Lots of work on collision handling this week. Things are a bit tricky when your character is a rotating rectangle. But I might have gotten it to a state where the tank bounces off of stuff correctly. Next we bounce some enemies off of the tank! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godot

I'm doing a little experiment with pre-rendered backgrounds. I wanted the backgrounds to look lousy as hell, btw

Made something for the Haunted PS1 Summer Camp jam: fenchel.itch.io/false-summit Old-school Resident Evil-like, pre-rendered backgrounds, tank controls, slight misunderstanding of the theme, and some missing polish (it’s a jam game after all). #gamedev #godot

Fell into the old-school JRPG rabbit hole and decided to to learn how to make a game with pre-rendered backgrounds. Some stuff still gives me a headache but i am pretty happy with my progress so far. #gamedev #godot

Playing Sin and Punishment for the first time. The vibes are absolute catnip for me, and I have no idea what the hell is going on story-wise. Good game.

I learned about the 'EditorInterface' class in #godot this week. Now all I do is make new buttons for the editor that do my shit for me. I feel really smart right now.

doing some work with interesting space filling patterns. these take a very long time to settle, but result in these very deliberate feeling, rectilinear puzzle piece buildings. they'd be great with generated streets and some garden rules, for town or city block fill.

New iteration for the title screen of my new old #Playdate game! Started it as a jam project over a year ago (my first playdate thing!) before getting distracted by other stuff. It's almost finished, just have to not get distracted by other random ideas 😨 #gamedev

Working on levels for my mining game. Experimenting with lighting to support the atmosphere of being alone in a dark place filled with mysteries and cheese. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev

Screenshot from a game about mining cheese.
The first person perspective view shows an industrial drill held by the player in the foreground. In the mid-ground the player's head lamp illuminates some rubble, a shovel leaning against the mine's wall that has a paper note one it. I the background the mine tunnels stretch into darkness. On the edge of light a cheese wheel is visible sticking out of the wall.
