Nothing much new to show, but as an amateur dev this scene transition was kind of an accomplishment! Only took the morning, and I'm feeling ambitious still.
What do I add next? Honest question, as I value feedback.

Hey Godot devs, are there any plugins in particular that you’d recommend for a solo dev making a 2D game?
I haven’t used any plugins so far and I was thinking that it might be a good idea to explore them and see if there’s anything that would greatly save my sanity

Working on making my NPC behavior more interesting by giving them vision with raycasts so they will need to see the player, not simply be psychic and know where the player is at all times

Today I’m working on trying to make the enemy behavior in my game more interesting
I’m thinking I’m going to implement a sort of “last known position” and investigation system when enemies lose sight of the player, which will let you flank them or escape fights

Overnight I managed to get my most views so far on a YouTube short for my gamedev channel ☺️
I’m going to continue to post short clips of my game as I develop it, and later on I want to make longer devlogs and demonstrations

I feel like solo game development is weirdly the only thing I’ve worked on where balancing so many different “roles” actually feels good to me
When I hit a wall with doing programming, I can switch to level design or art. When I have no creative energy, I switch to the business side of it

I’m hand-drawing a lot of my game assets and found out that procreate can export video timelapses which is pretty cool. I’m not that good at digital art yet but it’s very fun
So this is my process making a simple little 2D ammo box in Procreate which I’ll export into Godot

lol I’m curious if anyone has put Linux / SteamOS on an Xbox ally yet
Although, it looks like it’s basically the ROG Ally but with Xbox branding?

Wanted to give a shoutout to Doc because I was just reading through this yesterday and it was a great article that genuinely gave me a lot of ideas for how to differentiate enemy types in my game that I’ve already started to work on implementing

That's right. It's time for part 3 of the FPS series; this time, a lot of assorted thoughts on what makes for good enemy design. This one was fun as hell to write.

building a better first person shooter part 3: enemy mine
So! First, we talked about a specific subgenre of first person shooter, loosely starting with Unreal and Half-Life and dying off around…

Since I have a lot of time on my hands while I wait for news from job hunting, I'm going to focus a bit more on gamedev.
Most recently, I've been working on improving the projectiles, making them more visible, and fixing collision so they don't fly through the walls

I wasn’t able to take my gaming PC with me on the first trip when I moved, so I’ve had to use only my Steam Deck
Decided to use an external SSD plugged into the dock so I can just store games I’m not actively playing and it’s working pretty nicely

I can never decide if learning Serbian feels easier or harder after learning Russian
On one hand I kind of already understand the grammar and a lot of words are similar, I already know numbers, and I can already read Cyrillic, so learning the letters that are unique to Serbian was fairly easy

Finished round one of interviewing with a company and it went well
Was rejected for the role I applied for that I honestly was under-qualified for anyways, but moved forward for a different one and now I wait
I’m both so exhausted and so full of nervous energy at the same time lol
