Selecting and placing road tiles manually sure is tedious! So I added a more convenient method. Now it's a breeze! #gamedev #indiedev

#ScreenshotSaturday Sometimes goal portals are locked, and you need to find a key to activate them. While any cat can pick up a key, only the protagonist can enter the portals. Wishlist Copy Cats on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4700300/... #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #cats

First look at the overworld editor! It shares a lot of code with the level editor, but it's a separate program. Basic stuff works, but I can't save/load yet, and obviously I need to make the overworld work in-game. #gamedev #indiedev

this originally started out as a bug but then i figured - why not let the user swap between painting all shared hard-normal verts at once OR individually for crispier edges! (actually so happy with the radial segments that rotate to match the position of each vert face lol 🥵)

I've been posting some old concept art/sketches over on Ko‑fi! Why don't you check it out? ko-fi.com/labbed #gamedev #indiedev #conceptart

Working on the overworld/level select mode, which means I need a new file format, which means I need a new editor, and graphics, and... 😵 #gamedev #indiedev

For some reason this part makes me laugh 😂 Should I keep this ceiling thnail in the finished game? #gamedev #indiedev

I got myself a Ko-fi page! I posted a video there, just showing some gameplay. I will use Ko-fi to share some more in-depth dev stuff, like concept art and WIP assets. Please check it out if that sounds interesting! I could really use some money right now. Any amount is appreciated! ko-fi.com/labbed

Not sure how exciting this is to anyone, but I added a couple of event script functions that can trigger other events, synchronously and asynchronously. Comparable to custom subroutines or functions. Yay! #gamedev #indiedev

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade

Added a hum sound to the heart piece, so you can hear its presence even when you can't see it. (🔊sound on!) #gamedev #indiedev

Border boxes. Could come in handy some day! #gamedev #indiedev

Collecting heart pieces. #gamedev #indiedev

Collecting heart pieces. #gamedev #indiedev

Some levels will have a heart piece pickup (increasing your max life), but if you've already collected it and you revisit the level, you will get a heart and some coins instead. I think I accidentally made it super satisfying? #gamedev #indiedev

Happy Easter, everyone! Did you know LabChirp has a couple of easter eggs? Did you find any?

Added heart and coin pickups. Enemies can also drop these when they die. Suddenly it feels much more like a game?? #gamedev #indiedev

Added a health bar HUD.

And the last portal/transition type: doorways! I'll make the actual entrances look better later, don't worry. #gamedev #indiedev

Pastblast: From back in the days when I was painting ACEOs - Art Cards, Editions and Originals, small paintings measuring 2.5 x 3.5 inches - "Snow Nap" was one of the results. This painting of a fox napping in winter and aware of your presence was done in acrylic paint on canvas-textured paper.

Game design that players won't notice. If enemies are too close to the entry, they are secretly moved away a bit. #gamedev #indiedev

Working on portals/room transitions. There was a bit more to consider than I thought at first, but I got something here that I'm happy with. Gonna add doorways too. This video shows portals in all directions, and how it's gonna work with two players. I also updated the flap sound! #gamedev #indiedev

Hey fellow #gamedev people! If you need sound effects for your game, please consider LabChirp! It's free! labbed.itch.io/labchirp

Small thing but I thought it was neat. I can now "place" the player anywhere when pressing the play button. Pressing play again will use the default start position. #gamedev #indiedev

Now that I have a raycast, I just had to make a 3D-looking raycast first-person perspective test just for fun. But then I saw these "holes" in my raycast system, which I hadn't discovered before. So fooling around like that can be useful, too! #gamedev #indiedev

Testing my raycast. #gamedev #indiedev

Man, I really wanna add pathfinding to my game, so enemies can be smarter, but maybe that's a bit overkill. Feature creep is a real thing to be wary of.

Pachinko! ... No, I'm not fooling around, this is a serious and important collision test!! #gamedev #indiedev

I've been focusing on optimizing performance and fixing some collision bugs lately, perhaps not the most exciting thing for most of you. But here's some progress I can show! I added a buzz sound to the Bautafly, and some VFX and SFX when they start chasing you. #gamedev #indiedev

I made the bautaflies keep a short distance from each other, otherwise they would all bunch up on the exact same spot. Wouldn't wanna break immersion like that! #gamedev #indiedev

To Whom It May Concern: Happy New Year!! Make it a good one, okay?

Introducing: Bautafly! Yeah, a game where you can fly everywhere will obviously need some flying enemies. Otherwise you could pretty much just fly over everything. Oh, and also, you can now peck mid-air! #gamedev #indiedev

Some screenshots from the new itchio page! #gamedev #indiedev

A little showcase with a HUD element created by the map script. A challenge timer in this case. #gamedev #indiedev

I can now display an animated text in the middle of the screen. #gamedev #indiedev

I'm still making progress on my game, just not very exciting stuff, like... Dynamic text. Wow! #gamedev #indiedev

Some fonts. #gamedev #indiedev

One thing I love about making games is creating these strange testing environments. This one is to test out stereo sound! #gamedev #indiedev

Been fixing a bunch of bugs, cleaning up code, adding in new sounds and effects! Not the most exciting thing in demonstration but its all progress to a demo! #gamedev #indiedev

Working on making the event scripting in my editor more convenient, with function helpers! #gamedev #indiedev

Reworked the sound system so it's easier to make sounds richer/more varied. Added material sounds and a more fitting hopping sound. Also, ice physics!! 🔊 Sound on! #gamedev #indiedev

Working on making the event scripting in my editor more convenient, with function helpers! #gamedev #indiedev

Mining is magic! #gamedev #indiedev

new paradigm

I can now make solid map geometry explode. #gamedev #indiedev

Thnail abuse. #gamedev #indiedev

That's better. #gamedev #indiedev

Sometimes it's nice to just look at your WIP stuff. These are supposed to be gates. #gamedev #indiedev
