The snowy season has already begun in #IsekaiTales 🌨❄🌨❄ Should I pause weather effects whem the menu/inventory is open? 🤔 To me this feels somehow wrong but maybe that is only me. #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Sometimes it's the simple things. Here are two super simple functions I constantly use. They are really nothing special but I am really happy to have written them. :3 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev

Massively expanded the debuging tools. That's gonna be super usefull now when shifting to adding the actual game. Also savefiles now contain actual important stuff worth keeping track. :3 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

I completely rewrote my notification library Howl. Adding it to #IsekaiTales and voilà: Achievements can pop up. 🏆🍾🎆 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Sure, we all love the god old show_debug_message("BUG") debugging but it's just REALLY helpfull to visualise stuff. #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev

Time to step on stuff. Sometimes it hurts, so be carefull. 🦶🤕 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

I swear I don't have a problem... but here is yet another menu. This time it's a Tarkov style inventory with different sized items that can be rotated. Also the shape itself can be quite fragmented. #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev

It's finally time to add more glyphs to my font. I can't promise anything but german/englisch is set in stone. My wish would be to also include spanisch/portuguese/japanese/chinese. Of course even more is always nice. 🌍🌎🌏 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

A different kind of round: radial/pie menu unlocked. Don't think there is any other form of round shaped menu out there. At least none that I know of. 🤔 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev

This is why I love programming: Put a chest and the abillity to choose from last week into a blender and you got yourself a shop system. 💙 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

So now I need to edit the video but it looks like this is gonna be ~1h30m maybe even ~2h if I keep more of the basic explanations. 🤔 (And on top of that I don't know how to edit videos ^^''. This is gonna take a while.) #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev

Initially didn't plan to implement this. It may not be used for a branching story but adding a little bit of characterization this way is nice. :D #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Playing around with a ring menu. Really like those funky things. :3 Honestly would like to do a tutorial about this in GameMaker if only my introverted self wouldn't intervene constantly. 🤔 Well, on the bright side one third of the work is now done. :D #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev

This week was more about background stuff like looking into Steam and how to get #IsekaiTales on there. 👀 All this still feels sureal to me. Thank you all for giving me the hope and encouragement. ♥

The overworld map is done! 🗺 All the menues are basically done now. :D #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Time to fill the other pages of the inventory menu. :3 Here is space for some special collectibles. 👀 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Decluttered the HUD a little bit and finished part 2. Now you can quickswap between 4 pairs of items. Just set them and swap to your heart's content. :3 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

From all the things I posted about #IsekaiTales so far, is there anything you would like to see a tutorial on in #GameMaker ? Or maybe something else as a tutorial? No promises but I had this thought for a long time now. 🤔

Finally updated Input to the newest version and rewrote a majority of the icon handling. This was part 1 to for a new feature. Now onto part 2. °^° #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Even though a certain monkey distracted me this week I still got something done. :D Be careful when at low healt or your adventure might come to a premature end. 😨 But hey you'll be back on your feed in no time. 🥳 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

#IsekaiTales got some more tiles to play around with. Even more are on the way. :D #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

When you have an idea at midnight and can't sleep unless you try it. So, why not just make a stream layout tool in gamemaker. xD #GameMaker #screenshotsaturday

Thank you all for the love and support for #IsekaiTales ♥️ Nothing to show this week as I was sick. 🤢 Thankfully it is already over and with renewed energy I am ready for more. :D You matter and you are loved. Take care everyone. 🫶

Sometimes on your adventure you just want a distraction. Besides some minigames here is a first look at the one bigger game that is in #IsekaiTales . Challenge NPCs, collect cards and built a deck. :D 🎴🃏 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

This sure is a classic one. The one and only boomerang. A trusted companion by soooo many adventureres. :3 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Now you can go digging with your trusty old shovel and who knows what you might find. :3 🛠🕳 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday

Of course what goes along with warm weather? Some ice. :D It's just a little prone to melt. 🧊🍧🍦🥶 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Now that it is getting warmer again, how about taking a swim? Just be sure to take safety meassures. :D 🏊‍♀️🩳 #IsekaiTales #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Refactoring always gives this warm fuzzy feeling of dread and uneasiness if it's still gonna work afterwards. xD And also saved some space. I totally needed those few kB back. #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #IsekaiTales

Not only did the bow get an upgrade but the lamp now is finished as well and on top of that the fire arrows got a cameo. :3 All this leads to some shenanigans in #IsekaiTales 🏹🔥🕯🔦 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

As one not really interested in achievements I need some feedback in what kind. Those you get through story? Or those you need to hunt down? ~70% story/~30% other a good target? In game reward if you get some/all or are they by enough as is? #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #gaming #games #videogames

Now there is an easy way to respawn. But be carefull, #IsekaiTales has some holes to fall into. 🕳💫💢 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Squashed some bugs this time 🔨🐞 Also added some old-school "lighting" to #IsekaiTales Let there be... darkness? xD #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Once more a huge thanks to everyone for the support. I really appreciate y'all. 💖 Was a little occupied but managed to do some code cleaning. 🧹🧹🧹 And hey, #IsekaiTales is not bound to only one map anymore. :D #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

With renewed energy #IsekaiTales got a new item, the flute. I always loved this feature and wanted to do something like this. No effect implemented yet, but already got it to find and play the songs. :3 What could those notes possible play? 👀 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Thank you everyone for a wonderful time and the support of me and #IsekaiTales so far. All of this has been really motivational. I can feel that all this helps me mentally tremendously and I can't describe how grateful I am. <3 Take care of your mental health. :3 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev

Today I want to introduce two important figures in #IsekaiTales Our heroin Syntax and this being caled Minkeling. There are other Minkelings but this one is special. What secrets will unfold is for you to discover. :3 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

#IsekaiTales now with three times the save files and if you are bored of it you can delete them. :D And what is that ominous big building? 👀 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

How about something technical today: Different items interact in a different way with objects/enemies/npcs so instead of long if/else/switch statements, with bitmasking it is super easy to cover all posibilities in a compact manor. :3 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Now everything is ready to unlock items through progression... or open the debug view and cheat. xD #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday

Finding a treasure chest is always nerve wrecking. What could possible be in it? 👀 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Let's take a step back... to the main menu. :D Just don't forget to reset everything necessary behind the scene. 👀 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday

Something in your way? Just pick it up and toss it. :D Granted you got the strengh to do it. #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Because I am happy, why not show more. <3 Textbox it is. #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

How many things can I show in one minute: screen transition ✅ jumping off with screentransition ✅ change language ✅ audio Slider ✅ resolution ✅ button Remap ✅ controler support ✅ automatical switching between controller and keyboard ✅ :3 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday

This week's menu: Jumping. Don't know why, but it's so fun to do this in a 2D game. :3 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

How about we go climbing? :D #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Take aim with the bow. Just be careful where you point it at. :D #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday

Keeping track off your stuff in one place. :3 #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday

Some basic options are always a good idea. #GameMaker #IndieGame #IndieDev #screenshotsunday
