Spent this week upgrading the base tab! Upgraded shops have more items for sale, along with increasing the passive revenue gained. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Added the ability to upgrade your base shops! Max level is 3, and each level will add more items to purchase, along with increasing the passive revenue generated. #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Updated the shop LVL emblem, working on implementing the ability to level up shops #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Finished adding all the items to the DB. One group added are food mixes, which provide a 3 minute long buff to 4 different stats. These will provide minimal healing, but lots of stat buffs at a price #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Working on the items that will be in the new stores. The Pharmacy will allow you to buy a number of drugs to enhance Operators. However, overuse will result in addiction and overall stat loss #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Shop backgrounds are done, working on their contents next #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Spent this week upgrading the base menu! New shops can now be constructed, and recruitable Operators will have additional starting gear. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

New shops are in, working on their item lists now. Recovery enables you to retrieve gear off of lost Operators, you'll be able to go back to the point where you died and get a % of your gear back #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Adding more shops for the upgraded base, starting with the company logos. #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

I'm thinking of implementing a scrolling background for the main menu, going to need to find a clean way to cut out some clouds.... #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Finished implementing the Active Reload! Every time you succeed, you're refunded a portion of the energy cost, but the reloading timing speeds up to compensate. #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Working on the Active Reload skill for the Gunner class. Active Reload is a very underused mechanic, wish more games included it #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Finished implementing the Chain Lightning ability this week! Pairs really well with the corpse explode ability, great for clearing out mobs #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #gameplay

Got the Fragmentation Rocket working, also pretty happy with the results. Still working on a way to make the sparks align 1:1 with my wall decals #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

HE Rocket is in. Pretty happy with the way it works. #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Implementing the Gunner's rocket ability. Rockets will have variants, starting with HE, Frag, and Tandem. HE is splash damage, frag will launch projectiles, and tandem will have high single target damage. #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Implemented the class requirement for ability chips in the Base Menu. Class equipping functionality is pretty much done, going to go back and finish the showcase abilities next #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Updated the Operator Status panel that shows whenever you're equipping them. Always good to have things color coded to help with navigation #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Class chip functionality is in, working on base menu functionality next #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Updated the class badges for recruits. Thinking of adding some further sub-classes, but I'll worry about that later #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #art #games

Small, but important update implemented today: You can no longer place objects outside the map! Sometimes the obvious things to implement are right in front of you lmao #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Working on the place able turret next. There's going to be 3 variations: MG, Sniper, and shotgun. Each one will be powerful, but enemies that get near will aggro, and quickly destroy it #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Finished implementing the new Corpse Explode ability for the Mage class. Going to need to find a good balance for it where you can still spam it, but not infinitely #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #art #games #gameplay

Working on the corpse explode ability. Next step is adding a new explosion anim and some juicy gibs #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

Working on the class upgrades for Operators. Each class is going to be an overall archetype, with a focus on a variety of different builds within each class. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #art

Currently working on the class upgrades for Operators. When you hit lvl 15 you can choose between Gunner and Mage. Gunner abilities will be gun focused, while Mages will lean more into the abilities #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

The later levels in Creature Containment are going to have some more overt traps for the player. They've had it a bit too easy up until this point. #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Working on adding some curved walls to the game's tile palette. Will help add some more unique spaces to the game. #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

The Early Access release of Creature Containment will have lots of new enemy types, including Riot Goblins, who will act as a blocking force #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #shmups #shmup #games #gameplay

Finished updating my options menu. My original slider knobs kept getting their transformed changed to negative numbers?? I fixed it by just deleting them and putting in new ones. Unity UI lol #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games #art

Finally getting around to getting rid of the default Unity UI sprites for my options. The drop down menu took way too much time to get right, Unity UI can be such a nightmare 😭 #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #shmups #shmup #games #gameplay

I've been spending a bunch of time revamping my demo tutorial based off feedback. Which option would you choose? I'd 100% go for the instant action, ain't no way I'm reading all that. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #games

The Creature Containment demo is out!! Go play it now!! store.steampowered.com/app/3665260/... #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #shmups #shmup #games #gameplay

Spent this week implementing some new enemies. End goal is full danmaku. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev #shmups #shmup #games #gameplay

Adding a contact enemy (globule) that'll go with the new projectile enemies. Can't have a dungeon crawler without a good slime #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev

Working on patterns for new enemies. Going to be upping the overall projectile count after the prologue #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev

The Codex menu is now complete! As the player picks up items, kills enemies, and build shops, new entries will be unlocked. This is the last big feature for the demo, releasing it soon!! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev

The Codex tracking system is complete! There's now also a notification light on the Navi button to let you know when new entries have been unlocked. #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev

All Codex entries are in, working on adding the discovery functionality now. Items found in shops will be added as the shops are built, everything else will be unlocked after encountering it in-field #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev

Chip Codex section complete, only more more section and then I'll be free from the lore mines #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev

Weapon Entries for the Codex are in, just a couple of sections left and then its back to polishing the demo for release #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev

Currently working on the in-game visual codex. As the player progresses through the game, entries will be unlocked, and more about the world will be revealed #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev #indiedev

Finished touching up the last Navi button for the Codex, Base Menu should be ~90% complete now #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev

Back from a two-week break! Starting work on the last Base Menu panel, the CODEX. This panel will be where most of the in-game lore will be found, can't wait to start writing entries for it #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity #indiegames #indiegaming #pixelart #solodev

Updated the way the player dies! Instead of standing there awkwardly, the controlled Operator will now explode upon death. It's a dangerous world out there #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #madeinunity
