Last week I worked on the UI input system which is not really visually interesting, so I'll just post a combat clip this time #gamedev #indiedev

As another step towards the playtest, I began to focus on the non-combat parts. I will still take a small amount of time each week to refine the combat and preferably post them instead. #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Enemies that accompanies bosses are now spawned only after all enemies from previous wave have been defeated Also, it is not necessary to defeat all of them to beat the game. #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Refining counter mechanic. Counter is triggered by blocking at the right moment. #gamedev #indiegamedev

No worries, it's not rude at all! Feedback like that is something that is really valuable because I will at least rethink and might also do some refinement! It is a good point to keep exploring what works best, something that I will definitely do. And thank you for the detailed references! 😊

Thank you! 😊 I'll find unique solutions to those challenges 😆

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

But I really appreciate your honest opinion! This is something that I need to put in my backlog and prove again later 😊

Each boss has their own unique behavior but it does not feel the gap. Therefore, I'm thinking of fully committing to musou style combat where players fight the boss general with their soldiers. Environment is another alternative that I might try if the feedback for this feature is bad in playtest

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 09/08/2025

The combat is designed for one v many and that's why it does not really fit for 1 v 1. The idea for 1 v 1 for a boss fight sounds good in theory hence why I did it at first. But as I tested the whole combat from start to end, the gap between non boss fight and boss fight does not give a good feel

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Thank you! And yes, only fodders will be spawned 😄

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Interesting, that is something that I can test!

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

Good point, thank you! The fight should be ended directly after the boss has been defeated. I think I have some idea to add.

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 08/08/2025

It is not the standard, but I think this would enhance the fight. Each time I test the boss fight, I always feel something is missing and kinda feel slow. And using AOE on a single enemy feels different 😆 That said, depending on the playtest feedback, things might still change 😊

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 07/08/2025

I decided that small enemies would be endlessly spawned to accompany the boss during a boss fight #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Completing sound mechanism with the music and voice integration. I'm still using placeholder voices, but they are quite suitable especially for testing purpose. The music is composed by @AJMillsMusic #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 24/07/2025

I conclude my current iteration with sounds so I can develop the game further. The sounds are not yet complete and still need a lot refinements, but I've established the mechanism and workflow. I'll still refine them but not as my whole focus for now. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

I think I have found a more suitable workflow for me to work on the sound. I will need multiple iterations in the future to improve the sounds, but I will be able to get the first iteration done soon so I can continue with the development. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 10/07/2025

Adding sounds takes a lot more time than I expected, especially because of the style I want. If by next two weeks I still get stuck with sound, I'll use placeholders and continue with the development. #gamedev #IndieGameDev

A little bit busy this week so I only managed to put some sounds and did some stabilization #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 26/06/2025

I revamped the old audio system because it was not optimal, and I started to put real sounds for the game. The sounds are not yet fixed as I still want to try different things that might give better experience to the player. #gamedev #IndieGameDev

It's an honor to hear that 😊

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 19/06/2025

Got some good feedback last time and now I'm adding some deviations to the enemies when they are thrown so it looks less uniform. I'm also finally done with the performance refinement in this iteration and fix the UI for the synchron skill. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Cyber Aces @greencaladrius.bsky.social · 12/06/2025

Some optimization to increase FPS and some system refinement so enemy reacts better on hit #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Further working on the synchron skill mechanic by making it a choice to either execute the finisher or not. Still WIP. #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Implementing the mechanic, where a character performs a super skill as starter and then followed by the other character that does the finishing move. Still a big WIP and not final yet #gamedev #IndieGameDev

I have never shared non pixel art artwork of my game as I don't feel that confident with my art skills, I have become better with digital art since the day I drew this, but I am really looking forward to present this character in the future, I love how she ended up looking 👍✨ #oc #gamedev

Refining some moves and I'm done with this character in this iteration. Will still refine him on the way, but I need to change focus now #gamedev #IndieGameDev

Tried to refine another skill. I still need to do some tweaking for better visibility and then the refinement for this character should be done next week #gamedev #IndieGameDev
