Now my enemy lineup for the first handful of levels is complete. I'll be fine-tuning them all as I put together actual levels. #gamedev

Experiments for the next enemy type have begun. Figured out wall crawling navigation similar to the zoomers from Metroid. Got it to be pretty good at handling sharp convex corners but I still need to work on contingencies so it doesn't get stuck on concave corners too steep. #gamedev

Almost finished with the first lineup of enemies. This is Red Tread. Very special since he was based on a character some friends and I played in a D&D campaign a few years ago. #gamedev

New enemy finished: It's name is Yeller Propeller.
Many more enemy types on the way. #gamedev

New move: This will act sort of like the instashield in Sonic 3 or Cuphead's parry mechanic. Will let you reflect projectiles or bounce off of enemies, or to change direction on a dime for evasion. May be important for combat since the rest of your moveset is so loose and momentum-driven. #gamedev

I was in the middle of working on a double jump/frontflip move when I realized that my animation control code has become too difficult to expand on/maintain.
Now I am tearing it all down and rebuilding it with some new knowledge.
I wish I found out about Godot's BlendSpace features sooner. #gamedev

Several weeks of carefully crafting sprites and fine-tuning the interpolation later, we have an actual jump animation. You're not gonna believe what comes next... #gamedev #gameanimation
