Were you thinking about creating a tiny planet for our Community Challenge? 🌍

Then the ready-to-use #opensource community project with lights, shadows and curved-world shaders by @dragosha and Ross Grams might come in handy! 💡

Progress.

Finally fixed a weeklong bug, Bosses now behave properly and don't affect the rest of the level like before.

Needs a nerf and some polish though.

This week I’ve got a wild idea: boss monsters are coming to the game! Working on the intro scene where the creature shows up to mess with the player’s base

A sneak peek of the first Mid-stage boss battle.

Does it look human or alien made?

I'm working on a very simple scene for Defold to show example of movement + mouse to look around in 3D, used FreeStylized
textures for skybox and grass and @kaylousberg.bsky.social
models 💗

Do you have any suggestions?

Released Snake Descent! 🐍

It's a #turnbased #roguelike Snake, but with a Twist!

You collect upgrades and attach them to your body, but when it is cut off - you lose it! ✂️
But don't worry, lost parts are your Descent for respawn too! 🎂
