Found infos about stairs in top down game. Enough to start playing with the concept. It looks like in Zelda they're mostly cheating, easier for them with their almost 100% top-down view and bottom walls. Found this article which helped too […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Ok, I'll admit it, those particles were just a ruse to have an easier time working on that next feature :P Covers ! Getting close to cover points lets you shoot over them (but enemies can do the same). I also played a little with covers having a […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Bullet particles ;) #gamedev #myrne6313 #myrne6313_gameplay

Every single level design tutorial/course/tip ever made : - "Here's infos that only apply to the vertical axis of games, do you understand how important it is to use that axis? Your level will be utter shit if you don't" Me, working on a flat, top down pixel art game "....." Kuddos to […]

Reworking the dialogs UI again^^ I'm never happy with it, but it's getting better with each iteration :S #myrne6313 #gamedev

Alright, I might actually really like that menu now that it has content (*_*) #myrne6313 #gamedev #pixelart

Working on the Main Menu. I'll settle with something simple first, I just need a place to add options for the upcoming (one day, maybe ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ ) demo. Testing with no options is annoying, especially now that I added sounds to lots of actions^^ […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

"the #ai bubble is driven by monopolists who've conquered their markets and have no more growth potential, who are desperate to convince investors that they can continue to grow by moving into some other sector... when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut […]

I was sick this week so I had plenty of time to read. Finished Book of the Long Sun and got to that masterpiece now :) It doesn't exist in french so I was a little worried but it's actually kinda easy to read. I wonder if I could have read BotNS in english xD Can't put it down. #book #genewolf

Working on the demo content like I said I would... A miracle \ô/ It's so good to see everything I've worked on for month "click" like some puzzle pieces. I'm currently working on the on-boarding. Then I'll have to work on the quest monitor, debt […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Me, two days ago: "I'll now focus entirely on productive stuff that will end up in the demo! No more distraction !" Me today : "Oops" #gamedev #myrne6313_gameplay#myrne6313#myrne6313 #matrix

https://store.steampowered.com/app/2949320/Ratatan/ Oh god, that trailer :D #gaming

Did some lasagna. Wait... we can do projects that don't take 2+ fucking years? :O

Worked a little more on the day/night cycle of Myrne 6313 and how it can affect other visuals. I've added some windows and lights now adapt to the time of the day #myrne6313 #gamedev

No gif tonight, fighting with some doors ;) #gamedev

*Hear a cool historical thing in a Youtube video* Nice, I'll post it to <friend that may find this funny>! *Do a web search to get some text version of it* First result: "<cool thing> is a myth, it never happened" Every. single. time :D

Trust me or not but a fully working clock is actually part of the "mandatory gameplay needed for a demo" I talked about :D Unlike the real stuff though, you'll want time to pass as slowly as possible while you try to complete your silly and […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Made progress on the office. Painting the front door was so much fun, I think the game needs more single use assets like that Next, I'll work on gameplay, I still need to get some core loop working and I'd like to release a demo this year, but I kept […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h7UkpczHcp8 Such a wholesome game, can't wait for it to be finished to finally play it again :) #gaming

Worked on some room variations. I'll need to create new office assets next. It's very limiting for the moment but I think I have already a solid base to start some level design and creating the layout of this "dungeon". #myrne6313 #gamedev #pixelart

Anyone has an idea how I could (preferably by using ShaderGraph but other solutions are welcome too) avoid this? When pressing against a wall, the stuff in hand can be seen passing through. My previous solution is cumbersome and I'd like some simple […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

I started working on a new "biome" btw I'm still struggling to set the Office theme like I'd want it to look because I have to work with zero reference material. But we'll get there^^ I basically want... some... Dying Earth (Jack Vance) stuff […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Took all my lunch break but my prefabs palette now display properly textures that aren't 16x16 and I added some fallback if the atlas preview is empty (it then use the first tile). Not a very meaningful change but working with clean tools makes me happy :P #unity #gamedev

Imagine a world where Unity would use (0, 0) as the top-left corner, always, everywhere :O One can only dream though...

Strolling on Reddit, making some comment about people still using Twitter on r/gamedev Got downvoted to death :S Okay, looks like people don't like being compared to nazis when they advertise inside a nazis' den :P

The president of the United States is posting messianic apocalyptic threats to the propaganda platform he owns and there's not a word about it at NYT, @washingtonpost, @CNN, @npr, or @CBSNews. Only real coverage I've seen is by @thedailybeast.

I don't think I've ever seen this in a game before but I'm totally stealing the item weight indicator from Abiotic Factor :O See how some items have some stripes background behind them? It shows how weighty that stack is. It's subtle, you will not […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Every gamedev tip : "Never underestimate the importance of good audio in your game" Me: "Cool! How do you do that? Where can I learn / start ?" ..... ......... Hello ?... #gamedev #audio

Made some progress on the Seeking behaviour of NPCs. The NPC (on top) lose track of the target (bottom and then hide on the right). He maps the area. He'll then (still have to develop that^^) explore that area in hope of seeing the target. The hard […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

It's hard to show you the work I'm doing right now as I'm basically rewriting the whole AI to do the exact same thing than before... but more efficiently. I'm writing a State Machine because it became impossible to improve NPCs AI anymore without it […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

When any random screenshot you make from your game is usable, then you know you're on the right track and nearing the finish line 🥰 #indiegamedev #gamedev Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/3403540/... #turnbased

Finished some code cleanup before the big stuff : I'll replace some awful code by a State Machine as managing NPC behaviour has become a nightmare. I was working on aggroed NPCs following you when you change Room and it will just won't cut it with […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

"That ground is ugly". He noticed, after having posted his toot. "Maybe I should just post a new version and pretend it never happened," he added thoughtfully. #gamedev #myrne6313 #pixelart

Ok let's try to make gifs that actually show what the game is about :D I've reworked the nature assets, kinda finished the mage enemies (still a little buggy with their cast) and I implemented fireballs (you can see I have some magic wand in my hotbar^^) #gamedev #myrne6313 #myrne6313_gameplay

It's annoying to test fireball behaviours from an NPC.. Let's add a wand so I can test it myself. Isn't it weird though? You get those powers but it's the wand that decide what you cast? My sicko brain : Here are a TON of cool ideas about a totally not feature creep dev that would take […]

Do you have some main gif or something that you show to people when you have to show them what you're working on ? Do you keep it updated ? I often get in situations where all I can show people is some shitty gif of some minor feature I recently worked on. Everything else is so quickly […]

Okay, I promise this is the last time I post about those wooden barricades as most of you must be sick of seeing them everyday by now :P I finally got to a good solution to manage these things that aren't really alive but still behave a lot like […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Finished the code cleanup necessary to get these bad boys to have hit points. Still not super satisfied with it as it's somehow health but also not... (an attack doesn't do a number of damages, it remove one hit point). But I guess perfect is a […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Toujours aussi super :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_i2qDWkLuZo #animaux #canards

People that never did gamedev: "Is working on a game really that harder than normal dev ?" Me, tonight: "Okay, let's make it so barriers have hit points now instead of being one-shot" #gamedev #myrne6313

I finally took some time to work on the screen resolution. I feel it's a problem without an universal correct answer but I'm happy with what I came up with. I've added some border bars to force a 4:3 ratio to the game. I think it's good for the […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Morning Folks. This morning, I complain about the continued existence of the humble Wisdom Scroll and, more importantly, the larger practice of unidentified loot in ARPGs. It is time for it to go, because it is mostly just busywork. Wisdom Scrolls Need to Die […]

I took a few days off but didn't get much gamedev done sadly: too much to do in the house and garden, and the lack of sleep due to heat is brutal :S But still managed to work a little on all the cool "Room" stuff. Enemies will follow you around, some […] [Original post on mastodon.gamedev.place]

Can't wait for the full release. I bought it at (early-access) launch and it's one of my biggest expectations. The first part of the game was really great :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7TXKZ1C0FU #indiegame #rpg

Alternate caption idea was “society if subway ads were banned”

Oh great, more enshittification from Discord. Now they send you private messages to tell you about server boosting. Huh, guys... Thanks for letting me know but you know I KNOW about boosts, right? You put ads for it everywhere all the time... Trust me, if I didn't buy it it's not because I […]

Erm... okay :D (From Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon last patchnote) #gaming
