a new skill that shows you enemies weakness/resistance in battle. Later in the game you’ll get a bestiary that you can also look this info up in but it can be hard to remember everything during a battle, plus bestiary only shows info for defeated enemies #rpg #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Ok so now when using elemental attacks it’ll indicate if the enemy has a weakness or resistance to that element. You’ll still want to experiment and pay attention to the numbers since you don’t know *how much* they’re weak/resistant to it #indiegame #rpg #gamedev #indiedev #jrpg

It would appear over the enemy, in addition to the damage amount

This is how a normal hit looks

Quit moving around so I can hit you!

Added a simple effect for when enemies transform. A number of enemies in the game can transform, you’ll want to kill then before they do since they usually become stronger #indiegame #rpg #indiedev #gamedev #retrogaming

Btw you can wishlist and try out demo

Added a simple effect for when enemies summon other enemies into the battle #rpg #indiegame #indiedev

Added a simple graphic effect to go along with the hide underground/underwater ability (skeleton just being used for testing haha) #rpg #indiegame #indiedev
October 22, 2025 at 9:22 AM
Showing a move enemies can use to hide underground. Could use some rock particles during the effect. While underground you can only hit them for 1 damage, but maybe earth magic should still deal good damage #rpg #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #jrpg

Yes…now just to figure out how to do that lol

Did a little more work on this song I was doing for our game Destiny Spire. Added a melody line and a second part with different chords. I wanted to also have another section that switches it up a bit but I’m not so sure how to do it #chiptunes #indiedev #gamedev #gamemusic

Idk if this is gonna be anything but I started making a song in famitracker for Destiny Spire last night. Just some chords atm, but maybe it’ll become something we’ll see… #indiedev #chiptunes #gamedev #indiegame #rpg

Testing out an idea of how to show the timer for stat buffs without adding timer bars everywhere. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #rpg #jrpg

Working on a mechanic I didnt have time to add before #SteamNextFest Soon youll be able to equip shields which adds the guard option to a characters combat menu. Half way done with the guard character sprites.

Check out our retro RPG Destiny Spire in the #SteamNextFest ! Hectic take on a turn based battle system and 2 dungeons to complete. Should take about 1 hour to complete. Full game is around 30 hours of retro goodness

Actually just to make sure I know what you’re talking about do you mean setting the build to the default branch in steamworks or this setting in gamemaker? As far as I know that setting has to be set to steam when you build the file to upload to Steam right?
October 13, 2025 at 10:38 PM
Hey #gamemakerstudio users, does anyone have experience setting up Steam achievements? I Cant seem to get them working. I set up the achievement in steamworks (on the normal and demo pages just in case), checked the box under features, and this is the code I’m using

Someone suggested adding a tutorial battle to Destiny Spire and I thought its a great idea so I started working on it tonight. I hope to be able to add it to the demo in time for the next fest. Didn’t get too far tonight but coming along #rpg #indiegames #pixelgames #retrogaming #jrpg
