Never made a game before, but decided to give it a shot on Playdate! It’s going to star our dog, and it’s a surprise for her mom. Working on artwork now.

More images.

It’s going to be a game with a collection of mini games that cover different aspects of our dog’s life/personality. So far, I’m thinking a zoomies race course in our backyard (steer with crank), a balancing game (balance with crank), and maybe a walk simulator and a dress up game.

I’ve never tried working with 1-bit graphics before. I have experience with rudimentary digital artwork (I used to do a webcomic, but not much to look at), but 1-bit art is much different.

I find that when you’re moving around changing one pixel at a time, you often get to a point where it either looks perfect or doesn’t quite look right, and you just need to keep flipping pixels until it looks perfect. It’s a very rewarding experience.

Hoping to have it done by Christmas.
