I used Photoshop! It's just four frames of the duck smooshed together to varying degrees.

I think it's because reddit makes the gif (with transparent background) into a reddit-video?
The duck is really a gif with a transparent background, here's the gif :)

I'm strangely touched that you recognized my duck from my duck-game-trailer. Thank you for your encouragement and kindness ❤️🥲
Here's happy-duck as a bonus

If you want to make games you can! For people with aesthetic skills, like you, I think it opens up for so much crazy creativity (because it's your art and whatever interactivity you decide to add to it). That's why I myself got hooked once I tried game developing.
I started tinkering/trying/self-learning like ~3 years ago. Unity (the game engine I'm using to build) is free and there are so many cute/small (all the way up to advanced) tutorials on youtube.

Just wanted to encourage you and tell you that whatever you would make would be needed in the gamedev-field! Your perspective is unique and would be such an asset for sure!

Thank you so much for you kind words! 💖 :) Keep up being amazing! I'm cheering for all your endevours

This is giving me the nicest vintage, 90ies vibes. Wonderful work! <3

I asked AI to re-imagine The Prequels with muppets. Here are the results by [deleted] in PrequelMemes

Yes, I spent way too long on this haha.

I used https://www.craiyon.com/. I's amazing and also sometimes hilariously produces nightmare material. For instance, this was one if its tries at making padme into a muppet lol.

Worked for months in Unity to make a game about a territorial duck because I think they're hilarious. by Gnodima in Unity2D

This article made me snort, just the title alone "The Vicious Duck That Beats the Crap Out of Anything That Moves" is amazing! haha

Thank you for the idea and for sharing

I'm making it in Unity which has fantastic tools and support for porting and shipping to different devices, so Switch is definitely something I'm thinking about!

I just want to say you can always also make a game like this! <3

They're just ideas mashed together, and the ideas aren't mine. I'm also building upon many cool ideas I've seen from countless others (Binding of Isaac, Vampire Survivors, Untitled Goose Game, Stray, Cat Tails, Animal Crossing, 20 seconds to Dawn etc.).

Execution I think makes pieces different. Even if you made a game about quacking ducks building bases and chasing away visitors your piece would be entirely different than mine I think in the end (sound, art, details in mechanics, UI etc). :) And even if they would end up being very similar, then we'd have two cute duck-building-games! Win win really.

And I'm sure what you'd like to make and your ideas diverge from this. Maybe you wouldn't want a duck but maybe something else, like a racoon for example. Then maybe instead of chasing away the racoon approaches people and is a thief and takes their belongings. And maybe it's building a trash-castle instead of a pond. Just a little twist in concept pushes it in an completely different conceptual direction.

So I just want to encourage you! I wasn't the first with any of the ideas that are going into this Territorial Duck game, and if you want to make a game with these bullet heaven + building mechanics go for it! Don't let that stop you! :) <3

Cheering for you!
