Thank you to everyone who came by to play TETHERPUNK at MAGFest!!! We're super excited to continue expanding the project with new levels, physics toys, and boss battles. We'll be posting updates here and in our community discord server, stay tuned! 🚀💥 #gamedev #indiedev

MAGFest day 3 and our booth is open for business! Come blow stuff up!!

goodnight Magfest :) see you all tomorrow!

MAGFest Day 2!!! Look for the table with the big yellow sign and the spooky skeleton lady!!!

TETHERPUNK is part of the Indie Video Game Showcase (MIVS) at Super MAGFest this year! Grappling hooks? Explosions? High Octane Chaos? Come swing by our booth - we'd love to hear what you think! #gamedev #indiedev

Spent the first hour of Christmas doing silly arts and crafts in my basement. I love my life!!! Hope everyone out there has a wonderful day :))

For Nuclear Throne's 10th birthday I added The Vlambeer Sawblade™ to the action game I'm working on (@TETHERPUNK.bsky.social) while my friend streamed the new update It bounces off the wall directly back into the turret that fired it so it's basically already perfect #screenshotsaturday

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! After 2+ years of development and a long, arduous, white-knuckled, tournament-style, no holds barred decision making process — Project Rope Tool has officially been renamed to TETHERPUNK! Likes and reposts greatly appreciated to help spread the word :) #gamedev #indiedev

ASTRONAUTILUS loopbreaker releases today on Steam and itch! You can get the game and free update here: store.steampowered.com/app/1724120/ASTRONAUTILUS/ neozoid-games.itch.io/astronautilus Have fun playing!

Would you get this design on a t shirt? #gamedev #indiedev

They think deleting half the level can stop me #gamedev #indiedev

Find out what other devs think about Bait & Tackle! youtube.com/shorts/dRqTF...

Thanks to everyone who came by to break our game at @rocgamefest.bsky.social!

We'll even have merch! Free shirt to whoever has the #1 time on the leaderboard at the end of the day. All proceeds go to the development of a shorter game with worse graphics.

Hey we're at Roc Game Fest @rocgamefest.bsky.social this year! Come swing by! Tomorrow 11am-5pm at THE SHED at RIT.

Project Rope Tool Devlog #13 Another modular design showcase for you all! You can now add the ship attachment functionality to any physics object in the game. #gamedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #12 As I mentioned last time, I’ve been doing a study on modular system design recently and wanted to show off a quick example of the type of versatility that I’m building towards… so here: grappling hook on a mining droid! #gamedev #indiedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #11 Yeah… it’s been a while since my last log. The reason is because I’ve been in a giant rabbit hole. One of my biggest concerns about the project has been scalability. As it stands, it's not very easy to create and test new objects and levels quickly. #gamedev #indiedev

Rope Tool Devlog #10 Both halves of my level editor design are now working together! You start by drawing an area as your “canvas” and then you cut into it with the nodeshapes! #gamedev #indiedev

Project Rope Tool is an ACTION-PHYSICS-SANDBOX game, where you build and pilot a spaceship using a grappling hook. Scavenge scrap tech from your environment, and use it for movement and combat! Hijinks ensue. Wishlist on Steam! 🚀 store.steampowered.com/app/2958730/... #PitchYaGame

Goodbye, wind tunnel that cut through the entire level, I will see you in another life... #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

A grappling hook makes every game better. That’s just scientific fact. But what if you attached a grappling hook to a spaceship? That’s Project Rope Tool (@ropetool.bsky.social). Swing through a zero gravity environment and watch out for those drones! youtube.com/watch?v=Zsx4...

Project Rope Tool Devlog #9 Concept sketch for what I want the game’s environment art to look/feel like! Still playing with saturation and value but I’m happy with what I have so far #indiedev #gamedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #8 Took the game to the BrookLAN playtest for the second month in a row! I was finallyyy able to show off the new lower resolution graphics that I have been working on since the start of this year. Wooo!!!! #gamedev #indiedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #7 Oh boy these are getting more and more sporadic aren’t they? The latter half of last week I did a few lighting/environment tests and followed it up with a bit of much needed code reorganization. Nothing new to show just yet! #gamedev #indiedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #6 I decided to take the level editor in a different direction over the weekend. Instead of drawing brushes I’ve focusing on more of a node-based system that lets you “carve out” smooth geometry #gamedev #indiedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #5 Subtraction and Fill brushes have been added to the level editing tools! We’re getting pretty close to creating a rudimentary environment that the player can grapple around in. #gamedev #indiedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #4 I spent my day yesterday getting started on my idea for grid-based level editing. So far all I have is grid snapping and the ability to make tubes, but it's coming along! #gamedev #indiedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #3 Not much development to share this time but Anna and I did exhibit the game CCNY’s Unreleased Games Arcade! #gamedev #indiedev

I goofed a scene merge and accidentally created conjoined twins 🥲 #gamdev #indiedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #2 I added color animations to my dynamic physics ropes! The idea here is to make some of these lines look like wires with electrical currents. I’m trying to add a bit more electric theming to the visual style for a reason I cannot reveal yet :) #gamdev #indiegame

Project Rope Tool Devlog #1 Hey all! I recently had a meeting with our team mentor where we had the chance to iron out what the Steam early access release of our game is going to look like #gamedev #indiedev

one of the jankier sections of our new greybox level rip minecart blender you were too good for this world #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Our newest son is doing his best to hit the player. He has a ways to go.

Minecart Race! :D #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Autism be damned my boy can climb a chute. 🗣️🗣️🗣️ #screenshotsaturday #gamedevelopment

happy #screenshotsaturday (sunday edition) this week, among other things, I animated in some of the dust particles from NAIR. the game looks much more lively now :) #gamedev

Rocket heat seeking is now TOO GOOD. #indiegames #gamdev

Set off one explosion every frame and now we've summoned Ra, the ancient deity of the accidentally-made sun... #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev

Guns. With. Legs. We've been hard at work adding more enemy types and AI behaviors to the game, including these leg attachments! Rope Tool is playable via Itch and has a flourishing Discord community. Check them out from our Linktree! #indiegame #gamedev

Happy birthday Half-Life 2, you're the reason our own physics game has so many explosive barrels. #HalfLife2 #gamedev
