Particles are NOT easy, man. I spent so much time trying to understand how particles in @godotengine.org work! 😭
Projectile traces, player and mouse explosion on death, background stars!
They're not perfect, but I'm happy of what I learned this time.

I had some free time so I added a local search functionality to my blog website.

Cooked up a post about the neat little script button feature in @godotengine.org, because why not.
I'm not sure whether such posts are worth making, but I like writing these.
I'd appreciate your opinions!

Discovered a handy feature in @godotengine.org: Enabling "Show Script Button" in Editor Settings -> Interface -> Scene Tabs adds a clickable "script" icon to each scene tab. I find this very useful as the project grows with scripts and scenes!

Next, an asteroids clone. My goofy take on it: a ship of cheese, mice as asteroids, and small humans as extra enemies! Focusing on physics-based movement, screen-wrapping, game juice and particles!
Already got this little guy working in 2/3 hours! 😊

Okay, one more post, last one for now, I promise. I made an attempt at creating my very own tutorial for a particular issue I had with the TextureProgressBar in @godotengine.org.
Struggling as well? Perhaps I can help. 😊

"I need to go" has been remade! A new logo, remade art, and balanced gameplay! Get to the bathroom quickly before time runs out, but look out for the incoming traffic and pedestrians! More points if you're quick!

I've re-evaluated the assets, colors, game balance, and overall feel of my third game. With more experience, I'm much happier with it now. A stronger, second look established how much I've learned so far. I'm very proud of myself!
Check out the level coming together!

I'm revising my art for "I need to go" so it reflects my improvements in art. Applying color theory, wasting less time by using Aseprite's shortcuts.
For example the racing car, a fast obstacle that needs to be timed to dodge, in 3 color variants.

I've been working on improving "I need to go". I am not content with the released version. Mostly focusing on learning color theory basics to improve level design. I'm proud of my progress, the improvements are small but noticeable to me!
Have a look! 😊

Another post written, this time about Keybricks and going a bit more in depth in the biggest hurdles I experienced, and the most valuable lessons I learned.
I made this one a bit longer, please let me know if you have any feedback! 🙏

My game development journey is going well, I'm pleased with my progress. Sharing it with friendly faces here really adds to it, thanks everyone! The character limit on Bluesky feels restricting, so I'll build a page to more freely speak of my experience!
