I think I FINALLY have entities freaking working in my game. I did not expect it to take so long, but apparently the way I was trying to save them (json) flat out doesn't work in Odin. Now using encoding/cbor and that works well. Should be able to make good progress now. #odin #gamedev #programming

Progress is being made! Bullets now fire right and left. 👍However, now saving and loading doesn't work. When I save, exit and load again, all the spawners shoot bullets right (it doesn't save which ones should shoot bullets left). #gamedev #odin #raylib #programming #screenshotsaturday

Making Progress! Now the bullets all spawn at the same time and make collision with blocks. The length of the entity array is staying under control as well, as destroyed bullets are removed from the array. Nice! #gamedev #programming #odin #raylib

Well, it's progress. However, all these bullet spawners are supposed to be firing at the same time. So... gotta work on that. #programming #gamedev #odin #raylib

I started to get overwhelmed at what was left for World 3, so I just wrote it all down. Now, I can knock it out one thing at a time and not worry about it. Seeing it presented as such is quite freeing to me. 👍 #gamedev #indiedev #platformer

World 3 - Art Test 02. I like this one a bit better, but still deciding on the final look and colors. Hmm... #gamedev #platformer

World 3 - Art Test 01 - Still figuring out how I want the world to look. Here is pass one. Constructive criticism welcome! Please let me know I can make it better! :) #gamedev #platformer

Great news! After about a week of looking at nothing but scripts that look like this (see attached) World 3 is all connected! (except the boss room). Feels good to play the levels as indented. Gonna shift into final art for the levels or boss design next. Hmm... #gamedev #platformer

I don't know how people always have exciting things to post for #gamedev . Right now, all I'm doing is extending scripts to handle all the new rooms I just made. Looking forward to when everything's connected and it all works. :) #platformer

So I downloaded/updated Gamemaker just to look at it and WHAT THE CRAP HAPPENED TO GAMEMAKER?! It's super-slow and has been stuck on this screen for like 5 mins. -->

Catgirl Study (throwback). I haven't drawn in a while. It's good to see stuff like this, though. :)
