Here's a few more

Text in a version control program reading: "6/10/2025: Changes have been applied to the rest of the attacks, the old code is still there, just commented out, I fear admitting any amount of hope for this solution, lest the gods hear my pride and strike me down for my hubris"

Text in a version control program reading: "4/17/2025: Completed the credits and controls scenes, began working on the guide scene, fixed the animation cancelling and disrespectful peck on Gentoo's slap attack, but I am unfortunately tearing at the seams attempting to fix the shadow attack. I am upset and concerned for my own health."

Text in a version control program reading: "11/22/2024: NOW I fixed the bug. The false hope and subsequent rage spiral of the previous commit has been rectified.

In honor of a year and a half working on Flightless Fighters, I've compiled a few of my favorite version control comments. I'd love to see the comments fellow indie devs have left on their own work... 👀 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames

Text in a version control program reading: "1/13/2025: Idle state bug is fixed. I am both relieved and angry, but not surprised.

Text in a version control program reading: "2/8/2025: Disrespectful peck should be fixed, BUT ALAS, we programmers and playtesters hath been ambushed! By a new and dangerous enemy... his name be... THE SHADOW ATTACK!!! He be the most fearsome bug in all the land! We may never hope to defeat such a foe..."

Text in a version control program reading: "4/14/2025: Fixed animation cancelling (yay!) fixed the disrespectful peck (yippee!) the shadow attack has returned (dear god)"

Text in a version control program reading: "6/10/2025: I think I have solved the issue with Disrespectful Peck/ Shadow Attack, animation cancelling still exists, but it does not allow for steamrolling without attacking, fingers are crossed, I am burning incense and nailing horseshoes to my computer"

Finished up the ranged attacks in Flightless Fighters! I'm really happy with the animations, and programming went surprisingly smoothly! Blocking is the next mechanic on the list, and I'll probably start working on it today. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #indiegames #godot #madeingodot

I fixed up a few small things in Flightless Fighters! I added a stage selector along with 2 new stages, I made a simple health bar, and I (hopefully) fixed a huge attack bug I've been struggling with. My itch page should be updated with the new build tonight! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Took a bit of a break over the holidays to spend time with loved ones and recover from a busy semester, but now I'm ready to get back into the development of my game. Here's some concept art for 2 characters in Flightless Fighters (Little and Emperor) to start off the new year!

This is the initial concept art for Gentoo and Macaroni, two of the fighters in the game I'm developing. These were also the characters that appeared on the thumbnail of my first Flightless Fighters devlog. #indiedev #gamedev #conceptart

Here's some thumbnail art I did for the first devlog of my new project. The video and some more concept art will be published tomorrow! #indiedev #gamedev
