Turns out the crash in that last video wasn't really a crash, it was just running checks on 28,000+ tiles all at once, when at most 200 tiles even exist. Thank God(ot) for the profiler, it made troubleshooting this one a breeze #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Enemies will now path to the nearest building when none are in range! The game is teetering on the edge of having "gameplay", tbh it's a bit scary to think about #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 20/08/2026

Finally got enemy turns working! (mostly at least. Next up, I'll need to give them something to do when there's no target in their threatened area) #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

More bugfixing done! Now I just need to figure out why the enemy disappears Sometimes-But-Not-Every-Time #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

I'm still hammering out issues with enemy AI, but I added threat ranges too! Pretty sure it's actually picking the best moves now as well #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Enemy AI (and animation!) is working!! Every move below is computer controlled and animating correctly! #wishlistwednesday #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

I'm super close to having a working version of enemy AI! The movement animations are still a little broken, but all the actions below are fully automated! Don't forget to wishlist on Steam <3 store.steampowered.com/app/3626080/... #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #Godot #gamedev

I got the first version of enemy turns working! In the clip, the 2-4 isolated dots show the 2 "best" combinations of moving + shooting. ie: the ones that hit the most building tiles, always hitting a player unit if one is in range. #wishlistwednesday #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

I crocheted this Kirby for a friend's birthday! I think this is the first amigurumi I've done without a pre-written pattern? He's about 90% orb though, so pretty darn easy to freehand. #crochet #amigurumi

I slapped some new shaders on the attack targeting highlight. I'll probably keep fiddling with the colours for the next eternity or two, but the overall effect is looking pretty good now! #godot #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

I'm slightly-shifting my game's name over to "Metropolis Gear: Tactical City-Building Action"! I think it sounds just a bit better than Metrogear. Plus, the old name was meant as an homage to a certain game that won't be named, but maybe it was a Bit Too Close. #devlog #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Combat systems are really coming together! The in-world damage text in particular was shockingly easy to implement for how cool it looks! Don't forget to wishlist my game if you can <3 steampowered.com/app/3626080 #godot #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

In-world damage text is in! It won't take long to add letters to this system as well, I'd just need to take a couple days to grind out 26+ characters (+ an eternity to deal with the localization issues it'll cause) #devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev #voxelart #magicavoxel

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 02/06/2026

The in-world text parser is working! (+ a quick animation!) The only issue is that the only sprite I have is a "0", so at best it can only parse some Beach Boys melodies. #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

"Of course I'm not making my own normal-lit sprite font, that would be silly" - I say, making a 0 "just to test". Feature Creep watches on, sharpening his already very sharp knives which he's also already stabbing me with #devlog #madeingodot #Godot #gamedev #indiedev #magicavoxel

0133

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 22/05/2026

Range indicators and shot animation are in! I reused some of the pathfinding code for shots, as a side effect attacks can support funky pathing to their target. Not sure if that'll be used often, but it's a fun bonus option I wasn't planning for! #devlog #madeingodot #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Legally speaking, I think I've finally got enough features to call this "Gaming" #devlog #madeingodot #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Huh, turns out being able to generate a usable game world in 1 click is a great time saver. Before yesterday, I was sort-of painting each island onto the map. #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 02/05/2026

The update from Godot 3 to Godot 4 is all done! Got sidetracked for a bit while testing out the new y-sort ordering features to make these animations, but now everything works again! (including some nasty looking devtools) #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

Attacking and tile highlighting are working again! Now I just have 1 tool to fix before everything that broke in the upgrade from Godot 3 to 4 is fixed! Super worthwhile tho, since now I can do z-axis animations! #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Pathfinding is working again! Mostly, at least. Still gotta clean up a bunch of code, but we're quickly approaching feature parity with the previous engine version! #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 15/04/2026

Back to recovering from the Godot 4 upgrade today, and I finally got characters displaying again! Pathing needs to be redone, but it's just nice to see the boys back #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

Cleaned up the code for 3D impacts, now they can begin on any layer and propagate Up And Down! I was so excited to get the effect working last time that I forgot to check if it works correctly when centered off the ground. #devlog #madeingodot #GodotEngine #Godot #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev

Finally being able to do this sort z-axis animation is ridiculously gratifying. I knew this Should have been possible forever ago but just couldn't get it to work until the other day #devlog #solodev #madeingodot #Godot #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #voxel #voxelart #magicavoxel

I'm partway through an engine upgrade and The Big Workaround Script is finally running. I still can't compile, but I'm seeing entirely new errors coming from deep in the old code! I've never been happier to fail

Not much to share at the moment, I'm just in the middle of upgrading my game from Godot 3 to Godot 4, something I've been putting off since...March 2023, apparently. But! Godot 4 has features that'll make Z-axis animation a ton easier, which I'm very excited to try. #devlog #madeingodot #Godot

New Enemy Type: Sharks with legs and rockets (These are going to look slightly different once they're visible in-game, but sprite ordering is still a bit busted) #devlog #madeingodot #Godot #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #voxel #voxelart #magicavoxel

Catching Two colds/flu's in the middle of rewriting my sprite layering code was not a fun time, but the game is almost back to full functionality! (aside from the fact that buildings are still drawing backwards) #devlog #solodev #madeingodot #Godot #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev

GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @getbass.bsky.social · 11/08/2025

I can feel a cold coming on, which apparently means I've spent all day rewriting code that draws each layer, but this time in exactly the wrong order. Probably time for a break... #devlog #madeingodot #Godot #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #voxel #voxelart #magicavoxel

Dug up this gif from an old version while digging through some files. I'm not using this shader for anything atm, but it's so cool that I'll have to use it in the future. #devlog #solodev #madeingodot #Godot #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #voxel #voxelart #magicavoxel

Turns out the sprite ordering issue I'm having is a pretty big sort of sorting issue, so here's some pretty-broken stuff I came up with while testing instead. #devlog #solodev #madeingodot #Godot #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #voxel #voxelart #magicavoxel

Working on getting indivdual tiles animated today. The goal being to create a "lego"-type effect when placing buildings, and a "ripple" sort of effect when a tile is shot. (No footage yet, but stay tuned!) #devlog #solodev #madeingodot #Godot #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiedev
