Finally added the companion Sahar to the game. One of her many abilities is that she turns into the sword that you use to fight off the evil Jinn. ⚔️👿 #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

We 3D modeled and animated Sahar and added her to the game! Feels so nice seeing her alive and moving in-game!! Special thanks to @pluvias.bsky.social for designing her, @mobey3d.bsky.social for 3D modeling her, and @s4bishii.bsky.social for animating her #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

We finally finished designing and adding the original sword and weapon of the game! I'll be sharing the story behind the sword in a future tweet Thank you @pluvias.bsky.social for the awesome sword design and @mobey3d.bsky.social for the amazing 3D model! #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

New version of The Models Resource just dropped adding an awesome 3D model viewer right into the website so you can now preview models without needing to download them!

Decided to add a shortcuts menu for quick access to selected items and magic abilities #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

Focusing on making it first and polishing later has been an invaluable lesson to move forward faster, instead of taking forever overthinking everything

I've been working on a #KingdomHearts -inspired game for over 3 years now. It's been a ton of fun making my first solo game based off my favorite game franchise! ❤️ #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

Was feeling nostalgic about PlayStation 2 save files, so I made one for my game in the style of the Kingdom Hearts save file 3D model

Which feels better 🔥 Fire or 🧊 Ice magic projectile? #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

Had a funny bug where I accidentally allowed the tornado magic to suck up everything including NPCs, props, and ducks 🤣

Finally added flying enemies to my game which gives more purpose to aerial combat and increases the game's verticality #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

Adding flying enemies to my game was really challenging and was not straightforward at all! #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

I still think this style of "reflections" in video games is the best looking

Added a shake effect to the HP bar when getting hit to further enhance the feeling of taking damage Thanks to @tamerkoh.bsky.social for the suggestion! #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

3 years of gamedev in 1 minute.. #InideDev #GameDev #LuminousNights

my indie game for 15 seconds

Added a difficulty and warrior type selection screen to let you customize your playstyle! #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

The PlayStation 2 Era of games is the biggest inspiration for my game Luminous Nights! But why is that? #IndieDev | #GameDev | #PlayStation

Finally added a proper Level up system with proper stats and abilities progressing! #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

Realized that I also needed a "zoom region" system Makes small and tight spaces look much better #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

Made the character rotate smoothly when changing directions, feels so much better #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

Added a bouncy ball to help me test the aerial combat Also really fun just to play around with XD #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

Finally reached 10,000 wishlists on Steam for my game #LuminousNights #IndieDev | #GameDev

Added a "Quick Menu, "which is my take on the command menu for using potions and magic abilities! #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

I've been working on a #KingdomHearts -inspired game for over 1000 days! #IndieDev | #GameDev | #LuminousNights

Finally added a game over screen #IndieDev | #GameDev | #HeartsLike | #LuminousNights

how it started vs how it's going

Finally added the ability to change your equipped sword, armor, accessories and potions #IndieDev | #GameDev | #HeartsLike | #LuminousNights
