Jade and Kaguya digging through soft soil.

Jade and Kaguya burrowing, they are two mounds of dirt leaving behind a trail of smaller mounds.

A small change that I somehow hadn't thought of doing until now, but the smoke from Kaguya's jetpack now changes color depending on the jet currently being used.

I think it really helps differentiate the jets!

I made a door, only to realize you won't have the right ability to open it until later on, so it's kinda useless now, oops.

It also somehow made a sweet sounding jingle by just editing the pitch of a single note over time? Don't know how that happened lol

I think a total overhaul for the lighting system could be cool, but I don't know how to keep a nice, clean pixel art look with more advancing lighting. I don't want it to end up looking like an HD-2D game, but also don't want it to have no lighting...

Some edits to the cave areas.

Jade and Kaguya standing in a rocky cave. There are stalagmites and stalactites, pillars, and orange vines in the background.

Trying new sprites for the jetpack's smoke, I have been unhappy with every revision for the smoke, but this one is okay and I'll probably be keeping it for a while.

Jade and Kaguya and hovering above the ground, showcasing the new sprites for the jetpack's smoke.

If you don't have a jet yet, the item icon goes in the corner! :)

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
Kaguya and Jade are jumping, and the UI has health, 30 currency, and a drill item icon in the corner.

I just made a small change so that you can burrow in the ground, but not on thin platforms. I think this will open some interesting puzzle opportunities and just makes more sense.

Some updates to the UI:

Shading adding to the jet icons
An early implementation of the item display to the left of the jet display

Thoughts?

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart
Screenshot of Apogee, showing Jade and Kaguya standing in a cave. The UI has health and money on the left side. On the right, there is an item display above a blue icon for the Hover Jet. It shows an item icon inside a circle.

I implemented a currency system but I don't really have any ideas for what I would need in a shop, especially for a vertical slice that doesn't have a full game worth of items to pull from...

What items would you need on the Moon...?

I added a cute little feature, where Kaguya and Jade and can talk to each other with a little speech bubble on the bottom of the screen, so they can interact without halting gameplay!

Working on a new character??

Only characters I've got in-game right now are Jade and Kaguya, so I think it is time.

While working on my last game, Panoptia. I never noticed that the player's move speed was too fast, since I was so accustomed to the speed after years of development.

I wonder, is Apogee's movement excessively fast too? It doesn't feel like it to me, but I'm the dev!

Working on a tileset, I want to make a ton of different color variations of the tileset. Someone know a way to replace colors in Gamemaker...?

How much content should be in a vertical slice...? I could keep working on it forever, but at some point I want to get feedback.

If I undercook it, then the feedback won't be useful, but if I overcook it, then I might need to revert so much!

Coding a boss enemy right now, but it's pretty difficult. I thought it'd just be like coding a regular enemy, but it is pretty complex!

Working some more on this tileset. I think it looks less repetitive and easier on the eyes, but it doesn't feel as rocky as the original...

Work must still be done!

Updated my carrd to have a page on Apogee. Check it out!

#gamedev #indiedev
Screenshot of enricosut.carrd.co, showing the page on Apogee, my upcoming game. It says: APOGEE Started on: October 16th, 2024 Release Date: ??? An astronaut named Kaguya crash landed her ship on the Moon and meets Jade, a Moon rabbit. Together, they will work together to safely get Kaguya back home to Earth before she runs out of oxygen. Follow development on my Bluesky! The page then shows a video and screenshots of the game.

A problem I am running into is that whenever I want to show screenshots of Apogee's vertical slice, every image feels same-y. I need a second biome to spice things up visually...

#gamedev #indiedev
Jade and Kaguya hovering above a red forest, with a slime enemy in front of them. Jade and Kaguya falling down in the red forest, about to land near a bird enemy. Jade and Kaguya crouching next to a mysterious green ring with an orange star inside.
