🧵 @KingdomIsland was my first "wouldn't it be cool to design a game" game. It came to me as a request to help with concept art. I had never made game art, at the time I  was in creating digital illustrations and some 3D work. The idea of learning something new really drew me in!

@Madzom8ie I'm still here, CP name was Qazarpenguin. Was more active in the CP community when it first started back in miniclip days. Been here on Twitter about a decade, just following new worlds and working on my own.

@TryFrogParadise Clearly a horse. 🤣

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

@ryanconnollyart Yes there we go! Missing some dust poofs though, he has to feel like he's connecting with the ground. Still looks like he glides

Here is the current version we've tested. There will still be swarms of the little robots in the new updated version, but you'll now have lava to worry about.

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

We've been pretty busy testing the updates to @KingdomIsland with some of our players. While the patches come in, I thought I'd share the progress on the volcano battle update. For contrast, see the video inof the current setup that we've tested with our group in the next comment

@ryanconnollyart I like it without the cape. Couldn't see the full mech

We'll be selecting a small group of initial testers for the core game loop. This group will grow as we gain valuable feedback and bring on more feedback loops from all kinds of gaming genres. If you'd like to be part of this, please DM @KingdomIsland

@ryanconnollyart Can't help but ask, were you inspired?

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

@_screenhog There also seems to be a difference in how you position it. Zither will lay flat while autoharp I guess is played like this? https://t.co/4pMUuTOdFX

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

@_screenhog At first I thought this was like those online guitar chord attachments that push the chords with a button. Seems the zither is a more versatile instrument capable of both melody and harmony. I think the same can be true for an autoharp, but the sound is more folky.

@ryanconnollyart @MelonMunkyyy I have no doubt it'll be awesome

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

@ryanconnollyart @MelonMunkyyy Misleading, but yes.

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

@ryanconnollyart @MelonMunkyyy Yea like a previz. It looked great

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

@ryanconnollyart @MelonMunkyyy Oh so none of that was playable?

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

@ryanconnollyart @MelonMunkyyy Wait, what did we see the other day then?

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

@ryanconnollyart Thanks! I had fun with the characters. Decided to work on toonkins instead.

[Alex Ronay @Alex_Ronay]

@ryanconnollyart I hear ya. This is one I worked on in Unity, but it was 3D.
