A new minelayer weapon. Can only have 1 deployed at a time, and it has full friendly fire. If used properly, it is devastating #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

There was a time when the game presented a pilot's information in a form your would expect from a personality test. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

A new mini boss: it uses new plasma engine drones to protect itself from fire as well as to cut an easy attack route. Note that every vessel in this combat is programmed inside the game! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

"A reaction drive's efficiency as a weapon is in direct proportion to its efficiency as a drive." -- One of the Larry Niven books somewhere

This engine is so dangerous it can be considered a weapon! Put it to the side and you get strafing. Make it face the vessel direction and it becomes a backwards thruster. Or use it as acceleration booster. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

The game will get a mini manual-style guide in addition to a less intrusive context hints ("tutorials"). If the player is lost, perhaps they can unstuck using this information. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Some indie games can reach those crazy numbers, it just takes time! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Still trying to decrease visual boringness: Adding a white fade out grid and a skirt of colors that adds to the previously existing top-down color gradient. I think it makes it more interesting without distracting from the diorama center scene. What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #raylib

My life after the game's release is illustrated by this picture #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Creating a small 2x4 pixel display in NebuLeet using drones and diodes (I modified the diode sprite so it's large and squared). Every drone knows its spot and serves as a switchable pixel. Rand colors are assigned by a keypress Bad Apple in NebuLeet - when? #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

NebuLeet v1.0 is released! 🎉🎉🎉 An epic rogue-like space RPG with tactical combat and programmable units. Think X-COM meets Space Rangers and Carnage Heart :D store.steampowered.com/app/3024370/... #ebitengine #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

I'm in a process of making more in-game tutorials (and memes) (it's mostly memes) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

It's 1 day before NebuLeet release! store.steampowered.com/app/3024370/... #gamdev #indiedev #indiegame

The game compiles the in-game visual programming language into a bytecode-like lower level language. Then it executes that bytecode to perform the player's algorithm #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

One of the factions will use player-made vessel designs for its fleet! Some of them will have an unique behavior based on the algorithm that player provided. (It utilizes the Steam workshop integration) #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

New features: * export entire programs * assign these exported programs as default scripts #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I added an in-game feedback form :D Now players can tell me the 3 most important words without leaving the game! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

You can now add allies/enemies to the vessel debug simulation! This means you can code and test your ideas on the same scene, no need to configure arena or anything. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #ebitengine

Trying to estimate how fun (and hard) would it be to use a weapon with a bouncing projectile. You would need to calculate the reflection angle to have a chance of hitting more than a single target #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

NebuLeet Devlog 5: Lain-blessed, pre-release powered store.steampowered.com/news/app/302... #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #indiedev

Nothing special, just my friend is having fun with a game in their own way by placing 40+ weapons on a single unit and then deploying dozens of them #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Added simulation options to the software designer screen. Set a seed, configure arena size, and turn other spaceship programs on/off. Coming next: enemy/allies selection for the simulation. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

How about: Fried Chicken vs Lasers

The release was never so close! :D

A new weapon: light lance. It needs to be charged for a while before firing: undercharging OR overcharging it leads to a self-inflicted damage and no beam. It hits all targets on a line, allies included. The firing arc is limited to ~60 degs #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Added key rebinding to the game :) #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Player: We want global vars to share data between units. Me: Here's a color signal comm system: one channel as a signature, two for data. Signals are spatial: with position & radius. Nearest match priority. When broadcasting, the unit glows in that RGB color. #indiegame #indiegame #gamedev

This is 8-bitBot: A programming puzzle game that I am working on and aiming to release in December. There is much to do still, but it is coming nicely along so far. Steam wishlisting: store.steampowered.com/app/3959370/... Playable demo on my website (a bit outdated): quakatoo.com/projects/cod...

You can now officially draw using in-game debug utils :D Lines, circles, numbers - and with different colors! #ebitengine #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #golang

A new chargeable weapon is out! There is a constant tradeoff to make: whether to release or keep charging. Keep in mind that both of these units are programmed inside the game, so it's not a simple weapon to master. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

"A perfect space pilot name does not exist" A perfect space pilot name: #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart #gamedev #evangelion #anime

I just was fooling around with hue saturation and, suddenly, MIKU :D

Steam workshop integration is almost done! I had to work extra hard to make it work on both Linux and Windows systems. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

NebuLeet will have an integrated Steam workshop! Publish your vessels from the game! Other players will have a chance of encountering your vessel in their campaign, and they also can install it to their sandbox. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

🚨 GAME INDUSTRY FRIENDS I’m looking for professionals who would be interested in any of the following roles for a cool project I’m helping put together. These are paid positions. Hit me up and/or share! 👾

I created a Discord server for NebuLeet: discord.gg/BzSpzYaFTn If you're interested in this programming game about space combat and spaceship design, feel free to join! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I added a simulation option. It runs a precise combat simulation without graphics while calculating all statistics like per-weapon damage. It runs simulations on several cores, but it won't make your computer too hot (I promise) #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #ebitengine #golang

Boss vs Boss #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

My game did pretty well on Ludum Dare 58! I uploaded a post-jam update to the itch io, check it out! quasilyte.itch.io/runicforce #LDJam #indiegame #indiedev

NebuLeet devlog 3 Missile tracking systems, more content, dominion wars can now result in planet annexation (and player can either stop that or help it happen) store.steampowered.com/news/app/302... #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Marking & shooting down incoming missiles The "danger" is calculated by a simple heuristic: if missile current position is further away from us that its predicted next position, then it is dangerous. I also added a distance-based weight factor #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

This is too real #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Working on new stationary battle platform bosses for the game :) #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

"I choose I" situation #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Yay github.com/readyready15...

I like how this new hairstyle fits the "edgy gothic dead inside" kind of personality of some characters #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart
