Part 4 of making cutscene/events scripting language for #gamedev. Added ENUMS. They can generate as ints or strings (for now???). Works nicely with the custom syntax feature. #coding

Part 3 of makin custom #coding language for game ✧˖°. After STRUGGLING for a week, finally got custom syntax declarations working. 🎉 Since each project I use this for may require different structures for conditional statements/loops/etc., wanted a way to define them on a per-project basis #gamedev

Part 2 of making my custom scripting language for my game. Making a whole interactable demo for the documentation cause why not. The compiler is written in #haxe allowing me to export it as a JavaScript library that runs entirely on the frontend, making it just a liiiiiittle easier. #gamedev #code

So the programming language I'm working on is named "SillyScript". It's intended for scripting scenes in my games by generating JSON that the game interprets. It's technically more of a markup-language disguised as a traditional coding language. #coding #gamedev #dev #programminglanguage

Oh hey! Shout-out to a year ago when I would post almost daily. 😶‍🌫️ The October vibes are HITTIN, so I'm going to try daily posting my gamedev shenanigans again. Let's see if I can keep it up for the rest of the year. Please bear with me this first week as I finish making my programming language. 😅

LOOOL GG we absolutely not making it by Next Fest. LIFE TRYING TO STOP ME FROM MAKING ART BUT I WONT LET IT AAAHGH Anywho check out this sick af NPC dialogue thingy I made + tutorial wall of spears. I'm really happy with how my blender animation skills have improved ^^ #indiegamedev #godot #3d

BIIIIG PROGRESS: added doors. 16 days until Next Fest... #gamedev #roguelike #godot

Okay!! It maaaay seem like I haven't done much, BUT I wrote Steam descriptions, got page prepped, website/email registered. Bunch of small stuff I needed to get out of the way. + Finished FOUR environments for demo; some still need unique decor. 17 days until Next Fest... #indiegamedev #godot #3d

Added system for various decor objects like rocks and tall-grass (or seaweed for underwater world). Helps make the world look a little more alive! :D Still need to give them proper particles upon destruction. 20 days until Next Fest... #indiegamedev #godot #3d #roguelike

Sorry for no posts for the past monthish! Got burnt out; shouldn't have given myself crazy artificial deadlines. 💀 Still shooting to release the roguelike demo for Next Fest! Made some pretty good progress, so let's return to daily devlogs! 21 days until Next Fest... #indiegamedev #godot #3d

😎 Day 3.5/7 of Steam Demo Game Dev bruh ive been so busy with non-gamedev stuff past couple days. no progress, very sadj. since it's snowing, im calling them snow days and they dont count cool? cool. also fuck sharks, i like magic aesthetic so switching game's character to witch you cannot stop me

🕐 Day 3/7 of Steam Demo Game Dev Kinda finished skill making system AND IT'S BOOTY. It's confusing and clunky to navigate. But worst of all, it's boring and derivative. I can do better. #gamedev #ui

🪄 Day 2/7 of Steam Demo Game Dev The features I want to finish by day 7 are: * Skill making system (from randomly found components) * Random passive ability pickups * Overworld traversal system Was busy today, but got some progress on a skill-making menu: #indiegamedev #godot #ux #2d #menu

♻️ Day 1/7 of Steam Demo Game Dev One of the core issues with Codfather was the fact all turns ran simultaneously, making it difficult to determine turn order + why certain attacks missed (AND caused TONS of painful, overlapping sound effects). (1/2) #indiegamedev #godot #indiedev #roguelike #3d

New year new me. My goal was for Steam demo/page of Teleport Man out by Feb. Next Fest, but that's not happening. I enjoy Codfather development, so let's see if I can finish+release it as Steam game in 1 month. I'll allot 1 week to make Steam demo I like, if I hate it, I drop & don't look back. 😏

GOT 2ND PLACE. It was a small jam, so I was shooting for 1st, but the game that got 1st was actually pretty hype (and my game had a bug that made it unbeatable) so I suppoooose I shall accept this outcome. NEXT TIME WE WIN THO. #gamedev #gamejam #godot #haxe

🎀 Day 8/8 of Daily Game Jam Devlogs AAAND on final day I added sound effects, multiple enemy behaviors, & projectiles. There's A LOT I wasn't able to do, but at least I have something that feels like a game. XD You can play it here! itch.io/jam/haxejam-... #gamedev #godot #3d #roguelike #lowpoly

🐟 Day 7/8 of Daily Game Jam Devlogs OOOF was so focused I didn't post the final days 😩 Day 7 was spent making the tutorial area w/ readable signs AND finally implementing the rest of the UI. Built custom maps from reading pixels on Aseprite images. 😅 #indiegamedev #godot #indiedev #3d #lowpoly

🦈 Day 6/8 of Daily Game Jam Devlogs Character creator set up!! Species dictates your default skill, and class dictates your base stats (unimplemented ;^_^) AND YES I KNOW WHALE SHARKS HAVE SPOTS I LOVE THEM BUT I DONT HAVE TIME IM SORRY #indiegamedev #sharks #art #3d #godot

🪟 Day 5/8 of Daily Game Jam Devlogs Running low on time (only 2 more full days), but we're getting there! * Created player model (shark) * Added skill selection + target system * Blood particles! #indiegamedev #art #blender #ux #godot4

⚔️ Day 4/8 of Daily Game Jam Devlogs UNFORTUNATELY due to unforeseen reasons (christmas), I was unable to make BEEG progress, but I do some stuff. Attack system + turn process. Faster enemies can move before you attack OR take your spot before you get to it. #indiegamedev #3d #godot #rougelike

🚶 Day 3/8 of Daily Game Jam Devlogs Added: 1) Mini-map (uses ImageTexture.update) 2) Test enemies 3) CRT shader cause why not 4) 2 layer system The "2 layer system" is the game's main gimmick: allowing entities to swap between moving above or below... 🧵 #indiegamedev #godot #3d #rougelike

🚶 Day 2/8 of Daily Game Jam Devlogs SCHMOVIN ROUND DA WORLD (using the power of programming for the animations so I can just drop in a static player mesh later. it's a modular system that should be usable for enemies as well). #indiegamedev #3d #rougelike #godot4

⭐ Day 1/8 of Daily Game Jam Devlogs Taking a break from my daily game progress to participate in this year's winter HaxeJam! Shooting for an aquatic rougelike to maximize my replayablity score. Have basic map generation working (just a simple noise algorithm). #indiegamedev #godot #rougelike #3d

🪑 Day 70 of Daily Game Devlogs There are now 2 types of internal room gen: 1) Store-like generation with shelves in the middle 2) Room with random table + chairs (needs a bit more randomness tbh) Goals: - random lights - more textures - 4 more types #gamedev #3d #shaders #procedural #godot4

🍑 Day 69 of Daily Game Devlogs nice #indiegamedev #godot #3d #shaders #infinimall

🪜 Day 68 of Daily Game Devlogs Added stairs to generation.🪜🪜🪜🪜(why is there no stairs emoji wtf) The stairs, of course, use a separate ramp mesh for the collision because people who use literal stair collision in their 3d games are fucking insane. #indiegamedev #devlog #gamedev #shaders #3d

🏪 Day 67 of Daily Game Devlogs More procedural mall gen stuff. ▪️ Auto sign placements ▪️ Random doorway/room shapes ▪️ Generation based on room dimensions. Right now it just places a light in top center, but will be used to make room contents next! #indiegamedev #godot #3d #shader #procedural

📺 Day 66 of Daily Game Devlogs On a whim I decided to slap on a CRT shader (you know.. cause this is supposed to be a horror game or something) and I must say HOLY FRICK WAIT A SECOND THIS SHIT EATS SO HARD??? #indiegamedev #godot #3dplatformer #artshare #teleportman

🔫 Day 65 of Daily Game Devlogs I added a fucking gun. #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #godot #teleportman

🧱 Day 64 of Daily Game Devlogs That moment when you're hanging out in the infinite mall and you encounter the ominous, ever-moving wall that slowly creeps forever forcing you to keep moving. 😩 #indiegamedev #godot4 #art #horror #teleportman

🌇 Day 63 of Daily Game Devlogs WOOO MIDNIGHT DEVLOG!! Added textures and lights to my procedural generation. Starting to actually feel horror-y. Wonder if I should make the "mall" a level instead of the HUB world hmmmm. #indiegamedev #3d #godot #procedural #teleportman

🏓 Day 62 of Daily Game Devlogs Added first-floor, closed-in walls to my mall's procedural generation. OKAY YES I KNOW SLOW DAY AGAIN IT'S INTERNAL STUFF PEOPLE INTERNAL UPGRADES YOU WOULDNT UNDERSTAND #indiegamedev #art #3d #godot4 #teleportman

🦾 Day 61 of Daily Game Devlogs Slow day today, spent most of it polishing and optimizing the base procedural world pieces. Also added the ability to make a gap between the first and second floors of the mall. #gamedev #procedural #3d #godot4 #teleportman

🏬 Day 60 of Daily Game Devlogs Modeling a giant looping mall is difficult, so I'll do it procedurally! I took a slice of my giant loop, and separated it into pieces: back wall, front wall (top/bottom), ceil, floor, and two floor separators. (1/2) 🧵 #indiegamedev #godot #3d #blender #teleportman

✨ Day 59 of Daily Game Devlogs DONE WITH UI!! Time to work on the HUB world. The game will be similar to Mario 64 w/ HUB -> individual sub-worlds. Initially I was going to do an office building (like Portal), but now I'm thinking more of a GIANT looping mall? 🤔 #indiegamedev #blender #3d

✨ Day 58 of Daily Game Devlogs I WANTED THE BUTTON FOR STARTING A NEW GAME TO FEEL IMPACTFUL #indiegamedev #godot4 #animation #ui #teleportman

📝 Day 57 of Daily Game Devlogs New game options interaction programming done!! "Once this is DONE, I can finally escape the UI hell." <- lies i tell myself to stay motivated. But... perhaps it's true. Maybe... just maybe... I may be free. #indiegamedev #godot #2d #uxdesign #teleportman

📟 Day 56 of #Daily #Game #Devlogs oh yeah now we're cooking

🗿 Day 55 of Daily Game Devlogs help. what the fuck happened

📔 Day 54 of Daily Game Devlogs Set my project's default font to Wingdings. This'll help me track down all the places I was using Godot's default font and replace with a more appropriate custom-tailored option. #indiegamedev #godot #indiedev #font #teleportman

📔 Day 53 of Daily Game Devlogs Time to start working on the "new game" menu. Wanted to let the player choose the color of their sticky note... but the rest was kind of filler. 😅 THE STARTING GIFT WILL BE HYPE AND AN IMPORTANT CHOICE THO #indiegamedev #godot4 #digitalart #2d #teleportman

🦑 Day 52 of Daily Game Devlogs Not much visual progress today, so I share a little on how I do my ~wobbly~ outline shader. It's pretty simple: just simple outline shader, but output to texture, then overlay back on the screen with noise offset. (1/3) #indiegamedev #godot #3d #shaders #teleportman

💥 Day 51 of Daily Game Devlogs Added the ability to 💥💥EXPLODE💥💥 your save files. Chose to go with a "hold to confirm" system because I'm lazy af. (also testing .gif upload instead of video today, wonder if it actually loads or looks better??) #indiegamedev #godot #digitalart #2d #teleportman

😎 Day 50 of Daily Game Devlogs Wish I had something cooler to show for day 50, but spent most of it messing with my code editor theme. 💀 I DID finish the copy-file feature THO!! (Should I limit the number of save files a player can make??) #indiegamedev #uidesign #2d #godot4 #teleportman

✋ Day 49 of Daily Game Devlogs All right, with the new rotoscope animations done, time to use them for a fun sub-menu in the file-select! #indiegamedev #godot4 #ux #uidesign #teleportman

🖌️ Day 48 of Daily Game Devlogs Rotoscope Workflow PART 3 - FINDING THE WRIST So here's a question, since my character's arms are 2D rotoscoped animations, how do I know where to position the cloud bracelet? I shall explain in a lil thread 🧵 (1/5) #indiegamedev #3d #godot4 #aseprite #teleportman

🖌️ Day 47 of Daily Game Devlogs Rotoscope Workflow PART 2 - Drawing stuff. AAAND... here is me tracing over the live-action footage to create the animation!! In this case, the hand animation is going to used for a fun submenu in the file select. ~ #indiegamedev #animation #art #godot4 #teleportman

📷 Day 46 of Daily Game Devlogs Rotoscope Workflow PART 1 - Doing da live action stuff. By popular demand (by one guy), I made a two part vid on how I rotoscope. First is the live action footage. Especially important to ensure it loops prior to drawing. #gamedev #animation #digitalart #teleportman

🤖 Day 45 of Daily Game Devlogs Lots of code refactoring and updating today; sorry, nothing visual to show. >.< Sooo... uhhh... here's a little recording of my source file structure I guess (editor is Zed). Honestly more files than I thought I'd have at this point. #gamedev #rustlang #teleportman
