Finally found a surfing game that actually respects the craft 🏄‍♂️

Surfers Code by solo dev E Marx is pure physics-based simulation. Every wave different, every session earned. You start wiping out constantly, then slowly learn to read water and carve clean lines.

Between surf sessions, explore a tropical island and meet locals. It's the whole culture, not just the sport.

saw this thingy trending, wanna join. am nervous lol.

am a beginner digital artist (bc drawing only for two years in sum, before used fine arts mediums for a year), solo gamedev (very slow as 'tis just a hobby).

i mainly draw fanart of old games n books, my original characters, gifts for ppl.
am also strongly all things about freedom n all-human rights n stuff, basically am radical anarchist, so i obviously rise these topics in my digital content.

my point on art is that it has no rules n is one of the most subjective things out there so should never be restricted in any ways, 'tis a form of feeling and thinking and expressing oneself.

attached artworks are a WIP of HoMM3 fanart, finished HoMM3 fanart, concept art for my own games (that's a whole setting w lost of mini games planned), unfinished 'meet the artist' sketch. my art can be found under #mastoart on my profile, but 'tis basically a blog w lots of rant n stuff so if u wanna follow just my art, i've Tumblr n am on Krita forum. on Tumblr i almost never post sketches n WIPs but i do occasionally upload them into my sketchbook thread on Krita forum.

Last week, I made a Jetpack Joyride clone for "20 Games Challenge". It lacks some elements (vfx, more coins, robots, etc.) for now. Other than that, what do you think I should include next?

Somewhat concept piece of one character from the setting who's also an NPC in a few of future games (which almost all take place in that setting). I've no idea in which games the guy's gonna appear yet but they're an important part of the story. I kinda wanna finish this sketchy piece one day, into something bigger than just a 30 min doodle lol.

Am aware my digital handwriting is arse, but I do it mostly for meself n 'tis not even a final concept for PDF guide lol so I decided to leave it all as is for now. Anyway the guy's not gonna appear in a few first games so am not in a hurry with them.

I dont get it how folks save their unsuccessful code to reuse later. If a piece of code didna succeed - I exterminate it. Bc how the heck am I supposed to reuse the thing I hate lol.

(Recently deleted lots of game scripts again bc didna like how imperfectly optimised it all was. Cant keep that shame even in the archives.)

Updated the demo for Turscar Isle: Irish localisation, some atmospheric changes, setting up for a harder no-gear level, and a hidden switch to activate Big Head Mode...nothing crazy...

Worrrking on the game… Just some WIPs for the sprite and part of griffin (one of the types) concept. I do not like this pose for idle sprite, looks more of just artwork, dunno. Just looks like a pixel artwork for a scene or smthn. Will experiment more, mb will finish it anyway but dunno fr. second time doing pixel art n 'tis no easy at all really.

If the griffin looks unwell/unhealthy - am happy, that’s the supposed look xD tried to use some features from those birds living near the water but I cant even remember their name (not seagulls, those bigger ones who usually have funny names) and sketched from memories so ofc will be fixing everything later. For now am happy I managed at least something today.
