A small look on how the parallax fake-3d backgrounds work in my game Islets. Essentially everything moves with the camera (but just slower) in order to add fake depth. #gamedev #indiedev #metroidvania

Made a tiny tutorial on how I make waterfalls in Islets. I have a couple methods but this one looks the best imo #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames

Woke up to see Crypt Custodian passed 100 reviews!! So happy about that, and it's at 97% positive which is way better than I hoped for. Working on the first patch now, no critical bugs have been found so I might take a few days on it. Thanks so much again for the great launch!
