I've never really understood the draw of CRT shaders... well, until I made one! Here's a high-res screenshot of the game that got me hooked. I rendered at 🔍8x zoom to hopefully let the details come out. Ah, I've such fond memories of the gb/gbc! LCD shaders > CRT shaders 😾 #zelda #gameboy #gamedev

I’m working on an indoor map. After learning a bit about 2D lighting and placing some lights, the atmosphere changed dramatically. I’m really like it. 😊 #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Have you ever wanted to iterate every cell from a Rect in Godot?? What do you think of this? 😅 Should I clean this up and make a PR? #godot #gamedev

Some GDScript code showing how to hypothetically iterate the coordinates of a rectangle.

I'm thinking of adding a dedicated strafing button to keep the player locked-on in a particular direction. Maybe I'll just build this into the items that require it? Previously only the sword does this when you hold it out, and the bow is basically a pain to aim consistently. #gamedev #indiegame

Look what I did to poor GDScript now, lol. I made the ternary optional. Ok, back to gamedev... #godot #gamedev

A picture of some code that uses the GDScript ternary operator to add something like Ruby's If/Unless.

I've been tinkering on this for like forever, I better start showing it off! Here's some basic combat with the boomerang in my game! What do you think, do you like it? It might one of my favourites. I need to add lots of powerups and enchantments for it. 😏 #gamedev #indiegame #pixelart #zeldalike
