still contending with a stubborn cold also cant really think of a new project that excites me. i wanna do something smaller i can finish in less than 3 months or so, but so far i havnt had any exciting ideas. just "workable concepts" need that spark of passion still

metroidvania thing is going well but its really just showing me how much work these genres are so i think ill do something actually smaller and simpler for a while and just when i get that big motivation boost, i get sick again so... yea. will see.

i find it hilarious that the metroid fanbase was starved for years and we are now receiving a game about samus being really really hungry

so yesterday i did like, 30% of a slug npc sprite. it took me 2 hours, was no fun and other than changing 2 lines of code, i didnt do anything else and today im just able to work normally again theres no obvious factor as to why my productivity is so uneven sometimes, but its rather sucky

Building an experimental level for testing and seeing what i feel like doing. no concerns for plot/progression/etc. its difficult to turn those impulses off, but i wasn't getting anywhere with them trying to get to first "vibe" testing by next weekend #gamedev #pixelart #godot #metroidvania

added a little cheat console. i could've gone about accessing cheat modes like instant respawn in a ton of different, easier ways but i felt like experimenting, i guess #gamedev #godot #metroidvania #pixelart

setting up a parallax can be annoying in this style, so i made a little tool that helps me preview the effect there was confusion about the way parallax is affected by the viewport so this took me longer than it needed to but tomorrow i should be able to get to levelbuilding #gamedev #godot

The Oracle He's an important figure in Vee's native culture. His unique physiology grants him an unnaturally long lifespan and even some psychic abilities After Vee's disappearance, her brother often performs rituals with him to try to locate her #characterdesign #art #scalie #worldbuilding

working more on my test-boss to figure out the gamefeel im a bit concerned about the feel of switching direction while trying to hit the enemy. ive got a few ideas as to how to address it tho #gamedev #pixelart #godot

so, im still trying to work my way into #godot, but ive hit a massive wall in the form of composition and state machines. ive watched all the tutorials and asked all the questions but i just dont seem to get it. 1/?

i like the idea of vee being a protagonist whose games stories dont revolve around her. itd relieve a lot of the pressure of making sure she has a big game with a big story about her instead i could just use her for more, smaller scifi projects 1/?
