This animation was inspired by a little zine I sketched out. I liked it so much, that I decided to turn it into a pixel art animation!
For my dear friend in G/\za đ. No matter what happens to her or myself, I am forever grateful to be under the same stars as her, all these miles and oceans apart. Besan's GFM link @bisanalbalawi18

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
And an audio version here via my podcast "Bloomzeye Studio Chats": https://open.spotify.com/episode/4hgGc3duCFmRzXVUMnZlbM?si=db5dLS7-TNiZFXk0U2lOBw&dl_branch=1
I know I sound all markety and I just started this account, but I'm excited to share this!
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.
