New devlog: Directives — around forty-four challenges that pay out in cosmetics, never power. They tick over on bad runs too, which is the real engine behind "one more go". northforge-interactive.itch.io/pulse-zero/d... #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Directives: A Reason to Play Differently
Cosmetics gave PULSE//ZERO a reason to keep playing. Directives are how you earn them — a data-driven layer of around forty-four challenges that track what you actually do in a run and pay out in lo.....

x11 and still climbing, screen full of elites, grid buckling under all of it. This is the bit of PULSE//ZERO I never get bored of. #ScreenshotSaturday #godot #indiedev

We've been quiet on social media these last couple of weeks. The team has grown to 3 and we've done a a kick-off + hackathon for our first game as a team! We started with an idea and a whiteboard. Now it’s starting to look suspiciously like a game - rough still but progressing! #gamedev #indiedev

The arena floor in PULSE//ZERO is not a backdrop — it is a single shader that listens to the whole game and answers in light. Here is what the Living Grid is, why a reactive stage is the thing that ma...

Feel like adding more theme unlocks for PULSE//ZERO. One I have in mind is Game Boy but need a name for it that won’t get me sued and is more exciting than “handheld”. Thoughts?

We open-sourced the tempo-locked adaptive music system from PULSE//ZERO's next update. One 0–1 intensity dial blends the layers; section changes crossfade on the bar line, so a boss theme switches in without a tempo clash. github.com/Northforge-Interactive/adaptive-music-godot #godot #gamedev

Just had to ship a hotfix for PULSE//ZERO that I could not for the life of me replicate on my own machine. A weird one too based on integer limit difference between #godot and javascript/typescript which is what we use for the backend of the leaderboards. but its fixed!

Making soundtracks is hard. More so when you’re trying to do it all in code - not sure why I decided that was the right choice for PULSE//ZERO but here we are! But it is fun for sure. Maybe I should hire a composer and do it properly though? How are other folks doing soundtracks? #indiegamedev
