OK! Worked on some enemy variety a bit.
Big mobs of weird floaty guys you can push around with shots, chasing Vampire Moths, strafing Eyebats and classic dive-attacking birds.

This is with a lot of the volley metaprogress upgrades :D

Starting to look a little more like a shmup!

Improved my spawnGroups concept so multiple groups can be clustered together.

Did a big AI/Behavior overhaul where Behaviors can be sequenced and completed by the Actors. Next I have to make that scriptable!

ASPIRATIONAL

You talked me into it!

OK! Basic bullet feels good, think that's locked down.

Some hemming and hawing with the UI, but I think I'm gonna keep it super minimalist. Might make some elements oscillate for enhanced spooky.

Working on Familiars (who'll be equipable options I think)

#pixelart #shmup #indiedev #gamedev

Wrote some `shotPattern` data structures so I can have alternating fire patterns and stuff.

Too many bullets?

Too many bullets. Tempting though lol.

Found this game I worked on as a kid and managed to get the source code to build!

It was based on a kind of 1-2 bit style and had some light Metroidvania and eco-sim elements.

It was almost done and pretty playable, might toss it up on itch.io.

#indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Onward we go.

Got enemies in spawnGroups for max shmup feel. Need some spacing and alignment but basics roughed in.

Some powerups like a screen clear bomb and lightning ball orbitals.

These enemies were designed for zelda-like, gotta rethink.

#shmup #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

thank you! Always nice to know when a game catches someone's interest even for a second. It can be hard to tell!

So now I have some permanent metaprogress upgrades.

Its got a little roguelite element to the shmup waves now, but you also get powerups during gameplay like a standard shmup.

I'm definitely leaning far more casual than hardcore here.

I was messing around with this for a bit.
Top down 360 shooter, but with the idea that your hoverjet has a dedicated Flight/Hover mode. Cut to hover and you just skim over the land surface and be hit by ground weapons.
Flight takes you high and you can bomb, but consumes fuel

Was working on this project for a while.

Core concept was Nuclear Throne type presentation, but moment to moment combat that feels like Halo.

There's stagger mechanics on weapons too, kind of based on old doom's "painchance". Shotgun has a high stagger rating.

Very quick experiment looking at some shmup sections for Witchling Grove.

Might spin it off to be its own thing? Some scrolling night sky cloud sections?

#gamedev #indiedev #pixdelart

Thanks! Considering reviving it in some form. Maybe with my Witch themed stuff.

A couple friends and I made this a few years back.

Not available on Google Play any more, mostly due to google nuking my developer account into the sun.

I did end up benefiting from that class action against google on behalf on indie developers so I still won.

Working on a world map for Witchling Grove.

Want it to look like a little model/miniature world.
I think the map will just be a single screen, like this. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Damn fine cactus, I say. Damn fine!

Its a stylistic non-choice!

Doodled some weapons today to shake off some creative rust. I can't draw straight lines even on grid paper.
#arrrrrrt #illustration

I get that take!
I think my core argument here is that random fumble charts can still make a good story, if a different kind. Sometimes you instagib your mount on accident.
I lean more on the "DM as referee" side than "DM as storyteller" though, and I realize those are basically different games.

"Fumble charts are unrealistic and break my immersion!"

Meanwhile, on Earth, Battle of Aqaba:

"Lawrence was nearly killed in the action after he accidentally shot his camel in the head with his pistol."

Made a fun cover image for Metalbound. Tabletop and photography are two things I don't really do so was fun to dip into.

Kartomancy by theinfamousmrmeow Drift, duel, and divine your fate in a witchy retro-futurist take on the 64 bit world.

Kartomancy started as a jam game and refused to die.

I’ve put up a $3 Supporter Edition on itch for anyone who wants to help it grow and get updates throughout its development.

Free version’s still there too!

I've been going back and forth on doing a World Map for Witchling Grove.

I checked an item off of my bucket list recently by make a Super Mario Kart-like, so now to start on another:

A world map in the style of Yoshi's Island Title Screen.

#gamedev #indiedev

Oh hi!

Thanks!!! Its getting there :D

This realm with Boomshrooms and Ghosts is pretty intense.

You can interrupt a Ghost's attacks, so the strategy seems to be keeping pressure on the ghosts and just diving over the shrooms until they're packed tightly for a chain explosion.

Finally set up biomes properly for Witchling Grove.

Biome data gets pulled in from LDTK, and gives data on Monster Inhabitants, scatter tiles, and tree types.
