Expanded the tutorial to include 'advanced' that gives more detail includes different control prompts. Added options in the settings so this (and game language) can be changed. I also cleared out some old unused global variables as well. #IndieDev #Godot #Slimetopia #GameDev

A first devlog(?) has dropped. I talk about how I create the antagonists voice to life, among all of the things within The Curse Of Slimetopia. I also drop an estimate for both the demo and full release dates. youtu.be/wxEmgMzu8JE?... #indiedev #2dplatformer #slimetopia

Had a handful of people as me about the voice acting in the game. All of the voices so far are done by myself with the help of pitch shifting, reverb and layering multiple vocals. Working on a shortish tutorial video (10 minutes) on what I do. #indiegame #2dplatformer #voiceacting #slimetopia #audio

I have replaced the audio addon I was using with my own code. It's simpler and less reasource intensive, yet has far more possibilities. For example, I have added a pitch shift effect when the player dies. #IndieGame #2DPlatformer #IndieDev #Godot #steam #Slimetopia #gameaudio #wishlist

WIth a new player sprite comes new animations. Also I have now added ability icons to the UI so you can clearly see when you can/can't use your abilities. Overall it should be easier to tell what you are doing. #IndieGame #2DPlatformer #IndieDev #Godot #Steam #Slimetopia

PhoenixDragon Games - Wishlist The Curse Of Slimetopia now! @phoenixdragongames.bsky.social · 16/07/2026

It's time for the original player sprite to change from the shambling horror to something else. Being white/grey will allow for easier colour customisation in-game. Just need to do some shading work and all the animations. #slimetopia #pixelart #2dplatformer #indiegame

Not completely finished with the detailing but my first original character drawing is going okay. Here's a comparison of the drawing. Meet Slimetopia's antagonist Alastríona. They persistently try and make you give up (sometimes subtley, sometimes directly) #GameDev #SoloDev #PixelArt #2DArt #Indie

Looks like I'll be up all night with my daughter. It has given me a chance to implement player feedback regarding the difficulty my bosses. most are currently too punishing with not much chance for recovery. So a lot of slowing things down to increase chances to react. #gamedev #indiedev #daddev

If your most interesting mechanic doesn't appear in the first hour, most players won't find it. Games that hide depth behind 20 hours of play are designing for reviewers, not the audience that bounces at 2 hours. Where you put your best stuff matters as much as what it is. #gamedev #indiegames

#Devlog. I've been trying to make some improvments to my current tilemaps by either creating some cool new tiles or making older ones blend in better with each other. www.youtube.com/shorts/Cklos... #art #indiedev #solodev #platformer #steam #wishlist #godot #2d #pixelart

So glad I got a new drawing tablet. Managed to quickly add to a 30 peice tileset. Within a couple of hours it has increased to 70 peices but should now be missing peices that I previously required and some bits fit together better! #PixelArt #SoloDev #Slimetopia #GameDev #Godot #IndieDev

Always Comment your code. It may just have saved my game. After feedback I wanted to adjust a mechanic. Thanks past me for commenting what I was trying to do so I could better understand what I needed to change. The function's messy, but it's now a fun one #indiedev #godot #gamedev #solodev #code

1 more level + a final boss to go and I am content complete for nomal mode. Then my focus will shift more towards art, sound and maybe 1 or 2 extra songs. Speaking of... I have made another song for Slimetopia to use near the end of the game. on.soundcloud.com/s79pNIaiUnqD... #indiedev #solodev

The feature creep devil got me interested enough to spend 5 hours to see if multiplayer is possible. Short answer - Yes. Long answer - Yes, but I would need to learn a lot more as currently 2 of player abilities doesn't work at all for any player. Help! 😂 #gamedev #indiedev #godot #scopecreep

I love how powerful animation is in Godot but it takes a good amount of time to get right! It's taken me about 3 hours to do an 11 second animation for a new level on Slimetopia and it's not quite perfect yet. #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #godot #gamedev #2Dgame #2Dplatformer #wishlistonsteam

Not sure if it's just me, but I like to come up with ideas for potential future projects as motivation to finish my current one. I want to try 3D next time so something small will be ideal. I'm torn between a short JRPG or some sort of driving... or maybe both? 👀😂 #indiedev #indiegames

Haven't touched the music production side of Slimetopia in nearly a year. Made myself an interesting sample that I think may be fit to be the 'Hallucination' world boss song if I go further with it. A haunting sense of urgency! soundcloud.com/phoenixdrago... #IndieDev #GameMusic #SoloDev #GameDev

Recently discovered the power of the WorldEnviroment node in Godot. Looks like an essential for 3D, but even in my 2D game it's had a big impact on blending the colours together to make it more cohesive. As a newbie pixel artist, this is a godsend. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

A before/After comparison showing the difference between not having a WorldEnviroment node and having one.

Wearing all the hats is both a blessing and curse. It means I can usually get something done even if I only have a small amount of time and I can do something else if I feel blocked. However it also means that I HAVE to do a basic amount of everything to feel any progression. #indiedev #indiegame

Art isn't my strong suit, but I'm getting better with practice. It's nice to start replacing some of the placeholder tilemaps with something that brings the world to life a bit. Like this picture... Just seeing actual buildings give me a motivation boost. #indiegamedev

A partial replacement of the placeholder tilemap has been done and the level starts to come to life slightly!

Spent a night awake with a fussy newborn. Somehow managed to export my game onto Android. It was more of an exercise of 'can I?' as opposed to 'will I'. It would require more work than I can realistically put in to get it done on mobile properly. Good knowledge for future projects though! #indiedev
