I'm testing out a new strains mechanic for Xenospore, in favor of older mechanics that didn't complement the main loop of the game. #indiegamedev #godotengine

I've finally succeeded in converting Xenospore to #Godotengine 4 It was a big challenge as the game relied on things that were changed completely in 4.0 Now I can stop fighting the older version and just focus on development. I've already made huge improvements to the UI!

*WIP* - Retouching the art for my game Xenospore! 🎨 I removed the black strokes inside the tiles and kept the black outlines to reduce visual clutter and make the design cleaner and more focused. What do you think? #indiegamedev #pixelart

Needed a break from my main project (don't worry, it's still being worked on 🙏), and made some fun improvements to my alien-isolation inspired retro game! #indiegamedev I created a (sort of) diegetic UI sonar. I think it turned out nicely! Graphics could be improved www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hdw6...

It's been a while! I'm working on new Mechanics for Xenospore, and I've had to refactor a big chunk of the game for this. Never have I been more proud to have worked hard on something that no one will probably ever know about. 🤣

Something like this should seriously be an officially funded Godot thing shouldn’t it? How is this left to the community to fund??

So I'm in the process of selecting new UI sounds for the game and the possibilities are endless! I found some UI sounds I liked but I got mixed feedback on them - some liked them, some thought they were a bit annoying. Any advice? #indiegamedev

A while back, I made a top-down 1bit-ish game inspired by Alien Isolation for a horror game jam. It was too ambitious so I couldn't finish it for the jam, but I did work on it for a while. I'm really digging how it turned out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOhk... #indiegamedev #pixelart #scifigame
