Design & Code w/ Me Ep. 4 - Video Game Development • Creating a Cozy Pixel Art Game

[@fromlumi]

Ahhh the little mushroom following is adorable hahah this game gives me such happy vibes I can’t wait to play it!

[@monochroma3803]

Been watching a lot of game devlogs, people usually do shooters or platformers. But im glad that there's still people who are into making farming, cozy and life-sim games... Good luck with your project, get a lot of rest, dont get burnout 🍀

[@CrisTryingToBeProductive]

I can't thank you enough for helping me recovering the love for what I do, software development, by just simply inspired me to change my desk setup. You gave me a common ground for tech and coziness. Also it's pretty cool you're showing the making of you and your sister's game.

[@jessh1560]

I know you've probably already gotten this a lot but your videos are such an inspiration! I've been a woman in software development for over 5 years and I've always been too afraid to show my true self professionally, especially when often I'm the only woman on my team. Your style is comfy and feminine and professional, and you make your work look so cozy and fun (though I know it can't always be that way!). It's been a huge kickstart to me being more genuine at work. I've changed my iTerm and VSCode themes to better reflect my personality and I have no fear sharing my screen to my male coworkers. Love your videos so much! 💕 Can't wait to see where Wistful Orchids go next!

[@calblue8694]

So cool to see this come together! You're really an inspiration to me as a designer and engineer (and also to collaborate with my brother haha) Can't wait for the rest!

[@jiayee8434]

this is so interesting, I am in love with this series more and more! you made me aware of the amount of effort each game producer or developer put into making one game, even if it's one simple walking screen takes so much effort as well. this make me appreciate the games I played more!

[@ungracefullygracee]

Woww, soo cutee!! I love seeing the process of the game come to life! I really wanna play it after seeing the mushroom chase the cute little character! Haha. Cant wait to see your progress and play the game!! ☺️☺️

[@anthonylucero3578]

Honestly, the amount of hard work that both of you have been putting into this game looks so amazing! It’s really amazing to see the behind the scenes of all the chubby sprites and assets you’re creating and I can’t wait for this to finally release!

[@LauraJiang]

the little mushroom reminds me a lot of maplestory! loved playing that game when i was younger and the assets in this game look amazing! excited to continue along this journey and watch the game progress!

[@greynightingale]

I'd love to hear how this is coming along!

[@mystique_mitch98]

What a cute game ^^ I have been interested more in designing and coding these days and your Design & code videos helps a lot! Can't wait to see this game!

[@BiscuitGlaze]

This is a such an interesting process! I have worked with Unity and 3D models before but have not done anything with 2D objects nor pixel arts so I really enjoyed this video (makes me want to try it out myself!) And the artwork is so adorable as always! Thank you for sharing this.

[@AnonDev3]

what a lovely devlog. Cant help but feel relaxed after listening to this ha ha

[@creativeaf09]

You are so inspirational! I'm a developer and designer too and I love watching your videos while I work! I love your process, aesthetic and your a lovely person, I'm so excited for your game! Thank you 🤗💕

[@qqq9542]

Loving this series. Hope we get to see many episodes of your game making journey!

[@AndrewForeman88]

Oh this is completely lovely! The little characters really come to life and are so huggable! I want to see what happens when the cute little mushroom catches the cute little friend! I wonder will there be mushroom soup? Little character become ill? Both hug and trek away together?

[@kaylacupp2247]

This is so cute! It’s reminding me of Zelda: A Link To The Past. I love it!

[@ShanKates]

I love these code with me videos! You're such an inspiration to me. Ahh the mushroom is the cutest!

[@riaschulze2497]

[@napostrophen]

Love seeing creators with these big ultrawide monitor setups

[@UNKNWN96]

What an amazing video, this game looks comfy as heck and the mushroom is adorable 🍄 Not sure where you are in the process of working on this game but you should definitely consider making a steam page asap to get people to start wishlisting your game!

[@miafei]

Im always waiting 4 your video🥰

[@lol-q1v]

I am exiting! Where is the link for steam???

[@trashleykim]

Hi this is so cute and inspiring! I just wanted to mention that I think there’s support for pixel path generation that allows you to make paths without having to copy/paste all the edges of the path! Ive used Tiled a little before and it had a feature like that! Honestly don’t know what it’s called but seems like it would be useful!

[@tienhuytran5293]

can't wait to play your game !!!

[@Life-ht6xi]

its so adorable!

[@nathanbryant1134]

What amazing insight this was. Ugh, so tedious but insanely good work. The both of you. The pixel art looks adorable. How cool is that tablet! Also, is your setup getting even better?! Love it ✌️🏾

[@BlackMoon2015]

I think you helped me realize what I want to do in life! How did you get to where you are today?

[@shekinahcapiznon3621]

its sooo amazing!!

[@eshnd-1]

i think you can use online resources to make sprite sheets easier but i don’t know anything about pixel art but it might be worth looking into cuz a lot of my friends tell me it’s super annoying making them

[@iamskyiammoon]

[@kewlozer7979]

[@jadiha1120]

[@fshurendra]

[@diogodias_]

[@taylorwalters7770]

I love your art and the design of the game so far, I was wondering what pixel art drawing software you are using?

[@ELF_Productions]

just curious why she didnt work with multiple frames and tags in 1 document then export the sprite sheet? I see a lot of questions about what software was used so im guessing they are not familiar with Aseprite

[@gamingmhejz8410]

very inspiring.

[@royennev]

I would love to play this game so much!! Where to play? ☀️😎🙌

[@babyblue7361]
