When trying to move into an occupied cell, you can now spend all your remaining steps to push the occupant away! Also updated enemy heuristics so they know to push allies closer to the player, & crush the player against walls >:) #GodotEngine #IndieDev #GameDev

This is what the writing in the Beamcaster path sounds like

Movement is now simulated & previewed in the UI! Attacks simulate as normal, but now you can hold RMB (or whatever the binding is set to) to simulate moves instead This'll be necessary for previewing the more complex movement actions I'm adding next #GodotEngine #IndieDev #GameDev

Setting up tombstone ricochets is easily the best part of my game right now, tho they're also an "advanced" technique I wouldn't expect new players to engage with. Gonna have to add some more intermediate stuff to build strategies around

My search algorithm doesn't format the output yet - but I think I just found a new Order 5 as well :P The world record is an Order 9, so gonna have to get more creative if I wanna search sized that large

Think I discovered a new Order 4 magic hexagon? At least I haven't seen this one documented anywhere Every cell contains the integers between -18 to 18 Every row sums to 0

But imagine if the game looked like this instead Nintendo has the technology, not everything needs to look like Unreal engine

ya could also try rendering it with two copies of the sprite instead of billboarding / wrapping it around a tube- I kinda like how this looked at different angles

Added particle effects & some basic tweens to the attack effects, so combat should be much easier to read #GodotEngine #IndieDev #GameDev Gonna be running another local playtest soon, but the core combat system feels like it's comin' together

My mom takes very good photos of me & my dad I live in a very different sphere than my parents, who are completely alien to games as a medium (while games make up 99% of my personality). But it's always fun havin' them visit

Threw together some tool for writing poems in the form of a crossword One word is locked in at random, and you form 2 sentences out of the horizontal & vertical lines might add more to it later, tho if anyone wants to try it: tasty-lemon.itch.io/crossword-th...

Here's what it looks like in-game Doin a bunch of polish on the attack animations, this is probably as far as I'll take the knockback / crush effect for now

New "glass shatter" shader I wrote for when units are pushed into a wall / other units Uses a single mesh & some cheesy vertex displacement maths #GodotEngine

Units can now be killed, and leave a tombstone on death! Use tombstones as cover, or deflect shots off them to hit enemies >:) #GodotEngine #IndieDev #GameDev Next up is polishing the attack animations for clearer effects

The Hexagonal Pixel agenda grows >:) It's cool that you'd committing to 60-60-60 triangles for your pixels- I had to settle on 30-60-90 for my game because I'm too attached to 90 degree corners

when writing bug reports, it's important to keep them aligned with a monospace font 😛
