Re-uploading this because the previous upload was like 20fps for some reason: Looking for feedback on the SFX design. I think it’s cool but I worry that a lot of people will quickly get sick of it. #indiegame #solodev #tetris #screenshotsaturday

Rediscovered an old #pico8 game I made in 2019. I forgot how much fun I used to have making tiny games like this.

Smoother and more seamless #indiedev #godot #tetris #shader

Worked on a slam impact “warp” shader effect for my Tetris-like game #godot #indiedev #shader #tetris

My weird Tetris is getting weirder And it’s actually pretty fun! #gamedev #godotengine #indiegame

I have achieved seamless looping on my pseudosphere #indiedev #solodev #godot #tetris

Hmmm

Reworked the camera because I wasn’t happy with It before. I really like this thing 😄 #godot #indiegame #indiedev #tetris

Necromancer (little purple guy) seeking out and reanimating corpses: #roguelike

Here we are at the end of another year. Keep living, keep fighting, keep growing. Keep loving, and making, and building, and singing. Remember what we’ve lost, look ahead towards the horizon of what’s to come. Take care and stay safe, my friends.

Made a little Tetris-like game while watching Christmas movies with my family #tetris #indiedev #godotengine

Updating the respite levels in my #roguelike

Reworked the lighting again. All of the 'lights' you see in this video are just clever shader tricks on completely unlit geometry. This is significantly more performant than using Godot's omnidirectional lights and dynamic shadows aren't really a concern for my art style. #solodev #indiegame

WIP beam attacks. After charging the attack you don't have to charge between shots if you don't miss. It rewards precision with high damage potential. Still working on it though, especially the VFX. #solodev #indiedev #godot

Better fire VFX for this creature

Haven’t been able to touch the game for a few days but I wanted to share this thing in motion. It was supposed to be ominous but maybe it’s just silly. It should be more unsettling when I animate the mouths to chomp and chatter and finish designing its ranged attack. #indiedev #solodev

It’s a work-in-progress

Fixed the billboard particles so they work right with the 360 degree FOV. Hardly noticeable change for some people but it was something I couldn’t overlook.

Finished texturing this abomination I made for a commission. #lowpoly #horrorgame #horror

Thanks so much to whoever donated, you absolute madlad!

Pocket Dimension now supports custom color palettes! Once I publish this update I’ll make a guide (or maybe even a video) explaining how to make custom themes/texture packs.

While I was developing my #roguelike, I made this weird little level where I would have all of the game’s creatures locked up in little prison cells and all of the items easily accessible. It was very convenient for testing bugs, but I accidentally made a torture chamber I think 😅

Apologies to anyone who tried to play my game. There was apparently a windows defender false-positive due to the fact I was trying to compile the game into a single exe file which I guess has known issues with this. I have updated the game and verified that it works with the itch launcher as well.

‘Pocket Dimension’ A bite-sized traditional ascii-roguelike you can play during a coffee break or the other "unskippable side quests" of our present age! Made in my spare time over two weeks as a personal challenge

Announcing: ‘Pocket Dimension’! A bite-sized traditional ascii-roguelike you can play during a coffee break or the other "unskippable side quests" of our present age! Made in my spare time over two weeks as a personal challenge Free to download on Itch (linked in the comments)

Here’s the key art for my upcoming #roguelike game, “Pocket Dimension”, skillfully drawn by @ woefulbeetle on Instagram. Much better than my insane scribblings 😆 If I get off work at a reasonable time today, the game will drop tonight. So keep at least one eye open!

Releasing a small gamejam roguelike soon…

I am currently working on a properly windowed mode with a customizable bitmap font for the people who don’t want to play games in a real terminal.

Made a silly little roguelike in python last Friday for a “gamejam” (stress-induced mania). Ended up being so fun that I’ve been polishing it up over the past several days. I think I’ll release it on itch.io this weekend, just because.

Mayflies

Messed up and didn’t actually post the video. This is the point where I have to decide if I like the wavy map look

Didn’t do much today but I did improve the way the player is rendered and started working on a better map parser. Dungeon proc-gen and interacting with items is up next.

I hate “pixels” that aren’t axis aligned and arranged in a grid. I love terraria for instance but I always cringe a bit when I see the way the player swings swords. Not the worst I’ve seen but I do consider it a blemish on an otherwise beautiful game

I do plan to open-source this eventually. I’d also love to try to use it in some game jams so that I can make the API more streamlined.

I am a wizard and these are my magic runes! (Rendering in my bespoke c++ OpenGL engine)

This effect never gets old to me. I like to imagine this is how a dragonfly sees.

Finally got around to porting my old shader to godot 4. It’s more versatile than the vertex shader and, despite being less performant, I think I want to make it work. Happy to be working on this project again. It’s been way too long…

Finished the hand I’ve been making in #blender3d

WIP textures

Made a hand. Texture still WIP
