Just finished a trio of SITREP backgrounds for Wallflower Act 1. These are little graphical backgrounds to show while players get set up for the mission! The whole pack (and more Wallflower and PNP/VTT content) is available on my Patreon for free! www.patreon.com/c/Firgof #lancer #wallflower

Looks like it blipped for a moment there, but I'm getting stable packet returns back now.

Prepping for the LANCER RPG module 'No Room for a Wallflower' and just finished the introduction's prebriefing. Why, yes, I am a fan of the AceCombat series; how could you tell? #lancer #foundryvtt #acecombat youtu.be/PpprvcobZvs

Aaaand artsprint for the day done on that commissioned PNGtuber from earlier. Still a ways to go but they're starting to come together nicely.

Commissioned to make PNGTuber-plus ready portraits for my paid Kingmaker game and I'm really liking how this one's turning out. Art style inspired by Hades and Darkest Dungeon. #pathfinder2e #pf2e #kingmaker #ocsky #art #portrait #clipstudiopaint #pngtuber #vtuber

Finished converting all of my game event scripts into JSON. So much nicer to work with! (Also took a pass at making events a little clearer. Need to make a better dice icon though to represent 'number of successes required') #godot #indiegame #gamedev #horror #toashandember

071

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 12/01/2025

Well, that was uncomfortable and took a lot longer than I expected. BUT! Now I can fully import and export from my nodegraph to JSON. This'll be such an enormous time saver for this project. Thanks #godot! #indie #strategy #rpg #gamedev #toashandember

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

Yep! What would've been 15 files before is now a singular file and I can actually see where stuff is going without having to flip back and forth between events and manually loading files.

000

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 07/01/2025

NodeGraphs are pretty easy to set up in Godot. This same tree would take up four files in my project; now they can all live in one. Going to take some elbow-grease to integrate but it's so much more fun to work with than trying to do this in the Inspector. #godot #indiedev #gamedev #toashandember

Thank you! Give it a wishlist or a grab on itch.io or subscribestar if you'd like to give it a whirl. Gonna be adding little decorations and changes to these interfaces in the final polish passes.

I have no idea how anyone's going to stream this game but at least the effects look nice on my end haha Also getting *dangerously* close to having full gameloops and really-playable-content in here. #gamedev #indiedev #toashandember #glitch #visualeffects #vfx #indiegame #horror #godot

We're basically at 100 followers and I wanted to do something special to celebrate by sharing this absolute banger of a track nixine put together for To Ash and Ember's boss fights. Thank you all and enjoy! Much more to come! #gamedev #music #toashandember #boss #fight #horror youtu.be/xqNYmC4R2WA

Sometimes it's the little things that give joy in game development. I'm just sitting here tweaking the particular sound, length, and transition type for hiding/showing the news panel. Many openings and closings have been had. I've tried 8 combinations so far! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Well at least there's that. Stories like these tear at my guts. I feel like my fear of situations like that are why I'm still indie after all this while. Hope you keep having success!

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

That's awful! Well, I hope the game at least sold okay??

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 28/12/2024

Thank you! I'd hope so, the whole game is UI based. Hopefully it'll look even better when I get around to decorating it some more.

Only 3 Donationware copies of To Ash and Ember left on itch.io! Grab you one if you're interested in checking out the early alpha of the game. If you'd rather wait for it to be done, wishlist on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/1189320/...

I thought I'd already replied, but I haven't it seems! Would love to be added to the list!

If you thought the eldritch and the abyssal were the only sort of nightmares you'd face in To Ash and Ember, beware: Feudal healthcare is arriving soon in a 'The City' near you. #wip #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #toashandember #horror #hospital #health #godot #game #screenshotsaturday

Oof. This advice strikes me a lot as 'if you're new to a fighting game, just play each character three times'. Nobody should do that: pick someone you like who's cool. The reason? Players who do quit because they spend Characters * 5 minutes losing and learning little. Frustration ups; quits happen

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 26/12/2024

(Also I liked the little ripple effect so much that I made it a thing which happens whenever you click)

To celebrate the fact I can now have dungeon layouts of arbitrary shape and form: the last level of the sewers in the next version of To Ash and Ember will be a genuine maze. #indiegamedev #gamedev #toashandember #indiedev #horror #strategy #rpg #arkham #game

I feel it was passed over just due to its graphics. It's a really neat experience packed into there if folks are willing to give it a few runs. Pretty cheap, too!

GlobalBus is paying off dividends. Fast 30-minute feature add: any source that deals damage to the player now shows it through sound and visuals. #godot #indiedev #indiegame #toashandember #horror #gamedev #game

One of the things I've felt has been missing throughout To Ash and Ember is a display which shows your dice rolls. That's now something I'm proud to include (as well as an option to skip the display of them). #toashandember #digital #boardgames #horror #strategy #indiegame #indiedev

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

Ah, it's good to see the Dungeon back up on its feet. Still some rough edges to smooth out but it's largely working once more. Want to add another 'detail layer' to add a little flavor to rooms in the future (tables, bodies, chairs, etc). #godot #horror #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #toashandember

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Not working flawlessly, but regions are now in. I have successfully imposed euclidean concepts and geometry upon the abyss of Dungeons. (Apologies for music; forgot to turn off my desktop audio record. I promise the sewers are not in a constant state of rave) #godot #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

083

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Victory! I've got region data embedded into the layouts now. All that's left to do is get the dungeons to run the region and event data and the new dungeon mode should be working! #godot #horror #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #toashandember #wip

0123

Firgof @firgof.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Front-end for the new Dungeon Explorer is up and running! Just need to hook up the back-end and set up the concept of 'regions' in the DungeonLayout so I can have stuff like 'rooms' and all that. Coming along quickly, I'd say! #godot #indiegame #gamedev #toashandember #dungeon #horror #fantasy

Found out something really neat! If you use a single-layer tilemaplayer in your Godot and want to save/load it fast, use the pattern tools! It's as easy as storing a TileMapPattern variable in a Resource and then doing the below! RT to spread this timesaving pattern! #godot #gamedev #indiedev
