Finally tackled the upgrade system this weekend! Once you’ve collected enough coins, an overlay pops up with three random upgrades to choose from. The gameplay loop is pretty much done now! :)

Sawblades are always a good idea! Just lying in the middle of the path, moving back and forth like it’s the most natural thing in the world.

Maybe I’ll add one more obstacle, but I think I’m ready to start working on perks and upgrades.

New enemy type! I actually wanted to make a simple up-and-down moving sawblade, but what came out instead is a bunny with supernatural jump power. It’s got sharp teeth, too - two of them.

Spikes. Dangerous! Wrong shoes = instant death! Next step: figure out a reliable way to coordinate all the obstacles …

My game has snails now. What you do with them is entirely up to you.
I also upgraded the HUD - speed is now shown in horsepower (hp).
The knight got a bit sportier … he can duck now, too.

My game’s got gnomes now - the nasty kind. The ones that hover around and shoot at you for no reason … with giant Q-tips.

Making good progress! Added the first HUD elements and two new enemy types: an arrow (still missing its archer) and one (way too) fat budgie. The place’s starting to feel alive!

I’m working on new enemies for my minigame. Here’s the flight animation of a falcon - or maybe a brown budgie? At a certain resolution, it’s hard to tell.

Happy Halloween! 🎃

Made this back in 2016. 🕸️
Gave it a tiny touch-up.

My minigame now has classic coins! You’ll be able to trade them for upgrades later on - more stamina, extra power, a shield … you name it.

Next up: HUD elements and enemies.

Switching from #Construct3 to #Godot was totally worth it. Rebuilt everything in just 4 days.

Godot feels super solid on the Silicon Mac and is way less complicated than I expected. I think I’ll stick with it!

Turns out the ZIP file from #ChatGPT just caused a crash - so, no Skynet (yet). #gamedev

Bit by bit, my hobby horse mini-game’s coming together. Tweaked jump mechanics, polished parallax graphics, added collision checks and distance counter. Next up: knight-eating dragons!

Just got a Miyoo Mini Plus for PICO-8 & Splore. Took a bit to set up, but now I’m ready. Crazy how many carts already exist. There’s even a Berzerk! Bring on winter …

Activision’s ”Park Patrol“ is a hidden #C64 gem for me - accessible gameplay and a beautifully crafted, peaceful setting. Raises environmental awareness without wagging a finger. Smart! 🥫
