1-2 people indie game studio creating weird/horror games. Recently published 'The Nameless City' on Steam, a Lovecraft inspired adventure/walking sim game. You can play it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2987830/The_Nameless_City/
Worked a bit more on the #Playdate game this week. Loading new levels, harming the player on the 'exploration' mode, etc.

I haven't posted in a while! I've been doing some code for an 'exploration' mode of the #Playdate game.

Doing the door sprite took me more time than it should, as it's a placeholder. But doing pixel art is fun.

I've been refactoring the code of the Playdate game so it can work on PC too.

For the PC version, I'm using Love2D, as it's kind of similar to how the PD works. Not sure if I want it to have colors, but now there's the possibility!

Finished the basic lifecycle for the combat. You can kill enemies... But they can also kill you! And a placeholder message appears when that happens.

More #gamedev for the #Playdate game. Refactored the code to show a (placeholder) animation before updating the character vitality.

(Imaging that the roman numerals are the sprites of a cool attack animation).

Coding the combat loop. Still rough around the edges as there are no animations yet. At some point it will also have a description of what's happening on the left bottom corner, so everything is clearer.

Is #ScreenShotSaturday a thing on Bluesky too?

Haven't posted about the #Playdate game for a while, but I have been working mostly on some non visual stuff.

I didn't like the UI so I changed it. A friend did some #pixelart for the game too, so now it looks much better.

Tinkering with the #PlayDate again.

Lua is simple, but I spent a lot of time trying to find a 'good' way to organise and write code. Something that is hard to do when the language doesn't have typings and you have to rely on globals all the time 🫠

Did another mockup of this (possible) #Playdate game. This time using the actual API of the Playdate. I haven't used Lua in a while, but the language is not that complicated.

Doing more mockups for the possible #Playdate game. Having 4 attributes instead of the usual 6 makes more sense, so it's a bit more simplified and it can fit the screen better.

The older mockups for comparison: bsky.app/profile/para...

A mockup of a (very early) game idea. Trying to fit the portraits and some stats on the small #Playdate screen. I think it could work!

We've just received the invite code!
We're an indie game studio (well, we're just two people) that's is currently working on 'The Nameless City', a game inspired by Lovecraft's short story of the same name. Our goal is to publish it to itch.io on January next year.
