Splash Rats is all about liquid physics, so OF COURSE the rats need to be able to swim! The shark fin attachment will allow you to go fast. #conceptart

Splash Rats is all about co-operation, so we're concepting fun ways of doing things together. Currently we're working on ziplines. #indiedev

I see the Slimers are already showing some personality. Intelligence? Maybe some day...

Here's the entire code for the "Low Health" animation shown when you're at one heart or below. Not exactly the easiest bit for an artist to modify, so I'm eagerly waiting for asset based workflows.. 😅

Realized there's no built-in way to modify an ImageNode's color in animation curves, so we created a new property (based on Bevy examples). Couldn't get direct alpha modifications working, so we're going with the full Srgba value.

Been working on the Screamer and health UI. The Screamer now deals damage to you when it's out of water, and it's nicely visualized with hearts.

Decided to use Bevy's own curves & animation graph to animate the health UI. It's a bit verbose, but quite powerful when you get the hang of it. Code in 🧵

Working on a new creature, codename "SCREAMER." 😱 It's content while in water, but will let out a horrible wail if dry. Deals AoE damage and breaks brittle materials. Prototype graphics, obviously, but I think this could be a fun one! 💪 You'll be able to carry it around as well.

Something's gone wrong when the water suddenly grows eyes and is watching your every move.. 🥶

#oops

We were playtesting and the blobs just spontaneously merged into one. 😳 Could be romantic if it wasn't so terrifying. I didn't realize TONIGHT was the night when two become one..

Just added the possibility to create streams of water. Seems the rat has found a nice spot to meditate. I thought we were making an action game?

I was surprised how easy it was to set all of this up. The file is just a total of 85 LOC.

I based this off of the bevy-inspector-egui egui_dock example. You get a hierarchy of entities on the left side of the screen, and components for all selected entities on the right. You'll notice some extra allocations each frame but this is just an editor tool.. 😅

Just set up a new inspector in the game using bevy-inspector-egui. Replaced the default WorldInspectorPlugin with this version where the hierarchy and components are separated into different panes. You can now also edit multiple entities at once! Code in 🧵

You mean this game that has a water wheel? I’m in! 😂

Indeed, it would be great if there was a version of it you could play on the Switch…

🌊 🐀 No game with liquid physics is complete without a water wheel.

Trying out some character designs for our game. Any snazzy name suggestions?
