Game dev until the doctor comes!
I really like the Odin programming language and raylib.

Still struggling coming up with good levels!
Feels like I can only create a decent level if it serves a specific purpose or teaches the player something. Otherwise, all the levels just feel arbitrary and I can't really say if they are any good...

Updated the first game I did to check out odin and raylib. This whole thing really is just a programming exercise and really crappy but it is playable on itch and I am happy I got it to work as a web build.

Disco Snake by Joe Hazelnut
Small snake game, with an additional color change mechanic. Really just a programming exercise!

I have implemented all that I wanted for the Sokoban Raylib clone and could straight up design levels now, but it is also the first time that I have a holistic overview of the project as a whole, and immediately the urge for refactoring and restructuring the codebase bubbles up inside of me.

Team Cherry making a big countdown to announce that Silksong is canceled would be the most hilarious thing ever! I would genuinely love it!
Jokes aside, I really liked Hollow Knight and can't wait for Silksong!

Today was the day that I would build a bunch of levels for the Sokoban clone. After 3 hours I only had one relatively bad and half-finished blueprint. Made me realize how wrong I was in considering programming to be the hard part of gamedev and that design goes by itself. #gamedev #raylib #odin

Had this idea for the sokoban clone that made it necessary to refactor a lot of gameplay code. It took a long time but was worth it. Not only is the new system much cleaner and more expandable, but it also saved me around 1000 lines of code. #gamedev #indiedev #odin #raylib

Working on a sokoban-clone and took some time building a small level-editor. I kept it simple:
- place tiles on 2 different layers
- save/ load to/from .json
- swap between playable level and editor
Despite the minimalism, it already makes the process of building levels mush faster and enjoyable.

I don't know much about music, but these 4 bad boys in LMMS are really fun to play around with. I'll just keep turning some wheels with strange names until a somewhat passable chiptune comes out... fingers crossed...

sorry for the bad art, but the animation system works!

Decided that "game.after.game" challenge 2 in Odin and Raylib is going to be a Ninja-themed endless runner. Nothing too special, just jumping, dodging, collecting coins and throwing some good old shuriken. Also, gonna use pixel art, because I am not capable of anything else.

Updated game 1 "disco snake" to correctly deallocate some sound ressources and also made a linux build, that runs on Ubuntu/Debian.

I am also doing some small Raylib tests for the second game, on which I will soon start working.

Challanged myself to learn game-programming with odin and raylib by doing "game.after.game". Finished game 1: "Disco Snake". Nothing special, just a programming exercise really.
