Our first scene is done!

This update brings the first use of a gallery with general flow to games & back.

There're bugs in the scene but it's more fun to hop around & throw bombs at Boris than the original game!

I'm thinking of redoing it in @godotengine.org just to see how long it would take.

Moose At Play @mooseatplay.itch.io · 14d

I wasn't sure I could pull it off...but I got a game I made 22 years ago in college working on modern Linux!

Technically, #SteamDeck playable 😆

Try to control a blob infestation before it reaches 100% and humanity is doomed.

This looks amazing! I'm grabbing the demo now.

To be clear, there are no visual bugs in the Break Channel itself. It's ready to be merged.

The visual bugs are in the HTML5 hack I did to give mooseatplay.itch.io/gdq-vampire something to run.

Added my @gamesdonequick.com Break Channel to my @itch.io page. Maybe it'll get merged someday 😄

Took some time to create a standalone HTML5 app to fake the React-based channel system, & there's visual bugs, but it runs.

Micro-design post:

#gamedev #indiedev #gamedesign

When are bombs dangerous?

Should a bomb hurt you if you hold it too long? Should it clip the back of your head if you throw it while jumping? These are the kinds of design questions I’ve been revisiting while trying to make...

Semisolid platforms: simple but not easy

mooseatplay.itch.io

Moose At Play @mooseatplay.itch.io · Sep 14

Semisolid platforms are not negligible to implement.

Working on allowing characters to walk & jump through, then land & stay on top. The challenge is compounded when there are multiple levels of platforms, standing on one and trying to walk through a slightly higher one.

#indiedev #gamedev #godot

A video game character standing on a semisolid platform that he can both walk and jump through but then land and stay on top. The developer challenge is compounded when there are multiple levels of platforms.

Ugh. Dragon Quest IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies needs a new release so folks who didn't play it on DS can play it.

It's my absolute favorite of the series!

And a second post with the first game screenshots to make sure it's not vaporware!

Rocky and Bullwinkle bomb mechanics

The first game to get this treatment, as I said in the announce, is Rocky & Bullwinkle. I've implemented a basic tile set, Bullwinkle animations, bomb logic, and an NPC who doesn't move but can throw....

I absolutely loved that one!

Also, first one with Dominic Armato, the perfect and only voice of Guybrush!

Congrats on Patch 2.0!

For those who haven't tried, this is a great addition to the genre and frantic fun! Now with multiplayer?!

I'm glad this video was somehow still able to happen despite all the garbage the staff at @polygon.com have gone through. Please give it a watch and support independent games media.
