The next version of Light Descends (be it a 0.2.1 or directly the third level with 0.3.0), will have some new graphics 🤩🤩

By the way, I'm always looking for playtesters! If you want to support Light Descend's development, play it and give me any feedback you can!

I'm learning a lot recently from several yt channels about some mid-to-advances topics in #Godot 4. I think we have left behind the times where you could say that Godot lack of guides and tutorials was a disadvantage against Unity.

#indiedev who publishes on Steam. How do you feel about your players not owning the copy of the game, and only having a license to play? Genuine question.

A week after the second big update of Light Descends comes an important fix for the web build. I wish I could've done this earlier.

I finished fixing all (known) bugs after the systems rework in Light Descends. Now I need to put some lore rewards, translate them, and the second level update will be ready!

Also, have a preview of the new visuals for the first level altar 😉

The content for the second level in Light Descends (barquero.itch.io/light-descends) is almost done, but the update will be delayed a bit because I'm reworking some systems and elements to make them more reusable, and speed up future developments.

The first 80% of the game takes 80% of the time. The final 20% takes... the other 80%.

It's a long road. But you're on it. Keep moving. You're closer than you think.

Another #indiegame recommendation until I release the trailer for Light Descends.

Finding 🏹🔥 Roguelight 🏹🔥 was an extraordinary coincidence, because I had already created mine, and it was great to see another approach to a light and dark mechanic.

+ Just a little lock-and-key exploration driven action platformer.

+ Actually dude, it's a metroidvania.

I don't have much to showcase yet about the second level of Light Descends. I'll be instead recommending indies I played this month!

The 1st one: 🩸Ichorus🩸. Challenging and SUPER cool visuals. Feels like a little cousin of Blasphemous, but bloodier.

Every piece of your feedback is and has been invaluable! The most problematic aspect for now are translations... I want to be make sure they are fully fixed in the next update.
Apart from that, people seem to like the game. That motivates me a lot!

I don't know if this is new or I'm just noticing, but I've seen some indie devs linking Tumblr profiles.

Anyone knows if there's audience for indie games in there?

Feel free to link your trailer along with your free software recommendation for making mine.

I plan to make a small trailer for the Light Descends demo (already playable on barquero.itch.io/light-descends) to attract more playtesters, but it's been years since I last did video editing.

Any recommendation of free software for this? #indiedev #solodev #playmygane #indiegame

Apparently, it does! Finding a bug in your game that's been fixed in the version that just released, that's what I call luck! And now I get to try out the latest #Godot 4.5 features 🤩
If you have tried the demo for Light Descends, you have noticed that important texts are not being translated properly to English. I believe this has to do with a bug in Godot 4.4, fixed in 4.5, so I'm updating (as already planned) to see if it fixes it.

The playtest demo for Light Descends is officially live! It's a puzzle platformer about light, dark, and a journey to the subconscious.

Your feedback is much appreciated.

It is said that the hour of the day is important when posting, for maximum reach. However, when your intended audience is international, what posting schedule are you supposed to have? 😵‍💫

#Godot just keeps getting better and better, I started using it at version 3.2 and seeing how much it has evolved, and knowing is not going to stop... it's incredible!
