Added a corpse explosion to the tier 3 poison skill! Also coded in a system to keep track of/ limit the max number of skeletons. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Reworking/ debugging some of the skills: The rock elements now also trigger some of the other elements (plants here) Spark bombs buffed, but randomised. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Doing final pass of all the skill level ups: the fire swords tier 3 creates burning patches that grow as you level up the skill. The fire damage still comes from the tier 1 skill, so all skills continue to have value. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Finished up all the weapons and armour! Sorting out some UI inconsistencies today. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Skelly variants! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Alright! All the armour and this characters weapons in! I should probably just do the remaining weapons while I’m here. I also put up archery and melee targets! And drew some logs! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

A bit tired of coding actually, doing some drawing today instead. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

All swords, common and uncommon armour and bows done! Going to try and power through the rest today #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Alright! I adding these little item previews when you pick them up. I think building the anticipation is a big part of the appeal, so adding a small step before you can just equip the item really helps. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Ok I’ve sorted out the items into separate levels, so I can control the pacing of the drops more precisely. I want to try to add a little item portrait preview when you pick them up before I expand this system. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Inventory descriptions for all the items added! Slightly reformatted the displayed info. Need to fix some UI clipping/ formatting, but inventory nearly complete! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Inventory items all added in and working! UI bugs fixed! The text needs to be fixed, and some of the projectile skills have bugs to iron out, but big issues solved! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Alright, all weapons magic programmed in! The ui is a bit buggy, but the things themselves are working! Armour is good to go, just finishing up remaining swords and bow, and inventory should be done for now! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

I’m basically just watching video essays and listening to podcasts nowadays anyways.

Halfway through the items, hopefully finishing it up today. Coded in the equip load, resistances, and life/mana drain animations! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Redid the inventory UI to chunk info better to make it easier to parse! Also finished balancing the items. Finished the unique character choosing animation for the UI. And added more sounds: confirmation click and bow! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Upgraded capsule image! Mostly setting up behind the scenes data entry and balancing for the inventory items at the moment; very important but nothing to visually show on that front. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Boot! Nearly done with (up to legendary items) inventory! Gloves and boots today. Body armour remaining! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

I’ve redone the inventory UI, and added sound effects! Finalising exactly what the items should be able to do and how they display it. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Ive redone the UI and finalised the skill tree! Balancing will be needed for the skills themselves later, but everything in this section feels very organised now. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

I made enough money to pay for my website again! Come look at my old paintings and sculptures! Also the first board game I made! www.rpanichart.com #gamedev #art #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #TheUniverseOfDeath

Working on being the scenes UI and number balancing, but also getting some enemy designs in. Wraiths: for when you piss off the ghosts. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Summon icons/ counters! Nearly done finalising this characters skill tree! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Final skill programmed in! Lightning strikes random enemies every x seconds. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Gems! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Back end of the armour set up! Going to put in the set and rare items, and then setting up the lockup/ pickup system for the armour. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

All elemental skills added to projectiles! And debugging and cleaning things up as I go: Towers are fixed, skeletons now have shadows, new slime spawn points design and animations. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

And another skill is throwing knives when you land. They do more damage, but fire off in random directions. Melee upgrades apply to these. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Multi shot is functional! It’s programmed such a way that regular projectile upgrades and skills will also apply. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Rings and amulets! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Wendigo walking animation! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Minion stress test! You can have at least 30 wolves and this many skeletons, with all auras on. Might have to retool the smoke aura, that one seems to be the one eating up processing power. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Paladin-esque Auras! These two will be for movement speed and life gain. Each character has their own, so 3 more to go. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Helms and armour! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Everything-on test for melee! All 10 elements are stackable and upgradable! Each character has two, but everything else is acquirable through gear. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

So I should probably be working on more important coding issues, but sometimes it’s just nice to draw or animate something to clear my mind a bit. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Warning arrows! Had my nieces play test it, and while they understood the controls, it appears the flags and horn too subtle. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Life span animations! Need to add one more where it falls out of the slime. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Working through the animation frames, but sorted out this stage of dragon. It’s more worm-like than I originally planned but I think I’m ok with it. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

The goblins feed the grubs gold and use their dried excrement for everything from their buildings to their weapons and armour. Their entire economy is based on it. The grubs grow into dragons that attack everyone. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Sorted out the bridge tiles! Slowly debugging and prepping this one for an upcoming demo release as well! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

I’ve just received my 10th good review and we have been upgraded from “nothing” to “Positive”! Huzzah! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #RoidChimp

Roid Chimp is live! A fast paced action platformer where you defeat enemies like the Stupid Zucking Zuckface, Bozos the Fart Clown, and Rat Boy Putin! 15% off now! store.steampowered.com/app/3271860/... #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

So I have been making the new game while dealing with release anxiety from my first game, but I think it’s time: Roid Chimp! Attack the garbage monsters responsible for the hellscape we live in! Releasing tomorrow! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #RoidChimp

And if anyone’s curious, here are the notes I wrote last night while stoned for me to code in this morning! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

If the randomly flying projectiles hit enemies, they build up a little meter wherein you can kill the enemy to turn them back into a peasant. Probably will only work on orcs, zombies, and ghosts; slimes should just die. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Slowly chipping away at the rest of the rare, legendary, and mythic weapons! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

In process towards figuring out new architecture/ terrain/ geometry. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

Enemy attack animations! #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath

And the last element is “light”. It’s level 3 needs a sort of “conversation” mechanic im still playing with in my mind, but level 2 creates little health orbs, as a sort of mana drain. #gamedev #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #TheUniverseOfDeath
