Been working on a game for the #gmtkjam recently! Heres some footage of the current state of one of the boss fights. Should likely be releasing in around 12 hours when the jam ends. If anyone wants to help playtest for balancing purposes let me know #gamedev #godot

Discovered my game has some sick tech - if you dodge at the top of a lift, like a lift jump your momentum is transferred but it goes forward instead of up, so you can yeet yourself super far! I'm leaving that in for sure, its too much fun. #altfire #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #ue5 #arenafps

A more animated look at the model of Alt-Fire's assault rifle. While rule of cool comes first in an arena shooter, I like to make weapons somewhat sensible. Magazines, a bolt, a chamber, ways to reload - even if gameplay stretches realism. #altfire #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #fps #ue5 #blender
