food. and a rock. the rock is also food. #pixelart

score counter #screenshotsaturday #godot

kinda getting the hang of this art thing idk wip obviously

Seeing multiple game companies I like come forth and say they are using gen AI in any capacity is making is incredibly upsetting and disappointing.

Added: - Tooltips on UI - Recipes(relics), which create additional food (buffs) or change grid behavior - Tip system (multiplies score a bit) - Overhauled Time/Risk - Simplified results screen - End of each week you get a guest which adds difficulty - Brand new SFX - Background updates - And more!

I played so many Roguelike Deckbuilders and Card games my steam replay is shaped like a playing card.

fun fact: making video games is hard

Furiously googling "how to market a video game" and then 10 hours later furiously googling "how to secure a publisher"

Working on backgrounds.

Current gameplay footage of Let 'Em Inn. People have played my game. They've liked it! Now there's plenty more work to do. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lzf_... #deckbuilder #gamedev #godot

Doing a closed alpha test for the game and waiting for feedback, so doing practice art. Here's a random portrait. #pixelart

Game characters. #pixelart

Made some updates to that splash animation I made earlier: #godot #pixelart

Made this lil' Godot animation yesterday. #godot #pixelart

Getting the rest of the character art like 80% of the way done for the demo I plan on releasing... soon! Very soon! Yes, that's right, before the end of the year. #pixelart #godot

Coins? In my video game? It's more likely than you think. #godot

Also made a ton of progress on mechanics and the core cards, which meant I had to make... like 20 new placeholders and the game looks like this now.

Working on the title screen... again. I am so bad at perspective I took four hours to learn Blender and create a very basic 3d render, then used that as the skeleton for this image. This is going to take the longest out of anything I think. Hope this looks cozy and inviting so far.

Basic actions must feel good. It's not even juice, because juice is pretty broad and encompasses a sort of energy/liveliness/satisfaction throughout a game. What I mean is if you are gonna press a button or move to the right 10 million times, it should feel amazing all 10 million times.

more weird little guys for the game #pixelart

Still working on the game, on the... relic system? Persistent, always-on modifiers that you adjust your strategy around. Have a burger and a drink.

Added a dialogue system for abilities and stuff. #godot #gamedev

Turns out video games look better with animation, who knew?

Game progress: - Small tweaks (economy and shopping) - Cool moving background I guess - Options menu works (video options + sound options) but no one wants to see that. #deckbuilder #indiedev #godot #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoC3...

www.youtube.com/watch?v=UB8q... Been quiet. Tons of updates for my UFO 50 Party House-like. - More music. - Updated title screen. - Refactoring shop screen. - Mechanics to make each round more interesting. - More abilities. - More particles. - Prolly other stuff idk. #godot #deckbuilder #indiedev

spent way too much time on this and its 12:30 AM and i'm posting it anyway dangit. #pixelart

www.youtube.com/watch?v=F4Z-... Game Progress: - Tons of small UI/polish improvements - Few more abilities - Art updates across the board (less WiP art especially) - Sounds for more stuff #indiedev #gamedev #godot #deckbuilder

Cleaning up a ton of placeholders/WIPs. Not all finished, but art is looking wayyyyyyy more consistent. (I gotta make some of the heads bigger, in retrospect). #screenshotsaturday #godot

works in progress/more cleanup #pixelart

Seer. Fortune teller. Orb beholder. I have her ability figured out but it's gonna be the biggest pain to implement so doing it last. #pixelart #godot

And the #GaymingAwards25 Best LGBTQ+ Indie Game is... Kitsune Tails! 🦊 So well deserved! Congrats @kitsunegames.bsky.social! Stream the full show on @WOWPresentsPlus.bsky.social! #IndieGame #LGBTQGaming

Pretty huge update to basically everything. Trying to get a very brief demo out by the end of the month. www.youtube.com/watch?v=EUU4... #deckbuilder #indiedev #solodev #godot #gamedev

6 months ago vs today. #pixelart

Aaaaad now the shop screen looks coherent, even if everything is half-finished at best. #godot #gamedev

Title/shop screen taking forever. #pixelart #wip

This feels much better. #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Long way to go with the UI, but this feels cleaner/more understandable. It's all over the place thematically, but I think using clean fonts is better than pixel ones. Will make translation easier too.

Some updates: - Tooltips - More abilities (score based on spaces moved, permanent removal, score based on when a guest enters) - More UI iteration - Shop now more of a "tech tree" rather than purely random. Graphics still mostly placeholders. Lot to do... #godot #gamedev #indiedev #deckbuilder

More ability prototyping. Swapping, kicking units back into your deck, pushing units around. #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Messing around with sound design and VFX now. Feels satisfying, I think. #godot #gamedev

Aaaaaaand first time I've done an actual animation in like 13 years.

Working on more Weird Little Guys... #godot #gamedev #pixelart

Still new-ish to scripting. Had to re-architect everything, but making progress with a targeting system that works both actively/passively and at multiple game states (when used, when placed, end of round etc.). Music, sfx, graphics, etc are all my work. #gamedev #godot

well at least this bug feels like a tavern brawl #godot #gamedev

If you draw enough Weird Little Guys your game will program itself. At least that's what I'm hoping. #gamedev #godot

Updates on my Party House-like: Basic shop implemented. Player stats/resources update properly. Game now counts turns. Numbers need some tweaking, but almost finished with the basic gameplay loop. #gamedev #godot

Very early progress on a Party House-like. Deck properly shuffles after you cash out and floating tooltips function (if poorly). The art is kind of all over the place but w/e. #gamedev #godot
