feels like I'm just spinning my wheels, running in place

Players love making a mess, as I have been told by @byobattleship.bsky.social

I’m NOT excited and I’m NOT thrilled. I’m honestly scared to share this, but I’m not a coward. I have to show you what you helped us create. None of this would have been possible without your help, and we can’t finish it without your support www.launchgood.com/1948 youtu.be/D4qh1FAPEUo

y'all are spared from my video spam today by bluesky's video processor

truly I have reached new peaks of realism here

not to scale

I feel like steam should at least provide a dedicated space for early access games to provide a roadmap with progress if not require it outright.

Some players said the rats in my game were too cute so they didn't want to fight them. I think I found a solution:

and checkpoint for the day. sound, rough animation, tomorrow particles and refinement

that's a bit more like it

horrifying bug

more of the same, but this time it's actually hooked up

it's coming along, ever so slowly

These bouncy umbrellas feel a lot better now that it actually carries your momentum from jump to jump. Ah, the things you learn when you’re right at the end of development 🙃 #indiegame #gamedev

Picks him up and smooches his head

it's amazing how much stuff you can come up with to do that isn't making actual UI

Who likes Inventory Tetris!? ✋✋✋ #IndieDev #GameDev

I half want to try doing a developer commentary but I feel like it'd be 99% me laughing at my own jokes

Not looking forward to making the actual UI, but this is gonna be a good title screen

I have somehow managed to escape thinking about what other people think about mass effect for nearly 20 years and I aim to keep that steak going

h/t to @gord.games for giving me this particular brain worm

the game I was playing did a bullshit on me so I did some experimenting with the rigging system

Now to make a title screen... Next week

felt bad having two things happen on the same switch

graphic because it's a spoiler for a puzzle

kachunk

I have a sneaking suspicion the check-the-vanishing-point-to-detect-slop thing breaks down on photos shot with a wide angle lens and an off-center crop. It's cute, but in each image it's the least readily apparent thing wrong.

Like a dog without his bone Unlike a G without his chrome It's hard to imagine The homie dog in a Jag and he's checkin' for the checkered flagin'

I'm glad this is finally coming-together because it's been banging around my head for 6mo. Since having to get a dayjob for health-insurance, my progress has been limited to early-morning & weekend dev sessions. bsky.app/profile/litt...

there's so much room for expression with the drift

Here's the new Torment Hexus trailer. Because they SHOULD be afraid of us! Make sure to wishlist us on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3238420/...

drift playground making me a bit nostalgic for when this game was set on an asteroid

thanks past me for making this easy and efficient

I somehow forgot to port over tire tracks and paw prints when I redid the skeleton.

and that's the final bug sorted (for now) related to the paper plane

proof

welp

Love having nightmares about bugs in my game

Pronouncing EULA as if its first name is Leonhard

more drifting

revisiting drifting

regulation field goal

fixed so many darn bugs in this build, felt like a good time to share a full rez video

finally adding in the checkpoint activation animations @horstp8r.bsky.social made so many months ago

leaving notes for the playtesters

also added an auto-lock to the closest aimed (and active) fast travel target when you start the howl.

finally formalizing that the teapots are fast travel locations and general despawn events are handled by warping you back to the last safe location you've landed on
