Solo indie gamedev making a zeldalike! ...in Godot!
I love exploring dungeons, cool puzzles and rich game mechanics that allow for shenanigans. I may also be susceptible to roguelikes and procgen.

Hi! I'm Mack and I'm making a zeldalike game! It's early days but I want to share my progress with everyone as I work and make things. I can't wait to see all the cool things everyone else is making!

I've never really understood the draw of CRT shaders... well, until I made one!
Here's a high-res screenshot of the game that got me hooked. I rendered at 🔍8x zoom to hopefully let the details come out. Ah, I've such fond memories of the gb/gbc!
LCD shaders > CRT shaders 😾

I’m working on an indoor map.
After learning a bit about 2D lighting and placing some lights, the atmosphere changed dramatically.
I’m really like it. 😊

I'm thinking of adding a dedicated strafing button to keep the player locked-on in a particular direction. Maybe I'll just build this into the items that require it? Previously only the sword does this when you hold it out, and the bow is basically a pain to aim consistently. #gamedev #indiegame

A mysterious tower appears in the woods overnight. Chico and his new friend Beeatrice are going to explore it and solve its mysteries together!
