Finally added a working crossbow. It only took me three weeks of refactoring my physics system to use a fixed timestep and fixing all the little glitches related to fast-moving projectiles and collision detection. Next Bows🏹

2023 will be the year of new things.. I bought a new refurbished laptop (Dell Latitude 7300 13") and decided to give #Linux a try (Ubuntu latest LTS version installed) :linux:

I'm trying to think more about my environment impact and I'd like to get more involved in open-source tools as well

I also plan to use #Godot more to get my hands on it, and learn GDScript. If I feel confident I may even try to release gamejam entries using it still this year :godot:

A major change occurred in my life, so it's only fair to update my game design blog.

This one has more to do with personal considerations, but it does impact how I will work on the game in a major, and hopefully positive, way.

I hope to get more work done, and maybe to even get more frequent updates on the blog itself.

To prevent a further same mistake, I'm searching a way to change color of editor window, by build configuration. I added some warning text, but it did not work well.

Ahhh I'm shameful.

This was my shameful mistake! I confused the debug mode binary and the development binary! The document was correct, I was wrong. Enum need still E! I apologize!

Changing the words used for base terms is a horrible.

I'm in the middle of renaming all words "Direction" To "Bearing, because the meaning of "Direction" is too wide. I thought that the "Bearing" is suitable to this military fiction taste game.

This work demands me to focused time with high attention. Not short time, but it need.

Today I started working on a new location, the caves.

Still in "juicy" part in my game, now I tried another approach, where instead of "zoom in", it is "zoom out".
I think that it fits better the gameplay style, and you, what do you think?

But I think about some possibility about they does not react about it, also. I have experiences in a large company in this industry, those experiences are not short. So I can understand that partly.

With some sadness.

Some short brief history: https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/am-i-ghostbanned/545217/10

https://forums.unrealengine.com/t/document-for-the-core-redirect-need-to-be-corrected/1175921

I posted to forum.

With some sadness.
Will they care about this?
I don't know...

If my recognition is right, for some time, staffs from Epic did not appear in the forum of their site, except announcements. And in these days, I could see them in the forum. So I decided to get some hope again.

"For example, ESampleEnum would remain ESampleEnum when referenced by a Core Redirect." - https://docs.unrealengine.com/5.2/en-US/core-redirects-in-unreal-engine/

No. It is not.

From now, maybe after 5.2, we must detach E from enum name when we apply core redirect to enum.

I got lots of BP compile error and surprised. But after I remove E from enum, it works well as before.

Some new gameplay including deployable mines and a very effective use of a laser sword.

And, within I write this post, I got some new good idea to solve the pathfinding problem in the *virtual* vertical tiles.

Writing about the problem is useful > _ < !!!

The horizontal coordinates consist of a grid of regularly sized tiles, but the vertical coordinates of the tiles are irregular. It can have any value, but I wanted to express the ambiguous terrain height difference in ground battles with this.

The multiple tiles within vertical space, and the vertical movement of aircraft unit, and the vertical movements robot that can jump and can do limited flight makes this problem make more difficult and complex.

Finalized the global nebula mesh. Finally I am satisfied enough to move on.

There is still remained things that I have to think about -

- how to construct the informations of tiles, and connection informations between tiles,
- how to handle the vertical movement within multiple vertical tiles,
- how to reconstruct informations about destructed tiles.

This is very basical problem. And I started this work before several years. But this things exist still. Not done yet. This makes me surprise sometimes. Still? Still are you here?

Welp! Just updated PENITENCE to Unity 2021, as well as the latest versions of all the plugins/assets and... it went more smoothly than I thought it would!

One asset I had to delete then reimport, while another had all the settings on the main manager component reset for some reason, so had to copy from screengrabs from the old project (kept a backup, obvs).

So just one new Unity UI issue to look into, and hopefully it's all good :)

The entrance to a cave. In the distance you see ribs towering over you. There is a giant skull decorated with giant red flowers laying on the ground. It is beautiful and terrifying.

Pink glowing flowers dot a shoreline. There are sharp rocks protruding everywhere. The actual shoreline looks like it is made of obsidian. Light is glowing through cracks in the ground. It looks dreamy.

A wall is broken and in the distance, where it broke, you see a nebula. It looks like you are in a hallway in space. There is writing on the wall talking about self-hate and a dialogue bubble just underneath.

I giant skeleton rests against an iridescent obsidian cave wall. The cave is glowing like it is made of stars. It is gently purple, pink, and blue. The skeleton looks like it is made of old rock. It is holding a beautiful large red flower.

This is an article from 2019 but it does show that indie game development, something that has interested me for quite some time now, is far from being all roses with many in the industry living precarious lives.

I already knew that it is hard for the vast majority (or long tail) of developers, but reading actual stories, including from Arvi Teikari who created Baba Is You, a game I bought, provides a lot of perspective.

TL:DR
According to this article:
Only 15% of indie developers break $100,000, less than 5% break $500,000.
The average developer makes less than $13,000 on a given game, that may have taken several months or even years to create.

i'm on the final stretch!
i finished putting in the writing for this last part... nice pop ups, dialogue, and another story segment.
i'm moving on to sound and music now... then i have something to finally show!!! 🎉

A group of eyes circles around you, in a cosmic dreamscape. They are asking horrible prying questions.

Two eyes stand beside a giant chain. The chain looks frozen as there are frost marks on it. The space surrounding everything is a cosmic dreamscape. The two eyes are looking at you, asking horrible prying questions.

Ruins of a staircase, and part of a wall, lay embedded in a obsidian hillside. The wall has the word "Freedom" written on it with an arrow pointing to an archway.
The space surrounding everything is a cosmic dreamscape.

In front of a cosmic dreamscape sky is a pop up window with a story titled "Her Eye". It is telling you about the eyes, and that they eventually stop paying attention to you once the novelty of you wears off. It makes sense in context of the game.

#IndieGames #IndieGameDev #GameDev

yay! today i finished modeling and animating the first monster that confronts you.
it moves kind of randomly and it has this beautiful static shader so it looks like it crawled out of a broken TV. i'm nicknaming it STATICMAN.
it mocks your desire to be free & you have to argue with it so it lets you go on...

a closer view of STATICMAN. it looks like a silhouette of a demon Barbie filled with static. there's a text field under it with a similar effect. it looks jarring.

another angle of the character. you can see a silhouette filled with static. the only indication of a face are glowing white eyes and a mouth that's always open. there's a text field at the bottom of the screen showing what it is saying.

another angle of the same shot showing STATICMAN in a different pose. its mouth is ajar and glowing eyes staring at you. there's a text field beneath it taunting you. the only thing separating you from it are the bars between the two of you.

a closer angle of STATICMAN. you can see the static glowing. it is slightly transparent and you can see the hallway behind it. glowing eyes and mouth are staring at you. it looks unsettling.

I finally set up an edge climbing animation

The game had come a long way since I started... 🤩
#indiegamedev #pixelart #godotengine

side by side comparison of Xenospore, an isometric pixel art strategy game about defending humanity from a red alien fungus. The mouse selects tiles and destroys them. To the left - unrefined pixel art and rough animation / gameplay. To the right - the current version, 1.1, much more refined.

isometric colorful pixel art tiles of different structures and biomes, and a red fungus that spreads. The mouse selects tiles, and adjacent tiles that infect them or adjacent tiles that will be infected are highlighted.

The process of solving a level
#indiegamedev #pixelart #godotengine

isometric pixel art tiles of different structures and biomes, and a red alien fungus that tries to consume everything in its path. The level is sped up and shows how to save all the buildings from being destroyed.

I admit it... Sometimes I'm just evil... 😈
The structure that resembles an electric pole separates the selection of adjacent tiles.
#indiegamedev #pixelart #godotengine

isometric pixel art tiles of infected houses, red fungus and a structure that resembles an electric pole. The structure alters the mechanics of the game, making it impossible to select all of the houses in order to cleanse their infection, which results in some of the houses getting destroyed by the alien xenospore organism.

Chain reactions are predictable and can be viewed when selecting tiles. They are also very deadly. 🤯
#indiegamedev #pixelart #godotengine

Isometric pixel art colorful tiles of different biomes and structures. There is a line of adjacent expolsive structures. One of the structures in the line is infected and about to explode. The mouse selects other tiles in the chain and the "chain explosion starter" is revealed along with all the tiles that will react to it. On the next turn, the infected tile explodes, resulting in a massive chain reaction of explosions that cover everything in a toxic, red alien fungus.

y'all i got the dialogue (story) into the opening scene and ✨ IT IS SO BEAUTIFUL!! 🌌
i am proud of this work. lol screenshots don't do it justice... but look!
it switches between Bitsy and navigating the 3D environment. text is delivered in pieces... it's effective!

the closing scene with the eye, delivering the last set of dialogue. the eye is large and in a 2D animation style. it is surrounded with tiny stars.

a distorted glitchy forest is visible behind an animated gif of an eye. the gif looks like a button.

a Bitsy space is displayed on top of the 3D world. the surroundings are glitchy. there is a forest filled with dead trees on both sides.

as you approach the eye a void opens behind it. you can see stars in the void. the eye looks brighter, contrasted against the dark background. dead trees surround you. there are rays of light coming out from behind the dark void.

Alien fungus spread 🍄

Hello everyone! I'm #indiedev from Ukraine. I am working on my #metroidvania and this is my first post here. I develop it on Construct 3. And two days ago I created a Steam page. This is side-scroller metroidvania about girl who saves her village from a terrible epidemic with gameplay like in classical metroidvanias.

The title art for the jam page featuring stylish lettering saying “fuck capitalism” and art depicting a rich capitalist not feeling well because the workers are digging tunnels in him. the workers look like lemmings from the lemmings games.
