System breakdowns, interaction, score and round time are now all in the #Godot version of Panic Spiral!

From playtest feedback, the player now has a warning before a system breaks down, so you might be able to reach the problem quickly and fix it before it gets worse.

It’s such a great show! Enjoy! :D

We had an interesting visitor to our holiday caravan. I never expected to see a mantis in the wild

I’m excited to share the little reactive programming library I built for #csharp and #godot, although it will work in any c# project.

This will guarantee deterministic execution and defer mutations when executing bindings to guard against reentrancy issues.

Panic Spiral progress is on haitus while I have a family holiday in the south of France.

Gamedev updates will resume in a couple of weeks!

Moving Panic Spiral into Godot is going well!

The framework for systems is in. Based on feedback, I've added a breakdown phase, so the player has some warning before the system completely shuts down. Triggered by console commands for now, but working properly soon!

I happened across your unit test package a while ago and quickly started using AutoInject and GodotEnv alongside it.

I’ve really appreciated how well documented everything is, as well as the quality of life improvements.

I cannot stress how easy this package makes state management for me. I built my own state machines in PixiJS and was dreading it a bit in Godot. But no more.

Chickensoft have so many other fantastic tools available too. Most of it is for C#, and it makes the Godot dev experience so pleasant.

💡 LogicBlocks Introduction to logic blocks.

Started moving Panic Spiral into #godot this week. I learned loads building the prototype in PixiJS. It makes me incredibly grateful how much just *exists* in Godot.

I decided to try Chickensoft's LogicBlocks for state management. And it makes it so straightforward and elegant.

I built a playtest version of Panic Spiral and deployed it.

I've had great feedback from an indie dev discord - good core game loop, needs polish! So I'm porting it to Godot and will make a full version to release on Steam.

Comment if you want the playtest link.

I once opted to just take a fridge home myself instead of getting it delivered. Forgetting that I lived in an apartment on the top floor of a building with no lift. Fortunately a neighbour helped me carry it upstairs... not sure what I'd have done otherwise!

Panic Spiral is beginning to feel like an actual game now rather than just a collection of mechanics. This week I've added game rounds, ship and player health, along with two systems which reduce health when they're broken.

Here we see an example round of Panic Spiral!

I didn't manage to get much done on Panic Spiral this last week, but I have added a score counter.

In Panic Spiral, the score increases every second, until the engine breaks! Then you'll need to run over to the engine room and fix it.

I know exactly what you mean just by that description. I guess we could call it a car “playmat” if we wanted to differentiate.

Time for a short demonstration of how Panic Spiral's progressing!

Today's devlog features a few short videos displaying how Panic Spiral looks today. I've also included some comments on what's happening, and the reasoning behind my design choices.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixijs

There's still a lot of polishing to do, and some more mechanics to add, but Panic Spiral is actually beginning to feel like a game rather than just a bunch of objects rendered on the screen.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixijs

I created the in-game map of the spaceship where Panic Spiral takes place.

Today's devlog explains how I built a simple tile grid from scratch and takes a look at how I hope my initial map design will interact with the gameplay to make things interesting for the player.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixijs

I know it defeats the purpose of doing it without outside help, but I could fire up ACNH so you can grab the fruits you need if you want?

There’s something exciting about playing BG3 knowing that a single mistake could cost you the run… but if you play well, you can come back from making nearly any mistake and that feels epic.

Panic Spiral, like many other games, needs collision logic. Unfortunately, PixiJS doesn't include collision boxes as standard, so I've had to implement the logic myself.

Today's devlog is all about how I added my own collision logic that works for Panic Spiral's scale.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixijs

I'm digging the hippie look! And it's awesome that you've found a playstyle that suits you.

With the new expansion dropping soon, maybe I should get back into GW2 too.

What character did you make this time?

I had a lot on this week so didn't do much game dev. My main accomplishment is implementing collision boxes for Panic Spiral.

Collision logic doesn't come as standard in PixiJS. It's amazing what little things I've started to miss from Godot.

Here's a little tech demo!

From the MarvelSnap community on Reddit: Would you play Snap as a roguelike? I'm an indie dev working on a game that's like Snap meets Balatro, where you're a hacker trying to take down shady MegaCorp... Explore this post and more from the MarvelSnap community

A few months ago I joined a discord server for game devs who wanted to help motivate each other and keep ourselves accountable with weekly updates.

One of those devs is now making games professionally and the studio’s first game has been announced. It’s a roguelike deckbuilder. Show it some love!

I tend to take my Deck any time I’m staying overnight. It’s just so convenient and doesn’t weigh too much.

I ran into significant technical issues while adding character movement to Panic Spiral.

There was inconsistent jumping around the screen rather than walking smoothly, and the animation often failed to change.

Pixi-React was the cause, so I had to do a major rewrite.

One of the most important parts of any software project is making the foundations strong. In this post, I explain how I've set up important systems that will make my life easier later.

It's a technical one, but that's often the nature of things at the start of a project.
