Promo image for beta v0.13 of DI: Debt is Inevitable. The image shows the character, Fred, sitting on a staircase with their back turned against an open pathway to another room. A trans flag is visible on the left-side wall. A purple and pink gradient is overlayed atop the image. Surrounding Fred is the following text: > DI: Debt is Inevitable > beta v0.13 > 2 new modifiers (the icons of the modifiers are shown below) > 3 new passive items (icons are shown below) > 6 new debuffs > 2 new random events > reworked health/damage/debt > new bullet accuracy system > new armor mechanics > an exorbitant amount of rebalancing and tweaks > also maybe some bug fixes

DI Launcher v0.1 has released 😺

Here's some of what it can do:
- Launches DI
- Supports custom game/mod install locations
- The ability to toggle and reorder which mods you want to use
- A button that displays a 😺 upon being pressed
- Very low CPU usage
- 1 example mod included

Screenshot of the Launcher for DI: Debt is Inevitable. Displayed in the screenshot: - On the left, a big button saying "Launch DI" and an image of the Fred enemy from DI - Boxes to set custom game/mod locations - In the middle, a section to change ingame graphic and gameplay settings, like Ambient Occlusion or Aim Assist. - On the right is the mod list. The space is mostly blank, as it only contains one mod, "Example Mod - Realism.pk3". It is currently disabled. - On the top right is a button with a drawing of a cat. - On the top left is the logo, and a version number: "v0.1".

along with this launcher im also making some example mods for the game because why not. 🐈

the first of these is a custom Difficulty Modifier called "Realism".

you can comb through the mod's code yourself here, if you wanna understand how it all works.

Screenshot of the game "DI: Debt is Inevitable". Screenshot shows the difficulty select screen of the game, with a Modifier selected called "Realism". Above the modifier is an icon of a Ron enemy firing a projectile with a "smooth" lighting smeared on top. To the right of the icon is the following text: - Take 3x damage from enemies. - Gain movement-based inaccuracy. - Increases EXP by 25%. - 0 mod(s) active. The "Realism" mod, along with all the other mods, are currently labelled as "[OFF]".

the game's launcher is coming along nicely 😺

the mod list portion is functional now, you can now enable, disable, and reorder your mods to your heart's desire. currently only accepts .pk3 files.

currently working on the game settings portion.

a screenshot of the DI: Debt is Inevitable Launcher. the launcher is split into 3 horizontal sections. on the left is the logo, the locations of the game executable and the mod folder, and lastly, the big ol' "Launch DI" button. the middle section is the game settings, which itself is also split between graphics settings and gameplay settings. under the graphics settings are resolution options, fps counter, bloom, ambient occlusion, maximum gibs, 3d shadows, and projectile lights. under the gameplay settings is a setting labelled (Cheat) to unlock everything in the game, and another setting to enable aim assist. the last section on the right is the mod list. shown in the list are 2 example mods, one stored inside a folder called "test folder".

DI: Debt is Inevitable already features mod support, but no easy way to actually "launch" the mods without the use of third-party software like ZDL or Doomrunner. This month, I am solving that by making my own mod launcher.

(Using the launcher is not required to play DI.)

Another Passive Item for a future update.

This spawns seeds below you as you run, dealing contact damage to enemies. Can be stacked up to 4 times for increased spawning and damage output.

Can be combined with other passives like Explosive Rounds and Trickshot for some unique builds.

#di #gamedev
screenshot of a menu in DI: Debt is Inevitable describing the "Sesame Seeds" item. The description read as follows: - Spawn seed projectiles while you are moving. Seeds deal 8 DMG on enemy contact. - Item stacks increase the chance of seeds spawning and the damage each seed deals. Seeds will count as weapon projectiles, but cannot activate fresh weapon bonuses. - [Passive] [Max: 4] [Have: 4] Screenshot of the game "DI: Debt is Inevitable". Player is shown holding the Cheese Cannon. A Giant Fred enemy is shown in the distance fading away after being hit with an exploding attack that dealt 32 damage. There are Sesame Seeds scattered about the floor and the air.

New Passive item coming to DI v0.12.2.

This item grants your bullets a chance to explode violently upon making contact with enemies or walls or floors. Does not scale with your weapon's DMG. Can also damage the player.

Can be stacked up to 5 times to increase explosion DMG/chance.

#di #gamedev
Icon and Description of the Explosive Rounds item in DI: Debt is Inevitable. The description reads: - 10% chance for bullets to explode upon hitting something, dealing 5 AOE DMG. - AOE DMG scales solely based on item stacks, and nothing else. Item stacks also increase the chance of explosions. - [Passive] [Max: 5] [Have: 5] Screenshot of the game DI: Debt is Inevitable. Player is holding a purple double barrel pump shotgun. The gun has just been fired. The player is facing an enemy named "Giant Fred", who is obscured from the 18 exploding bullets making contact with it. There is a floating "444" damage number floating above the enemy.

next item is the Depleted Magazine.

this is a Passive Item that grants you up to +20% Firerate as your weapon's ammo gets closer to empty. Works best on weapons with at least 20 ammo capacity. This item can be stacked up to 5 times to get up to +100% Firerate (doesnt affect reloading.)

for the next 40 days, ill be showcasing an item in my game everyday.

let's start with the Star Pistol, the very first weapon the player gets to use. this is a simple little pistol that has 8 bullets, and does damage that scales based on how many coins the enemy will drop on death. (9 + 2x)

Yesterday I added a new Beach Ball item to my game that you can spawn in by activating a consumable.

If you or an enemy smacks the beach ball, it'll go flying into the air, and any enemy it touches will take 100 DMG.

The ball will stay in the arena until the end of the current round.

Included in this update is some new Rotation Sprites for the sides and backs of enemies in Level 1, something i should've added to the game a long time ago IMO.
