Slime channel form in game, plus an updated look at how things are coming along. When Monster-type enemies are defeated Claire absorbs their essence in the form of skills :D In this example, killing a Slime drains some charges of the Sticky Punch skill. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #rpg

Working on a new Channel form for Claire; Slime themed for poison skills. I've done a bunch of UI work lately as well but I'd like to wait til I've done a bit more of the art for it just cause it's not super pretty right now, even though it's important and functional :)

I'm still around and still working on stuff but I un-social-media'd my phone so now I forget to post sometimes. Big things coming, perhaps even the same size as as the normal things I post...

Been quietly working on environment art. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #rpg

Idk enough about video game ratings, if I show someone smoking tobacco in my game am I now automatically at a mature rating and can use swears to my hearts content? I would hate to write in no swears hoping for PG or something only to be slapped with an MA 15+ cause someone smoked one time.

not done yet but demon allies fight alongside you using their own action card decks #aLt-Project #aLtProject

RPG has random encounters now. I want to workshop ways of making them less frustrating to normally people who aren’t desensitised smt doomers but for now we got nocturne encounter rate. Next is levelling up and then I can start balance testing the first little slice of the game!

SPEAK UP!!! WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER FRICKIN SOCIAL TO NUKE NSFW CONTENT ONCE THEY GOT ENOUGH USERS! CENSORSHIP ALWAYS LEAD TO BANNING QUEER, BPOC, DISABLED PPL IMPORTANT CONTENT NEXT!

Magic Trickery! 🐇🐇🐇🐇 This week's sneak peek -- Someone's attic and/or basement #gamedev #GodotEngine #godot #indiegames #screenshotsaturday

refactoring a major part of my game for the third time this month got me feeling like the “yes honey” Wojak.

Part of the intro cutscene, Steam page and teaser trailer coming soon #gamedev #indiegame #rpg

I have very little to show of my game at the moment but basically you can play through up to the first miniboss. The levels are all greyboxed at the moment and there's about 10 different cutscenes of varying complexity missing, but it's there.

NCOSE is an anti-porn, Christian morality group that used to be known as Morality in Media. They have campaigned against gay marriage and sex ed. They published an article called "Connecting the Dots: The Line Between Gay Marriage and Mass Murders". So yeah...anyway, KEEP CALLING PAYMENT PROCESSORS!

Little firey guys. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #rpg

I showed a friend my game for the first time and he immediately pointed at Claire and said “Bright red hair and a midriff, that’s my wife” which is about the best first impression I could ever hope for honestly.

Little bit more refactoring and battles can now take place in more than just one room! Currently pulling back a little and working on the beginning of the game. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #rpg

I've been experimenting with different UI mock ups to take a coding break, and this is probably my favourite so far. #gamedev #godot #rpg

Annoyingly now that I’ve decided to focus on a small playable section of my game to release as a demo I’ve started having really cool ideas about the end that I’m excited about and like nooo I have to make the rest of it first this sucks

Anyway here's what I actually came here to post lol. Started working on art for an outdoor scene. Still getting there. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine #indierpg

I played UNDERTALE just under a month after it came out, and I don't think I'd look at games the same way if I hadn't. There's something raw and unpolished about it that makes it so charming; it's perfect in all it's imperfections. I don't think my own game would be the same without it. Thanks Toby.

implementing everyone's favorite smt nocturne mechanic: enemy reinforcements #aLtProject #aLt-Project

I was interviewed by @anythingelselol.bsky.social about my FNAF fangames! Please check it out if you’re interested! youtu.be/mqaV63s0QxU?...

Gonna set myself the goal of having a fully playable demo of my game ready by Melbourne Games Week. I probably wont be at the event (this year) but at the rate I’m progressing I think it’s an achievable goal.

Brief sidequest to rewrite my status conditions system because it was causing all kinds of headaches. UI needs a little more juice still but pretty happy with it now. God I love Tweens. #godot #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev

Been working on the first Miniboss, which I figured would be a good benchmark for in-battle cutscenes and event scripting. Still very WIP but here's a sneak preview :) #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

So I started working on an Australian Godot server last year but ended up forgetting about it for awhile until the recent @godotengine.org community poll started some discussion amongst aussie community members. So I decided to finish it and open it up. discord.gg/wBZUEZrGRp #GodotEngine

I had a bit of an epiphany playing Deltarune that not everything in my game has to be perfectly hand crafted and polished and sometimes just lerping a guy around is not only easier but way funnier.

Not exactly real progress but it is cool that everything is still totally readable on a CRT. My HDMI converter is a bit rubbish so it’s cut off the party health bars and there some latency but other than that it looks great! #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

Deltarune has my spiralling what do you mean everyone is left handed…

Magic Trickery! 🐇❄️ ❄️ ❄️ FREEZING Dum and Dee! #gamedev #GodotEngine #godot #indiegames #screenshotsaturday

I just played through the first mini boss of my game in an early state. I think I finally "understand" exactly what kind of game I'm making. This fight started as a very loose concept and has now evolved into a dialogue heavy evolving gag and I like how natural it felt roughing it out.

It do be really cool that there’s a bunch of people making weird and interesting Turnbased RPGs in Godot.

Oh god we’re almost on Godot 4.5 and I’m still back on 4.2…..I need to update

you all don't know how many weeds i had to pull to make battles be repeatable like they are now #aLtProject #aLt-Project #gamedev #godot #SMT #JRPG

New battle UI #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #jrpg #godotengine #rpg

Been a bit busy with "Real Job" stuff but I've got Piper following Claire around in the overworld now, plus figured out a simple yet flexible system for handling cutscenes! Dialogue boxes need a little work still but probably fine for now. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

Deltarune Chapters 3 & 4 were absolutely worth the wait for me. Sat down and played them start to finish in one sitting yesterday. Several moments had me in stitches.

The Bishop transformation sequence from ABYSS X ZERO! (Placeholder/WIP voice acting by me and @ironfairy.bsky.social!!) We had a lot of fun making his transformation sequence! #gamedev #indiegame #lowpoly #madewithunity

Yeah pretty happy with this lighting model. Obviously all exaggerated for testing purposes, but will make some torches or something to properly light the scene tomorrow. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

Oh yeah, dithered point lights.

I think this is a good direction. Still want to do some kind of stylised lighting on the background but at the very least I'm happy with how the vibe is coming along.

appreciating some more quiet parts of my game.

i shit you not, i just looked this up: Twitch Plays Pokemon got the second badge in about 50 hours

It's kind of amazing that *just* adding a background makes this much difference. Need to figure out how to give the characters a little more "pop" though. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

Figuring out what to do about level design and stumbled on Trenchbroom and TBLoader. Both weird and cool to know that this is effectively a Quake map in my game. Might look into some custom lighting shaders to help it look a bit less flat. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #godotengine

A friend suggested the name "Piper" for the bunny cleric so he will now be known as Piper.

Finally player healthbars with some nice portraits (my first time doing like actual pixel art lol). Also did a bunch of tidying up and restructuring so now your party's health and resources are actually persistant. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

The 6:41am no caffeine thought to try and add Wii-mote support for my game purely because Claire’s shooting mechanic would kinda work with it.

I’ve gotten the “Gives Persona Vibes!” comment a few times and while I don’t really see it (other than that my game is an RPG with flashy UI) I assume it is meant to be a positive thing 😄
