📆 New 30-day challenge!!

Some big progress on ROCKETPUNK 🚀 over the last couple of days - infinite level generation, new tiles, improvements to movement, implementation of background (not the final bg, more of a proof of concept)

🚀 Really excited to say I’m working on a new project with Resurge Studios: ROCKETPUNK (provisional title 🏗️)

Massive credit to @humanisred.bsky.social for their sick project JB (humanisred.itch.io/operajamgame) as our major source of inspo for this project‼️

🗓️ Day 30/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Challenge completed! ✅

I wasn't sure if the game would be finished by the end of the 30 days, nor the devlog - but both of them are now. The accountability of having to post every day has kept me disciplined..

🗓️ Day 29/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

The final push - so nearly there now! 😱

Sorted out a thumbnail for my devlog (pretty much ready to go), and a solid base for the cover art.

+ Got some helpful feedback from some playtesting 🗒️

Cover art coming along nicely for the itch.io listing + I've created a custom font (titled Inkwell) to make my life much easier when typing things out ⌨️

Loads of progress to report from today in general - controls menu, lots of new SFX, fixing various bugs.

THE... GAME... IS... FINISHED! 🥳

Finally, after ~143 days, several hundred hours of work, it is finally complete (version 1 at least 😅)

A gameplay clip with SOUND to celebrate 🎵

🗓️ Day 24/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

A busy day today, getting nearer to completion! Added in lots more sound effects, lots of work scouring the internet for sounds and editing in Audacity 😴

Playtesting to find + solve bugs, started work on cover art 👀

🗓️ Day 23/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Not the most interesting tasks today, but got some stuff done I've been putting off - namely: a fully functional settings menu 🛠️ (why did this take so long WAAH..) and sound effects for more than just the gun..

DEVLOG DONE ✅ Really happy with the way that it has turned out!

Bit of a throwback today to my early horrific attempts at map generation - it's come a long way 😅

🗓️ Day 20/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

2/3rds of the way there now... wahoo! 🎉

Not anything to show on the game itself today, but an exciting day for me nevertheless. I've been putting off the creation of a devlog for weeks...

Some non pixel art I've been working on recently..

🗓️ Day 19/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

🛠️ Did a lot of backend work aujourd'hui - fixed new game loading bug and added correct navigation tiles to all 30 rooms for pathfinding (fingers crossed it works...)

Also putting together some stuff for a devlog 👀🔜

... In other news, added in 4 new 2x2 rooms, really happy with them + fixed some bugs around minimap not loading sometimes.

Here's a peek of one of the new additions to the growing family of rooms:

The gamedev train is full steam ahead! 🚂💨

Decided to give my game a go at 2x scale, interesting to see the enemies up close + off-camera bullets add a layer of jeopardy 😰

🗓️ Day 17/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Making up for some lighter days with some quantum leaps today - (maybe not quantum... but close enough 😅)

~12-14 new rooms, can now replay after dying, fixed lots of small bugs 🐛, + continuous music...

🗓️ Day 15/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Too knackered for anything clever — it's room/level design day 🫠

Mainly been working on some cozy 1x1 rooms like the examples below:

Mostly behind the scenes things today, still some solid progress. To quench your thirst for more content, here's an extended clip of some gameplay from today 😋

More level + environment design coming soon ✏️

Enemies can now drop chests 😱. I'm also thinking of implementing a system where I have golden chests in addition to the existing silver one. You will only be able to get the rarer, stronger guns from the golden chests...
April 22, 2025 at 9:13 PM
🗓️ Day 12/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Lots to report today, added in two new enemies (Crimsonfang and Freezesnipe) which are related to existing enemies (Kindlefang and Glitchsnipe respectively). Implemented very quickly with no obvious bugs (yet... 🥲)

🗓️ Day 11/30 of consistently posting progress on my game

Some BIIGG OL' PROGRESS today 💥... Rustling up lots of new things! Quick summary: Guns use weighted probabilities and have unique effects (need playtesting for balance). Bullet damage varies...

Started using custom resources to streamline the collectable item system, including for guns... Think this should make thinks a lot more scalable, which is music to my ears 🎶

Thought I'd throw in the player's run cycle because why not? (who knew .gifs counted as a video?)
