AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 05/10/2026Using a model and animation set by the wonderful @kaylousberg.bsky.social (check them out) I have implemented a basic knight opponent. A high armour opponent but not too fast. I will have to figure out what level ups actually do. It's coming together nicely at least 💙 #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 0122
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 04/10/2026Last of the 17 weapons done; dagger, scimitar, short sword, and zweihander. I guess I better start making something to swing these things at. The animations aren't perfect, but they're good for now 😅 💙 #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 192
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 04/10/2026Almost all weapons implemented in the most basic way. I hope to make 4 animations for the melee weapons, so the animation it does is based on the motion you're doing at the time (forward, back, left, right). May have to start making something to hit. 💙 #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 0112
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 03/10/2026Spent a large part of the day trying to find the source of a bug in animation stuff I was getting, so I changed how my nodes work to avoid it in the end. On the plus side, everything is working smoothly now? Anyway, time for sleep 💙💤 #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 072
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 03/10/2026Doing the important work of improving the animations on the fireball tome. Also made the magic staff. Tempted to make an open world with some basic RPG elements... Because I never learn my lesson😅 Regardless, am enjoying making stuff! 💙 #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 081
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 02/10/2026A slightly better view of the weapon kickback when attacking and an idea of the spread of different weapon attacks I have 16 different weapons vaguely chosen from the low poly models I have and I am slowly making their most basic animations in animation player nodes 💙 #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 0132
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 02/10/2026Made the necessary parts for a fireball spellbook, including splash damage with falloff. I've decided for the time being to make it medieval high fantasy, as I already have a number of low-poly medieval weapons. I am still undecided about RPG progression stuff. 💙 #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 072
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 01/10/2026Rosie being cuddly. She has been extra adorable lately 💙 030
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 01/10/2026My start experimenting with Cyclops Level Builder, and making first person shooty/slashing thing potentially. I am still undecided if I want it to be sci-fi or high fantasy. My first inclination was initially something reminiscent of Hexen II but still not sure. 💙 #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 0133
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 26/09/2026I'm relaxing, trying to come up with stuff for my D&D game. Adventures! 030
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 26/09/2026Hung out with good company today 😄 Outfit was nice on a cool day 💙 071
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 25/09/2026My fit for the concert I was at tonight. I went home early coz 🌈dysphoria🌈 decided to ramp up. But it was nice that I ran into a friend while I was there and saw one of the bands I wanted to. 0141
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 24/09/2026My Plushie Dreadfuls order arrived! I'm so happy with them! 020
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 23/09/2026Hello, is Allie. Hope you're all doing well and all your projects are progressing 💙 160
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 23/09/2026Experimenting with how zoomed in game is, using the older graphics. I'm gonna have to tweak some camera stuff still, but I think I like the old, lower res graphics, zoomed at 5x (so 32x16ish tiles per screen rather than 40x20 tiles per screen. It's also possible I just need good art 😂😅 041
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 22/09/2026comparison of the new vs the old look... I am feeling like I like the old look a bit better, the new look feels too big and blocky, yet the old look I feel like rooms a bit too big coz of screen size... I think I've lost faith in myself and the project as a whole unfortuantely forthe moment 💔 132
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 16/09/2026New tiles for the metal areas, now it looks aged and worn! Plus new enemies like the drop fish as I call it. I am attempting to add a little more visual information to make screens just a touch more distinct from each other. #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 082
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 16/09/2026New an improved bandit robo, they even crouch to shoot you if you're crouching (because previously they'd shoot over your head if you crouched 😄) I'm bereft of ideas for what kinda enemies to make for the different areas currently, alas. #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 372
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 16/09/2026Pillbug enemy! Not a big threat, but is a big guy! The little leapy dudes can stay small, since they're more like an environmental hazard than an enemy :D #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 061
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 15/09/2026After updating Cowboy Robo, the height of projectiles when standing/crouching were different. So I did a new enemy, a beetle thing. A charming lil guy imo. Can still throw dynamite and jump and shoot down, but I need to consider enemy height for this stuff. #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 0121
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 15/09/2026new, possible even improved Cobwoy Robo sprite. Mostly because I made another sprite and thought "this kidna style for the robots feels good, I'm gonna try making the Cowboy Robo fit it" #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 0132
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 14/09/2026Decided to test out a basic first boss of "destroy the things" and I think I like this as a first boss, doesn't rely on tricksy stuff to get through it. Also like that it isn't super long, doesn't wear out its welcome. #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 0193
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 13/09/2026I made big sensors that follow you. Still trying to experiment a little with what the boss might be. Something with sensors no doubt. Also just glad to be working on it again :D #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev 0111
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 13/09/2026First boss tentatively being designed for Cowboy Robo I'm walkin' 'ere #Godot #GodotEngine #gamdev 070
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 05/09/2026Getting ready to spend my Saturday with family, should be a lovely time. I have gotten my discord bot to be testable on my local machine again, so I have yet another avenue for coding adventures again. I have spent the morning doing a bit of cleaning on her. 120
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 04/09/2026Slowly feeling less sick. Really need to get back on the game dev horse. Need ideas or inspiration... 020
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 28/08/2026All the serotonin is in one song and making D&D stuff at the moment 😅 I know I need to get back on to Cowboy Robo but tasty serotonin... 070
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 16/08/2026I been making Cowboy Robo, with zero AI involved. I have been progressing slowly lately, but I always enjoy making stuff. 040
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 12/08/2026I am sick but managed to have a shower which helped so much towards feeling a bit better 💙 050
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 31/07/2026First pass of the map for Cowboy Robo is officially complete, all the transitions work, all the map coordinates are correct. Now I'm gonna have to think about enemies, set pieces, item placement. The rest of the owl... Still, positive progress! #GodotEngine #gamedev #metroidvania 1102
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 31/07/2026The skeleton of Mt Corel and Sciencium Mines are done, 62 rooms. Next is the Lamium Mines and the Pirate base, and then I can start iterating on the individual rooms for enemy placement. I am lost on what to make for bosses. I should collaborate with others 😅 💙 #GodotEngine #gamedev #metroidvania 090
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 30/07/2026Tired but got stuff done today. Will hopefully post some more progress on Cowboy Robo tomorrow after doing some more room scenes 💙 Biggest thing is I did my own camera movement stuff and it appears to work pretty darn well in most cases. Anyway, have a good night/day everyone. 💙💙 060
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 30/07/2026Meanwhile I haven't played it in 11 years, I should look at how its changed... 000
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 30/07/2026Doctor's appointment soon, assuming Rosie lets me go in 40 minutes 💙 120
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 29/07/2026So because I couldn't shake the feeling everything was too spacious/drawn out, I have made the rooms smaller. It's now 299 screens in the map (in theory, so far), and is 40 different rooms implemented. I also redid how room transitions work so its less work to change where room transitions point. 040
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 28/07/2026I'm getting the feeling that these rooms are too big and empty, even though I havent started placing enemies. Just a whole "these are large spaces" feeling as I traverse to make sure the transitions and stuff work. Am I thinking this too pre-emptively, I'm not sure 011
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 26/07/2026D&D ran, now time to hang out and get dinner with friends 💙 050
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 25/07/2026The first twenty rooms of Cowboy Robo have been implemented; their map data shows correctly and transitions between each room are working. The rooms are empty of enemies and are primarily placeholder at this time, but it will be easier to go back and iterate on it once I have each scene set up. 💙💙 030
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 25/07/2026Blood on the Clocktower game at my house has fallen apart due to winter sickness, so I am being conscripted to play boardgames later 😂 030
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 23/07/2026Estrogen implant: implanted I'm now home and prepping D&D scantily clad, as is tradition. 3144
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 22/07/2026Made sprites for gates, and grabbed some sfx and put it all together. They won't normally open on approach, but I had to test them in game. Now I have to rejig this area because I messed up making it fit the map I designed 😆 Cowboy Robo progress hopefully continuing, with many placeholders. 071
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 18/07/2026Rosie is demanding cuddles, while also lying over laptop. She is a baby, but also a menace. A cute menace. 040
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 15/07/2026My cards have arrived... Now I just need to make something worthwhile so my website might be worth pointing to 😄 170
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 10/07/2026This inspired me to actually think about these things, how I interact with people and their labour/work. I am no scholar, it is a little verbose, but the exercise I feel made me understand a little better why I want to support people where I can. 161
AnomAllison @anomallison.com · 10/07/2026I am surrounded on all sides by cool stuff people make, and I wanna support everyone. You all make such good art and games and content and writing. This humble gal appreciates you all and hope I manage to be half as cool as everyone else manages to be. Please pay people for what they make. 💙 0131
