As for my progress, I'm still working on player movement syncing. There are an INSANE amount of moving parts, and I have to work through them one step at a time. However, I surmise that Monkanics will be playable in about 1-2 months (Rough estimate). 🧵 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #monkanics

Introducing: The Bean Counter! (Drawn by @snailsnaps) Players use this structure to deposit collected bean-anas and score in the bean-anza game mode. 🧵 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #monkanics

As for me, the server browser now works and player spawns are synced too! The next thing is replicating player movement. Follow for more updates! 🧵 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #monkanics

me and the monkanics at 2am looking for bean-anas! Anyways, this is the final concept of a Bean-ana (Drawn and animated by @snailsnaps): A super sweet bean/banana hybrid the Monkanics are obsessed with, and the main collectable of the Bean-anza game mode. 🧵 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #monkanics

As for my current progress, I've got lobby creation working and am now getting the gamestate (player positions, current map, etc) up and running. Follow for more updates! #indiedev #gamedev #godot #monkanics

The bigger the scrap pile is, the more players will want to contest it around the map. Scrap plays a key part of Monkanics' map design. 🧵 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #monkanics

It's time to yap about scrap! Scrap (as shown in this concept art by snailsnaps⁩) is Monkanics' central resource used to repair inventions and heal the player. Acting as a health and ammo pack in one! They come in 4 sizes: Tiny, Small, Medium, and Large. 🧵 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #monkanics

As for the art, this is the concept for the broken invention (by snailsnaps). Essentially what happens when any invention reaches 0% durability. Follow for more updates! 2/2🧵 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #monkanics

I've now have all the pieces I need to make Monkanics playable again (netcode, map, player, etc). However, putting those pieces together is certainly a challenge. As most things in the codebase are autoload singletons. 1/2🧵 #indiedev #gamedev #godot #monkanics
