One more thing to show for a while enjoy. A powerup, so that you can get the DNA points, plus it's satisfying to watch them all come flying in at your location. #Godotengine #Gamedev #indiegame #gameplay

Programming Takes a while, but here's what I have so far for a boss... It still needs a lot of work, but I'm posting stuff over winter break, so minor victories and all. #gamedev #gameplay #indiegame #indiedev #GodotEngine

I DID IT! I created a video game from scratch and uploaded it to steam before starting my first year at university. I'm so proud of myself, and though I still have a lot to learn, I did accomplish something I've always wanted to do. #Indiegame #Indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/3605970/...

Visuals got updated thanks to @marcushimself.bsky.social Now there's clouds, rain, and heat. Makes the game look far better, which I think really helps wraps up the whole project as makes it nice. #Indiegame #Indiedev #Gameplay #GodotEngine #Pixelart #game #Gamedev

Nearly 20 months of coding this game and almost 3 years of learning game development I have my first ever Steam page. I am so proud of myself for this, plus it's just super awesome to have done this. #Indiegame #Indiedev #Gamedev #game store.steampowered.com/app/3605970/...

Here it is with a background, because I still want to improve my landscape drawing skills, I think this looks 100% better than the last one I did. So, I'll be sure to use these characters one day, but until then I'm happy with the Steampunk Western. #Pixelart #art

TADA the first boss is artistically finished, the mechanical serpent. Thanks to @marcushimself.bsky.social for help on the visuals for this boss. I really like this one, it's based on the Horned Lake Serpent myth, and a waterwheel. #GodotEngine #Pixelart #Indiedev #Indiegame #games #gamedev

Look a background. No longer stuck in the void, everything is much more vibrant now that's not just the basic test scene grey. Still a lot of work to do, but I'm making GREAT progress. Hope you have a great day random person reading this #Indiedev #GodotEngine #Indiegame #Pixelart

Just finished readding Basic Drones for Hot Shot Monkey One step closer to being all caught up again I have made a slight change, now Basic Drones spawn in with 1 of 3 different gun variants, should add a bit more challenge and variety to the game. #GodotEngine #Pixelart #Indiedev #Indiegame

Font changes. I think the new font looks nicer and adds a more western vibe. I'm mostly just doing some small tweaks here and there for now. (Ignore the outfit I was just testing save data) Have a great day. #Indiedev #Indiegame #GodotEngine

New enemy sprites, that are more robotic, also certain drones now have a pool of images to draw from. Also, a new arena soundtrack, credits go to Zap Splat. I'm happy with the reintroduction of the Wild West theme. I will update the demo soon as well. #PixelArt #GodotEngine #Indiegmae #Indiedev

Got the Jungle Shop mostly set up today. I think the music goes great with it and the new buddy variant is just funny to me #GodotEngine #indiegamedeveloper #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Added dialogue sounds, no longer will it be boring text just appearing, and a little sign to tell you when the line is finished. Plus, I set up a little shop for testing and it will be in the next Demo Update, so keep an eye out for that. #gamedev #indiegame #IndieGameDev

So you could fix it? Because I gave it a quick try in a test project and with a normal collider and it looks not like the behaviour in your game.

Marcus Makes Games @marcushimself.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Hard to say without checking it out. You know like tweaking values, seeing what is going one, the usual :D I'm not even sure what I'm looking at. I would assume the cone is a Rigidbody with some custom collision shape. Really hard to say from just watching a video.
