MAJOR feature update:
-Added sweat
#automon #indiegame #gamedev

Main menu done. Well, kinda? For now? I guess? Until I get dissatisfied with it again?
Added Chat, Autodox, very minor player customization, fullscreen settings and reworked match creation so you can dick around in main menu while waiting for players
#automon #indiegame #gamedev

Increased player limit to 16 for science
Look at this huge ass map! There are even duplicate gyms, because it spawns 1 per player + 1 more but there are only 10 types
Dare I keep doubling until it crashes? Are 1024 player matches the future of gaming?

Ahhh, menus. Every developer's favourite thing to do.
(Not final obviously, just testing layouts and stuff)
#indiegame #gamedev #automon #automonarena

Made a new trailer for Automon Arena's entry into Next Fest (starting this Monday!)
Hope to see you all committing violence against virtual ugly animals then

Adding that thingamajig I was talking about - the game will only show relevant types by default, but you can see all types for reference if you wish. There will be a button to lock this view as well, if you prefer it
#automon #indiegame #gamedev

UI rework, clearly WIP. Major changes here: choosing Automons now looks cooler on both sides, and the type table doesn't show up unless you have an active bonus. There will be a way to expand it to always show all types, in case you want to preview bonuses you don't have
#automon #indiegame #gamedev

Revolutionary UI technology, gonna patent this bad boy
#automon #indiegame #gamedev

Focusing on some important features for Automon Arena (I've done nothing but draw shiny sprites for 3 days)
#automon #indiegame #gamedev

MASSIVE changes to the Automon Arena experience: buttons are now pretty and clicky AND there's a quit button instead of pressing R like you're debugging your first project. If that doesn't get you to wishlist, I don't know what will

Added map scrolling through mouse dragging, which pushes Automon Arena into Game of the Year territory.
Oh also added more holes to the map, it's a bit more patchy with players having more room to dick around before getting kicked out to harder areas
#automon #indiegame #gamedev

Little update to the evolution animation to make it clear where the second Automon went... #automon #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike

Messing around with world generation, here's a few examples.
It's quite chaotic and absolutely not even in terms of accessible areas and gyms around each player, but that's ok. As a wise man once said, "balance is for wieners"

Got the attention span of a child with ADHD using TikTok after drinking 5 coffees and snorting cocaine? You can speed up the battles and spend more time staring at the map screen instead! Or just press skip and miss the whole thing if you like
#indiegame #automon #gamedev

Beautiful new animation for upgrading Automons. The game is getting juicier every day
#indiegame #gamedev #automon

Working for the animation for releasing your Automons into the wild so they can leave their peaceful, unbothered life
#automon #indiegame #gamedev

Got another set of 3 sprites from the artist! Floatox, Pelifin and (not pictured here) Meishowl now look handsome
#indiegame #gamedev #automon

Silly little change - hovering on type icons will now liven up all Automons on the screen that have that type. Look at them go!
