Decided to go with a bright outline and then inverted black and white interior for the AoE zone, for contrast against the saturated colored environment.

Looking for playtesters!

Our tower defense game Rift Riff needs testing. Right now, a screen recording of the game + your voice (no face necessary) is the only feedback useful to us. If you're open to do that, sign up here: forms.gle/obJArPwAbYwT...

Testing predictive aiming for the enemies. Simply running around in circles to stay safe does not work anymore. I will not enable this for all the enemies but probably some of them.

Not sure this counts but day #278 of #Godot games using #GodotSteam! Today is Skillet by, well, GodotSteam! Set everything ablaze in this arena battler that also doubles as an open-source game showing how Godot works with the Steam API. Coming later this year!

Skillet is a delicious arena battler where everything is flammable and bouncy. You cannot directly attack anyone but you can definitely nudge someone into harm's way.
