How many games allow you to rearrange the game's menu to your liking? Because Rough Trigger does now. #screenshotsaturday #monogame #gamedev #indiedev

Still working on it but I'm adding the "Journal" menu which is a kind of in-game wiki with characters and lore. It gets updated as the player progresses. Rough Trigger will be lore-heavy so expect to see a lot of entries in here when it releases. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #monogame

Screenshot of Rough Trigger showing the in-game phone menu with the "Journal" application selected

Screenshot of Rough Trigger's Journal index menu showing four categories (People, Organizations, Events and Science) with "Nolan Hawkins" selected in the "People" category

Screenshot of character Nolan Hawkins' journal entry in the game Rough Trigger. It reads :
"Nolan Hawkins
CEO of Vambrace Security
Aliases : Matthew King
Age : 38
Affiliations : Vambrace Security (CEO)
Past affiliations : Canadian Forces (Sergreant), Kingly Arms (CEO)
I met Nolan six months ago when he saved my life and nursed me back to health. We've stuck together ever since. Together, we founded Vambrace Security while recovering from our injuries in a UN refugee camp. Under the name 'Matthew King', Nolan was CEO of Kingly Arms, a prominent PMC in the middle east and Africa. Both of his names hold a lot of weight in the mercenary world. He assures me that Nolan Hawkins is his real name and that King was merely an alias that he used for protection but I'm not sure what to believe. I trust Nolan but there's always more to the story with him."

I added a profanity filter to the game for those something like that might interest. Nolan in particular has a very colorful language. This small feature also allows me to post "cleaner" samples of the game on social media. #monogame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Two characters, Seiko and Nolan talking. Nolan is censored by grawlix, saying "$*^?!$ up when you think about it, right?"

A first look at Rough Trigger's base system. This is still early but part of how you'll be managing Seiko's PMC, Vambrace Security, in the game. You'll be hiring mercenaries and civilians and also provide shelter for refugees #screenshotsaturday #monogame #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Working on walls that turn transparent when you walk behind them (it was about time, I know) for early #screenshotsaturday #monogame #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

I don't even know why they don't just let you set it to your preference either. My game (still in development) does it and I'm a solo dev. I got Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam and I use the DS4 and I have Xbox glyphs forced on because I dare use my DS4 wireless.

A colorfull update today for #screenshotsaturday. I added color retargeting which basically means I can reuse the same tiles (complete with collision and other info) without duplicating sprites or data. I might have overdone it with the colors a little, though #monogame #indiedev #pixelart

In Rough Trigger, you'll be able to call every important supporting character and ask them about others, giving you insight into their relationships even when Seiko isn't around. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #monogame #pixelart

Yeah I like it a lot as well. I also love Remake and Rebirth. IMO their existence doesn't invalidate the original at all. It's just more of FF7 which is great. But the moogles I don't know what they were thinking. It looks like a creature that killed a moogle then wore its skin.

Can now fire and reload weapons while moving. The sprites are now twice as large as they were and still feature eight non-mirrored directions. Because mirroring sprites would look silly in a game a with a one-eyed protagonist #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #monogame #pixelart

Re-implemented Rough Trigger's (fake) social media platform, Dankr in the new build. #monogame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #pixelart

I'm pretty small. Working on Rough Trigger nearly solo. I mean I'm pretty much solo but I do have a friend who helps me occasionally with math problems so I don't like saying I'm doing it solo.

Re-implemented the phone menu in the new Rough Trigger build. The phone menu is the game menu where the player can call NPCs to get tips and lore. It's also where you call an extraction or quit the game (among other things) #monogame #indiedev #gamedev

The new Rough Trigger build now re-implements one of the latest features of the old codebase : floor transitions. We're getting there! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Rewriting my engine to use vanilla #monogame rather than a fork of it. Turns out I don't want to sink time into maintaining all that 😅. The main menu is finally back! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I've been working on underground tunnels and multiple floors for the past month. It works now! #monogame #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

95 followers. I wonder if we can get to 100 by midnight? Nolan doesn't look too good. #screenshotsaturday #pixelart #indiedev #monogame #gamedev

This is an older gif but here is the actual feature they're talking about in action

Part 2 of the conversation about the wallpaper feature.

Moreault 🇨🇦 @moreault.bsky.social · 21/12/2024

Working on my call menu some more, this time the conversation is about phone wallpapers. If you didn't know, the phone in Rough Trigger acts as the in-game menu so it's a central piece of the game's UI. I'll post part 2 of the call in the comments #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #monogame

Small but important milestone in a game with stealth - you can now crawl under stuff!

Working on updated graphics for Rough Trigger. My daughter loves the gif of Seiko petting the dog so I decided to remake this one as a mockup first. I'll post the older version in the comments. #screenshotsaturday
