BWDev - on bsky

Most of you follow me for games, but music is a huge part of my life too - first new single in two years is out today, super pleased to be sharing it at last! More songs to come in the next few weeks 😎 open.spotify.com/album/3ZtgaWTU… #newmusic #indiemusic #folkmusic

@nirufekriarnold Appreciate it!

@bwdev1 From one stranger and UK game dev to another, I hope you're doing well, and take your time man - it's all looking great

@ninjakirby1969 Thank you 😊 This post is mostly to keep everyone up to date until I find the time to make the next video, so hopefully still more videos in the future!

@bwdev1 Great post. I loved the videos but im glad youre putting your health first

Alright, I’m outta here - I’ll be over on 🦋 instead

Update - was in hospital for 10 days but out now and recovering. Lungs still not 100% but hoping I can move on from this soon 🤞

Been in hospital last few days. Had bleeding in my lung that was giving me real trouble breathing. Got a drain in but not clear why the bleeding happened yet. Wish me luck, wanna be out of here soon 🍀

@YheekyGames Unfortunately I think twitter compressions wrecked the contrast in that image so it’s not representative any more 😭

@bwdev1 I like the grass artifacts on the right, but it still has less contrast than the old left image. The trees definitely stand out more in the left one. If that´s what you want to achieve - go for it. Nice style anyway! :)

A couple of things I want to solve with Lumbermill's art. It needs: - Better contrast - Consistent palette Been experimenting with the style on the right. Staring at it for too long and open to thoughts. Nothing set in stone but I think I like it 🤔 #gamedev #indie #pixelart

@kalobrien Sounds like a hell of a thing to go through but you got this, all the best Kal 🍀

Having another surgery Monday but to completely remove the nerves in my neck in my spine. Came out of nowhere 🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃

Arco has +150 reviews, 98% being positive ✨ Sadly, we are struggling to make people notice about the game itself, being considered already as a "hidden gem"💎 Our gameplay trailer shows how Arco works, and hopefully it will catch your eye 👀 A RT will help us A LOT🙏

✨ Farewell North is OUT NOW! ✨ After four years, I can't believe it's finally time to join Chesley and Cailey on their journey through the Scottish isles. Solve puzzles, herd animals, and restore colour to your human's world on PC, Mac, Switch and Xbox!

@KimeraRoyal Absolutely, and it’s always down to one or two words being slightly off - but getting a technical explanation right in a few sentences while keeping viewers engaged is tricky

@bwdev1 the secret is that even if you got it perfect you would still get pedantic comments from people who are either wrong or very opinionated

It’s nice to be making videos again, but I really didn’t miss pedantic comments - Remind me to get my next script proofread by John Carmack 🫠
