Indie Game Devs and Indie Gamers:

Brazil’s indie industry needs broader support and less bureaucracy.

My take on Brazil’s games legal framework and why we need to go further:

但说真的，什么东西真的有道理呢？

别太认真。 :)

At some point, I will probably decide that pizza is absolutely necessary.

Then I will eat a hamburger. Or bread. Possibly stuffed bread.

For about five minutes, this will seem like a very important development.

Then I will go back to work.

それが良いものになるかどうかは、まだ分かりません。
でも少なくとも、私たちはこのゲームを作ることを楽しんでいます。

こうして制作を続けられることは、大きな喜びであり、光栄なことであり、そして幸運なことでもあります。
もしかすると、良い精霊たちが少しだけ力を貸してくれているのかもしれません。

まあ、そういう気分の話ですが。
でも、お茶ならいつでもあります。

By doing pixel art,
every project is important.

Every piece is an opportunity to bring new stuff into life, mine or one created for a client and its ideas.

Let’s keep working.
See what the day brings.

One piece at a time.

Today is an important day.

We’ve been doing one last round of testing, polishing, and finishing up parts of the game.

Still a lot of small things to polish: pixel art, VFX, tilesets, scenery props, and UI.

🙂 🧵

#dmpac #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #danmafra #pixelart #steam #gamedevbr

At this very hour,
We're working on the creative decisions and those pretty cool little things that make the game look good: the small details.

And some... other stuff.

It's important to get everything right.
Even though the game itself isn't exactly right in the head...

Looking for a slice of cheese.
Hope I find a good one for him. Or them.

News soon.
More stuff later today.

Indie game folks,
I need some recommendations! 👀

We’ve got a new pixel art game coming soon, with a demo planned for this week.

Looking for creators, curators, streamers, YouTubers & indie press.

Who should I reach out to?

#DemoMonday 👀

We've been quietly working on a game.

I should finally show a bit this week.
Maybe more next Monday.

Pixels everywhere! 👀

Whimsical code, fancy sounds, and a char who just wanted a slice of cheese. 🧀

A cool mess. ✨

#indiegame #gamedev #danmafra #dmpac #pixelart #gamedevbr

It may sound complicated, but actually... it’s just work.

It’s about the details. And making the details work.

News soon.
Very soon.

Really, soon.

#pixelart #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #dmpac #danmafra #trueindie

It goes beyond pixel art, art direction, or simply making things look good. It’s about structure, consistency, and making sure every part supports the core idea.

Tough Sunday. Bright Monday ahead.

We keep working on the game production, mostly UI/UX and polishing.

Temple of the Dog.
Say Hello 2 Heaven.

Good song.
Great lyrics.

Brazilian politics, or any politics?
Not interested.

My heart and mind are in pixel art and games.
The rest is all the same.

And all the rest.

Early morning.

Another pixel art round.

Prayer (it's Sunday). Good cheese, good French bread, black coffee.

And lots of pixel art.

A long day of pixel art for the game.
The Game.

Some gags and terrible jokes. Coffee-powered jokes.

Indeed.

Late Saturday night.
The work goes on.

I love pixel art and design, especially when they meet in UI.

Looking at the game’s UI, I wonder: does this reflect what I want, or what people expect?

Risk and authorship versus safety and predictability.

#gamedev #indiegame #dmpac #danmafra #pixelart #UI

When making a game, as a pixel artist, polish matters a lot.

Care for the art and little details is crucial.
A lot still slips past me.

But you have to keep trying.
Like chasing a chicken around the coop.

Maybe you get an egg.
Luck is luck.

#danmafra #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegames #gamedevbr

Making a game is one of the coolest things you can do.

It's also pretty complex.

Like fishing at the edge of the abyss.

Whatever that means.

No.

It actually means a lot.

News next week.

Maybe sooner.
