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? 👀

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!).

Question for gamers + devs: what’s the first feature/effect you turn off in a new game? 👀

I always disable motion blur straight away (sometimes I turn it back on later… maybe), but it’s the first to go lol. Then I start tweaking everything else.

more clips of Mandy just… throwing and dropping stuff 😭
boxes, blocks, an imp? why not!
really wish I picked a better “drop” animation (or y’know, made one), looks delightfully janky lol

got Mandy throwing boxes today… with a very “broken” animation 😂
fun to watch, not quite what I planned, but hey, at least physics has personality! 💫

what’s one totally useless feature you’ve added just because it made you happy? ✨

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!

Not the flashiest update, but hey… controller settings are in 🕹️
• Invert your look
• Tweak stick sensitivity
• Toggle rumble

Yeah it’s debug-level stuff, not broom-surfing witches… but saving settings is still magic ✨

AYYYYEEE 🎉 got my loading screen + level manager running smooth, plus a simple music manager on top. Levels swap with no stutter, baked lighting stays intact… that’s a BIG win 🙌✨

Light baking — do you love it, hate it, or secretly miss it? 🔥
Are you glad it’s fading out with Lumen and real-time GI, or do you still push baked lighting to its limits for that perfect glow?

Or maybe… you’ve got your own tricks 👀
