The save/load system should be fine but I will tests them often But I can now go to the next things: collisions and contextual menus I'll also start making the first maps, they should be relatively simple and small #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #motivationMonday #playdate #decay

I Accidentally Made My Indie Game Look WAY Better #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Such interesting artistic visual-crafts. The creations of artist @ma.mike.mg This artist transforms everyday objects into charming crank-powered animated sculptures that tell stories through motion and creativity. #art #handicrafts #papercrafts #creative #artistic

Got the save files working and a correct positioning for the player Tested on the actual machine, fps is acceptable. Not locked 50, but well above 30/40 Also, got a basic interaction menu, I'll see if I can generalise it #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #puroDunjon #decay

I fixed a bug & now access points can be used as the should Still curious & tempted to use them to stitch maps For now, larger maps should do Next, collisions, as I finally understood how it worked #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #screenshotSaturday #screenshotSunday #puroDujon

Currently reforging my prop system to be less generic, thus having to redo the map switching component Also, I defined the core gameplay along the lines of "what was your sentence, and what can will you do about it" #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #puroDunjon #screenshotSaturday

adding new skills to the skilltree and you can get ridiculously overpowered manual hits in #gamedev #indiegamedev #godotengine

I may have to consider a job that is far from where I live. I'm not deeply attached to the city I'm currently in, but having to move put a bit of psychological strain on me. If anything, it would be stupid to not do it. Still. Stay safe, keep your psych healty #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #brokedev

I'd be curious to see what graphics would look like with a CRT filter on the #playdate simulator The dithering would be interesting #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev

Switching map took some time: Setting a proper format editable in ogmo and usable in game The whole thing is a bit sudden, so maybe a quick transition could be interesting But at least, it seems to load & parse quickly, which is nice #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #puroDunjon

*.drawSampled() is nice but hard when you want to draw 2d using 3d position I may still use it somehow, but I'd rather have a good workflow with simpler, connected tilemaps and small dynamic elements/fx Ogmo is still fun to parse #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #puroDunjon

Playing with *.drawSampled(...), because it looks better, but still wary of the impact on fps Ogmo for ground tilemap & some tricks for props Also it'll be both a remake and a prequel I hope I can add gameplay/lore in a compact shell #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #puroDunjon

Sometimes, checking distances feel better than checking intersections #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #puroDunjon #screenshotSaturday #screenshotSunday

I hope I'll be able to do nice things with shadows #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #puroDunjon #screenshotSaturday

I'll try the mantra again, "make it before make it good" Working on the sequences flow first is kinda good for me I think I'll reuse most of the assets from the original one It's a remake, not a remaster tho #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate #screenshotSaturday #puroDunjon

What a great headline

When you realise that porting your old game may be so much quicker than making a new one #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

Exceptionally, a less incoherent rambling about my current project(s), spoiler: I still love the console Playdate Projects: The devil you know itch.io/blog/1127348... #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

#playdate keep crashing with bugs that won't appear in the simulator? I don't trust performances when testing in the simulator In fact, a real test should be on real hardware, obviously Starting to think I should port Puro Dunjon and put this project on pc #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev

Maybe a faster way for raycasting? Why not (irrational) But json export of twine data, means direct use in engine (pragmatic) #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

It's my birthday Play my game officialelectric.itch.io/ruin

When the job description say you must have strong liking to "vibe coding" #indiedev #solodev #brokedev

Porting the sequences of the 1st part to twine grant so much clarity to the branches I also made the end credits, so it can be done "once and for all" (what a joke): Fun to make Part 1 is the vertical slice I must complete before going any further #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

Making a horror game about being trapped in an endless airport and the only way to escape is to solve the code for the gates. #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

Back to square 1: Problem is akin to CAP theorem Data take too long to compute, you want to precompute Doing so, means having data too big/complex to use (lookup speed), thus competing against initial compute speed I won't even talk about size #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

After some tests, precomputed data will make some really fat files, the price for every outcomes 785% for the small 9x9 map 2650% for 16x16 I didn't check for 32x32, at 6Mo, it run below 10fps, why bother? Linking small maps could be fine tho #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

Thinking about all the data that can be precomputed (not on actual hardware) : visibility from each position and angle, from each cell Maybe bigger map can also be achieved Still need to write part 2 and adjust bits of part 1 #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

Which type of gamedev are you?

Grid based seems ok, even if there's fps drop to 30 upon moving/update Next: a cheap line of sight function to further reduce the number of cells to draw and maybe camera frustrum Still think it's the wrong way of doing it 🫠 Story part 2 is near #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

A (horrible) alternate reality, inspired by yesterday. #Cloudflare #Teletext #TeletextArt #Art

Today I talked (again) to the most obtuse person in the world, making me wish I could instead talk to ChatGPT (ngl) This person would have had a negative score during a Turing test Anyway, I wish I land a job quickly only to not speak to this job center person ever again #solodev #brokedev

When you write a grid based fps rendering system (ishaar) but it feel more complex than a static raycast one I may dedicate tomorrow to pure writing, to compensate #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

Rebuilding my profile! Hello bsky, I make small games, catering to my weird tastes #gamedev #indie

𝖇𝖚𝖗𝖆𝖈𝖔 𝖘𝖊𝖒 𝖋𝖎𝖒 #pixelart

My eyes are burning, but I did manage to write all of the 1st part Of course, it's only about what the player will (be able to) do, but still, that obstacle is no more If I can preserve that energy until the weekend, I may write it all in one go #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

Currently struggling to find the proper representation for a level Most of the available options are not adequate and the good ones seems out of reach I need to do more tests I'll do more writing on the script At least, getting some things done #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

Anyone like trains? A short moment in the release game like I promised. I am still working on it. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #SummitDriveGame

wishlist is here--> store.steampowered.com/app/3756370/... I've been having this song in my head FOR WEEKS but not being able to find it, but finally i know which one it is that has been playing over and over in my head!! 🌿🦊 #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiegame #indiegames #craft #game

Thanks for the degree of customisation available in ogmo I can pass data here and there, and it's a lot easier To ensure readability, the maps are pretty bare I added triggers to summon linear dialogue or switch to another map Next, more writing #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

Well, LDtk is full of a lot of nice features, but the import got me to... use ogmo and write both a simpler map and my own parser The result is underwhelming and I may move to another design for this part of the game Contraints driven driven, yup #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #solodev #playdate

Given that my ps5 is my de facto bloodborne box (can't be bothered to finish ff7 rebirth) and that lately I didn't play that much, I must say that the last reveals from #valve pushed me a bit more toward being mostly (only?) gaming on pc Still have to wait for the prices tho #solodev #steamMachine
