Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No - but it is Resurge Studios' latest project, our #gmtkjam2025 entry 🥁 - KNOT FOR LONG.

Check it out at resurge.itch.io/knot-for-long!

We're really proud of this one, so any feedback would be much appreciated #gmtkjam #gamedev #pixelart

📆 New 30-day challenge!!

Some big progress on ROCKETPUNK 🚀 over the last couple of days - infinite level generation, new tiles, improvements to movement, implementation of background (not the final bg, more of a proof of concept)

#gamedev #pixelart

🚀 Really excited to say I’m working on a new project with Resurge Studios: ROCKETPUNK (provisional title 🏗️)

Massive credit to @humanisred.bsky.social for their sick project JB (humanisred.itch.io/operajamgame) as our major source of inspo for this project‼️

THE... GAME... IS... FINISHED! 🥳

Finally, after ~143 days, several hundred hours of work, it is finally complete (version 1 at least 😅)

A gameplay clip with SOUND to celebrate 🎵

🗓️ Day 23/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Not the most interesting tasks today, but got some stuff done I've been putting off - namely: a fully functional settings menu 🛠️ (why did this take so long WAAH..) and sound effects for more than just the gun..

🗓️ Day 19/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

🛠️ Did a lot of backend work aujourd'hui - fixed new game loading bug and added correct navigation tiles to all 30 rooms for pathfinding (fingers crossed it works...)

Also putting together some stuff for a devlog 👀🔜

... In other news, added in 4 new 2x2 rooms, really happy with them + fixed some bugs around minimap not loading sometimes.

Here's a peek of one of the new additions to the growing family of rooms:

🗓️ Day 18/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

The gamedev train is full steam ahead! 🚂💨

Decided to give my game a go at 2x scale, interesting to see the enemies up close + off-camera bullets add a layer of jeopardy 😰

🗓️ Day 17/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Making up for some lighter days with some quantum leaps today - (maybe not quantum... but close enough 😅)

~12-14 new rooms, can now replay after dying, fixed lots of small bugs 🐛, + continuous music...

🗓️ Day 13/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Mostly behind the scenes things today, still some solid progress. To quench your thirst for more content, here's an extended clip of some gameplay from today 😋

More level + environment design coming soon ✏️

#pixelart #gamedev #ドット絵

Enemies can now drop chests 😱. I'm also thinking of implementing a system where I have golden chests in addition to the existing silver one. You will only be able to get the rarer, stronger guns from the golden chests...

🗓️ Day 12/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Lots to report today, added in two new enemies (Crimsonfang and Freezesnipe) which are related to existing enemies (Kindlefang and Glitchsnipe respectively). Implemented very quickly with no obvious bugs (yet... 🥲)

🗓️ Day 11/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Some BIIGG OL' PROGRESS today 💥... Rustling up lots of new things! Quick summary: Guns use weighted probabilities and have unique effects (need playtesting for balance). Bullet damage varies...

#pixelart #gamedev #ドット絵

Started using custom resources to streamline the collectable item system, including for guns... Think this should make thinks a lot more scalable, which is music to my ears 🎶

Thought I'd throw in the player's run cycle because why not? (who knew .gifs counted as a video?)
