Dev log 19: tightened the themes up in the pastel-y game. (My placeholder name for it is Timekeeper.) Was nice to write on call with friends!
Dev Log 18: hello! Back from my unplanned break. Had a family emergency. But feeling energized now! Worked on a mood board for visual direction for marketing art with my teammate today. Was fun to hang out. :-)
Dev Log 16: Redrawing and coloring my sprites to match my new UI colors! I didn’t make good progress. I noticed that I feel sad whenever I don’t make good progress and take a long time. Hard to balance working quickly and being satisfied with results.
Dev Log 15: Finished tweaking the UI! Now on to finalizing the sprite art style. Started redrawing Timekeeper, the protagonist, today.
Dev Log 13+14: went to Kinokuniya to find graphic design reference and then re-designed the UI! Much happier with the new direction.
Dev Log 11: work is really wearing me down so I didn’t manage to get much game dev done. I did find a book on story telling by the Jojo artist. His takes are unique. Would recommend. amazon.com/Manga-Theory-Prac…
