Rocket Dodgeball now has a singleplayer practice mode, playable in-browser!
(Multiplayer WIP)

Back to Basics
I spent a while overengineering the previous rocket physics, and I ended up going back to square one with the project, and in its' current form I'm incredibly happy. Next steps are going to be actuall...

If you've been following along, dodgeball now has quite a few new additions

Between abilities, social features, and spectators, I'm really excited to have gotten this out :)

We've got quite a bit to cover in this update: - Abilities Press F to dash on the field (very rudimentary), allowing for escapes or better control of faster rockets Press E to spring into the air, all...

Here's a short demo video of how it looks loading into the dodgeball game now.
You can set your name and a custom color to distinguish yourself in the lobby!
Other players can join as spectators and watch in-game now!

The best thing about being a #solodev is that I can make big decisions and no one can stop me.

2 day weekend with a holiday means trying to get out something fresh for dodgeball.
Might try my hand at some player models, and getting some of those abilities into a playable build. (We already have the dash working)

Putting some abilities into my rocket dodgeball game:
- dash, simple but lots of usability
- double jump, maybe a jetpack?
- temporary invisibility, confuse opponents?
- boost control, more control/speed when flicking the rocket?

This is adorable and I would LOVE something like this instead of animating some sprites for eyes :)

Now I'm working on a Godot face shader. It controls the position and shape of the eyes, nose, and mouth. I'd like to add more eye shapes next. Maybe some eyebrows.
Any other suggestions?

Along with the orbits posted earlier, we have better bouncy rockets too :)

Like the original gamemode, "orbiting" is now an intentional design choice in my "Rocket Dodgeball" game.
Check it out :)

Hey, i just wrote a playable demo for a Godot "rocket dodgeball" game inspired by TF2 dodgeball.

Thanks if you check it out :)

The FBI is offering $50k USD for the CEO shooter.
NYPD is offering $10k USD.

If you know the shooter, now's the time to start a bidding war between the FBI and the NYPD.

It takes basically everything great about the original game and turns it *back* into melee which is great if that's your thing, and for a while it was.

But a game as intentionally fast paced and with a proper engine to boot, I just don't understand how you're supposed to enjoy it without sweating.

Rivals of Aether 2 is possibly the saddest I've been with myself regretting a purchase. I backed the game and knew how it was ultimately going to go, and all it delivers is exactly what it wants, to be fair. However, I think as a genre, developers need to step back and rethink platform fighters. 1/
