WIP of the portal visuals for Helmet Head. The idea is the cyclops lines up her magical eye with the portal arch, it opens wide to fill the space, and starts up this swirly animation that shows your destionation.
Then you step into the eye...

Happy #screenshotsaturday, folks.
I've been mocking up some ideas for the hub biome in Helmet Head, and the portal that will teleport you between biomes. I'm liking the vibe of this so far. The setting will be the site of an ancient, titanic battle. Still needs more to bring that across.

Upcoming discovery mechanic in AstraX, a 2D space exploration game 🚀

It simulates mapping & exploring an entirely unknown world. Instead of showing data about planets, the UI shows discoveries you made of them

Orange&Green = implemented as of v0.7 (coming soon) #gamedev #indiegames #spacegame

Attention Indie Devs!

I just need 15 seconds ... of your game footage! A lot of people jumped on the 15s video trend, so I thought it would be cool to make a compilation to help indies get some visibility.

The anti-spam key is "kook".

Some enemy animations. I’m trying to think of ways to take advantage of a persistent world:

Eggs that grow over time and hatch. Getting them earlier will be easier to deal with. Also, even more giant spiders.

Is your dream basketball video game a one-button game where you can keep checking the time on your wristwatch? Oh boy, do I have some good news for you!

Added these two gestures in the game. Tried lots of other features this week, but this is the only one that stuck :--)

Helmet Head is my action #roguelike project. Fight your way through the Plane of the Forgotten using various weapons, upgrades, perks and helmets.
Use your weapon upgrades, items and the environment to take advantage of the elemental combo system and thwart your foes!

Started working on a progression system for your Animons where you can increase affection levels (by taking them on runs) and trick mastery (by using the trick)

Progress is shared among Animons with the same name/number.

Something a little different. An in-editor look at what the boss phase 2 scene looks like after all the bones and IKs are set up. In the interest of being able to see anything, I hid the bone gizmos though 😂
