This is the Steam trailer for Star Spark that I'd been working on!
The game isn't done, but just having the store page is a big milestone for me.
Wishlist it if you like what you see!

Working on a teleport effect. The idea is that after selecting a character...
- they'll teleport off screen
- the screen fades to the map
- the character teleports onto the map
This is also how they'll change locations during runs.

We've been working on something special for you, GDLibrary: a completely free library for Godot devs
Think of it as your go-to place whenever you need help: tutorials, guides, a glossary to look up terms, and open source demos and assets to use in your games!
Here's a quick peek at what's coming.

The combat section of the tutorial takes places in a corridor where the first lesson is how to dodge missiles. To pass, the player has to dodge more than half the missiles. After this, the player will use their weapons to destroy those turrets

Bit surprised to have a completely packed to the gills auditorium for this one. I was expecting like, 10 students and a cat.
Being vulnerable about struggles on stage for a larger crowd sure was, uh. Hrm.

Volume was our first game to have voice-acted characters, with the talents of Danny Wallace, Charlotte McDonnell, & Andy Serkis.
If you played Thomas Was Alone, you'll know Danny's voice. He plays Alan, the artificial intelligence within the military training simulator you've just stolen.

In the past few weeks I've been working on the save system of my game.
It's the kind of work that is not good for social media, but it's vital for the game.
Now I can move on to more fun stuff 😄
