A timelapse of some game dev work I've been doing, plus a small preview of the game's soundtrack made with ReNoise.

Probably one of the more involved backgrounds I've done for this game. I have a timelapse of making it that I might post on YouTube later as well.

I recently played one of my old games again where the whole point is you're trying not to die of the cold, but one of the levels straight up gives you a jet pack.
And yet it doesn't warm you at all??

Did some animation and sound effects for this weird crystal thingy that takes you to new worlds. Still has a couple issues for now, but it's coming along nicely I think.

If you have a SubViewport in Godot, apparently you can assign its render to a TextureRect.
So I crammed the world into one, and made this really trippy effect by overlaying them. Probably shouldn't use it in the final game. Looks really cool, though.

Had time to spare between college assignments, so I could get a little work done today. Got halfway through drawing an outline for the new world map, and spent a couple hours making this movement guide to aid me in level design. Although far from perfect, it works well for now.

Alright, so I've been absolutely hammered with assignments, exams, and projects this month. Made the mistake of trying to take an advanced, condensed class "on the side."
I don't know when I'll have some free time again. But I promise I WILL be back at some point before the year's end.

Work on Dreamscape is probably going to slow down a little bit. Have a condensed college class I need to spend some time getting ahead on. It's been a kind of chaotic week...

Was curious what would happen if I made the 3D update process rely on RNG...

Pseudo-3D trees.
Struggled a ton with figuring out a background for this zone, and although this is totally nonsensical, it looks cool and was way easier to do in this perspective.

Some procedural flowers and grass. I think it adds a dynamic touch to this zone which has been missing, and it's a simple raycast-based scan so it's very easy to deploy.
Also, yes, there's no background. I wasn't particularly fond of the old one, so I want to try something simpler.

Super rough 3D experiment I quickly made last night. Not entirely sure how I feel about the effect, but it could be neat as long as I'm subtle about it.

I know I don't have much of a following here on Bluesky, but I wanted to share this anyway. I've pledged what little I can already. It's not much, but it's something at least.
Flightless Fables is 50% funded, but there's only a few days left in the campaign!
Let's see what's possible with just a few days of crowdfunding 👀

Finally breaking ground on a pause menu and map system. Might have a short demo ready before October.
I find that UI is kind of like a bathroom. It's not what brings people in, nor is it particularly exciting to work on, but I want it to be as clean as possible anyway.

May not look super impressive right now since it's just UI and has no sound yet, but this was a hassle to make! Especially the input remapping. Plus, I had to make my own button object since Godot's was being a little finicky.
Still some work to be done, but it's coming along well.

Well that's not supposed to happen...

Those blue boxes are supposed to tell the camera where to move to, room to room. I had to change the base resolution of the game to fit the gameplay better, so the size of a "room" has changed as a result. Meaning the entirety of all these old levels are broken. Guess there's no going back now!

Quick progress update on Dreamscape:
Most of the main mechanics are done, and a lot of artwork is finished as well, but sound and music are critically lacking and there are significant portions of the game itself that I've yet to do. Like boss fights.
Overall, probably about 30% of the way there.

Decided to test exporting in advance, and I am quite pleased to find that nothing has broken on either Windows or Linux. Very nice!
Though, running around the world I've created makes me realize that, man, this game's a lot bigger than I thought it'd be initially.
