjoy! 🤷‍♂️ sagatask.app #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev #CharacterDesign

Trying to wrap my head around the outfit system. I want lots of customization without all the items starting to look too similar. Mapping out arms, shoulders, and heads and seeing how much variety I can squeeze into a few pixels. 🤷‍♂️ #PixelArt #IndieDev #GameDev #CharacterDesign

Some tiny icon work today. Trying to make the inventory slots readable at both 8x8 and 16x16 pixels. sagatask.app #PixelArt #Aseprite #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArtGame

Working on a giant ogre. First pass (blue boi) came out way too small, so I’m going back in and making him bigger, chunkier, and adding some Shrek ears. sagatask.app #PixelArt #Aseprite #IndieDev #GameDev #MonsterDesign

Working on a little tap-and-whack interaction before treasure chests cough up the loot. sagatask.app #PixelArt #Aseprite #PixelAnimation #IndieDev #GameDev

Some early Saga character work. Trying to figure out how tiny I could make your avatar while still having room for facial expressions, clothing, & armor. Some of the first pixel art I made for the game! sagatask.app #PixelArt #figma #IndieDev #GameDev #CharacterDesign

Monster sketching today. Playing around with a bunch of different takes on this little gelatinous ghost guy. sagatask.app #PixelArt #Aseprite #IndieDev #GameDev #MonsterDesign

Working through one of the possible player characters for Saga. Lots still to figure out. Added some butterflies for emotional support. sagatask.app #PixelArt #Aseprite #PixelAnimation #IndieDev #GameDev

Worked on this little purple reaper today, one of the monsters your tasks can summon in Saga. Gave him a tiny idle animation while he waits around to be defeated. sagatask.app #PixelArt #Aseprite #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelAnimation

Made a bunch of new hairstyles for Saga's character creator today. Slowly building out all the ways you can make your adventurer your own. sagatask.app #PixelArt #Aseprite #IndieDev #GameDev
