I made a first-person turn-based dungeon crawler with pixel art graphics and a sci-fi setting for a jam on Itch.io:

Wow! Nice jam and so many cool games!
I'm surprised that I got 330th place of over 9500 games in one of the categories! Cool! My lowest place in another category is about 4000, which is also good for me.

The Jam has ended! There were a lot of good games. And my Tutoretta took 10th place! Yay!
I updated the game by fixing bugs, adding improvements and PAPER graphics!
Tutoretta is prototype for #Drawngeon2!

Also, I keep thinking of trying to make an “HD” version with paper drawn textures.

Still making a game for #dcjam2025.
I don't have enough free time, so I'm going to try to meet an even tighter deadline!
I'm once again failing to make an interesting fight.
Should I keep these graphics or try to have time to draw non-pixelated ones?

I will use "programmers art" for this time.
But sometimes I get carried away and start drawing pixel by pixel.
I named her Tutoretta.

Number 10. Portal. DONE!
Finally completed the Godortal game! It was very difficult and took about a month to complete. Still a lot of bugs.
The video is a walkthrough of one level, there are 4 in total.

Still working on the game-10 Portal. Decided to make a 3d model for a character seen through portals. I based it on a capsule. I accidentally made Amongus. I made an animation for him. Work in progress.

Portal effect in portal. Since my previous posts about the portal, I broke portal teleportation. Well, at least I added basic portal placement!

Portals for game number 10. The final game.
I don't know why, but the code in _physics_process triggered twice. And I had to make a very ugly moment with the flag that skips one frame after teleportation. However, it almost works as it should!

Testing physics portals for game number 10. The final game.
It's not easy, it doesn't work right. I've been messing around with transformations for a long time.

Number 9. Doom. DONE! Call it Droown.
Made it in 3 days. Graphics from my game Drawngeon.
There was a threat of deadlines from a broken plugin, but I made it! It was a lot of fun as well, as was Crash.

Ugh, that was really hard! But interesting! I swore at Godot a lot. Some things seemed illogical to me and several times the engine CRASHed (not bandicoot!).
