Think this makes v1 of the player's move set.

Looking forward to juicing and adding movement to some actions.

Working through a 'Vision Component' with line of sight, field of view and a 'proximity' detection.

Started with 1 ray cast, switched to triple whiskers, finally drew shapes for the detection ranges. Kinda fun.

I uploaded clips to storage and saw 5 years ago (legit almost to the day) I had clips from my phone (!) of my first character design with super floaty jumps in Unity.

So I cut in recent stuff to compare. I still haven't shipped anything 😆. Time is a ⚫

#screenshotsaturday #GameDev #SoloDev

Going from vanilla animations to incremental bits of juice adds SO MUCH FEEL. Even this early in development.

Even the very basic effects give me the juice to keep going.

(I work on actual enemy behavior soon)

#GameDev #IndieGame #Defold #SoloDev

Started messing around with a combo attack 🤫 Thought this was neat.

Slowed it down to show the 'combo' hit window. A keen eye can even see some sneaky input buffering even.

Again, made easy with a flexible state machine.

#gamedev #Defold #indiedev

I enjoy code first state machines. The Godot and Unity UI ones end up being too fiddly.

#Defold does not have a baked in FSM.

So I wrote one to handle transitions off anim/physics callbacks.

I've split animations to allow functionality like activating a collider mid swing.

Unplugging in 3 minutes so #screenshotsaturday is here

#gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Continued the search for a playable character. My "Speak softly and carry a big stick" concept.

#IndieDev #GameDev

My first attempt at creating a character controller in #Defold

We have room to improve. #GameDev #screenshotsaturday

Cycling through the anims from oboropixel.itch.io

Added to my 'SpriteSheetCombiner' tool by also generating the .tilesource file with animations

#GameDev #Defold

Moar funner #screenshotsaturday

Started my port to #Defold. Bundled under 3 mb and hosted on GH Pages. Really impressed. Easy.

#GameDev

Ever purchased art assets but they were different sizes and difficult to work with?

Little different #ScreenshotSaturday but I wrote a tool that takes a list of image files and builds them into one atlas image file with a consistent tile size.

Ready to animate in game!

#GameDev #Defold

Sunday special putting the new bits together. Improved UI will be the goal this week.

This week's update is visually difficult.

I've ripped out the core and replaced it with something more traditional and ideally fun.

Its a system where you use abilities based on colors. Like link cooking I want the player to discover abilities.

#ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev

Prototype updates from last week.

Core game loop is pretty much here. Need to add the health UI orbs.

Then it's ready for people to play.

It was built to be resource based from the start so generating new enemies is a matter of adding files.

#GameDev #GoDot

Since I have it. Last clip for the original idea.
