busy working with my new assets but kinda stuck in layout block, level design is hard 😭
got a question though: fall damage when does it feel fair, and when does it just get annoying? 👀

busy working on some Spyro-style meshes for my game 💜
sorry if my posts have been a bit samey lately, focusing on world assets before hopping back to NPCs and enemies soon!
what do you think of how it’s looking so far?
and which game world just hits different for you? 👀

I’m in the mood for some hack ’n slash action 👀⚔️
Anyone else love a good stylish combo game?
Indie devs: if you’re making a hack ’n slash (or anything with spicy combat), drop your game below, I wanna see it!!
Gamers: what are your favs?

A lot of my updates lately aren’t flashy, just figuring out how things could be neater or make more sense.
It got me thinking…
Devs, what’s the hardest choice you’ve had to make while working on your game?
(Cutting a feature? Changing direction? Starting over?)

Devs, what’s one silly or “not really needed” feature you added — just because it made you happy? 😅
For me, it’s this extra camera control… zoom out the camera, zoom it back in. Totally unnecessary, but it feels nice (and hey, it does have its uses!).

mine was actually Mandy’s glide ability, it started as a bug, but I found a way to make it work in a way I wasn’t expecting 😅 it’s debugged now, promise!
