Back to implementing some more systems: levers and cranks. Levers are binary on/off, cranks are analog, and they all come in single, bi-directional, or timed variants. Should be able to make some sneaking rooms a bit more hectic with these. #GodotEngine

I sometimes wonder at what music may have influenced Warhammer, specifically in this case Necromunda. Transvisions Vamps - Pop art released back in 88 has some tracks that definitely put me in mind of the setting. Trash City, Hanging Out with Halo Jones especially put me in the vibe. Hence my gang.

Next thing I wanted to do: Doomguy-esque animated face sprite on the HUD. Used another AnimationTree for this; coming from Blender I find node graph-based tools to be a pretty natural choice. Was surprised that so few tutorials I've watched make use of Advance Expressions, I love 'em.

Another small basic perspective tutorial. 🎨 Get down with the thickness! 🤭 I hope it helps you out and is easy to understand 🙏

Currently the only incentives in the game are any% and 100% time attack, and 100% has a lot more engagement with the mechanics. Added a sprint that burns composure, so there's more risk/reward at play even if you aren't hunting for all the treasures. #GodotEngine

the neopets ttrpg kickstarter is going great

www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5ld... Recorded a run through of the prototype level with the current state of the game. Have been tinkering with the movement, got something much snappier than the previous version. #GodotEngine

Previously had all the animations in one big state machine, but that wasn't really feasible, so I divided it up and that let me do some other stuff, like a little pickup animation. Experimenting with speeding up the walk to see where I need it to be for the feet to not slide. #GodotEngine

I made this and I really like it. If you like hearing someone mentally unravel, you might like it too. cwumbledang.bandcamp.com/album/cloak-...

From a 1990 issue of EGM: Toho itself actually published a (Compile-developed) Game Boy version of Godzilla - as an action puzzle game - in the U.S.!

displacing a texture based on particle movement in geonodes! this is a very simple movement, but once this part is done I can add more complex simulations #blender #blender3d

TEARSCAPE LAUNCH TRAILER OUT NOW ON STEAM

A list of games made with Black leadership you can wishlist) and congrats to Space Warlord Baby Trading Simulator for being the first out the gate!

Got a prototype mannequin in for the player character as well, with at least some kind of animation for everything important. Going to need to tighten up some of these animation state transitions and make movement feel more grounded. #GodotEngine

Using KayKit's animated mannequin as a placeholder to help figure out how I want to do the upgraded visuals for the creeps. After recording this, had to spend a while figuring out why casting the imp after the smoke didn't properly make the enemy non-threatening, but also fixed that. #GodotEngine

made a dr no-esque looping loading screen for the initial game startup

Got it aligning to slopes and a fun new grab effect, so counting the Slime done for now. Next up: characters that have both legs and arms. Going to be tougher. #GodotEngine

While doing some late-night trawling of the Internet Archive, I discovered the Namco Museum of Gunpla: Gundam Shop Volume 1 from 1996. This multimedia CD (Macintosh) is a wonderful virtual Gunpla store and museum with photos of model kits, boxes, and info. Will drop a vid of it in action below.

Got my slime in with a nice fresnel shader and its animation tree. I want to replace the effect it spawn in the grab with something fancier, and make it so it aligns to the normal of the floor below it, but otherwise it's working well! #GodotEngine

Working on improved visuals for the slime enemy. Here's it's model and "walk" cycle.

Here's a version with alt text, as I realize that may be helpful given the amount of words in the images:

Did a big re-do on how stealth works in the game, which involved drawing a bunch of diagrams in order to help myself figure out how to structure it. I started off really timid about doing a bunch of stuff every tick, but it seems to be no issue. #GodotEngine

Hi! My name is Zarah! My last pinned intro post mentioned me streaming which... isn't really happening much anymore. But I am making YouTube videos! Like this one about RTS games! I think it turned out all right.

An experiment with a different way of managing awareness on the enemies. Previously they started a timer when they saw you; if they can still see you when the timer expires, they go into alert. Replaced it with a meter that fills while you're in sight, and drains otherwise. Want to tweak it further.

Shots of the new ammo models for the summons.

shot-on-tape behind the scenes of Green Goblin looks like a heisei Kamen Rider

Implemented new visuals for the Cake From Hell. First time actually doing a walk cycle! #GodotEngine

Non-sexy game update: added audio sliders and hooked them up into the config-saving system. Also set up Focus so that the menus should be navigable with a controller. #GodotEngine

Updated visuals for the summoned imp, with the ammo being a bag of Imp Snax. Showing off the actual summon, and then some that I just placed in the level at a scaled up size to make her easier to see. At her low poly count, hopefully Suggestive is enough for this vid.

🌤️

My next stage is to replace the primitive placeholders with stuff that's a little nicer. Started with the smokescreen spell, giving it some particle effects and replacing its ammo with a little bag. #GodotEngine

Tonight's work was putting together a slightly better graybox environment to build specific testing scenarios, and also experiment with what the minimum corridor widths/ceiling heights are before the camera starts to become a problem. #GodotEngine

Some of the non-sexy work that will be necessary for it to function as a game. Expanded the score saving to allow for multiple levels, and added a start screen to choose a level to play. #GodotEngine

Neighbor house finally has a zillow listing and there are like 3 pictures of a horse inside the house. (Horse belongs to another neighbor, he's allowed to graze in a few yards)

It was finally time to read the docs on saving and loading. Wasn't too painful following the given examples and modifying them to my needs; now it will preserve a player's camera control settings between sessions and also keep track of best times. #GodotEngine

commissions open rt if you can 🙏🙏🙏

Little preview of Junji Ito's forthcoming MOBY DICK adaptation. He seems to be... taking a few liberties with the original text lol.

Happy large boulder the size of a small boulder day for all who celebrate

www.youtube.com/watch?v=59DW... Recorded a run of my prototype. The level is pretty simple, but I had a lot of fun going back to Blender and making it. Very freeing to just block something out as low poly as possible and hitting it with vertex colors. #GodotEngine

Finished my prototype level, and getting people to play it, and making one important change off of the immediate feedback: There is now an options screen that comes up when you pause so you can adjust the camera rig's behavior. #GodotEngine

Getting started on a real (but simple) environment. My wild dream was to get it playable enough to give to people this weekend, but by any reasonable sense I did quite a bit! Going to leave it here for tonight. #GodotEngine
