Ivory Lion Studio

Independent developer of artisanal arcade games

Currently turning my old prototype #PONGslaught into a full game

I set up a patreon to help fund development on my game.

I appreciate all who join me on this journey, it goes a long way

Still moving in shadow, getting things done.
The proprietary engine that will be the foundation of the game is being solidified, and the little details of the game design and assets has been established.

Experiments in SDF shader code is looking good too, will show more later.

@CrazyRetroGame1 Thanks!

like - is it okay to loosen movement constraints, and potentially cause motion sickness for players?

tired: yes, some don't get nauseous
wired: no, it hinders adoption
me, inspired: ok hear me out - horror game where looking at enemies makes you nauseous

Been working hard on getting things ready, fun stuff.

Twitter's algorithm changed recently apparently, let me know if you guys can see this.

Been working on developing a marketing plan for our game #PONGslaught, I'm quite pleased with some of the campaign ideas in the works.

I used to have the mentality of "marketing is my kryptonite, I'll find someone else to do it". No more, it's time to up my game.

[Thomas Feichtmeir @cyangmou]

Thank you for the nice words. The bulding turned out amazing. I am also really happy to work with you on our projects. 🫂

More art for my game #PONGslaught
Prop for the first map.

Will make a final pass later, looks good for now.

More progress.

Been having fun with this, it's crazy to see the difference between the new and old versions.

Same vibe of the old game, but with the fidelity it deserves.

Should be fun to animate.

The background art is still a very early WIP, but I wanted to a mockup to get a feel of the new art direction for #PONGslaught

I think it's looking pretty cool.

Showing an old screenshot of the prototype to give a side-by-side comparison.

Website's looking good now, business plan is complete, and I'm working out the details on hires for various positions that will be needed.

Getting the GDD (Game Design Doc) finished up now, will be needed for pitching the game.

Work on code continues too of course.
Stay tuned.

[Ivory Lion Studio @IvoryLionGames]

Been busy setting up the website, all the business stuff, and recently updating the PONGslaught logo.

It's even shinier.

Will post it soon.

[Ivory Lion Studio @IvoryLionGames]

Finally got the logo figured out.

Ivory Lion Studio lives!

Here's a current side-by-side comparison of the new BG and the old, required upscaling 4X by hand.

Still need to figure out how I'm coloring the sky with the new edit, and of course bring in the sigil behind the pharaoh's head

[Ivory Lion Studio @IvoryLionGames]

Been quiet, but I've been grinding.

Crossed the threshold now where backend code is finally being seen in use.

Also: been upscaling my old game art. Got the layers in for the BG, now for some parallax, shaders, and VFX magic 🪄✨

Making the 2D appear 3D is the fun part
