Boss fight! I spent some time on this project again, been a while. #godot #solodev #indiedev

Concept for the more abstract version for generating geometry, I placed those control points manually and I'm going to have to figure out a way to do that automatically. I might need to study splines again...

Godot3.5 interface displaying a planar graph consisting of a loop of 6 nodes and 1 node sticking outside in the bottom left. The nodes have various sizes and the size is displayed with a circle. Edges are drawn between connected nodes. Two blue curves, on the inside of the loop and around the entire graph, such that they smoothly touch all the circles. On each side of the curve are generated curves displayed in various colors.

Obviously a metroidvania needs some upgrades to collect :)

I wonder if I can make some funky mechanics with the moon in the background. #metroidvania #gamedev #indiedev

The moon framed above a torch in a swimmy metroidvania level. There is water on the sides of both the torch and the moon. The moon has a slight orange tint.

Sketched out this level earlier, time to test it out. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Experimenting with some enemy design. Here a projectile you can redirect, enemies that use this can then be defeated by their own projectiles :) #godot #gamedev #metroidvania

And I can pan the camera now :) still godot 3.5, so no phantom camera available...

Placing the particle effect in the brazier mechanic. It looks quite interesting like this. #metroidvania #gamedev #indiedev

And I’ve been trying some things with the background

Preview of my game with water on the bottom and left and a vibrant orange background with round shapes that disappear in the orange fog.

So experimenting a bit with that crescent particle shape.

Little concept of special gates (unlocks challenge/miniboss/whatever I come up with later), going to have to experiment with animating unlocking this.

Yellow player character in a 2d cave system. There are two vines blocking the way from the bottom and top, the two vines are connected by a spiral vine structure that vaguely resembles a heart (rotated by 100 degrees counterclockwise) with three purple orbs on it.

A little clip probably shows a bit better what I'm going for for touch controls now. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Virtual joystick sucks, so I made a virtual d-pad instead. Much better, and I also tested it on my phone (thanks web builds) #gamedev #indiedev #godot

2d sideview of a colorful metroidvania level. A yellow square shaped character with hands is swimming in water. Four white diamonds making a bigger diamond are located at the bottom left.

Working a little on adding touch support. Realizing that I absolutely suck at playing with virtual joystick, makes the game a lot harder. #gamedev #indiedev #metroidvania
