The beginnings of a fast-travel system for the hub world in #RUBIE! Super proud of how smooth this one came out.

The number of things to do before getting this game on steam is slowly shrinking, I'm very excited :3

Apparently I started work on #RUBIE about 2 years ago! It's kind of crazy seeing how much this game has evolved over time. Luckily I still have plenty of old builds of the game, so I can look at old prototypes pretty easy!

Here's a few screenshots, each from a more recent build than the last.
A very basic prototype for a puzzle game. The level is built out of white grid-like tiles, and most of the elements are either crudely drawn or squashed and stretched Godot Engine logos. An early build of a puzzle-platformer game. The graphics are basic, mostly being made up of purple tiles. A red player character stands in the middle, holding a green box with a four-point star on it. Another early build, this one much more polished than the last. The purple tiles now are decorated with pipes and wires, and the overall feel is more polished Similar to the last screenshot, but the platforms are less busy, the player character is a blue figure now, and a large screen sits on the right of the frame with a pink smiley-face observing the scene in it.

It's about time i started implementing the antagonist. It's not doing a whole lot right now but it is looking at me funny.

A screenshot of a red player character standing in front of a screen, holding a box above its head. The large screen behind it displays a bright magenta smiley face, looking ominously at the player.

I was wanting to make the main menu a bit more interesting, so it now changes depending on the last level you played. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #godot #RUBIE
A main menu screen for a game. The backdrop is green, the buttons are all a pale blue, and there's a red brain-like sculpture on the right half of the screen. A main menu screen for a game. The backdrop is now purple, the buttons are all red, and there's a red containment chamber on the right half of the screen. A main menu screen for a game. The backdrop is now gold, the buttons are all a pale teel, and there's a swinging pendulum on the right half of the screen.

does anyone else like to custom-draw those 'made in x game engine' popups that appear when you boot up a game or am i just weird

A video game splash-screen on a dark backdrop. White and grey text reads 'Made in Godot', with a rendition of the Godot Game Engine logo sat next to it.

A main menu for a video game titled 'RUBIE'. Four buttons appear in a pop-up window beneath the games logo on the left, and on the right is a large decorative chamber.

Whoops, been a while since I last posted about #RUBIE :3c

I recently decided that I don't like how much clutter these out-of-bounds decorations add, so I've decided to swap them out for a much more subtle solution. I think it looks pretty good!

A picture of a puzzle-platformer video game level. Several inaccessible areas are cluttering up the screen and make the scene look busy. Ditto, but the noisy and busy out-of-bounds areas have been removed, and in its place is a much more subtle and cleaner visual. The platforms are arranged in a grid pattern, and to break up this grid pattern, several larger squares take up sections of the grid.

You look familiar...

Two strikingly similar characters looking at each other. The character on the left is red, and has a speech bubble with a question mark to express confusion. The character on the right is blue, and looks taken aback and shocked.

This environment is probably my favourite one so far. It even comes with conveyor belts!

Been lurking here for a while, so might as well show off my #gamedev project, RUBIE! It's a game about abusing your ability to respawn to solve puzzles and delete the System32 folder from your computer (don't actually do that)!

Here's a few environments I've made for the game so far! #indiegames
A videogame screenshot of a 2D pixel-art world. The world is made of square blue tiles. Game objects such as lasers, buttons, doors and crates are littered around the area. A red player character stands in the middle. This level is themed around electricity, with several plugs and wires dangling from the walls, as well as batteries scattered around the floor. A videogame screenshot of a 2D pixel-art world. The world is made of square magenta tiles. Large chambers and catwalks loom in the background. A red player character stands in the middle of the screen, with several blue-colored game objects surrounding it, those being a box, button, and door. A videogame screenshot of a 2D pixel-art world. The world is made of square green tiles. A red player character stands in the middle of the shot. There's a handful of blue game objects littered around the scene. Binary code is visible in the distance, and a system of connected neurons string themselves together in the backdrop. A videogame screenshot of a 2D pixel-art world. The world is made of square yellow-golden tiles. Large cogs turn in the background, and a few are scattered across the floor. A red player character stands on the left of the screen, next to a spike pit. Some game objects are also present, those being a button, door, and timer, all of which are colored teel.
