i'm not dead! but well i did spend a couple months in and out of the clinic/ER. story for another time, though anyway, not a lot of stuff to report on WD. for as long as i'm the only regular artist, graphics updates are gonna slow things down a lot. before, and soon: #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Hey new folks, I know my pinned is about my 3D game jam, but I picked up my very FIRST game to work on again. Here's the three that inspire! One for town-building, one for the battle system, and one for... the... everything! My brain is kinda just always living in 2001-2009, I guess... 🤷‍♂️ #gamedev

so one of the new characters in wd has a power set canonically described as "controlling space" so naturally I made them capable of strike/throw mix, oki, poke and pressure at fullscreen and then proceeded to get completely washed by the CPU while playing as the game's grappler

has anybody ever had an issue where running a game maker build in editor works as normal, but exporting it results in an old version of your game being compiled ?? gm refuses to create an .exe of bell spell 0.9.11 and it's getting on my nerves #gamemaker #indiedev #gamedev

I'm reaching a breaking point with how much I'm willing to exclusively focus on netplay and associated setup for WD. It seems I simply was out of my depth on this one. Anyone know anyone with skills at the intersection of Godot, Steam, and online multiplayer?? #gamedev #indiedev

got restless and learned more 3D modeling, animation, shading stuff. figured out how to import it into godot and render something to a flat texture i think it'll be easier to animate in blender rather than directly in engine this is perhaps a surprise tool that will help us for later #gamedev

[resurfaces from the goo] so two RPGs i'd been waiting forever for released within the span of a month and i essentially haven't done literally anything in weeks as a result that said, it's looking like i didn't make the cut for magfest, so i'm not terribly concerned about relaxing for the moment 💙

Typhoon Unit is built around swapping between the trio and using their abilities in combination. If you chain abilities together, you build up Synergy Combo, which grants all of your characters a power boost and scores you way more points! --- #shmup #stg #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gamemaker
