Who needs a core game loop implemented when you could instead refine the little guy Squish n' Squeak™
I am truly a master of game jam time management.

Been chuggin' away at this next update! I added a new explosive turret and a tag system for upgrades. Now, advanced upgrades will only appear in the pool if the player already has upgrades with the specific tags they're looking for!

Found a crash, so patch 0.3.1 is out sooner than expected!

In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at one of the next vehicle parts I've got in the oven.

Took a bit longer of a break than I had planned, but I'm back in the saddle working on version 0.3.0!
Here's a sneak peek of one of the new upgrades, Troop Transport. Player projectile upgrades, like ricochet, also get applied to their bullets!

Version 0.2.0 is out now! Added some requested quality-of-life UI to keep track of upgrades the player has already selected.

I updated the first boss with new art, animations, and 2 new segment types (turrets and bomb launchers). I still need to refine and balance it, but it already feels like a much better challenge!

Part/copilot unlocking is finally fully implemented via menus! I also added uniform patches to represent each of the different copilots.

Added a chain lightning upgrade!
Bullets and pickups now also have trails for more visual flare.

I haven't shown off much in the last few weeks (mostly back-end changes) but I've still been plucking away at it!
- Boss enemies, including UI & Music
- Run data and save data management (scoreboard & progression incoming!)
- Minor CRT shader adjustments
#godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #roguelike

Added a new pickup to call in a bombing run on your position!
I also got around to adding some player projectile fire/hit VFX.
#godot #gamedev #indiedev #rougelike #roguelite

Here's what I've added over the past week:
- Main menu
- Scene transitions
- Part previews
- Upgrade icons
- Game over screen

It's beginning to feel more like a full game!
#godot #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #roguelike #roguelite

Gave the UI some more attention today so now all buttons should have animation and audio. I also finally added a simple tween-in animation to the level-up screen.
#godot #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike

Progress on the game has been great this week! Here's the new:
- Magnet pickups to grab XP & health
- Revamped item drop systems
- Co-pilots (Unique starting passives)
- The heavy frame has a drill now!
- Added a music manager system & new music
- Part names & descriptions

Finally updated all buildings to be destructible/burnable! Also redid the flamethrower turret and light chassis sprites since they were using an older style. Revamping enemy pathfinding is next on the to-do list.
#godot #gamedev #indiedev

Toggled the CRT filter off to minimize video compression, but I've got explosive barrels in now!
I still need to swap the big buildings to my new interaction system so projectiles can destroy them. Regardless, I'm thrilled with how far map generation has come along!
#godot #gamedev #indiedev

Figure I should start sharing some #gamedev progress here!
Just added some placeholder tiles for larger buildings in map generation.
Still need to add enemy pathfinding and projectile collision but I'm liking the feel so far!
