I cannot wait for #lvlupexpo #lvlup!

"Nothing personnel, kid." #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Working on some death animations for Thanatophobia #indiedev #gamedev #godot

In Thanatophobia, your overall success or failure will be dictated by your ability to protect the sectors of the military base you're defending. Lose too many missions or ignore a sector too long, and it will be completely destroyed. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

New playable version of Thanatophobia! This version includes weapon scarcity, variety, rewards from missions, mission generation changes, and bug fixes. Play now in browser - ryan-graef.github.io/thanatophobi... Discord with windows downloads: discord.gg/Fy9hqJXq6x #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Just gave my game's weapon management system a massive upgrade! Thanatophobia will be somewhere between XCOM's limited armory choices and Borderland's expansive choices. Weapons will have unique trade-offs and playstyles but also sometimes just straight upgrades. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

New update for Thanatophobia! This includes 3 unique mission objectives and scripting around each mission. Play now at: ryan-graef.github.io/thanatophobi... Or join the discord at discord.gg/Fy9hqJXq6x for a windows build.

Better defuse that bomb in time... #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Happy with where the UI is now. Might still need improvements. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Working on decluttering the mission UI for Thanatophobia. It had gotten kind of unreadable. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

In Thanatophobia, soldiers can now panic when they're fired upon. Of course, this example has the rate turned up to 100% and it will be far less likely in the actual game. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

New playable version of Thanatophobia! This includes the beginning of some (objectively troubled) sprite work and a lot of sound! You can play the game at ryan-graef.github.io/thanatophobi... Or join the discord at discord.gg/Fy9hqJXq6x for a windows build and more! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Happy with how the grenade visuals turned out! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Grenade out! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

SOUND ON! Thanks to @humblebundle.com's game audio bundle I was able to get some really great sound effects for what I'm going for. Here's some variety in soldier voice lines! Also beginning to toy with the animation, which I generally do suck at lol #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Skin colors are now randomly generated per soldier! Now to incorporate it everywhere else in the UI... #godot #gamedev #indiedev

New playable version of Thanatophobia! This version includes special attacks for the 4 primary weapon types and pistols. You can play the game at ryan-graef.github.io/thanatophobi... Or join the discord at discord.gg/Fy9hqJXq6x for a windows build and more! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

In Thanatophobia, shotguns will let you move to an enemy, shoot them point blank, and then move back to where you started all for only 2 actions. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

In Thanatophobia, soldiers have a chance to panic after taking damage and be be forced to move to a random location. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I've made progress on Thanatophobia's next special ability: suppressing fire. It allows the user to fire upon any soldier moving within its cone of effect! This is a little overpowered right now and pretty glitchy, I'm happy with how it's working out so far! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Every weapon type in Thanatophobia will have a costly "special attack" that can be used situationally. Here's the sniper: collateral. Bullet will pierce all targets along its path and deal full damage to each. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Soldiers can now "peek" one tile around corners and cover to get a better shot. Right now, this doesn't cost an action. Ignore Dude McGuy's terrible aim. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

New playable version of Thanatophobia! This version includes tweaks, bug fixes, and the experience system for soldiers, minus milestone perks. The game is also playable on the web! ryan-graef.github.io/thanatophobi... Join the discord for more discord.gg/Fy9hqJXq6x #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Unlike most other probability-based shooter strategy games, friendly fire is totally going to be a thing in Thanatophobia. Would you risk this shot? #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Upon completing a mission you'll now see this screen, complete with showing you the EXP your soldiers gained! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

New weapon! Large machine gun, specialized for damaging enemies in cover. There's now an example weapon for every weapon type that will be in Thanatophobia! #godot #gamedev #indiedev

It won't seem like much at first glance, but these few colored pixels in this progress bar are proof that troops can be awarded EXP in battle and it's saved between them. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

In my game, your soldiers will gain proficiency in 10 skills. Milestone points provide major unlocks. These specific unlocks don't actually exist in the game yet, of course. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

New Playable Version of Thanatophobia! You'll now be able to manage your troops over a series of days. Missions are also now dynamic and feature three unique tilemaps! Join the discord to download: discord.gg/Fy9hqJXq6x #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Different Tilemaps can be chosen depending on the area of battle in Thanatophobia. In the next playable update, you'll see three examples! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Thanatophobia will be played over a long series of days, with each night bringing a chance to be raided. You'll have to arrange your soldiers accordingly. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

In Thanatophobia, you'll be able to heal up your soldiers between battles by using specialized "MedBeds". I'll admit, this UI needs a bit of work! #indiedev #gamedev #godot

New playable release for Thanatophobia! Here, you'll be able to handle basic squad management and mission selection. If you'd like to playtest, head on over to the discord to download: discord.gg/Fy9hqJXq6x #indiedev #gamedev #godot

The last of the UI for now: mission command. From here you'll be able to see all available missions and choose one. Last step before the next playable build is wiring everything up, so you can actually jump into one of these missions! #godot #indiedev #gamedev

In Thanatophobia, you will be able to entirely customize your squad's loadout for the specific needs of each mission #godot #indiedev #gamedev

You'll be able to customize your squad between missions by swapping out active soldiers. It's not easy to show, but this is also now preserved across play sessions in saved data. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Happy with the look of this command center menu so far, though it's still in its infancy. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

The beginnings of the mission hub. What's that mysterious light? #indiedev #gamedev #godot

If you'd like to play the first playable build of Thanatophobia, join the discord below for the download: discord.gg/Fy9hqJXq6x #indiedev #gamedev #godot

My game is inspired by XCOM, but with a unique twist: the user has a lot more influence on hit chance than just soldier skill, distance, and cover. What's the hit chance of this shot? You can't really know. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Weapons have ammo now, and you need to spend an action reloading if you run out. #indiedev #godot #gamedev

I've been working on this for a little while, so I figured now is a good time to show it off a bit! #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Look what arrived today 😭✨️

It's weird that Looking for Alaska is the second-most banned book in the U.S., and mostly challenged by evangelical Christians, because the novel is about Radical Hope and how forgiveness is available to all people at all times, which are Christian concepts I wrote about because I'm a Christian.
