Anyone having issues not seeing any button prompts in the Gobutiko demo? Lemme know what your controller or keyboard setup is. I'm trying to hunt down a particularly weird bug. #gamedev

Last one for tonight! So far I've learned that I shouldn't be writing code at 3am as most of what I fixed this weekend was stuff I broke at 3am 😌

~24hrs left before we're live! Time to drown myself in coffee and stay up all night rolling dice (roll a 1 to add a new bug 🫠). Tell your friends' pets to share and wishlist the game. They are better at marketing I'm sure! #indiegame #godot #gamedev

Very recent change to something pretty basic. Now you can see all interactables within reach and freely swap your targeting between them. Also changed this range to be circular instead of just what was directly in front of you!

So last year during play tests someone asked for an undo button for assigning dice. I coded it, played around with it then shelved it because it was too easy to just cheese the dice rolls. Over a year later while showering I realized how I can make it work. Let's see if I can get it working in time

Hey friends! 🩷🌱 I am looking on taking on another project. I have an availability of 15 hours a week. I am open to hourly and pay per asset. I can do environmental design, character design, and concept art/animation. Message me if interested #gamedev #gameartist #pixelart

Pixel art side-scrolling game environment set in a peaceful green meadow beneath a pale blue sky with soft white clouds. A small character stands on a raised grassy platform surrounded by lush trees, birch trunks, colorful pink, yellow, and purple wildflowers, scattered rocks, and a beehive hanging from a large tree.

Pixel art character sprite collection featuring twelve diverse characters arranged in two rows against a pale blue background. The characters have a variety of skin tones, hairstyles, clothing, and accessories, including braids, buns, glasses, bows, colorful outfits, and fantasy-inspired hair.

Cozy top-down pixel art forest environment with winding reddish-brown dirt paths surrounded by bright green grass and dense trees. Small woodland details fill the scene, including rabbits, butterflies, a snail, mushrooms, rocks, tree stumps, bushes, wildflowers, sunflowers, purple flowers, and a tiny bee character.

Top-down pixel art woodland and wetland environment featuring winding pale-blue streams and ponds bordered by grassy banks and reddish-brown paths. The scene is filled with leafy trees, cattails, lily pads, pink water lilies, mushrooms, purple flowers, rocks, logs, tree stumps, a butterfly, a frog, and small birds, creating a colorful cozy-game setting.

Sometimes, while playtesting, I find myself getting annoyed with how something works and grumble about bad design choices from the silly dev. Then I remember I'm the silly dev and can just change it. Gamedev feels weird sometimes. 😌

You may have noticed it in the new trailer, but I've added some flair to Composure Break! That's not all though This is now the primary way you'll unlock Concept Cores in Gobutiko! If you haggle against a merchant that uses a core, then breaking them unlocks it in Takk's Core Shop! #gamedev #godot
