Cleaned up a lot of cruft with portals to make them perform way better, especially when theres multiple close by/in view. Not perfect but theyre useable! last thing to work in is to get audio to 'flow' through them.

Its got clunk, but the innards/flow of settings and title screens are up and running. Think thats the last foundational thing I wanted to hit before I can now just cruise on the fun game parts as far as I can take for the next two weeks.

i take frenzy damage every time i see someone go "well i just use it for the boring stuff". what are you TALKING about? if it's boring or unimportant, why are you putting it in? NPC dialogue is fertile ground for worldbuilding, creating verisimilitude, conveying important information, and hijinks!!
Buy a solo indie dev's game because I want to support them.
Find out it uses OpenAI to write "non-important NPC dialogue".

Since ability upgrades are kinda important to track for a metroidvania, made a lil widget to show em. Kinda odd as is, but my plan beyond the jam is to expand this kinda slidein menu, in lieu of normal full screen pause menu stuff

Unearthed some extra old npc/attack stuff I had lying around. Was fond of these lil chompy guys when I made em but I wanna model up something specific for the jam if time permits. Quite a mess under the hood tho thats for sure 😅

Probably the last post I'll do for this one~
With a turntable to follow.
It's cool to me how well the form kinda translated to my aesthetic, it's been fun~
I should have a test print done in a few days when I get the supports back. See if that thread is doable~

Sorta on an unintended hiatus with my platformer thats been bumming me out but #MetroidvaniaMonthJam is here to bring back my motivation! My goal/hope is to package up what I mostly already have into a lil metroidjam game and springboard back into regular progress again

"Quality of Life Improvements" are sometimes a bad idea for your game. Don't round out your interesting edges because you're afraid a player will feel a hard feeling!

Been a bit! Motivation n progress has been at an all time low but I finally setup this lil after image effect I've been wanting to do for a while.
Just early fiddling but really I wanna use this specifically for the hyper jump and dashes.

🍬🎃SUGAR GHOULS IS OUT🎃🍬
I emerge from underground to bring you a new Halloween platformer I've been working on non-stop for the last 2 weeks. It's got pumpkins, it's got goblins, but most importantly, it has GHOST KID.
So grab some candy, a controller, and have fun~

More animations for roll jumps, punches and a lil air attack. You can probably guess where some inspiration came from. Real happy with how the jump outta the roll turned out!

inventing a unit like scovilles but for games, where instead of the pain you experience from eating a spicy chili it's the amount of mental anguish you are experiencing from a sense of being compelled to continue playing the game despite wishing you were doing literally anything else

last night somebody reminded me of a time many years ago when I got some game narrative insight from somebody at Valve, so I have now published it in a blog post
