A Week Later: The Responses to DO THE THING (have been awesome)
So it's been just over a week since I initially conceived and released DO THE THING. And I've been honestly thrilled with the responses and feedback I've received so far. I had no idea if anyone else....

I don't believe that NPCs or dialog are somehow INCOMPATIBLE with Metroid games on some fundamental, immutable level.
But it doesn't help that no Metroid game in history has EVER had good dialog or a single worthwhile NPC

I decided to practice drawing more detailed animations a little.
It's fun, but very time-consuming 🥴

My province is talking about removing all rent protections. Partner and I might be homeless in a few months.
It is nearly impossible to find reasons to keep creating when so much of my future is uncertain
I will keep trying. I will keep making. But I don't have a ton of hope.

bit late for #PortfolioDay, but im an amateur indiegamedev that works on pixelart sidescroller adventure games.
My games are playable for free and feature plenty of big bosses to fight and strange worlds to explore.

I think I know what my next game about mental health is going to be. DO THE THING worked so well.
Details are being sketched out, but it will be called SCHOOLING.

I feel like enough people have played Silksong at this point I can say the game got genuine laughter out of me after beating the Judge.
No idea if intentional if "actually, there are FIVE bells of -" was a DS1 riff, but I did get an extra laugh with Hornet's "Those? Did them on the way." reply.

Feels like it's been quite a while since I uploaded anything outside of menus. But I revisited the combat to clean it up a bit more, and it's certainly coming along.

For anyone interested, I've set up an account on Mastodon: @snoozingrat@mastodon.gamedev.place
I will be doing my best to keep both accounts updated until/unless this site implodes.

The monumentum demo got a fresh coat of paint just in time for next fest next week. If you were feelin' a bit defeated on your first try, you may find it a bit more forgiving now ;) #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #pixelart

Been expanding to Mastodon and I'm a bit lost. Not really sure how to find people to follow, especially if some people are on other instances.
It seems relatively similar to here in terms of actual post size and content?
I am bad at social media and overanalyze social expectations & etiquette.

Been upgrading my camera code a bit. Now I've got this smooth transition between open spaces and narrow corridors.
Also testing out Godot's geometry tools and using distance fade material properties to hide the room's external faces if the player is in or near.
