This is what the heart is for. You have 4 hits before this bonus stage ends. The animation & size animates faster when the closer to death. Not done with this. Still need to make the points system after you die, control how many/fast they spawn and tidy other things up/test.

Well, for all you new followers in here, I'll do my level best to stay active on here as much as I can. Hopefully as positive as possible.

Okay! Finally at the point where I can show progress of what I've been doing. Making a new bonus stage type. Here's a vid of all 3 types. Warps 5 & 6 are 20 seconds each followed by Warp 11, the new one. It's not done yet, many things need fixing :> Was laughing so much making this new one xD

200 likes in over a day. Thank you guys so much.

Drawn by @phantomstudio.bsky.social Well, for those of you who are new here, here are some concepts of some of the other characters you get to play as. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #indieanime #characterdesign #DragonRevival #muscularwoman

One thing that I might give to the patrons on #Patreon is test builds of the game. Then give normies alpha, beta, and what-not builds once the game (and whatever other games I might make after this one) is stable enough. Kinda like AM2R's approach in test builds.

Some of you should know that I am largely making this game for myself and for people who are similar to me. What you're going to see is the unfiltered, uncensored vision of my worldview, including some views that might get me arrested by the FBI.

This was my most liked post on Bluesky. Thank you guys so much, even though some of you may be bots.

Drawn by @phantomstudio.bsky.social Well, for those of you who are new, here's Kaji’s concept art. It's going to get a small update once I have enough. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #indieanime #characterdesign #DragonRevival

Sheesh, everyone likes to see the sprites themselves and not the game, huh?

Drawn by Nuath on Discord. Jump animation is finally finished. Now to add it to the game. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart

It's Splash Bridge, one of the levels that will be available in the upcoming super-demo for Treasure Tech Land! A central hub for all sorts of eco-friendly power systems, you'll find many un-friendly individuals looking to greet you! #DOOM #UZDOOM

Sprites made by @maxcreed.bsky.social and Nuath on Discord. Here's the progress I've made. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Mina the Hollower is our biggest game yet! 🐭🕯️ 20-30 hours. Over 1,200 handcrafted screens. 17 areas. 28 bosses. 60 Trinkets. 5 weapons. 14 Sidearms. So many bones! We’re breaking down the numbers behind Tenebrous Isle! 🎮

Got some pretty good progress on the basic engine of the game. I'll post the progress tomorrow, and I'll post a behind-the-scenes scoop on the code on Patreon, too. This way, you'll learn a thing or two about game development.

We might end up getting a #screenshotsaturday after all.

lol going to make a guess that people will get a little irritated fighting the Warp 9 mini-boss in my game... No spoilers besides this vid almost done with warp 9 finally.

Amen to that.

I swear people piss me off sometimes.

Amen to that, Marth.

Honestly? Pizza, chips, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, and Tails.

Stingy ass customers...

Turns out I didn't break my mouse after all. I think I pressed the refresh button on accident while it fell.

Well, hell's bells. My mouse broke while I was working on the game...

It's been decided. A pixel artist named Nuath is now the sprite artist for the game. Here's his Instagram: www.instagram.com/nuath_pixels...

its starting to click now.

Finally added a sound test :D Background and jukebox sprite/text animate while music is playing but stops on the exact animation frame when you move around the menu.

#screenshotsaturday Okay I've made it so you can do this little salute by pressing down, or if you press R3 you can "chill". A key mechanic being that while chilling you can move your head around with the analog stick. #gamedev #metroidvania #solodev

friday, chillin' with the homie #gamedev #screenshotsaturday -ish 🎶 #metroidvania #solodev #art

Wow, first Japanese follower... Thanks for the follow. I'll do my best to be active on here.

Also, new version of ModOhExtraFun out (1.2!), with more stuff and whatnot, and fixes, yay. Geddit here > darsycho.itch.io/modohextrafu... #uzdoom #doom #Doommod #Modding #mod #lzdoom #gzdoom

Drawn by sharknob on Discord Erutika’s pistol has been updated. The size now resembles that of the Glock 40, and the bullets have been updated, too. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #indieanime #DragonRevival #weapon

Showing off what Warp 7 & 8 look like. Don't get trapped by the splitting asteroid on warp 7 like I did. (Just realized I need to grant points for killing the satellites on warp 8)

Hammer WIP 1, placeholder sprites and stufffff... #Doom #UZDoom #Doommodding

Changed the "hitbox" options. Never got any feedback from the demo if anyone preferred a specific one and I found myself using the line for testing. So I decided to change it to colored lines at the player's choice. (Need to make white brighter or remove it since gray looks mostly the same)

I don't know about you guys, but every time I see someone say "It looks like a PS2 game," I can't help but roll my eyes intensely. Like dude, at least tell me you've played a real PS2 game at least once, like, Jesus Christ.

I'm seriously thinking about switching sprite artists because Max's scheduling and communication skills are awful.

The most recent meme in your camera roll describes your current mental state.

#screenshotsaturday demonstrating weapon block system I made a while ago. Swords, with proper timing, can parry (big red flash) which allows instant counter attack. It's not an essential thing to do (generally) but is rewarding if you want to play that way. #gamedev #metroidvania #actionrpg

WIP! Still messing w the combat system. Few fixes to be made but I think it's already feeling pretty good. If you played Ghost Song, what's most singularly different here is the lack of contact damage. Only actual attacks do damage. #gamedev #art #metroidvania #actionrpg

Here's a longer clip at 60 fps of me beating up these robots. Weak enemies can be locked down and crowd controlled by repeatedly attacking. Note the successful parry of the second enemy from the left, allowing an instant counter attack. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #metroidvania #actionrpg

Very WIP! #screenshotsaturday This special move tentatively called Metal Storm comes from a piece of equipment and it lets you bounce around using your body as a weapon/surviving hazards. Think of it like a clumsy, bouncy screw attack. #gamedev #metroidvania #actionrpg

Abyssal Marine HUD rework. I like the idea of it more feeling like a vehicle. A good portion of this stuff is just for coolness but. idk if its tooo much? More i would like to do; enemy detection, sounds, glitching when hit(???). #doom #UZDoom #Doommodding

Redesigned the sword, and reworked the way stance scale charging works for all weapons, which uh took forever... still might need to find better sounds for the sword inspect animation. #doom #doommodding #UZDoom

Also shield, basically it increases your parry window and block radius. yea wip sprites too... #doom #UZDoom #Doommodding
