This week I merged a bunch of systems in my game into one. Shadows, held items, sparkle fx, "Zzz" text, pickup animations, and more, can now be added or removed from any object with one line of code. This makes things very flexible and convenient. 😊 #MayGame #indiegame #gamedev #WishlistWednesday

Lots of pixelated games provide the option of an HD (non-pixel) font. Many players prefer it. I wanted to see how technically feasible it would be, since everything else is forcibly rendered with strict pixel-precision. Fortunately, it wasn't too bad. ^^ #gamedev #MayGame #Godot #gamedesign

I've begun tidying up the codebase for my game: simplifying the APIs, adding tests, and creating cheatsheets to make adding content easier. For today, this means the screen overlay effects. They can now be used in any cutscene via a common API. #MayGame #cozygame #indiegame #WishlistWednesday

In my game, you can pick up and carry certain large objects. Here's how they work: - You can pick it up by walking into it. - If you jump, you'll drop it. - You can't throw it (too heavy) - But you CAN whistle (attack) while carrying it. #MayGame #WishlistWednesday #cozygame #indiegame

The tutorial area for my game is now in a finished playable state, and here it is, from beginning to end. It teaches most of the basic gameplay mechanics. And now has music and lots of sfx too. This is a major milestone for me and I'm very happy with it. ^^ #indiegame #cozygame #GameDev #MayGame

How can you tell if there's still something to solve in a room? And what will happen once it's solved? Easy. A Puzzlegeist will be there. Draped over a door. Or a locked chest. Or just hanging out. Maybe your map will even show where they're still around. #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #MayGame

On second thought, maybe shattering (nice-looking) destructible crystals into tiny pieces isn't quite the vibe I want to go for. 🤨 So how about instead, a bulb that opens up when you whistle at it? Might be something useful inside. Oh and here's a new rope-climbing mechanic too. #MayGame #gamedev

Another block type has entered the chat. These blue arrow blocks are similar to your typical ice blocks, but: - They're 2-way only. - You can trigger them from any angle, even if you're in their way. #MayGame #gamedev #indiegame

Serious question: Are these flip-able blocks easy to understand as a game mechanic? Do they look fun? I'm experimenting with blocks that behave in non-standard ways, and I worry they're too unconventional and players might have a hard time adjusting... #MayGame #gamedev #WishlistWednesday

The blobs' walk animation always felt a bit off, since the animation frame updates were not synced with their movement frames. No sub-pixel interpolation allowed, so it was kinda noticeable. Fortunately, this long-standing issue is now fixed. #MayGame #GameDev #indiegame #cozygame

Hello, everyone! I'm back! Sorry for the absence. Lots of drawing board work the last two weeks. The cave tileset has gotten a complete overhaul - as well as the water edge tiles. This is the first room of the currently-WIP "tutorial cave." #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #cozygame #MayGame

We now have sound effects! 🔊 All created with the audio tool I made earlier this year. That thing took almost 2 months to make but was worth it! 🙌 #WishlistWednesday #indiegame #cozygame #MayGame #gameaudio

Here is how you go up and down cliffs in my game. ^^ Stairs are two-way and impact movespeed. ↕️ Rockslides fast but are down-only. ⬇️ #indiegame #MayGame #gamedev #indiedev

My game finally has destructible terrain! They are mushroom-shaped crystals. 🍄💎 Shatter them by whistling. 🎶 They will sometimes drop money. 🟨 #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev #indiegame #MayGame

I've added a mechanic where you can control May's brother, Day, directly. This will enable puzzles where you must alternatively control the two characters. The blue mimics will change appearance depending on who's in your party. #MayGame #gamedev #indiedev #cozygame

This being is called a Mimic. They will copy anything that May does. Move. Jump. Whistle. Trigger globe switches. Call a dog over. There's a lot of synergy here and I intend for the game's puzzles to take full advantage of that. #indiegame #cozygame #gamedev #MayGame

One of my game's puzzles involves leading these dogs onto these "Paw Pads." It's similar to block-pushing puzzles. But with more dogs. :3 A hidden object tracks which ones are pressed and can make things happen if various conditions are met. #MayGame #indiegame #cozygame #ScreenshotSaturday

One thing that always trips me up in games is when the same button is used to advance text AND pick choice #1. I'll frequently pick a choice by accident. :/ What if *no choice* is selected by default? This forces the player to press up or down to pick one. #MayGame #gamedev #gamedesign

Testing out some new game mechanics this week... These jumpy dogs might look familiar. They were used for a stealth section before. But this time, they respond to your whistle! Can we get one dog to stand on each gray panel? #MayGame #indiedev #cozygame #indiegame

The signpost gag has been re-added 😁, and an enemy. I can customize their behavior much more easily now. The code refactor is basically done. All the main components were rebuilt and I'm very happy with it now. ^^ #MayGame #indiegame #cozygame

Turns out getting text-revealing, auto-wrapping text that doesn't make words jump across lines as they get longer is a bit of a pain. 🫠 Newlines were manually inserted pre-refactor. Now they're automated. One less thing I (and localizers?) will need to put up with. #MayGame #indiegame #solodev

Indie game refactoring continues! Doors leading to other maps work, and barebones cutscene functionality. Plus LOOOOOTS of changes under the hood. Map editing is so much more convenient now; you have no idea. 🥲 #MayGame #indiegame #solodev #cozygame

Work on the my game's refactor continues. Jumping, attacks, and scripting are re-implemented. And also... Our first graphical filter! This one reproduces the dot-matrix look of old handheld screens, where you could see individual pixels separated by thin lines. #MayGame #indiegame #solodev

Hiya everyone! It's been awhile since the last official update... Nonetheless there's been steady progress made on the game on my developer account. bsky.app/profile/mica... A devlog covering the past 2 months and what's next will go up on April 1, and official updates will resume then as well!

In my game, quests are represented as "Mental Notes." You can see these notes on the map screen. 🗺️🔖 You can also see them on the items screen, on top of items that are part of a quest. 🌻🔖 Quests with no item yet will show an item wireframe. 🌐🔖 #MayGame #indiegame #cozygame #gamedev #gaming

Did more controller testing the last 2 days (including Bluetooth). Made some minor fixes and optimizations too. I now feel confident enough to update the Steam page with this: 🎮 Full Controller Support! 🎮 #MayGame #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame

A screenshot from a Steam page for a game. It reads: "Full Controller Support: Xbox Controllers, Playstation Controllers"

I've overhauled the System Menu for #MayGame. The options are now laid out in a grid and have character animations when active. The Map and Items menus are accessible as tabs, too. Animations need fine-tuning but otherwise pretty happy with this. #WishlistWednesday #gaming #indiegame #cozygame

I've seen some indie games with a built-in achievement-tracking screen and decided to make one too. Not every gaming platform has an achievements system, so this would make sure everyone could experience it. #gaming #indiegame #cozygame #MayGame #gamedev
