Been hard at work on the ship-vs-ship mini game in my untitled pirate game. Like in the remake of Sid Meier's Pirates!, combat is initiated by pressing the ACTION button and selecting appropriate action from the menu #gamedev #indie #indiedev #pixelart #gameart #godot #2d #screenshotsaturday

I have started working on the ship-to-ship combat and I needed another ship for testing. So, I introduce the Pinnace. The smallest ship in the game but also the fastest and most maneuverable one #gamedev #pixelart #gameart #godot #spritestacking

Spent some time this evening polishing the game and adding a few larger islands where I will put some cities to visit (and plunder) #gamedev #pixelart #gameart #godot #spritestacking #screenshotsaturday

Now that the ship controller is about finalised I am ready to work on the map. I am not going for realism so I want to generate the map procedurally and then adjust it to be more interesting #gamedev #pixelart #gameart #godot #spritestacking #screenshotsaturday

Added some cannons .. it is not a real pirate ship without cannons, right? #gamedev #pixelart #gameart #godot #spritestacking

Trying again since the previous version of this ended up as a static image instead of an animation #gamedev #pixelart #gameart #godot

Been experimenting with animated sprite stacking. The flag will orient in the wind direction (Left vector) independent of the ship heading direction. Ship will also move faster if the ship is before the wind #gamedev #pixelart #godot #gameart

2025 is going to be the year I release a game on Steam #gamedev #indiedev #newyearsresolution

Not much progress has been made the past week. Work and family has limited #gamedev time. I managed to get doors working as a first step in the larger interaction system #screenshotsaturday #dungeoncrawler #drpg

Had an hour before work today to start working on the interaction system. The door will always open away from the player to prevent the player being hit by the door #gamedev #indiedev #drpg #madewithunity #dungeoncrawler

Been a few days since I had a chance to work on my classic dungeon crawler prototype. Re-worked the grid system to also work with stairs, ladders, obstacles, gates, doors etc #gamedev #indiedev #drpg #dungeoncrawler #madewithunity #unity6

Working on a small dungeon crawler prototype. I have fond memories of playing Eye of the Beholder, Bards Tale, Lands of Lore and recently Legend of Grimrock, so wanted to try making my own #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #drpg
