Duel - my new game - is out!

It's a short minimalist color-based fighting game.
It's small and simple, but I'm happy with the result and I hope you enjoy it!

👾 Play Duel for free here 🎮

All these numbers tell me that my combat system works, and that makes me feel very pog indeed 😎

Pretty happy with how it turned out 😎

Didn't post in a while BUT I've been working on the game and actually coded a new mechanic.
Surprisingly enough, it seems to work as intended 👀

Also reworked the UI and I'm much happier with it now. Still need work, though.

Also... Silksong 🫣

If you see this, post something monochromatic!

Maybe I'll come back to this style in a future project, who knows?

Mmmh... I don't really know which one I like better?
I like the menacing feel of one, but also the more bizarre look of the other...

Also... Yeah, it might be the first boss of the game 👀

Added some foreground elements while also trying to play with pixel size to convey a feeling of depth.
I think it's not that bad ^^

Hey, it's not that bad! 😁

I'm still trying to figure out the overall look of it, but I want to go for something miniamlist. I feel good about this for now ^^

My creative process is pretty consistent:
- postpone starting because I'm nervous it'll be bad
- look at tens of references
- start
- it is actually bad
- throw everything away
- take a break for a day or two
- come back to it
- start again
- hey, it's not that bad!

Every. Time.

Didn't have time to work on Heroic for a few weeks, so I was feeling a bit down about it.
So I decided to launch the game and... was actually quite happy with what's going on so far ^^

Can't wait to come back to it!

Keep on keeping on 👍

Hey, I actually like the mood I'm going for!
(Sorry for the mouse pointer, it won't be in the game... hopefully 🥵)

Ok, now hear me out... There's a good chance the RNG I coded for my game is working as intended 👀

"Passage" de @mistermv.fr me ramène toujours à des moments passés que je chéris de tout mon coeur.

Aucun regret ni aucune tristesse, juste la joie de les avoir vécus et la nostalgie de les avoir laissés derrière moi 🥲

Le temps avance, nous devons avancer avec lui.

I'm at that strange point where my game mechanic is "almost" working properly but is still "not really" working and is doing something that it shouldn't possibly be doing 🤷

Me: I've coded this system, let's see if it works for this character?

Game: It works, mate.

Me: Cool! Let's copy this to the other 3 characters.

Game: What if it works for another one and, for the others, it's completely broken and I don't tell you why?

😭

Ok, got a pretty basic gameplay loop set up. Still have a lot of things to work on, but it's a start ✌️

Finished Bloodborne once again.

It's been something like 6 years since I last played it and I was thinking that maybe it aged a bit, but no, it's still a bloody gem of a game and one that I truly admire for (amongst many other things) its ability to restrain itself for coherence's sake.

You know when you try to do something with your game, and you spend a day on it trying to figure out how to do it, and then you come back the next day and do it in 5 minutes and it was crazy easy?

Yeah... 🫣

Alright, started working on Heroic!
It's gonna be RNG heavy, I have something in mind that I want to try. We'll see how it goes.

Also, this time, I'll make a small prototype first 🫣

But I know I'll have to make some art. I can't work with only colored boxes.
