Babysteps with the day-night system using Crystal Lighting Engine by @foxyofjungle.bsky.social. Very powerful. Pretty much overpowered for this, but I just LOVE dynamic shadows in low-res pixelart games. Hope I can get this right over time #gamedev #pixelart #gamemaker #slimeonline

Creating mockups for the inventory screen. Stuff can have tags, description, name, effects, assigned colors. Most inventories wont allow for stacking stuff, but some categories do. This is just brainstorming right now. I need to look up references #gamedev #pixelart #gamemaker #slimeonline

Got a lot done today. Hidden passages are in. Ping, FPS counter are in. Outfits are loaded from external files and a lazy way to swap outfits is in. Daughter of 4 years old proposed adding strong currents under water. Will definetly implement that! #gamedev #slimeonline #gamemaker #pixelart

Had a lot of progress on #slimeonline the last couple days. Room loading from files, player handling, ping, drawing players sprite, first interactive things... soon a first connection test with some people. Lot of things still to be added... but its a lot of fun! #gamemaker #gamedev #pixelart

Rly enjoying planning ahead for my #gamedev project. Currently figuring out how to store n process rooms in the game and the different stuff inside a room. Currently adding dynamic warps depending on conditions the player has to meet in order to get different target locations #gamemaker #slimeonline

Finally working on interactive stuff. This is a test for a savepoint. You can activate it to set the current map and position as your spawn position on relogging. Graphics r WIP #slimeonline #gamedev #pixelart #gamemaker

Wish I had something to show regarding gamedev, but the last nights I've been spending refining the client / server structure, loading / saving player data and getting classes done for handling information bout entities. I am making progress, just nothing thats relevant to a player.

That looks like a great smartphone background! Great job

That was on Amazon years ago… 6 years? Has been discontinued. Luckily I bought a couple back that time.

I got some more battle music done for my Game Boy RPG! 👾

I was composing this with the intention of it being the regular battle music, but I think it came out too intense. I'm thinking of swapping it with the current boss battle music. 🎶

Just wanted to do a lil #gamedev … then daughter noticed and wanted to play… even though there is not much to do yet. #slimeonline #gamemaker

Having a real hard time trying to convert the graphics from the old game to the style of the new one. Too many colors back then, no outline... trying to limit the color count ...this is hard. It often ends up looking flat. Any advices? #pixelart #gamedev #slimeonline

Today I did a lot of work on the server-side for #slimeonline. IO from file system is in. Fake login screen is in. Fixed a really bad bug that drove me crazy... but I really want to do something that can be SEEN soon... need some visual changes to convince me its worth it #gamedev #gamemaker

Today I added login / logout / room changing to #slimeonline 2.0. It all works pretty nicely. Also messed with a custom palette swap shader. I would want players to be able to select their favorite colors (from a 64 colors palette). Got lots done today and had a lot of fun #gamedev #gamemaker

So I rushed things a lil and tried getting movement fixed... and something weird happened xD got it sorted out, but I thought this was hilarious so I'd share it. Made some good progress today. Movement (left, right, jump, crouch, run) is synced! #slimeonline #gamemaker #pixelart #gamedev

Finished a first working implementation of the client / server architecture. Wrote a class diagram and sequence diagrasms in preparation. Packet handling and internal routing works, but it might take some time getting used to. Tomorrow will be testing and refactoring #slimeonline #gamedev #gamemaker

Started creating the client / server structure today. With #gamemaker s new capabilities (compared to 8.X) comes the craving to want to organize it all in better ways… but it’s difficult. It’s all working, but I want to have a clean and easy-to-understand code base for this #slimeonline #gamedev

Not much progress today on #slimeonline. Last days I didnt get enought sleep xD I tried to get a bad version of the mockup background going. Currently fixated n looks weird. Implemented very basic room changing... but now I got all I need for the client/server #gamemaker #gamedev #pixelart
