Get excited, we're doing one of these again. I've been busy and have some fun stuff to show off. See you Sunday night!

I'm learning that a terrifying amount of things break when I remove the 60 FPS cap. Kat discovers that her true enemy was the player and decides to take things into her own hands.

Status effect rolls in TTYD were always a bit opaque. The game does not plan on ever telling you that fuzzy has a 20% chance to ignore freeze effects. In an effort to make things simpler, I've actually made them more complex :) (1/5)

Inside of me are two game developers; one wants to be responsible and finally finish building chapter 1, the other is dangerously close to spinning up a modded Factorio game again.

TTYD had an under-used system wherein multiple copies of the same badge would yield some different effects. I'm expanding on that concept in Paper Robot with "Overclocking." Special modules will increase the effectiveness of nearby modules, like x2 for an HP Plus, or a stronger version of a move.

The second round through chapter 1 is progressing. I keep deciding to add more stuff to each area which is... great? I guess? Still hoping to have a playable demo in a few months.

I've been putting it off for weeks, but Paper Robot finally has a preview trailer. This is meant to give people a quick look at what sort of game I'm building, in an easily sharable package. Still plenty of work to be done, but it IS getting done. A million tiny things. youtu.be/tt7ia1MX9xs

Bitmap font! It took a little fiddling to get everything to line up, but my paper RPG now includes hand-drawn lettering. I tried to capture the feel of the Pop Joy font used in TTYD, I might need to go a bit thicker on the strokes and see if it's a bit more legible.

This is exactly the sort of dumb joke I want in every corner of my game.

I think I'm finally starting to get a foothold into shaders in Godot. This vertex shader is pretty straightforward but it's the first one I've made from scratch where I felt like I knew what was going on under the hood.

Before and after. As you can see, after hours of work, we have achieved "left-facing" state.

I should play SMM2 more. Not like, a LOT more, just like once every few months or so. www.youtube.com/watch?v=TV45...

Finally started playing around with Twitch's built-in alert system. CSS animations are fully supported, so you can do some fun things with it! I think hypothetically you could do some pretty out-there things with no JavaScript, but I still wish I could have a little JavaScript, as a treat.

Finally have the base set of items done. Three for health, three for energy, nine combos to stack those, and one revive. Next up, I need to get some offense items and the obligatory status effect cure items. Making a game really does come down to a million different little tasks!

So something I've been interested in for my RPG: what if TTYD badge system but inventory tetris? Someone talk me out of this, I have come up with plenty of cons but "it would be funny" makes a convincing argument.

I'm almost 5 months into this project and only just now added sound. I don't know if there's a word for the little blip sounds that play when text appears, but I love them. And I think I've found a decent way to make them more unique for each character without managing a hundred different files.

Hi everyone! I'm Dobbs, and I'm currently working on a Paper Mario/Bug Fables-inspired RPG about a little robot! I'll be posting more information about the plans and progress here.

Hello, world!
