Merry Christmas! We've been continuing to work hard on the game since our last update. Our 2nd boss is functionally complete (but needs its assets cleaned up and visual polish), and we've started to add Augments for our 3rd character (Artillery). #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Check out my upcoming video game on Steam! My friends are calling it “the best roguelike in the past 5 years.” store.steampowered.com/app/3618850/...

Hi everyone! It's been awhile, but we're still working on this! There were some tough-to-solve design problems with our game, which is why we stopped posting teasers so we could focus on them, but those problems have been solved and progress has gone smoothly!

We're LOOKING FOR A MUSICIAN that can make electronic music with a bit of industrial and rock elements. High energy and good basslines are also important! If you think your style is a good fit for our game, then contact us with some examples of your work!

Some Trinkets have been found to have special "Conditions", giving them additional properties! Some are simple benefits, while others offer some kind of trade-off... maybe a Trinket you wouldn't usually take is more appealing if it's Vintage! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Did you know? Every game that has ever been made would be better if it had a soccer ball in it. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Trinket: Big Red Button "Enemies have a chance to explode when killed" That would explain why it looks the way it does. It could be good, or it could be bad. Make sure to keep your distance! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Some people were glad when the pigeons finally left our city. They had no idea what was coming. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godot

New marketing scheme #genius #goodidea

When entering checkpoints, you will occasionally come across a Recycler, allowing you to exchange one of your Trinkets for a different one. The types of deals they offer can vary, so always be sure to check them! #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godot

One of the many Trinkets that have been recently added: the Laser Pointer. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Another example of an Augment for Scraps: Conductive Plating. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Here's a look at some of the hazards you'll find in the 2nd stage: The Wildlands. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Did you know?

Here's a look at our 3rd playable model: Artillery! Artillery is all about explosions! Their damage output is devastating... including against yourself. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Concept art -> In-game Not all of my concept art is this sloppy but sometimes it's just about conveying the positioning of things more than anything. This is also why you should make artist friends. - @guwahavel.bsky.social #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #godot

Sorry for the lack of teasers. We've been working on a lot of UI stuff that's boring to look at until its all in motion. Here's a little peek at what the main menu will look like. Start a run within seconds! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Some machines are incapable of straying away from pre-programmed trajectories. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Ball likes to go fast. (Though doesn't everyone?) #indiegame #indiegev #gamedev #godot

When I'm *slightly* more free I'll get around to drawin somethin actually good for @teamoglobin.bsky.social 's characters, cuz they're peak

Select your model! ...What do you mean there's only two of them?! You'll have to come back later for more... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godot

If you make it to the Wildlands, you will have the first chance to enter a Crucible to obtain an Augment, powerful upgrades which each character has their own exclusive selection. The goal is for each one to change the how the game is played!

Did You Know?: The Walking Turret enemy used to be able to summon reinforcements. If exploited by the player, this could allow them to spawn so many of them that it lagged the game. To fix this, the Walking Turret enemy was scrapped and replaced by the "Strolling Shooter".

Trinkets in Limelight Directive are stackable, so here's an example: Gunpowder is a Trinket which increases the radius of explosions. You may be tempted to use it to make the size of your Blast massive, until you remember it affects EVERY explosion.

Each stage will have checkpoints which give you some basic resources, but more importantly an opportunity to open a Package. Within these boxes, you will be presented several pieces of "worthless" garbage, referred to as "Trinkets", which you can take to gain various boosts.

Fun Fact: Scraps was originally planned to have a mouth in their design. However this was "scrapped" due to the fact that they would not stop screaming unless it was removed.

The Wildlands, the 2nd area in Limelight Directive. With wires for veins and dried grass for skin, most machines can trace the source of their energy to somewhere within. Being the only area that could be still considered "alive", things get gloomier from here.

Explosive confrontation! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

We have decided to revisit the core gameplay loop. Limelight Directive is now a game about kicking over piles of cans. We hope you enjoy. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Which one are you taking? (Trick question: You can take all of them) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Some visual improvements to Junkyard #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Day: 6/7 As you reach the end of a stage, the defenses will ramp up accordingly. Though I guess those guys slacking on the job didn't get HIS memo...

Day: 5/7 When facing off against stronger foes, you will need to use your stronger tools. Blasts not only pack a punch but also pack a variety of other utilities. What do you notice? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Day: 4/7 In the teasers so far, you've seen only the first playable model, known as "Scraps". But trust us when we say we have a diverse lineup of- Looks like that one is still in the prototyping phase. Something about "not being fully coded" yet. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Day: 3/7 Energy can be collected to boost your speed, and getting enough will allow you to blitz through rooms. All enemies drop energy when killed, but some enemies produce it when attacking as well. Wait... what's that guy doing? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #thingamabob

Day: 2/7 In the Junkyard, some situations resolve themselves. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Day: 1/7 Teamoglobin presents: Limelight Directive! A fast-paced action roguelike where you blitz through room after room of robotic foes, traversing through a world marred by pollution and waste. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame
