Started working on this boss long, long ago. Now I'm finally going to finish it

A little bit of gameplay footage from Bat Galaxy. Some new stuff, but also some old stuff. All still in progress.

As part of my never ending quest to get a demo of my game out, I've been working on another free roaming area for Bat Galaxy.

After waiting years for a new Star Fox, I got impatient and started making my own game. Years later, there's another Star Fox 64 remake and I'm still working on my game

More indie games should have level select screens with little 3D worlds

Showing off a mix of shmup and Star Fox style stuff as I get pretty close to releasing a demo

Haven't posted in a while, but here's a little assortment of clips from Bat Galaxy.

Working on some connections between different zones. This is still rough, but it's coming together. #gamedev

Polishing up a demo level for Bat Galaxy. Need to fix a few things and make some performance adjustments. #gamedev #indiegame

A totem style dude that'll require the player to get close to take them out. #gamedev

Got a big waterfall and I'm definitely going to sneak something good behind it. #gamedev

Doing some work on a segment of the first stage of Bat Galaxy. Needs some polish, but it's getting there.

A little sample of the gameplay I've got going in Bat Galaxy. Punching, targeting shots, barrel rolls, exploration, and more.

You can feed the little critters in Bat Galaxy (because petting them with a spaceship would be too hard). #gamedev

These little dudes can drop decoys to mess with the player's lock on. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

A little bit of intense action in Bat Galaxy. #gamedev

Excessively wild area to test some new stuff. Rounds changing colors based on distance, destructible objects on the 3d mini-map (also colored by distance), quick turnarounds, and more. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

I designed this dude a long time ago but never got around to actually testing him out in-game. Finally sat down for some gamedev this weekend and tested him out.

Back into gamedev after a bit of a hiatus. Working on some patterns that'll require the player to dodge and weave through later in the game.

Bat Galaxy is becoming more of a weird mix of Star Fox and Zelda. Now I've got Zelda-style doors that unlock after clearing a room. #gamedev

So my game is slowly going beyond being just a Star Fox style rail shooter and I'm adding metroidvania-ish and Zelda-ish dungeon style exploration to it. #gamedev

Gradually working towards a demo for the upcoming KS. Working on a waterfall area now. #gamedev

I think this is the first time I was included in one of these. Feels pretty neat

Tweaking this portion of an intro segment a bit. #gamedev

I added a shmup-like feature: destroying an enemy also destroys their shots. #gamedev

More gamedev work today. I intentionally made this area a bit chaotic to show off the shmup style action in Bat Galaxy.

Reposting some old #gamedev stuff here just so people know Bat Galaxy has plenty of other content

Doing some gamedev and modified this guy to be more intense. (First upload was bad quality)

More gamedev progress this week. Added one way doors that can be knocked away as well as enemies that use the same mechanic. Also improved the target shots a lot

Some more gamedev progress. Been meaning to finish this dude's implementation for a while. He can dodge some basic shots and the easiest way to take him out is knock his shots back.

I can finally post some proper game dev progress here. This video shows how some little dudes hang in front of the player's view and forces them to engage.

Basically finished implementing the lock on in my game, Bat Galaxy. It's useful for pivoting behind targets to hit their weak point, and it automatically adjusts distances for things like bosses.

Saw the original clay models and design docs from Earthbound this week. I first played it almost 30 years ago as a kid and had no clue what I was doing, but kept coming back to it later and it ended up influencing my decision to get into gamedev. I feel incredibly lucky to have seen this stuff irl

Doing some gamedev for Bat Galaxy today. Punching the handle on this gate spins the handle and opens it up.

Doing a bit of gamedev 🎮 work tonight and designing something inspired by old Yes album covers. I feel like it's a good combo with Star Fox style action. (And yes, the text is test dialogue :)
