I need that. I've changed the names of the stat attributes of my game (at least) 4 times: - Some strange names so it fits the vibe - "Skin is one of the attributes, but what if I'm fighting a door???" - "These names are too strange, let's have generic ones" - "Fuck it, doors are made up of skin now"

The new Metroid looks sick. They could have announced it before the Switch 2 price increase though 🫠

Did some more stuff for the Playdate game. Some backend stuff related to the items and a WIP of some levels. You can tell the level is not finished by the chill placeholder corpse. And for some reason the simulator is exporting a reaaally slow gif. I 2x it and it's still slow.

WIP of a level of the #Playdate game. And today I learned about Aseprite's custom brushes. Thanks we live in a reality where they exist, as drawing each pixel by hand would be a nightmare.

if you only buy indie games that have been vetted by 1k+ reviews you go to super hell. spend 5 dollars on a game that looks neat and has 10 reviews.

Not a lot of progress (or at least not visually). Refactored the items system so the UI syncs better with the save system, to allow the player to use items in combat, etc. So you can throw a bomb (*pending animation*) to a skeleton now. #Playdate #GameDev

Finished a small prototype to test some mechanics. It was ok, so I'm planning on keep working on it to have a demo I can publish. I've been doing more backend stuff. Started building an item system and synced it with the save system. Nothing groundbreaking, but it's something! #PlayDate #GameDev

Transition for loading new levels in the #Playdate game. The native Playdate class doesn't have a way to revert an animation out of the box, so probably I'll just code a custom one later, as I don't want to duplicate the fade in and fade out transitions. #IndieDev #IndieGameDev

Programming some systems for the #Playdate game. It can save some variables in one scene (the player fell from the bridge) and read them on another scene (if the player fell, the enemies attack immediately). With this I can create more interesting levels. #gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegamedev

I haven't posted in a while! I've been doing some code for an 'exploration' mode of the #Playdate game. Doing the door sprite took me more time than it should, as it's a placeholder. But doing pixel art is fun.

I've been refactoring the code of the Playdate game so it can work on PC too. For the PC version, I'm using Love2D, as it's kind of similar to how the PD works. Not sure if I want it to have colors, but now there's the possibility! #gamedev #pixelart #ScreenshotSaturday

Immobile brambleborn that explode upon contact. They are cemented into the ground, and are often in plain sight dues to their bright yellow clothing. Upon death, trace amounts of gunpowder can be collected from their corpses. Keep your distance or send an amalgamoid to blow them up.
