Game Dev, making free action-adventure games in my spare time under the 'Dreamnoid' label (+ AAA dayjob)

[Dri @dreamnoid]

I released a new game! Silent Paradise is a free #metroidvania I made for #MetroidvaniaMonthJam #MetroidvaniaMonth22

Explore an abandoned submerged city to look for the missing inhabitants.

Legends of Aereven: Sleeping Azure is out!
It's a free action-adventure #indiegame inspired by 2D #zelda

Find your way through dungeons full of enemies and puzzles! Explore the many caves, towns and forests scattered across the islands!

I expect this place to get even worse soon, so I don't think I will remain active here. Please follow me on the other places instead!

Reminder for those on the 🦋 place

The dungeons in Aereven Advance were a bit too simple for my taste so I expanded every one of them for Sleeping Azure! Here's a winter garden in the middle of the Lunar Spire #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #zeldalike

@ChevyRay Most of my games (https://t.co/9NiBVkO9zC) use the same custom modular engine and I love talking about it

[Dri @dreamnoid]

I don't draw as much as I used to, but I really enjoy making character portraits for my games. Aereven Sleeping Azure will have a few, to flesh out some of the characters you meet on your journey! #gamedev #indiegame #zeldalike

Star Wars taught me that if the rebel orcas want to sink this cruise ship, they will first have to destroy the four shield generators built on top of it

[Dri @dreamnoid]

@mynameiswhm Oh, that's very nice. Some time ago I looked into developing on the go directly on the SteamDeck but that didn't really work out haha

[Dri @dreamnoid]

I love playtesting my games on the #SteamDeck, once they're close enough to completion. It's different enough from the computer to get a fresh look at the game and notice all the small issues I got used to during development. #gamedev #indiedev #ScreenshotSaturday

@BenjiGameDev That's smart. That way if Azaran ends up being the Worst Game Ever Made (no chance of that, but let's pretend) you can still say that was on purpose and ask people to stick around for your next project that's sure to be the Bast Games Ever Made

[Dri @dreamnoid]

Probably the biggest challenge with this port/remaster/remake/reimagining/whatever is the different aspect ratio between the GBA and standard 720p. It's way wider and I didn't want to end with lateral letterboxing, so I had to redo most of the rooms

Another comparison screenshot between the upcoming improved version of my #zeldalike and the original GBA #homebrew. PC on the left, #gameboyadvance on the right:

[Dri @dreamnoid]

I realized I never posted any screenshot of "Aereven: Sleeping Azure", the upcoming improved PC version of my GBA game "Aereven Advance". So here it is, a little side-by-side comparison. PC on the left, GBA on the right! #gbadev #gamedev

Apropos of nothing, here's a reminder I'm also on Bluesky: https://t.co/12sGyYhTT7

[Dri @dreamnoid]

I love the polish phase, when the major hurdles are behind you and the game gets visibly better every day, every hour even. Also the perfect time for fun last minute content additions!

Aereven Advance looking good on an Anbernic RG35XX! Beautiful photo: https://t.co/GOSsSRF7oo

Lots of great stuff in this version. I need to take the time to migrate soon.

[Ryan C. Gordon @icculus]

I can't believe I finally get to say this. SDL3 is officially ABI locked!

We will _add_ new things but not _change_ or _remove_ what's there, starting right now. Which means it's safe to start migrating your games to it, starting today!
