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

The records also don't count any CPU matches-- There *was* one player who picked a level 12 CPU Conrad to fight against and was not going to get up until he won one match 😭 ended up being like 1-8 to 1-10 or something

I have some ideas, but also he has by far the highest skill floor in the game 💀 One person started figuring him out and became almost untouchable though!

yes, there's burst, perfect parry, roman cancels, mix, at least one reverse beat, whiff punish mechanics, juggles, and leveled supers. yes I played SF6 and GGST for a stupid amount of time prior to making this #cb2025

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

gotta be honest I thought the format of the game precluded me from being subject to traditional zoner vs. grappler dynamics

020

Taizen Chisou @taizen-chisou.bsky.social · 10/05/2025

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

I really can't thank you enough, you've really shed a light on the cause for 2 hours of pulling my hair out Guess I should set up a test branch on Steam before I try showing off a dev build of my game again >_>

Taizen Chisou @taizen-chisou.bsky.social · 20/04/2025

Wait holy shit is this really what's happening So I gotta either patch the game (in a play test branch) or disable Steam if I wanna test the standalone??

Taizen Chisou @taizen-chisou.bsky.social · 19/04/2025

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

honestly the fact that he clawed his way to grand finals from a frame 1 shunt to losers was the most impressive thing the whole tourney

maybe it's just bc this is my first time watching capcup through but I can't believe Capcom only prepared one b-roll to fill downtime with for 30 broadcast hours

Taizen Chisou @taizen-chisou.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

Something about the way I've set things up is making it just not work and I'm losing my mind trying to sort it out. It is NOT so important to me that I do all of the code that I wanna hold back actual progress even more for this to start working. Please send me someone that can figure this out 😩

020

Taizen Chisou @taizen-chisou.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

The save state system is, of course, at the heart of my attempted rollback implementation. How it works is, entities save snapshots of their state every frame and a prior one gets loaded whenever a rollback gets triggered- then the game resimulates the rewinded frames all at once.

110

Taizen Chisou @taizen-chisou.bsky.social · 01/02/2025

For anyone that might be interested in taking it on, This is a setup where I have a managed update loop that can be fired any amount of times per actual frame, as well as a deep game state save system that can be used to load and reload positions, projectiles, pets, animation states, everything.

Taizen Chisou @taizen-chisou.bsky.social · 31/01/2025

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
