Evening at the Weary Pilgrim Inn.

A GIF of a pixel art video game. Two groups of guests sit on benches around two tables in an inn with stone floors. One guest is taking a drink from a tankard. The lighting is dim, with candles on the tables illuminating the guests.

I didn't know how to represent the concept of humor in a simple silhouette icon, so I put a chicken on a donkey.

Working on the pause screen! Sometimes it feels that we will never stop adding tabs 😂 (You can spot some of Deceiver
art there too!)

Innkeep,

@saint11 That's a lot of UI work! Good job.

Giving the dialogue system a little polish.

Old / New

Some in-game dialogue. The text is black/dark brown on a parchment scroll background, making it more visible.

Innkeep, to devlog

Slowly working on Innkeep documentation. Made a visual reputation of the major thematic and stylistic influences. Really happy with the way the theme, narrative and world lore and integrated.

What makes a game a RPG? Ultima, Fallout, Diablo are, but Binding of Issac, Nuclear Throne are not (IMHO). Is Zelda? If you're playing a "RPG" what do you look for? What makes it a "RPG". Is it more than just collecting weapons and bumping stats? Most game have a form of this that I would not consider a RPG.

Innkeep,

@grumpygamer Really interesting topic. The CRPG addict had to offer a definition to base his project off of. I'm not sure I fully agree with it, but it's one way of defining it.

Innkeep,

@saint11 @ThreeOhFour

Thank you! It took a whole day to put together. >< I wanted to do something that would help me too for my future work. I reckon l'll be referring back to it a bunch in the future.

I'm need to make more salad this summer.

Innkeep,

@grumpygamer Nice. It's winter where I'm at but we've got some snowpeas and radishes coming up. Might plant a few potatoes as well.

Innkeep, to indiegames

Just spend a whole day writing an article on how to improve your pixel art, with concrete examples from the work of @ThreeOhFour. It's locked for Patreon supporters for a week, but I'll unlock it after that.

I know there are a lot of worse things going on in the world... but fuck leaf blowers.

Innkeep,

@grumpygamer Had some anxiety induced hearing sensitivity for months earlier this year. Leaf blowers were my mortal enemy.

Happy Father's Day. If you haven't played Return to Monkey Island, now would be a good day.

Innkeep,

@grumpygamer Looking forward to it. Still recovering from vision issues so I'm mostly keeping off pc gaming, but it's up on my list for sure. ><
