MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 05/10/2026As time goes on, I think I know what kind of game I want rocket to be, it wont be a popular game, I don't think most ppl will even like this kind of game, but I'm ok with that, my goal is just to make things 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 22/09/2026A friend once told me "sometimes it's kinder to be honest", I'm glad people are honest about my game, sorry about before. 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 13/09/2026I'm just testing the proportions here, part of me wants to rework the game nearly from the ground up, among other things, but I'll save that for later to see how I really feel then. 100
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 11/09/2026SAGExpo is here, check out my indie game demo if you want. sonicfangameshq.com/forums/showc...sonicfangameshq.comROCKET!! - [SAGE 2026 Demo]A speedy 2D indie platformer 011
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 09/09/2026#godot #gamedev I decide to work on it a bit more after all, new camera system, also I decided to just block out level design with trenchbroom & then (try) and model it in blender, I like this method the most so far, but I know nothing about 3D modeling... 0114
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 06/09/2026#godot #gamedev A proof of concept I suppose, I combined my Asset Placer project with GridMaps to make it work in 3D, rather than axis dependant. 051
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 04/09/2026#godot #gamedev I think I've found a method to build levels that I like (it's really bootleg), I just wanted to test what a 3D level might look like. I still need to fix some things, but I think I can otherwise take a break from this side project now. 091
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 04/09/2026#godot #gamedev something I work on when I'm not working on rocket, this is the 3rd iteration, all I really did was port some of rocket's physics logic & translate them to 3D, easier said than done though... It's still a bit janky, but honestly I don't think it will ever not be janky at least a bit 092
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 15/07/2026#gamedev #indiedev I spent quite a bit of time on a feature I might never use, I thought the math would be more complicated but it just uses cosine + radian math, as per usual 0121
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 11/07/2026#godot #gamedev #tool it was tough, but I managed to add undo/redo functionality into it, this project is basically finished now, not that it can't be improved/include more features, but basically everything I wanted now exists...mostly 191
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 10/07/2026#godot #gamedev #tool I managed to make a preview for the block you're about to place, it still needs some work but I'm glad I could get it to work! 071
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 09/07/2026#godot #gamedev #tool It's very bootleg, but I've added erasing & rotation, this was always meant to be a personal use tool so it's fine if it's a bit jank I guess, as long as I understand it. I really wanted a proper preview of what block Im about to place but I can't currently, oh well... 051
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 09/07/2026#godot #gamedev I wanted to build an asset placer that behaved kinda like minecraft, so I did. The way current 3d level design tools are now never quite meshed with me, though, it's possible there's something like this out there & I havent looked hard enough... still though, it was fun making :D 150
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 06/07/2026#pixelart here's a closeup of the dragonfly enemy, I like their eyes they used to be a bit bigger 050
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 06/07/2026dragonfly enemies, I gave them a glowing tail because I thought it was cool mostly, I wanted them to act kinda like bullet bills the floor is an asset for a future stage I was working on recently, it's not visible here but I was experimenting with making slopes #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pixelart 0132
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 23/06/2026#godot #gamedev #pixelart I made fire guys, you cant hurt them, but they can hurt you! 0141
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 19/06/2026I found out you can use the line2d node in godot to make some nifty tube sprites, if I can find a way to save them as a png that would really help out in pixel art 110
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 18/06/2026I beat super mario world for the first time... I'm very happy right now. 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 17/06/2026...why are there 1000+ spike entities, there's no way I actually used that many.... 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 17/06/2026twirl challenge, I originally wanted to use spikes with more floors but I found it to probably be either a bit too hard for first time players or a bit too easy with damage boosting+less layers, so I compromised with springs, I think they work well for now, maybe next time #godot #gamedev #indiedev 190
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I made 3 new signs, one for pits, spikes, and sliding respectively, I don't know if im going to use the last one but at least it's there im not entirely sure if it's necessary, but my hope is that they serve as a heads up when moving fast, it's hard to know whats ahead in 2D in this game #gamedev 1111
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 17/06/2026I've added arrows to help telegraph when to jump, it's not necessary when going slow, but when going fast it really helps imo, I want this level to be a bit more platformy but keep speed/flow in mind, I hope this isn't too hand holdy... #gamedev #godot 061
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 15/06/2026cactus enemies are implemented, though, it's hard to see the needles, but they're there if you believe they are, I'll try to fix it I wanted to make enemies that make you jump high & act as walls #pixelart #gamedev 0122
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 11/06/2026Originally, "ROCKET!!" was going to be a different game, but I couldn't quite make it yet due to my lack of experience, then it became something else beyond even that, but I didn't like it & decided to go with what I was going to do before that again. 100
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 11/06/2026I fixed the time trial bug, maybe I spoke too soon, perhaps it will be in the next demo after all. 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 09/06/2026The more features I add, the more complicated things get, I began adding a time trial mode, it works but it's still a little buggy & Im not sure why, I dont know if it'll be in this next demo... 100
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 23/05/2026Still figuring out good audio/video, it's a mystery to me on these platforms... 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 18/05/2026I don't know how an MP4 can weigh less then a GIF, but I sure learned it can today, must be magic 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 17/05/2026Some rocket!! drawings. I wanted to get better at my own art. 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 16/05/2026I'm testing recording again... I don't know anything about recording videos lol, hope this looks ok 100
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 05/05/2026I forgot to mention, I've added platforms, I don't use characterbodies for rocket that so it was hard to implement, but possible. I recently made the "chains" rotate with the platform, you're going to see a hazard that also uses these not rotate properly, this is because I dont feel like fixing it. 200
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 03/05/2026I'm basically finished with WWG, so there's nothing to do except polish & work on other stuff, this is Limestone Mine. I dont want to go deep into development yet because this wont be in the next demo + I want to see how WWG does first. I've already made gimicks here but I dont want to show them. 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 03/05/2026here is some concept art of "deciduous forest", made years & years ago back when "rocket!!" was a sonic fan game called "geo-sonic", it was supposed to be a game set between the end of the classic timeline & the beginning of the modern timeline, I still really like the sonic sprite I made. 110
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 29/04/2026I made fire beams... but then quickly realized they are functionally similar to another hazard I've already made and aren't sure of the use case they belong to in this game... maybe I'll find a way to use them anyway though. 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 25/04/2026I ended up finishing the boss last night, it's more simple than what I envisioned but I like it like that, though, I do want to edit the crow/raven's sprites a little, good thing I have lots of time if I ever end up doing that. I really hope this is a fun boss to fight! 100
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 24/04/2026im just testing obs here, I might only be able to showcase small clips from now on here, plus godot's recording feature is a pain anyway 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 23/04/2026even more has changed since I last posted here, I updated Wild Wildgarden with new sprites, made the camera show more of the screen when going fast, finished 3 levels, and more... all I really need to do next is make a boss & polish up the frog enemy asset, then I can move onto the next world. 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 23/04/2026some bird enemy concept art, I intend for one to be a boss & another just a regular enemy, animating it will probably be tough! making enemies is a challenge for me because I'm worried they'll end up looking too friendly or cute or something, sometimes I wish I just went with making robots... 000
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 10/10/2025I don't know if I'll release rocket anymore or not, part of me wants to continue but I don't know if it will work out because it's just me making it. I'll still probably upload stuff as a portfolio piece but other than that I'm not sure about the future of this project anymore, I'll think about it. 100
MALr @mal813.bsky.social · 28/09/2025alot has changed from when i posted updates here, i've been working on a new level, "wild wildgarden". ofcourse, it's very much a wip. #godot #gamedev #indiedev 0103
