Chatting and giving liked gifts to the npcs will increase their relationship stat. When it's reached a certain point, you'll be able to start making requests of them in the form of permanent upgrades. #gamedev #godot

Oh look, he remade a crafting system but it actually works with a recipe system and isn't butts to work with. And you can hand the items in for requests to gain renown to level up. #gamedev #godot

I appreciate all y'all new people buying my game and dropping by the streams! I'm not one to outwardly voice much aside from pterodactyl screeches, but thank you all the same!

Day 3 of learning Unity. Found a tutorial that didn't really explain how to make things from scratch so decided to remake it using my some art from Smol Survivors. Still have to wrap my head around how the engine handles things but getting better every day! #gamedev #pixelart #unityengine

I've started learning Unity and C#! Will probably be the focus of this month's streams as I try to become familiar enough to be able to make some small portfolio projects. That'll be Godot, Unreal, and Unity under my belt and if that doesn't land me work then I dunno what will

Oh hey I forgot to mention that my game Smol Survivors is 20% off on Steam! There's also a demo you can try! store.steampowered.com/app/3007290/...

Smol Survivors is a 2D reverse bullet-heck where smol blocks have become lost and need to find their friends and a way back home while fighting through hordes of enemies.

5 months after the jam that brought SCOPECREEP to life, I'm proud to say the Steam Page as now launched! If you like incremental games, make sure to wishlist it!

Also, it would mean the world to me if you spread the word!

I really wish the dialogue could be properly skipped cause I feel like this game would be my obsession if I could just jump into building. Love it but man starting a new game is a drag

Seems straightforward enough of an approach

How early do you start letting people play your game during development?

From experience, it's mostly because they want to emulate realistic lighting, which means they make emulated materials to interact with said lighting. Wish they wouldn't stick to such thought processes cause yeah it's looking so washed out.

Funnily enough, I also used this for mushrooms in my game. Made a function to grab the total amount of sprites so it's really flexible. I love Godot's animation tools.
