Is overlay like this button and label supposed to be on a CanvasLayer? If so, how do you position it correctly? Now it's simply a child of the player node, which feels like a hacky solution. #godot

Finally made a proper list of active expeditions so you can see the progress easier. Is the sidebar taking up too much space now, or am I just used to playing the game without it? #gamedev #godot

You're now able to take more risk by choosing how many cups of coffee to send on each expedition. Also, you can specifically serve coffee to your coldest guests, saving them from becoming frozen. #gamedev #godot

An early demo of Snowbound Café is out! Manage a group of people trapped inside a coffee shop, surviving on coffee alone. Let me know what day you reached! crimsonmoose.itch.io/snowbound-cafe #gamedev #godot

Facial expressions! 😯😩 Might have to improve the placement for the floating labels, though, as they cover a lot at the moment. #gamedev #godot

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

It's freezing outside! Keep warm with coffee. #gamedev #godot

071

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Even though I'm still in the middle of the retheme, changing to better character art made quite the difference 😊 #gamedev #godot

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

In the middle of a retheme. Which means I now have a radioactive coffee shop...? #gamedev #godot

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Systems getting closer to an MVP, but I imagine balancing will be hard. How do you work on balancing your game? #gamedev #godot

1122

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Added starvation when there's not enough food. I'm starting to feel a bit sorry for these guys while testing this mechanic... #godot #gamedev

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 24/01/2026

Building a card prototype of the underground survival game to see what works better. Can't believe how long it took to make this card dragging and rearranging to work correctly. Learned tweens, though! 😎 #gamedev #godot

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 18/01/2026

Clean unstable seeds from expeditions, grow food, and survive under ground. Main mechanics getting closer to a testable prototype, but it still has a long way to go to make the game readable for the player. Any thoughts? #gamedev #godot

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 07/01/2026

First time trying out lights in Godot, and added some flickering to them. Anyone know a good way to contain the light within each level here? For now it's just set to a convenient size to fit. #gamedev #godot

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 31/12/2025

Been practicing communication between UI and game world the correct way. Super happy with the results, even though it's not the most flashy visually 😁 #gamedev #godot

041

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Long live the stick figure! Added faster enemies on horses that smash into the castle. Simply having multiple enemy types actually makes the game feel a lot more real. #godot #gamedev

2246

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 19/11/2025

Going old school with this one. It's time to bring back the stick figures! #godot #gamedev

1182

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

UI with stats for each tribe now show what's happening so we can follow along. What should I do next? #godot #gamedev

1126

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 01/11/2025

Not exactly an Age of Empires sequel yet, but it's quite satisfying already to watch them gathering food and wood #godot #gamedev

1154

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 19/10/2025

Wanted to try an NPC controlled character to battle with. Now I'm stressed out by being chased every time I run my game. Shoutout to the placeholder sprites: benvictus.itch.io/test-dummy-p... #godot #gamedev

083

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 27/08/2025

Added the ability to recall the axe. Should the recall do damage too, or not? 🤔 #godot #gamedev

262

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 24/08/2025

I've heard you should be careful when adding screen shake, but you can't deny it's very fun to play around with 😅 #gamedev #godot

091

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 20/08/2025

Knockback and white damage flash using my first ever shader. #gamedev #godot

1134

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 18/08/2025

Axe throwing and dashing mechanic for a top down arena type game. Next up: try to make the attack feel as amazing as possible. #gamedev #godot

072

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 17/08/2025

Godot people, what progress did you make this week? #gamedev #godot

3133

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 14/07/2025

Finally, the enemy selects it's own moves! #gamedev #godot

0111

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 13/07/2025

The phase concept was falling apart, so I changed it to layers instead. The player will queue up a move for each band member to play. When they've all selected a move I plan for them to play their parts together layer by layer. What do you think? #gamedev #godot

0124

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 12/07/2025

Someone said it looked like the people on the right were the audience, so it was about time they got some instruments as well. (Ignore the mirrored text, lol!) #gamedev #godot

083

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

So you're telling me I can't use the same animation for all instruments? #gamedev #godot

182

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

Added some basic instruments. Just some basic visuals really help bringing it a bit more to life, especially because it's still very static visually. Queue now working. Next up is order of execution and hopefully a few move synergies. #gamedev #godot

093

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 17/06/2025

Queue setup coming together. You now queue one move for each band member that is then resolved at the end of your turn. Makes for interesting synergies later down the line. Also figured crowd hype meters fits the theme better than HP bars. #gamedev #godot

RPG like battle scene, 3 against 2. Basic prototype graphics.

041

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

Never done turn based logic before, so this will be interesting. #gamedev #godot

Game screen showing a prototype of a game. Battle between two bands and a basic UI.

081

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 09/05/2025

Making a Rocket League inspired inventory, because I'm currently horrible at working with UI. And if I understand correctly, Godot Icon as long as possible for prototypes. Right? #gamedev #godot

051

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 08/03/2025

Level selection, darkness, waypoint system, people shaking their head, it's all coming together! #gamedev #godot #indiedev

062

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 04/03/2025

Just showing what gamedev usually looks like. Here's me testing for the 112th time if the lines I'm drawing match the waypoint nodes... #gamdev #godot

030

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Darkness certainly helps setting the mood for a detective game. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

0193

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Waypoint system is finally working 🤩 I might need to slow the people down a bit, though. Right now it looks like a city in absolute panic... #godot #gamedev

1122

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 22/02/2025

Creating plugins in Godot is super useful! Needed a custom waypoint system, and now I have a plugin to connect and disconnect them with buttons. #godot #gamedev #GodotEngine

040

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 20/02/2025

Trying to make a waypoint system for my murder mystery game, so the citizens can walk around a city instead of an open field. He might still be moving a bit too freely... #godot #gamedev #godotengine

070

Crimson Moose @crimsonmoose.bsky.social · 17/02/2025

Murder mystery game I've been working on in Godot lately. Villain introduction and basic gameplay loop done. Now starts polishing and tying it all together. #gamedev #godot
