Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Been busy doing an online course on AI. It's fun, but it's also really tricky to make it play tic-tac-toe and minesweeper. 2) Finished setting up a new drone NPC. It projects shields around itself to protect allies. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Finished setting up the base code for NPCs with secondary weapons. They use them periodically based off a timer. 2) Next I want to try and make NPCs use abilities, like creating shields or summoning reinforcements. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Adjusted a few weapons and upgrades to work correctly and feel more interesting to use. 2) Began adding a second batch of NPCs and ship types. This includes enemies armed with Missile Launchers and secondary weapons. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) The code for Expansions has been added! They work differently from other unlockables, so I had to improvise. 2) Unique ship upgrades are being added next. These affect the player's ship, or multiple pieces of equipment. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Finally figured out how to set up the code for tacking general updates. Next comes actually adding them to the game. 2) Finished setting up the base upgrade for ordnance. I had quite a bit of fun coming up with them. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

Today's Game Jam report: 1) I joined a game jam hosted by Dokibird, and have been working with a team on our entry. It's a silly physics-based game made on Godot. 2) I've been learning a lot about Godot, especially UI nodes. Here's one of the screens I worked on! #DokiJam #GameJam #indiegamedev

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Adjusted the melee AI system. It will keep flying straight past their target, then turn around once it's far enough or hits a wall. 2) Their weapon was also modified to hit once every 8 frames instead of once per frame. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) Initial setup for "contact" weapons, which will deal damage when they collide with a target entity. 2) Additionally, work has begun on a melee AI system. It's a bit tricky to set up with the new pathfinding system. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev

A new update for Attrition has been released! Version 1.4.0 adds Gamepad support, alternative bindings, and a Screenshot system! Additionally, multiple bugs and crashes have been fixed. Download the new update here: lmg3864.itch.io/attrition #turnbased #strategy #indiegamedev #patchnotes

Today's Attrition progress report: 1) Decided to keep the text display for bindings. The icons would not fit correctly inside the old buttons. 2) Also added support for Borderless Windowed and Fullscreen Borderless display modes, as well as resolution settings! #turnbased #strategy #indiegamedev

Today's Aerostrike progress report: 1) I'm back! Work will resume on Project MF-02 for now. 2) On that note, I've been playing around with a new boost system. This one lets you aim while using the boost thrusters, at the cost of some speed while doing so. #metroidvania #bullethell #indiegamedev
