Hi there! I'm Roxy, and I'm creating a game! It's a top down action platformer about a cat who spins his tail and throws his shield to fend off foes! I have no financial backing besides what people give me on Patreon, so please check it out 🧡 https://patreon.com/lumi

It's not the newest keyboard so the samples sound lofi but that's perfect for me

Big question: can I record samples from my musical keyboard? Is that legal lmao

now I gotta go to sleep

I was sitting down watching doctor who but the urge to create was too strong so I'm back on the computer (also it was kinda boring, it was one of the matt smith specials)

so I decided to try to draw the square/triangle/sawtooth waves into Renoise and

yea got about the same result, I can create all kinds of electronic sounds this way I think

combining them with effects, this is real interesting

now I'm gonna try something else

I've been trying to find something with the colors and everything but I just haven't found it yet

Me: *this*
People: yea ok that's great

Me: it makes the game not look like shit
People: oh ok!!!

It's like when I was talking about how the game does an upscale multiplier to the first multiple above the game window resolution and then downsamples it to have some interpolation and no shimmering, at the cost of making it non-pixel perfect and smoothed but it's not noticeable

Almost everyone probably glazed right over that

People probably think I'm talking a lot about the graphics of the game but I think it's more interesting to people than if I talk about movement and button inputs and boring stuff like that

People like to see a pretty picture and go "ooh that's pretty"

I've actually considered a "Gameboy color playing old Gameboy games" approach, where background elements are all one kind of color scheme and interesting stuff is all some other color scheme

With more colors than the Gameboy of course, but it could be interesting

Next thing I gotta think about is harmonizing color palettes in my game

My idea is that I can use a shader to recolor Lance to match the mood of his environment, so he doesn't just stand out awfully

Who's been sleeping a lot (Roxy that's who, I've been real tired lately)
