absolutely iconic experience as a kid. genuinely never gonna forgive #atlus for cutting #kotoneshiomi from the remake. :/

funny anecdote, I wasn't even really into video games until I got hold of my cousin's PSP and played his copy of Persona 3, back in 2007 or so. it was the first time a game had ever given me a choice to play as a girl, where it actually mattered. #persona #persona3

Implementing bullet spread has been a huge deal. It makes engagements far less predictable, incentivizes some riskier CQB tactics, and - of course - lets me implement a badass shotgun. #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #godot #mecha #devtober #Heavensfall

totally didn't forget to post this on Saturday btw 🫠

Yurushi is our player character. Zen, reserved, and cool as ice - she is the latest innovation in the Coalition's arsenal, designed by Drake Heavy Industries to cement their power over the ruined Earth. #art #digitalart #mecha #robotgirl #indiedev #gamedev #Heavensfall

@litemechanist.bsky.social has been doing good work on our tracers lately. Reaction fire animations are also triggering properly now. Should be much easier to tell when and where you're getting shot, now. #indiedev #gamedev #mecha #mech #godot #devtober #Heavensfall

We'll eventually have to make the enemies less prone to wandering into killzones, but the effectiveness of such tactics is working more or less as intended. The idea is you should be flanking and picking your movements carefully - you can and will be shot down even while lining up your shot.

Got UI and sound effects implemented. Hopefully this small showcase gets the idea of the *basic* TRPG gameplay loop across, but there'll be way more toys and mechanics implemented later for sure. Melee and E-warfare in particular. #GameDev #IndieDev #godot #Devtober #Mecha #lowpoly #Heavensfall

Finally got some animations implemented. Working on implementing a "shooting" animation next - and maybe some sound effects too. #IndieDev #GameDev #mecha #godot #lowpoly #Heavensfall #devtober

Fun fact: Crystal's the one who nicknamed Unit Zero. She calls her "Sushi" in the most endearing way possible and it's very very cute. ❤️ I hope you like her as much as I do.

New character spotlight next week!

Still, all that heart can make one vulnerable. There may come times when Yurushi finds it necessary to...use it a little. For good reasons, of course. And it's not like Crystal minds. In fact, maybe all she really wants is for her pretty robogirl crush to be perfect enough to tell her what to do?~

She's also a real disaster gremlin of an engineer, usually secluded in her workshop aboard the Pegasus Orbital Research Station. Though she's got a lot of heart, Crystal's way more cozy with machines than other people - small wonder she's a prodigy in her field.

Crystal is the perfect character to introduce the Bond mechanics for us. She's practically Yurushi's already best friend by the time Heavensfall takes place, aside from being her maintenance technician. She's...enthusiastic, about her job. #digitalart #indiedev #yuri #Heavensfall

Another character reference image of Crystal Saint Claire. A new sketched image has been drawn, showing her without her glasses, and looking very perturbed about it. New text: "Raids the vending machines at night. Favorite snack: Salt & Vinegar chips. Won't drink anything that isn't carbonated. Very normal about mechanical maintenance. Typically wears labcoat. Occasionally wears pants."

Benefit of having a messy desk:

Using empty mugs to visualise 3D space when working on AI targeting.

They even have a handle for which way they're pointing, it's perfect.

What matters here is their shared bond as they navigate their circumstances, and what effect that bond will have on the player's experience - not just narratively, but mechanically. Bonds like this will form the cornerstone of the Slice of Life sections of Heavensfall, and give the TRPG context.

Team Lilypunk @teamlilypunk.bsky.social · 19d

Crystal, one of the only Coalition engineers with the skills to handle Yurushi's maintenance on her own, is a more bubbly, earnest sort of person, contrasting nicely with her charge's icy, zen mien. Don't worry, I'll be going into more details with some individual character posts soon.

#Heavensfall is planned to have multiple character campaigns. The first of these will be from Yurushi's perspective, as the shining agent of the Empyrean Coalition, navigating cutthroat military politics, and coming to terms with her own dark purpose amidst the flames of revolution.

Team Lilypunk @teamlilypunk.bsky.social · 19d

Our first two characters, courtesy of @tg-marlo.bsky.social ! These two are inseparable - a prototype robot girl and her maintenance engineer/best friend - which is good because #Heavensfall is as much about relationships as it is about giant robots. #indiedev #mecha #yuri #digitalart #robotgirl

Two character reference images on a grey background. The one on the left is labelled "Crystal Saint-Claire, Chief Engineer, Mechanical Service Bottom." She wears a white labcoat, glasses, and sandals. Her eyes are blue, and her hair is a bright auburn ponytail. On the right is "Yurushi, ANGEL Unit 0, Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girl Bot." Yurushi is a visibly robotic girl with white and bronze armor plating from the neck down. Her face is more human, with green eyes and light blonde hair. There is a curving strand of her hair that resembles a halo.

Apologies for the quiet! Been coordinating with artists and dealing with some bureaucratic nightmares behind the scenes. Plenty of big things in the pipeline, don't you worry. ❤️

I think really the greatest loss in the great shortening of TV series across all countries is the complete erasure of slice of life/sitcom elements. Mecha was better when it was a slice of life too.

Lite's put together a way to look at things from the enemy AI's perspective. This setup briefly pauses itself as they move through their decision making process, letting us break it down step by step. #godot #indiedev #indiegamedev #heavensfall #mecha #mech #debug #gamedev
