why is the right side locked? is it just that specific interaction or is it something that can happen often?

I don't usually care to look at engine updates but since 4.7 Godot has been on a roll with awesome updates, actively waiting for 4.8

it's not flashy work but it does feel good modularizing a 1000+ line game jam monolith down by a few hundred lines. still I wish I had time to do something flashier today :v #gamedev #solodev #godotengine

oh hell yeah that's why it looks so dynamic, good work :D

wow the art direction is awesome, are you billboarding 2d sprites in a 3d world to get that effect? looks so cool

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 27/09/2026

Looks cool, do different units have different elemental attacks that affect differently typed enemies?

Devlog: hover a stat to see the math behind it. The tricky part was showing how symbols affect each other without overstimulating players with numbers. Hiding the full breakdown in a tooltip while keeping the final value visible up front felt like a good solution #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

Stunning, I feel like just a few more ambient particles could make it feel more alive

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Oh awesome just found it thanks for the tip, will definitely serve as good inspiration. I'd also like to try my hand at trying to make my own vocabulary/terms for it but idk how far I'll go with that

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

oh bet, I've definitely heard of Neuromancer, sounds like I found my next saga of books to read hehe

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

me too, I haven't read any books with it but I literally looked up a list yesterday. My go-to reference is cyberpunk edgerunners, I think it just does a great job painting this bleak capitalist corporate dystopia, if you recommend Snow Crash I'm all over it

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I hadn't heard that term peephole storytelling before but yeah you're absolutely right (god I sound like an AI) it's not the kind of game where lore is prevalent but rather it's shown in flavor and other smaller parts. Whatever the case, I intend to update more, thanks for engaging, seriously

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

ooo yeah, thanks I think those are strong ideas for events in game and lore dropping. I still haven't landed on the underlying lore/plot yet but I'm playing around with some ideas, I appreciate any and all feedback and ideas, be presumptuous :D

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

thanks! I really appreciate it, I'm still pondering how absurd I wanna get with it haha

didn't know Chiitan was into devlog posts, if I ever lose my way, at least I'll know they were rooting for me from the start 🦦

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

thanks! still a prototype but making it look on-theme really helped visualize it better for me! good luck with your game too! I just played it on itch and you've got something fun there :D

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Departments, so far, will affect what kind of enemies you go against and the weight of the rewards given after each combat. At it's core it's a slot machine battler and the symbols have different department tags and ideally you'd try to build your ideal machine with departments as synergies

Devlog: got the floor map generator to actually feel like an org chart. Slay the Spire inspired corporate satire roguelite progression #indiedev #gamedev #godot

So true, I have so many times agonized and gone back to the drawing board over a decision I already made because I thought there would be a better solution. I tried to make a "perfect" decision before actually taking any action

oh awesome I didn't know, I always wonder where these small indie games get all their assets coz surely they're not modeling them all. Makes sense it's the goat Kenney

I made a corporate roguelike in #Godot where your attacks are buzzwords and boss fights are performance reviews

Which do you think is the best way to rate movies/tv shows/games...? 0-100% like Rotten Tomatoes? 0-10 like IMDb? 1-5 like Letterboxd? Are there any phycological reasons to choose one over the other?

LitlOctopus @litloctopus.bsky.social · 03/03/2025

Any tips on getting the users local time to the server? Right now it just gets the time from where the server is located but I want it to update for every user based on their timezones midnight

Always wanted to have a go at making my own "daily game" like Wordle and such, so finally made my own using #Next! Guess the movie rating by only seeing the trailer and build up streaks! 🎬 showspace-production.up.railway.app/daily-trailer #webdev #personalproject #forfun
