I'm an indie developer with an interest in RPGs and strategy games.
I haven't been doing mapwork lately (tons of battle internals). But I had a great bug and wanted to show it off. My characters look . . . larger than intended. Oops. Initiative tracker is working though! And the Log. :)

The first major spell of the new engine. I wanted to combine a few things at once. Projectiles, tracking, our emitters, and sound. Heck yeah! :) Next challenge--going back to more engine development instead of making 20 more spells. :)

Godot continues to be a lot of fun to work with. The weather system and new map layering systems are playing with each other (correctly!). And Audio is still happy. Heck yeah. Make a Darude Meme or MST3K? Bah, no time! :)

Visual Novel Question

My wife is developing a VN Mystery/Romance. It's in a fictional Renaissance w/ animals (PG13--not too naughty). Here are the two leads. I wanted to know if you think our art is going in the right direction. Any notes?

Happy (almost) Halloween from the Pumpkin King. :)

Movement Testing

I implemented the new movement system and hooked in a temp footstep sound. I'm 48, and this still made me crack up for way too long. I wasn't going to post today (still in menu hell), but this was a fun break. :)

ParticleCore, ParticleCore, Everybody loves ParticleCore. (I sing it in my head WAY more than I want to). But Weather and Particles are functional again. Yay!!!!!! Rain, snow, self lighting, event lighting, and global tints are all running!

We've got tint working and our player lighting back!!!! Between that and yesterday's audio system, we're getting a lot closer to having a good bit of our core functionality going again. BUT--UI overlays are coming up. Fate help me. :/

"I've made a Lighting plugin before, so doing a system from scratch probably won't be too much harder," he said.

Narrator: It was harder

Good news: The tint is working
Bad news: I can't turn it off yet (oO)

I know that in the long run I need to make a better Header Capsule for my game. This one is just GIMPed together, and it shows. But man, capsule work is tricky--always more to learn. Have a great weekend everyone!‪

Every day can be Caturday if you try hard enough. At least, this kittie thinks so. #JRPG, #IndieGame, #SteamNextFest, #ArenaOfSuffering, #Caturday

Yesterday went well on Next Fest (Yay!), but today I just want to have some fun and show off a few more of the monsters from the game. Let me know if anyone has favorite monsters to consider for a post-release dungeon!
