The bones of the lab area are done! Designing a maze that wasn’t just a walking simulator was tricky, but I think I did ok!

I’m reorganizing the way I handle rooms in my game, which will be better in the long run, but boy there’s a looooot of debugging to do in order to switch to the new system.

I've been working on controller support, and I'm most of the way done (on the duel screen), but boy for something so important controller support is the least rewarding. Nothing to show or even talk about because it does nothing new at all. Hundreds supported very soon though.

Does anyone have any good tutorials for programming a control mapping menu? I’ve got it figured out myself, but the code I have in mind is gonna be loooooooong, and I feel like there must be a shortcut.

Like many games, you’re kinda supposed to go right at the start of my game. But I do have some cute hijinks planned for if you go left. ;)

Working on the look of the platforms in their "off" states. I want the player to know where the platforms are without overcrowding the visuals. I could probably clean it up more by reducing the amount of platforms, but alas.

Merry Christmas! Took some time today to work on a decipherable number system for the game! I based it on the way I thought a cat might count in Base 10. Can you figure out how to write 1 - 10?

First draft of the Library area is coming along! The player encounters this area early on, and the books contain clues for solving puzzles later in the game (clues will change depending on if the player is in a living or ghost state).

Would loved to have done some

today but instead spent my free time fighting my
#insurance
company to PUT ME ON MY OWN POLICY. “It’s kind of confusing” IS IT?? I have a law degree! A literal doctorate in understanding fine print! If you can’t explain it to me I’ve got bad news for you.

Not that I can tell you what to do, but definitely go check out
@oasisdreams.bsky.social
. Just finished a couple rounds with the dev, and they’re on to something for sure - a whole hour flew by and I barely felt it (see below for documentation of my crushing defeat lol). I had a ton of fun!

Hey
#gamedev
#indiedev
community: can anyone recommend a good
#laptop
for game development? Yes, I do need it to be a laptop (sorry). Under $1500 would be ideal but don’t shy away from recommending higher if you think it’s worth it.

#music
! Lots of
#videogame
style music, but also some lofi and chill beats amongst the albums as well. Enjoy!

The object I coded to play the game’s music wasn’t working, so instead of changing the code I made it a tiiiiiiny pixel-sized object and hid it behind the player and… now it works perfectly? Sure.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on mystery/decipherable languages in games? See, e.g., Fez, Tunic, Heaven’s Vault, etc. Yes? No? I enjoy them, but I also enjoy any game that requires you to keep a notebook handy, so idk.

! Switching between the player’s living and ghost mode now switches the rest of the environment too! At least, in this area it does.🙃 Baby steps!
