I'll try to make a new prototype for you this week to get feedback and see if any bugs appear. The visuals have already changed quite a bit today; these probably aren't the final versions, but it's more pleasant to work on a cleaner design. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker

It's definitely going to be a sleepless night. My little dog isn't well, and the vet appointment isn't until 4:45 pm tomorrow. I'm going to take advantage of the time to get ahead with the programming for the game, keeping a close ear on her all night. As soon as they're unwell, I can't sleep...

Full night of coding done. Intense, but productive. I’m still focusing on building the playable skeleton of Noaryn first, room by room, before moving too deep into final visuals. Today I’m switching gears a little to practice and refine my vector art workflow for the game’s environments. #gamedev

And here she is, I present to you "Nea," Noaryn's future companion. She's keeping it simple for now, but she follows him everywhere and can talk to him if she wants to chat about the weather. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gamemaker

Noaryn will soon be joined, hopefully, by a certain Nea. I won't spoil the surprise because I have a lot of work to do since the idea only just took shape in my mind. I really liked Navi in ​​zelda, what about you ? #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #indiegame #zelda

Okay, Linux is booting up, GameMaker too. It allocated me 16 mb of video RAM, which is awful, but it works. I can export but not run. As soon as I put a new prototype online, I'll also upload the Linux export, and you can tell me if it works. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #videogame

Currently setting up a virtual machine to have Linux readily available and export from it, allowing more people to try my games and prototypes. The only downside is that I don't have macOS, unfortunately. I'd love to buy the Mac mini M4, but I don't have the money for it #gamedev #indiedev

Little morning test on global backup management which is finally ready and functional. It doesn't seem like much but it was a good piece of code to put in place and which will be very important for the rest of the adventures ! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #gamemaker

The Noaryn project has stalled a bit; I had to rework all the scenes visually with a simpler prototype tileset. I'm almost finished with my final character, and the world save system is working. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

To fund my projects and indie games, I've set myself a 64-day deadline, until my birthday on August 14th. A deadline to quit smoking—I have to do it before then 🫪 That'll mean more money for #gamedev #stopsmoking #indiegame

Are there any #Spine2D users here? I was wondering if it's possible to export to PNG and as a single straight line, not as a regular spritesheet? It's for GameMaker. Thanks if anyone can tell me. #gamedev

Big project ahead: programming functions to save the world's state so that if you change locations and return, the changes that were made will remain the same, which seems logical. If you've played the prototype, please feel free to give me constructive feedback ♥️ #gamemaker #gamedev #indiedev

Prototype v0.3 is available🎉 for those who want to try it out and give some feedback. There have been a lot of changes since the last prototype; I hope you like it. #gamemaker #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #videogame #noaryn henrystephdev.itch.io/noaryn

I've slightly changed the alarm rules; it's now global, accompanied by a sound and visual effect, and it searches for ALL enemies in the complex you're exploring, and this search persists between zones. Vidéo later #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Last night spent hunting bugs, I think I fixed most of them. Now I need to prepare the... um... first 12 pieces of the game in a structural version to test the gameplay and see if we need to develop new villains. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gamemaker

As announced yesterday, a new addition... Thoughts, as I like to call them. Simply dialog boxes that can be triggered at will and appear as thoughts 🙂 #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #indiegamedev #indiegame

I've given myself a deadline—apparently that's a good one—to finish my game. December 23rd, which is 199 days away. Hmm... Okay, why not, after all. But I mustn't forget to breathe once in a while 🫠 #gamedev #indiegame

I'm currently exploring Spine 2D and I'm hesitating to buy it... Otherwise, tomorrow I'm tackling an addition: thoughts. Dialogues that will appear above the player's head. #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #indiegame

As promised, you can head over to my #itchio page to download the prototype. Of course, not all designs are final. Feel free to let me know if you find any bugs and how 😉 #gamedev #indiegame #prototype #gamemaker #indiedev #indiegamedev henrystephdev.itch.io/noaryn

I was thinking about my character, who normally would look like a fragile little creature and I'm a sort of go-getter. Tell me your favorite in the comments, thank you! 👍 #gamedev #affinitydesigner #indiegame #characterdesign

I think I figured out how not to make my game visually like a platformer. So the job of Level Designer is something, we think it's simple but no in reality there is so much to think about and plan and imagine. #gamedev #leveldesigner #indiegame #gamemaker

Major reassessment last night regarding the game's gameplay direction. With my test rooms for prototyping, I realize I'm heading in a platformer direction, and I don't like that; it's not in the DNA of what I wrote. #indiegame #gamedev #story #videogame

Tomorrow or the day after, I'll be working on a small playable version for you and will upload it to Itchio, a little prototype to get feedback before tackling the bigger parts. Until then, I'm going back to writing the story. #indiegame #gamedev #videogame

A player, a robot, a camera, alerts, a capture... it's just a nice little bit of extra code, and it all works great. My animations aren't perfect yet; I'm trying to learn how to do them properly. #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #indiegamedev #indiegame

Okay, the robot is almost finished. All I have to do is connect it to the global network so that if the camera detects me, it will enter search and alert mode for 10 seconds to test it. See you later for the short video. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegame

At 5:30 AM, I went for a walk and I was thinking, it would be interesting to have a little robot that patrols and chases us if it sees us 🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Slightly improved and slimmed down version above all ^^ I remind you that I am not a designer or illustrator but don't hesitate to give your opinion on our little Darky (yes that's his nickname) #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #affinitydesigner

Small update, the security camera is functional and a first version of the character too. But I'm struggling with the quality rendered in #gamemaker... it's slowly starting to take shape. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Since the security camera finished earlier than expected, I'm going to take advantage of the time to draw a main character I've already started, I admit, and integrate it into the camera. No animations yet. Short video tonight. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Hello everyone, I hope you're all doing well and that your projects are progressing smoothly. Don't give up and pursue your vision; you can do it! 🌞 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame

The small tileset is finished, here are a few images, but the final result for a prototype is better than just simple colors. It's more appealing, I should say ^^ #affinitydesigner #gamemaker #indiegame

I'm going to spend the evening practicing a bit on #affinitydesigner and preparing a small tileset of a few images to make a more visually appealing test area. Lots of work ahead of me still ^^ #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

And there you have it, the wall jump is configured, a "hideout" zone is ready. I took the opportunity to add gamepad support and haptic feedback, vibrations based on fall speed. I've started it, but I'll finish a security camera tomorrow. #indieGamedev #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Tonight I'm going to try to integrate a wall jump and a shadow zone, a trigger where the player can hide out of sight. It shouldn't be too complicated. Not much time today, but tomorrow I have an idea for a security camera 🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker

A small step forward tonight : the story writing is progressing, and new abilities have been added to our character. He can now climb walls and cling to certain ceilings. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker

Okay, let's keep it simple ! I'm not unhappy with my first side-scroller character, he walks and jumps, which is something. Now he needs to do a bit more, but first I have to write my script because I have a story in my mind 😁 #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gamemaker #videogame

Okay, I might have a little idea for the next project. It won't be a top-down view, but a classic 2D side-scroller. I'm going to start by looking at how physics works in #gamemaker and create a simple character that walks and jumps. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Even though my first little game flopped, it's okay, I expected it. It's strange what happens after a video game project is finished. It's like being tossed about by waves of ideas for the next project without knowing where to go 🤔 #indiegame #videogame #gamedev

Greyline is live! 🎉 Why wait when everything is ready ? Please excuse my broken English bu if you have 10 minutes to spare, Greyline is for you. #gamedev #story #indiedev #indiegame #gamemaker #greyline #videogame henrystephdev.itch.io/greyline

All English and French audio for the game is now complete. Just a few final details left before releasing it online. My spoken English isn’t great, but I did my best. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #story #greyline

A quick test of the English audio; I stumble over my words quite a bit, I must say. I'll try to do better than that. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

The mechanics, the gameplay in general, the visuals, everything is in place. I have a playable beginning and end. All that's left is to record all the audio in French and English, and I think it will truly be finished. It's strange to reach the end of a project. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

It seems that some cages end up becoming our only known reality. The game is progressing well, but my mental prison is shaking me up a lot right now. #indiegame #gamedev #mentalhealth

I think I've finished writing the final act of the story. I couldn't say everything because it hurts me, but however short the game will be, I needed to express it. I'll reread it all tomorrow morning with a fresh mind, and if okay, then all that's left is to finish it. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

En pleine écriture de l'acte 2, je m'entraîne aux animations sprite par sprite avec #affinitydesigner c'est pas le plus facile mais ça vient petit à petit à force d'essai. Le plus dur ce sont les cycles de marches je trouve pour l'instant #indiegame #gamemaker #indiedev #gamedev

📢Sneak peek into a new level unlocked! It's been an incredible first week. You guys have crushed it with the support, we are already over 80%! We have also hit our first community goal, yaaay!! Everyone is free to check it out on the updates tab in our Kickstarter.

J'ai bien avancé aujourd'hui, les 8 scènes de mon premier acte sont terminées (sans l'audio) j'ai attaqué le dernier acte mais il est difficile car je vais très profond dans mon esprit et des blessures remontent. Le jeu sera court mais très personnel. J'espère qu'il plaira #indiegame #gamedev #perso

J'étais entrain de réfléchir... Actuellement tous les triggers audio joue le son d'un petit oiseau pour le développement. Mais après avoir fait l'audio français ce sera au tour de la version anglaise... Je m'excuse par avance je crois ce ne sera pas parfait #indiegame #gamedev

Je bosse dur sur mon petit jeu, c'est tellement narratif que j'ai peu de chose de d'extraordinaire à vous montrer en ce moment. C'est une histoire très personnelle donc cela réveille régulièrement certains de mes troubles ce qui n'aide pas. #indiegame #gamedev #personalstory #gamestory

Système de notification de message couplé au lecteur audio c'est fait. Maintenant il pourra recevoir des messages des tréfonds... J'ai commencé l'écriture de l'acte 2 qui n'est pas facile pour moi, très personnel merci de votre patience #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker
