Via my game dev Twitter @bloomzeye that I forgot to share here đ : âHereâs a lilâ peek of whatâs in my â¨early access⨠blog post on Buy Me a Coffee, about my newest character design for the Devtober game jam, Leafette!â
[Image Description: On the left is a pen sketch of a character with a leaf for a head, wearing circle earrings. On the right is a pixel art drawing of the same character with a brown leaf for a head, wearing red earrings and a green sweater. END ID]

[ID: GIF of a pixel art styled bumble bee that is flying inside a bubble. The bee has a small green bag with a brown strip around its body. Surrounding the bee are pink flowers inside bubbles. The text above the bee in all caps is "First-Time Pixel Artist plus First Indie Game". Everything is on a yellow-hued, honeycomb patterned background. END ID]

Soooo I'm back on YouTube. This time I'm sharing my journey into game development, how I learned pixel art and animation, and how I created my first indie game, Bubble Bumble!
I also made a blog post version here: https://www.bloomzeyestudio.com/post/first-time-pixel-artist-and-first-indie-game-devlog-1

I know I sound all markety and I just started this account, but I'm excited to share this!
Via my personal art account! Post from a few weeks ago. The game it actually almost out, and the itch io page is up! https://bloomzeye.itch.io/bubble-bumble

I forgot the password for this account, so I was posting via my personal art account đ
My first indie game is almost ready on itch.io!
Again, not logging into my game dev tumblr (@bloomzeye) for reasons, but my first indie game, Bubble Bumble, is almost ready to play! Here's the itch io page for it: https://bloomzeye.itch.io/bubble-bumble
Ahhhhh! I have basically zero followers on this page, but I don't care! I've made a video game, something I never thought I could even do, and I'm happy about it!
Meet Kiwi!
Meet Kiwi, the smallest bee in her hive with a broken stinger. But, that doesn't stop Kiwi from gathering pollen for her hive, or collecting the best flowers to make a bouquet for her Queen Bee! Now...just...to get...outta this...bubble!
Kiwi is the main character for my debut indie mini-game*, Bubble Bumble. Iâm creating my art in Aseprite, a pixel art and animation program, and itâs been a wild learning curve.
*and I mean mini! This will be my first time designing and programming a game, so it will be basically a demo level.

...YES, I'VE MADE A VISUAL NOVEL!!! đ
Created this abomination a few months ago, maybe someone out there will enjoy it.
The adventure is settled in TES universum, yet has a strong Witcher-y feel to it (my second favourite fandom đ). I've probably drifted a little off-canon in favour of storytelling. Prior acquaintance with ANY lore is unnecessary, though.
The game has several endings, and not all the choices are obvious at the first glance.
Making visual novels is a drudgery - but also so much fun! I have a few more ideas up my sleeve, but first I gotta see what would be the market for that, heh.
Feedback would be much appreciated (:
I got the idea for this game from one metal song, wonder if someone could guess which. đ¤
