Continuing work on this hookshot game, you can now pull things, pull things off other things, bounce off walls, dash, sprint, and more. A lot of this may not make the final cut (or may need changes), but that's why we prototype! (Trail included to show and test movement) #gamedev #indiedev

Finished up zipping, pulling, and auto-targeting prototypes. Right now the playground doesn't do much with them (just enough to make sure they work), but the code is modular and extensible so it's super easy to build on this baseline and do some really juicy stuff! #gamedev #indiedev #prototype

Continuing to work on that prototype, the grappling hook is... "working..." but there are some weeeeeird bugs that I only have a vague idea of how to fix. Good thing bugfixing is so much fun :) #gamedev #indiedev #prototype

Spent the day prototyping an aim snapping system. It turned out a lot juicier than I expected, but definitely revealed a few issues with the camera! Having this system will help inform level design as well as several other mechanics, so it was important to get it nailed down early.

I may be the first person to complete Mina the Hollower's secret ending (Sinless%) without using any modifiers at all. It's not as hard as I expected, and took only 3 attempts (started with Sinless-0). Really fun run with some very unique challenges! #minathehollower #challengerun #sinless

A screenshot of Lionel, one of the major characters in Mina the Hollower, saying, "Does no one have a single complaint?" to a room full of guests at a dinner party. In a normal run, Lionel would accuse the player of committing various sins throughout the game, but in a Sinless% playthrough, he finds no fault with your actions.

Lionel and Mina stand satisfied on the island hideout of one of the game's main antagonists, having destroyed all of the plans and documents there. This is the epilogue scene of the game's secret ending.

My final save file. The name of the file is Sinless-2, counting attempts starting from 0. The final time was 10:29:11, with a very low completion percentage. Only two trinkets are equipped: A defense booster, and a trinket that boosts damage for each consecutive hit. The option to "Begin New Game+" is available, showing that this save file has been completed.

#portfolioday Hey! I'm Daniel, a game design student focused on systems and gameplay. I love making (and talking about!) games of all kinds, and I'm always up for a friendly chat. I just finished making my portfolio site using @neocities.org, so feel free to check it out! drothlis.neocities.org

An image of Fishing For Space (a card game I made with some friends) being played. Several cards are laid on top of each other to satisfy placement rules while maximizing points earned.

A screenshot from the first level of TD Ex Machina, a fast-paced tower defense game with deckbuilder elements I made with a friend for a charity game jam. A sniper tower sits in the center of the map, holding off a wave of enemies.

A screenshot from Pierced, a mini-metroidvania I made for a charity game jam. The player character has just obtained the ability to dash to their spear's position, and is throwing the spear into a distant wall in order to cross a large gap.

We raiding the GTS with this one 🔥🔥🔥

This haircut was previously only available in Pokémon X/Y in Egypt, and users of the Pokémon GTS used this as a way to "show off" special pokémon. By setting the trade request to Pharaoh Trim Furfrou, users could practically guarantee their trades would never go through.

Spent the day greyboxing a map for Risk of Rain 2. It's tough to get the scale and metrics right!

This is my new favourite game of all time and nothing even comes close. Truly the best experience I've ever had with a game and more than I could have ever asked for.
