A peek at my spaghetti code! The baby fish randomly inherits traits from its parents, with a chance to inherit recessive genes. It will also become a carrier of its parents' recessive genes. There's also a chance to mutate and get a random color. #godot

3) A few of the children of the two orange fish inherit the black color.

2) Select two orange fish from among their children. They still carry the gene for the black color and can pass it on to their children.

Virtual genetics demo!
1) Start with a black fish and an orange fish. Their children will mostly look like them, but mutations (random other colors) can also happen.

So excited to develop breeding mechanics for my desktop pet fish game "itsy bitsy fishy"!! Baby fish will usually look like their parents but have a chance to randomly get other colors <3 I love breeding in pet games so it's always been a dream to have it in my own games too. mellowminx.com

Feed fish to make them grow bigger... or smaller... or change appearance entirely! Coming soon to mellowminx.itch.io/itsy-bitsy-f... <3

Working on goldfish varieties in my itsy bitsy fishy desktop pet game... coding randomized type/pattern/colors! <3 mellowminx.itch.io/itsy-bitsy-f...

Coming soon: an itsy bitsy fishy that lives on your desktop! It doesn't do anything aside from eat and look cute. 🐠🫧 Want to try it already? (Windows/Mac/Linux demo) DM me.

P.S. I'm also working on a youtube tutorial to make this game on Godot!

I'm so grateful for every single one of you. Especially moved by those who gave a tip. Means a lot to me as a solo gamedev. 🥹💕 My plan is to keep expanding the game and very slowly raise the price along the way, but all buyers still get updates, so early supporters get the most value out of my game.

How I animated the tennis balls in #godot - all tweens! Here's part of my garbage spaghetti code 🤭 Lots of position checks to make the ball bounce away from window edges. Bounce sound is played each time the ball "lands". Rotation is slowed after each bounce.

Tennis balls coming soon to Pocket Kitten 🎾🎾🎾 (sound on!)

How I implemented the magic 8 ball in #godot - It was initially ridiculously large so that I could fit the pixel font for "YES" and "NO". So I put that text on a separate sprite so I can scale it separately. The highlight is on a separate sprite so it doesn't rotate along w/ the ball while rolling.

How I implemented the yarnball in #godot - The string is on a separate spritesheet, aligned with the ball spritesheet. The sprite frames have to be large enough so I can flip both ball and yarn animations horizontally while keeping the ball in the center.

#gamedev

How I implemented clothing in #godot - Each clothing item has a spritesheet image perfectly aligned w/ the kitten's spritesheet. Clothing can be changed by swapping the spritesheet texture. Each time the kitten's animation frame is changed, the clothing animation frame is changed.

Sound on 🎉🎈 Balloon party ASMR coming soon to Pocket Kitten!
