Ok so I think I can see where I went wrong with the crowbar physics but it's also pretty funny.

Working on the player inventory system. Please excuse basically all the visuals :p
You'll have some one-off tools (like a crowbar) and then items you can carry in multiples (for example cans of beans.) What do you think of radial menus like this? #indiegame #sologamedev

I'm slowly making progress towards my next playable demo for some play testing, but took a small diversion to add the all import SLIDING mechanic. Pretty happy with how the speed lines effect is coming on. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

If the idea of physical plastic bongo drums doesn’t appeal I don’t know what to tell you - I got Donkey Kong Jungle Beat just in time for university

Ok, a big inspiration for my current project, the original Thief - this is the first game that scared me too much. Shoutout to THAT mansion level

But before Civ, my absolute favourite dos game was Commander Keen: Aliens Ate My Babysitter, whose colour palette is seared into my brain

Civilization or, just “civ.” Pretty sure we’ve got this exact box still kicking about somewhere. Must have been about 6/7 years old? Spent many happy hours with my Dad in his office, rifling through that glorious thick manual. This would have been DOS, and before we got a sound card 😂.

Moving house never seems to get any easier :(
Completely eaten into my #indiegamedev work time.
Found a little time to tweak the trailer level design, and unwound noodling around with this desktop overlay / debugging view, which if nothing else, looks like something out of Hackers

So nice to have you along for the ride - these last few weeks I've been ironing out a bug with my portable hacking tool, as well as grey-boxing out my level for a playtest / trailer.

I was going to post about how I've got the sound system working so that you can distract the security bots by throwing objects around.
Instead, enjoy this video showing how you can force it into a dance battle 💃

still a way to go here, but made some significant improvements to how these security robots chase you down, and (you might not believe it, but) improvements to their animations...

I "modelled" the hacking tool you can use to disable lights and security systems etc using trenchbroom. Yes, trenchbroom the mapping software :laughing:
This still needs hooking up to the actual systems to do anything useful.

I'm working on a stealth action game set on the doomed space station of a desperate billionaire fleeing earth. It's Thief, in space, with no combat and scary robots. Here's a thread of what I've been up to recently!
