LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 01/10/2026The whip is Joe the Mongoose's favorite tool for his job as an Explorer! Here's the whip usage animation in all four directions! :) #gamedev | #indiedev | #pixelart | #JoeTheMongoose 191
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 29/09/2026She walks!!!! Here she comes!!! #gamedev | #indiedev | #pixelart | #JoeTheMongoose 091

LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 24/09/2026BREAKING NEWS. This snake is very. polite,,,, #gamedev | #indiedev | #pixelart | #JoeTheMongoose 0111
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 23/09/2026Will is an enthusiastic reporter, sent to report on, and possibly help on, Joe the Mongoose's adventure. He's a friendly and adaptable guy, but Will and Joe consider each other rivals of sorts... can they set their differences apart? #gamedev | #indiedev | #digitalArt | #JoeTheMongoose 0112
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 22/09/2026More drawing!!! While Joe the Mongoose is used to work alone, for this adventure Katherine will follow and help him, as the game's co-protagonist! She's a gentle yet very determined individual. She's a purple american mink (I like purple) Enjoy! :D #gamedev #indiedev #digitalArt #JoeTheMongoose 1105
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 21/09/2026More dialogue portrait!!! I like this one better since it's more dynamic and has more personality. Hope you like it too! :) #gamedev | #indiedev | #digitalArt | #JoeTheMongoose 0133
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 18/09/2026Portrait WIP!!! #gamedev | #indiedev | #digitalArt | #JoeTheMongoose 0134
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 16/09/2026Hiya! Here's the sprite from yesterday in-game, running around! :D Have a wonderful day! #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 0132
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 15/09/2026More work on the walk cycles!! Made the character a bit bigger because it was way too small in the game world imo #gamedev | #indiedev | #pixelart | #JoeTheMongoose 2131
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 14/09/2026Small little guy walks :) #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 0101
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 11/09/2026And what happens next? He walks! And walks. And walks. Heaps of walking! #gamedev | #indiedev | #pixelart | #JoeTheMongoose 1120
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 10/09/2026Let the spritework begin!!! Here's a WIP of Joe the Mongoose, the protagonist!! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #pixelart | #JoeTheMongoose 0132
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 09/09/2026Today, more dialogue work! You can see the color changing according to the character :) Have a magical day! #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 181
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 08/09/2026Hiya pals! Today, the mystery of the sliding puzzle is solved! It will be used to control the layout of mazes. Will you be able to create your path to get through? Of course you will, you're the Explorer Extraordinaire! Have a magical day! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 0100
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 07/09/2026New week, new feature! It seems that the position of the tiles of the sliding puzzle is directly connected to these big blocks in the room... Enjoy, and have a great week! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 091
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 04/09/2026Hiya folks!! I implemented the 15-puzzle into the game world. Interacting with a certain object allows you to play it. But why would the Explorer Extraordinaire need to use this...? #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 0112
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 03/09/2026Our venture into the depth of the 15-puzzle continues, with the implementation of the mouse cursor detection. Click, drag or use the arrow keys — everything will work! Enjoy, and have a magical day! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 0114
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 02/09/2026Hiya buds! Sliding puzzle time! For now I'm implementing the basic 15-puzzle, but its inclusion in the game will come with a twist... stay tuned! ;) Have a magical day! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 030
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 01/09/2026Hiya pals! To cap off the work on the climbing mecahnic (for now), here's a video showcasing all the movement options and tiles. It took a lot of work but I'm proud of the result! It feels fun to play, I hope you'll agree! :) Have a wonderful day! :D #gamedev #indiedev #GodotEngine #JoeTheMongoose 171
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 31/08/2026Hiya everyone! More climbing progress today, finally some breakable tiles! There are climbable tiles that break after the player walks on them, forcing them to move fast, and there are damaging tiles that can be broken with the whip! Enjoy! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 1121
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 28/08/2026I'm falliiiing! Nasty tiles will try to prevent your ascent, but this won't stop the Explorer Extraordinaire, right? >:) Enjoy, and have a wonderful day! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 091
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 27/08/2026Yesterday I fought MATH and WON, today I fought PHYSICS and WON AGAIN! More work on the swinging mechanic :) I really want the movement to feel good :D when I have fun with my own prototypes I know I got something going u.u #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 061
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 26/08/2026Hiya bardlings! Today I fought with MATH but I WON! BEHOLD! SWINGING WITH THE WHIP WHILE CLIMBING A WALL! #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 0124
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 25/08/2026Hiya!! Another mechanic I'm implementing is climbing! I made a very fast test-tileset and was able to add slower movement on climbable tiles and falling when not on climbable tiles. I'm planning Cool Stuff™️ for climbing sections so stay tuned! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 082
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 24/08/2026More work on the projectiles puzzle! I've built a system that allows me to create a predefined bullet pattern by declaring the starting position and speed of the projectile and the wait time between projectiles. I'm having a ton of fun :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 091
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 21/08/2026Using the whip is going to be a main mechanic for the game. You can use it to go across certain tiles. One puzzle I had in mind is using these tiles to create a room where you have to jump around and avoid projectiles! #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 2133
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 20/08/2026More of the boulder escape sequence!!! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 173
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 19/08/2026It's not a classic adventure without a well-placed comically large spherical boulder rolling towards you! (I can't wait to show you how the game looks once we go past this prototype stage ;u;) Enjoy, and have a wonderful day! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 1112
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 18/08/2026More prototype updates!!! We got some camera action going on, and the player's spawn point in the next room is now dictated by the specific door it crosses. Enjoy, and have a wonderful day! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 062
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 18/08/2026Working on a new title featuring a mongoose explorer protagonist!! Imagine a chill take on classic Indiana Jones shenanigans with character interactions and fun puzzles :) Very early stage, but the foundations are coming along pretty well! 121
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 17/08/2026Prototype custcene let's gooo!!!! #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 1111
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 14/08/2026Ok so here are the options. First is HD, second is 640x360 with soft brush, third is 640x360 with hard brush. Both lowres screenshot are displayed at 1920x1080 with Godot. First looks nice, second feels too blurry and third one is not *bad* but has a "jittery" vibe that I don't think fits the game 111
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 13/08/2026Hiya pals! Today I implemented the way to change rooms when colliding with a specific area. I'm so excited about this!!! :D Enjoy, and have a room-changing day! (Whatever *good* thing it might mean for you) #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 083
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 12/08/2026Hiya bardlings! Using the whip will be a big thing in this game, so here's a very prototype animation of using the whip to jump over a pit! Enjoy, and have a wonderful day! :D #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 072
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 11/08/2026Hiya everyone! Today we get to see the implementation of the follower system!! Look at em go!! Sometimes in your adventure you'll be joined by another character. I wonder who that'll be? Enjoy, and have a wonderful day! :) #GodotEngine | #gamedev | #indiedev | #JoeTheMongoose 172
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 07/08/2026Today, nothing too exciting for the project, just some very important organization and foundations stuff. Hoping a good structure makes this sustainable! One step at a time! Big shoutout to Fat Earth Studios for their goated tutorials on this #gamedev | #indiedev | #GodotEngine | #JoeTheMongoose 1131
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 07/08/2026Hiya bardlings! Exciting news ahead: this month I'm going to be able to focus on my Joe the Mongoose game, finally!!! I really hope I can manage to keep you posted on its development. In other news, I HAVE INSTAGRAM NOW!!! www.instagram.com/ludosgddev/ I'm ludosgddev :D #gamedev | #indiedev 2153
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 16/07/2026My worst? I think you could make an excellent Lurrus of the Dream-Den 👀 020
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 23/06/2026It’s DELTARUNE TOMORROW, International holiday! To celebrate, I’m muting everything deltarune-related until I finish the chapter lmao I’m not taking any chances 073
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 10/06/2026Here’s the D00d being thoroughly confused at game development. Just like fr! :D Happy Birthdavid :) 121
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 09/06/2026If you get the chance I recommend it a ton! One of my favorite games ever. Here are two of the three protagonists (the other one is the reply to the other winner :D) 052
LudosGD, Gamedev Bard @ludosgd.com · 01/06/2026THE NEW BANNER IS HERE!!! I'M SO PROUD OF THIS ONE :D A new era for LudosGD!!! Let's go bardlings!!! #digitalArt | #LudosGD | #gamedev 2103
