Ssshhh! We're being sneaky over here. Nothing to see other than the cursor in the video. Move along now, please. ๐ต #sneaky #stealth ancient Egyptian #samfisher #assassin #Bayek #Aya #madewithgodot #indie #gamedev #goingforthbyday
A crouching sprite of an ancient Egyptian holding an axe with a Nubian wall painting reference below it, with parts of the legs being drawn, missing kilt. The ghost of the reference layer makes the image appear like a Hindu god of some sort. Red skin, bald head, no shirt.
WIP: crouching sprites. Looks weird with the reference layers from Ramses smiting Nubian prisoners. Almost Indian. ๐ชท #goingforthbyday #krtia #gamedev #indie #handdrawngame
Ancient papyrus Book of the Dead detail of Ammit the Devourer on a small shrine/platform with Thoth standing behind making tabulations; located in the Old Cairo Museum, Egypt. Black line ink on beige papyrus.
Took this image from one of the many Books of the Dead in the Old Cairo Museum. Ammit is on the left, Thoth on the right. Do not be fooled by the chibi appearance. The Hebrew and Christian gods were not the first to record sins. ๐+๐ฆ+๐ฆ=โ๏ธ #egyptology #ancientBlueSky #goingforthbyday
Player has on-demand, in real time, ancient time vs modern time, in the same location. This opens up all kinds of game play possibilities from locale traversal, attacks, to puzzles and more. โณ๐

Four days, lots of code, excellent results. Wish we could reveal more, but cannot: BIG spoilers!

A screenshot of the Game UI Database showing the Fallout Series of Games including Fallout 3, 4 and Fallout New Vegas. Fallout 76 is missing from the database at the time of this screen capture.
The Game UI Database didn't have #Fallout76 in its search results so we submitted 51 screenshots today, @eddcoates.bsky.social.
#GoingForthByDay will share some of the controller inputs. We are planning to have famous presets + custom button remapping. ๐ฎ๐น๏ธ๐บ๏ธ๐

If you can see this in #goingforthbyday, it is too late for you! If you die in the afterlife, you cease to exist. Nonexistence is the true #horror then and now. Perhaps the next soul will be willing to save you...? #gamedev #indie #videogames โฐ๏ธ

A vertically bisected photograph: The left inset photo is a predominately tan and brown, view from within the first transverse hall of the Osireion in Egypt, consisting of many huge broken blocks. The right inset photo is the same group of blocks from the game version of the same locale in Going Forth By Day. The right photo has a black background with a range of blue, greys of the same architecture. Part of the Godot game game editor UX can be seen at the top right.
We traveled across the world to personally photograph local references that just do not exist otherwise. We will create the most accurate Egyptian game ever made.
Below: test sprite of the numerous broken blocks within the first transverse hall of the Osireion.
#handdrawn #gamedev #goingforthbyday
Yes! A hand-drawn 2D, narrative-heavy metroidvania-ish action-adventure with a mix of puzzling/combat/stealth/time mechanics. Thematically similar to Dante's Inferno but using the art of ancient Egypt. Note: Website is a nothing-burger atm. Looooong way to go.

Good evening! #egyptomania is 2000 years old.
In #goingforthbyday #videogame the story is wholly Egyptian.
However, time is meaningless in Death, so there might be a vistor from Rome if you look hard enough...
Old Egyptian Museum today: the last hurrah.
TERRIBLE lighting and dirty displays, highly reflective glass. What is this, the Louvre? ๐คฌ
I hope I can use the books directly in-game. ๐ค #gamedev #goingforthbyday

Found these lovely little guys in the Temple of Seti I, round back, hang a right, after the pool. ๐

WIP: #goingforthbyday time-shifting game mechanic. The player, using the crown of Khonsu, can jump at will from the ancient magical location (in the afterlife) to the present-day location for various reasons. Watch the rough test below: ๐โ๐ณ๐ณ๐ณ #gamedev #indie

We said many times the Duat will not be what is it seems; in Death, time has no meaning. You will meet many different characters in #goingforthbyday from ancient Egypt's history. His epoch however, is yet to come. ๐ฃ๐ฃ๐ฃ

The texture source was a photo of the night's sky, literally stars in the galaxy and beyond into the universe with hue change, radial gradient, alpha transparency, etc. Xibalba, I did not recognize you! #thefountain #deathisadisease #goingforthbyday
A newsletter from Grip Fast Gameworks showing the game logo of Going Forth By Day on a dark background above text. The logo contains the text of the game's name in front of a mysterious pyramid with a biblical amount of sand falling down from the sky and making dust in golden hues, browns and tans towards the bottom of the image.
Praise the gods! Another scroll of The Secrets of the Book of the Dev newsletter has been discovered and will be exhibited VERY SOON (sooner than the GEM actually opening)! ๐

Oops, gamertag got exposed on reddit winning with a bow in a raid with another archer.
The bow will be one of three class types in #GoingForthByDay.

Ammit is magically combined in the Book of the Dead, with the head of the Crocodile. The BOTD couldn't have some horrific depiction of Ammit because it could threaten the deceased. In #GoingForthByDay, we will present a mixture of art historicity and inspired paleo terror, brought to life. ๐

Playing online versions of Senet. Lost three games so far, but with several ideas how to incorporate into #GoingForthByDay. Maybe mini-game or something more important. Hounds and Jackets might be next. ๐คซ #Egyptomania #games

#Gamedev, but why? This animation mosaic represents a single still frame containing more than 10 million pixels that runs for 55 seconds at 30fps at 4K resolution. This is the level we are creating for #goingforthbyday, a #handdrawn action/adventure #metroidvania about #ancientegypt afterlife. โณ
Don't worry, #GoingForthByDay release date isn't going to change because of the release of #Silksong. ๐ชก๐ชฒ

Approximately 2.5 million orange sand particles in Blender seen through a 2D orthographic camera.
A fellow #gamedev asked what was up for the weekend? Back to melting my GPUs with #blender with ~2.5 million sand particles for #goingforthbyday #indiegame. I need to make about 12 variations (ok that's a lie, more like 24) for various scene transitions. Weird meshes make great emission sources. โณ๐๐ฅ
Considering creating a YouTube series about #videogames vs #arthistory vs #ArchaeoGaming. We're finding all sorts of amazing things for #goingforthbyday that will likely not make it into the game. The show would be like a mashup between GMTK + Great Art Explained in 15 mins. Who would watch? ๐ฎ๐ผ๏ธ๐
