Exploring strange game design ideas, because:
The world needs more strange games.

Still working on my main game, but I remembered a fever dream I had many years ago and felt inspired.
Might become my side project!

I've been working on more enemy sprites but since art is my biggest weakness it's been quite a struggle.
This is the result of a lot of iteration and frustration and I'm not happy with it, BUT it's still something!
The struggle is part of the process!

Turns out the old upgrade system doesn't work. I'm currently rewriting it, which is mostly backend work.
I don't have much to show, but check this out!

Oh yeah, btw: Use Godots build in UI controls. They are really good! Don't try to roll your own, lmao.

10 things to think about :) Come see us at @ThoughtBubbleuk.bsky.social COMIC FESTIVAL on 15th - 16th NOVEMBER! We’ll have the FINAL COPIES of the original print run of our TUTORIALS BOOKS, plus COMICS GALORE!

Done with the prototype upgrade screen. I'm only going to show 3 revolver upgrades, though. I will not spoil the final revolver upgrade or any of the other weapon upgrades.
Those will remain a mystery for ya'll to unlock later!

I've been really struggling to come up with a good looking and well functioning upgrade screen.
So now I've decided to just come up with a concept today, make it work tomorrow and look good later.
I'm posting this to tell my perfectionism to go fuck itself.

Alright, I couldn't help myself... I had to add a double barrel shotgun!

Got distracted by an idea for enemy health bars. They disappear after the enemy has not been hit for at least 6 seconds.
I feel like adding this information component to the combat could make it more interesting.

I'm working on the upgrade system and realized that it's going to take a while.
In the meantime enjoy this footage of the result of me implementing the gold sucking radius.
Feels a lot better than having to pick up each individual bar. That's for sure. 💰

I've decided to add reloading again, after all. I feel like it adds tension to the combat. It's quick 'n painless, especially with upgrades! Which I'm going to work on next.

Weapon spinning is still in the game, BUT it will be up to ya'll to find out where! 😎

Feeling a bit bored implementing combat, BUT I came up with a new enemy anyway. Still not sure how to balance the bug/lizard aesthetic, but that's a job for future me.
Might work on upgrades next, have some variety - the spice of game dev!

I also gave this guy an attack, check this out:

I have added yet another enemy! Graphics are a bit rough, because I want to focus on getting the combat system done, so I can balance it.
Combat is the highest priority task right now and I gotta resist feature creeeep...!
Also: changed animations!

I gave bullets a fixed life time, increased bullet damage and BOOM: combat is a lot more interesting already. Just because of these two changes!
Now I gotta find a way to reward aggressive players with loot.
Firing speed can be upgraded later with gold!

I have created a rather rough sketch of a new enemy. You can shoot its legs off, no problem. It's quite resilient!

Side note: I never expected how much work animation would be... wow! It's intense but also quite enjoyable and rewarding. I like it!

I got way too ambitious again, and I followed through again! Took me like 10 tries to get to this and these aren't even the final graphics, but I'm pretty proud of this. I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just doing it, lol.

I'm going to tackle combat next, so I'm going to need enemies. I feel like I'm way out of my depth doing animation, but so far it's been quite rewarding!
He's still missing his combat behavior and animations, but check this guy out!

Nintendo DS aesthetic. Low poly, crunchy, chill. You grow your own tea plant over multiple weeks, like Nintendogs. Then you have to setup your own ceremonial process, you choose the actions, music, etc.
Then you drink it and the game starts over.

State machines!
Yesterday I was kinda scared of finishing the fly logic, because I felt like I bit off way more than I can chew (which I did), but I decided to chomp down hard and this is the product of my labor!
I'll fine tune it later. Right now it's just awesome to see!😎

Pokémon like game where you recreate the best events or a better version of your childhood. A game just for yourself. Or as a gift for a friend, if you put in shared experiences.

The flies behavior is not quite what I want it to be just yet and its projectile is way too hard to see, but wow... I feel like this is slowly starting to become an actual game! Feels great! 💪

Today's been rather slow. I'm trying to implement an interesting enemy, which turns out to be surprisingly complex. I'll get it done either way, just wanted to share the progress along the way.
