iOS, game and audio dev. I made Septourian, snibbetracker and a few other things.
Added food item degradation mechanism where everything eventually turns into slop if carried around for too long. Will be taking some time off this project and pick up development in December again. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #ゲーム制作 #ドット絵

Hello. Are you making a game or art that could in any way be described as "retro"? If so, I'd love to see it! Please reply below. (no AI stuff, thx)

This week I did a lot of balancing of the leveling and eq system, added carry weight limits and started on a hub + tutorial area. I find myself getting drawn in more often when playtesting which is a good sign that I'm on the right track. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #ゲーム制作 #ドット絵

Had to review the changelog to remember what I've been working on this week, but some UI/UX, hunger system and the ability for NPCs to consume food and scavange for it among loot. Also here's the player being chased by a plague rat. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #ゲーム制作 #ドット絵

Adding some "delicious" dungeon foods; Quaffing a potion of resist poison before consuming alleviates most of the bad effects, though there's still a 5% risk of contracting plague (less if your vitality stat is good). #indiegames #dungeoncrawler #roguelike #pixelart

Lots of work on settings menu this week; Key and gamepad button bindings took more time than expected due to supporting both native macOS/iOS and SDL2. Still some settings left to add though, but the main structure is in place at least. #screenshotsaturday

The prototype has been getting a lot more playable this week since the core functionality solidified. Here's an example of a battle between warriors, necromancers, healers and raised skeletons from both factions. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

Tried the demo for Dragon Quest XI - Definitive edition on PS5. Was reminded of Toriyama’s character design in Chrono Trigger, and very fun monster design as always in these games. The first village was very similar to Kakariko in Zelda on 64. Combat was not very satisfying though. #minireview #dqxi

Noticed today that VLC can play SNES sound files out of the box! (.spc format). Incredibly handy as it saves both disk space and bandwidth.

Played the Rise of the Rōnin demo for a bit and tried to map the buttons to match Sekiro but it’s just not the same, no game will ever be the same 😩

Most of this week's work has been about going through the core functionality, validating that everything works as it should and cleaning up where necessary. I also added new fonts and border seen in the screenshot. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #prototype

Work with fleshing out the behavior engine has continued this week, and took a detour to investigate Japanese language support. I find the lower one a bit more readable than the upper, what do you think? #screenshotsaturday #ドット絵 #日本語

Behaviour engine foundation is in place. It's a priority based list for each entity iterated each tick. The necromancer in the example will try raise a corpse if the resources are available and within line of sight. If not they will just go with a regular attack. #screenshotsaturday

Cleared Human Mission 11: Betrayal and the Destruction of Alterac yesterday. It’s one of my most enjoyed maps so far in that it employed really clever use of terrain and was pretty chill overall. I chopped a path through the woods top left and made a sneak attack eastwards. #warcraft2

Back from vacationing and continuing work on this prototype. Not much visual progress has been made other than an updated attack animation. Most of the focus forward will be on the entity behaviour engine which I will hopefully complete next week. #screenshotsaturday

Looked through a few old spritesheets for a game for reference and was reminded that I have almost never seen a sheet produced where animated sprite frames were positioned in correct relation to one another (with bounding boxes defined). I wonder why that is, and how people would actually use them..

Played through the demo of Destiny Spire by @r1kgames.bsky.social. It’s a classic retro styled JRPG with pixelart and chiptune soundtrack with customisable party. The demo took about 2h to complete and was really enjoyable, check it out here store.steampowered.com/app/3369150/... #minireview

I’ve been playing a fantranslation of Treasure Hunter G for SNES recently and apart from a few UX quirks I like it! Especially the tactical battle system. For some reason it reminds me of Super Mario RPG which is very nice. Too bad Square never released it outside of Japan. #minireview

Completed a full playthrough of the Orc campaign in Warcraft II today. I played it as a kid but never got very far. Some of the last missions were tough as nails so did cheat a bit. Very charming game although a bit annoying unit micro management #minireview #warcraft2 #WarcraftII
