Built out a tutorial level of my latest prototype where you zip around between targets with a whip. Haven’t worked on any visuals but would love to get feedback #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #godot #platformer

Replaying FireRed has left me wanting to draw pokemon traditionally like i did when i was a kid. I had a total blast drawing these. ✏️#drawing #illustration #pokemon #fireredleafgreen #windandwaves #nintendoswitch

Had a hard time with this one today but daily drawings do be like that, it gets really challenging at times. Some drawings turn good, some maybe not as much and it's hard to accept but you just have to keep going and try again tomorrow

Starfox inspired shoot-em-up where you switch between different elemental weapons? Yeah why not. #godot #gamedesign #devlog #indiedev #indiedevlog #aseprite #indiegames #gamedesign #starfox #shootemup

Haven’t been able to post for a week or so as I’ve been away on holiday, but I’m back with new sprites and new assets! The background is a WIP, but I’m really happy with the new tile set.

What’s a pirate game without treasure! (and trap doors!) There’ll be tons of trinkets to collect, and they are now logged on the world map. As always, let me know what tou think! #godot #gamedev #devlog #indiedev #asesprite #indiegame #gamedesign

Changed up the Skelly’s main weapon, he now has a bonerang (no way I can get that name in an E for everyone game). Let me know what you think! #godot #gamedev #devlog #indiedev #asesprite #indiegame #gamedesign

Little update on the Pirate Platformer! We have an updated attack (the Skelly now pulls a rib from his chest like a sword!), brand new spider enemies (sprites pending) that hop around, and the first music track in the game! #devlog #indiedevlog #godot #gamedev #indiegame #aseprite #indiedev

The music is courtesy of a good friend of mine, and I couldn’t be happier with this first track. Music in games is so important to me, and there’s no one I’d trust more to create it :)

Added in the first draft of sprite tiles for the jungle level, and a new melee attack where the player character swings his arm like a sword. Let me know what you think! #godot #devlog #indiedevlog #aseprite #indiegame #gamedesign #platformer #gamedevelopment

Added a new room transition method, which is going to make my life so much easier. Before I was creating and loading individual rooms, now they’re all one scene and the camera shifts focus. Reallt happy with how it turned out! #godot #gamedev #devlog #indiedev #platformer #gamedesign #indiegames

Another little demonstration of some movement mechanics, as well as the first unveiling of this charming little skeleton pirate (arms pending). Let me know what you all think! All feedback appreciated! :) #godot #gamedev #gamedesign #indiedev #devlog #aseprite #platformer

New platformer Prototype! Working with placeholder sprites but I’ve added in some new movement mechanics, such as bomb jumping, and summoning the ghost of a beloved pirate parrot to glide around! #platformer #indiedev #gamedev #godot #indiegame #devlog #gamedesign

We have the first area blocked out! It’s missing all the assets, but on first look, what do you all think! I’d love to get as much feedback as possible, so please let me know! #gamedev #devlog #gamedesign #indiedev #indiegames #aseprite #godot

Over the past couple days, we have added a series of new environmental assets, as well as a brand new flying enemy! This was fun for me to work on, as the direction of the projectile tracks the players position. #gamedev #devlog #indiedev #indiegame #gamedesign #aseprite #godot

We now have a block out got the introductory level! You'll find yourself stranded on an alien planet, and need to scavenge for materials to make new paths forward. Let me know what you think! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #indiegame #devlog #godot #aseprite #platformer

Sam Game Dev. 🎮 @sw1ll.bsky.social · 02/05/2025

Alongside the grind gun, the other main mechanic of my new project is a scan and log feature. As you explore an alien planet, you can catalog all the materials and enemies you encounter! #gamedev #gamedesign #indiegame #indiedev #godot #aseprite #devlog #platformer

Got an update on my new prototype! The main mechanic of using the grind gun to scale walls and break objects is coming together, and we have expanded sprites for the player (there’s also a sneak peak at the first enemy) #gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign #devlog #aseprite #godot #platformer
