Started implementing spell mutators today! Mutators are extra effects that can change the way a spell works. It can be subtle, or not so subtle.

Today let's demonstrate modifying the Cone spell to utilize the "Prismatic" mutator, which will randomize the element of each shot!

As a consequence of adding critical hits as my next spell effect, I finally put damage numbers in the game. Quite pleased with the result!

Today's work. I added the "Charge" mutator to spells. If the player charges up their basic slash and then tries to cast a spell, you'll cast a powered-up version of it!

I think I'm going to have to remove the damage cap for this game; I suspect players will reach it too easily... 💦

Jinx spell complete. This one took a bit, as there are six different possible outcomes:

- 3 Stars (fullscreen attack)
- 3 Diamonds (healing)
- 3 Skulls(enemy)(instant kill)
- 3 Skulls(boss)(4x damage)
- Fail to match (1x damage)
- Exceed max # active targets (1 unavoidable damage)

Spell Name: Ablation
Cast Type: Flotilla

Like every spell, the player can customize the various attributes of Flotilla to alter the projectile speed, spawn rate, number of knives, and so on.

This was a fun one to make. Just aim, then release the spell to unleash the knives.

Introducing the Moledrake enemy! This sassy little yam loves to hide among the plants and ambush foes with a piercing shriek.

Moledrake - despite their disruptive nature some purposefully cultivate them as guards citing "their bark is worse than any bite"

( concept art for Coruncopia @studiosunshower.bsky.social )

In Coruncopia, the player can modify any spell they find, including the element. Behold the Cube spell, which simply summons a cube that can be pushed around, used to block attacks, and even detonated to produce an explosion.

Every spell in the game has a unique appearance per element! #gamedev

This week marks one year of developing Coruncopia on the Godot Engine! #Godot #GodotEngine #gamedev

Doing some chill gamedev on this Friday afternoon. Come hang out!

We've been working hard on a lot of the main systems (not quite so flashy), but also developing some of the environments as well (appropriately flashy).

Please enjoy this humble taste. #godot #gamedev #pixelart #ドット

Soon we'll have video on here, right? Anyway, in the meantime, come hang out on stream while we do game development! www.twitch.tv/phanterm_

Cooking up some juicy spells in Godot 4! Come join us over on www.twitch.tv/phanterm_ and relax!

Another day, another dev stream. Come join us over on www.twitch.tv/phanterm_ and relax!

There's tons of stuff I'd love to show regarding game progress updates, but Bluesky still doesn't support videos or GIFs yet.

But that's okay.

Based on what the platform is trying to do, I think Federation (if well executed) should take higher priority. I don't want to migrate platforms again...

The stress testing, ehhh, it is not so stressful, actually!

Made all the fun logic for collisions and attacks working; and Godot runs pretty smoothly given how complex these enemy node groups are.

We have a website now! Find us online at www.studiosunshower.com !

Starting up our Godot project. Hi, Nil!
