I DID IT!

I created a video game from scratch and uploaded it to steam before starting my first year at university.

I'm so proud of myself, and though I still have a lot to learn, I did accomplish something I've always wanted to do.

Visuals got updated thanks to @marcushimself.bsky.social

Now there's clouds, rain, and heat.

Makes the game look far better, which I think really helps wraps up the whole project as makes it nice.

Nearly 20 months of coding this game and almost 3 years of learning game development I have my first ever Steam page.

I am so proud of myself for this, plus it's just super awesome to have done this.

Here it is with a background, because I still want to improve my landscape drawing skills, I think this looks 100% better than the last one I did.

So, I'll be sure to use these characters one day, but until then I'm happy with the Steampunk Western.

The game isn't done yet, but I do have the credits finished

There is NO REASON to watch this video, I'm just posting it because I haven't posted anything in a while

TADA the first boss is artistically finished, the mechanical serpent. Thanks to @marcushimself.bsky.social for help on the visuals for this boss.

I really like this one, it's based on the Horned Lake Serpent myth, and a waterwheel.

Look a background.

No longer stuck in the void, everything is much more vibrant now that's not just the basic test scene grey.

Still a lot of work to do, but I'm making GREAT progress.

Hope you have a great day random person reading this

Just finished readding Basic Drones for Hot Shot Monkey

One step closer to being all caught up again

I have made a slight change, now Basic Drones spawn in with 1 of 3 different gun variants, should add a bit more challenge and variety to the game.

Font changes. I think the new font looks nicer and adds a more western vibe. I'm mostly just doing some small tweaks here and there for now.

(Ignore the outfit I was just testing save data)

Have a great day.

New enemy sprites, that are more robotic, also certain drones now have a pool of images to draw from.

Also, a new arena soundtrack, credits go to Zap Splat.

I'm happy with the reintroduction of the Wild West theme. I will update the demo soon as well.

Got the Jungle Shop mostly set up today.

I think the music goes great with it and the new buddy variant is just funny to me

Added dialogue sounds, no longer will it be boring text just appearing, and a little sign to tell you when the line is finished.

Plus, I set up a little shop for testing and it will be in the next Demo Update, so keep an eye out for that.

My game is on sale for a couple more days for the steam fall sale. 60% off! I'm curious if posts will do better here because this site doesn't de-rank links, as they do on the other one.
