New feature - a small parry window while downed to save the situation.

I love stuff like this.

There's something very satisfying about writing visualizers for algorithms.

Forgotten return value -> undefined behaviour -> comedy

This showed up today. There goes my productivity for the evening.

Parry and hit to send back projectiles. This feels good, but it's a bit lack luster in presentation. Maybe just a bright line along the trajectory instead of a dotted line?

Since I'm deeply consumed by writing map logic right now, I decided to write a longer article about the map system itself in Crow's Curse over at IndieDB

Fast travel deluxe.

Now I just need to make sure you can't abuse it by leaving every tougher fight instantly. Weighing between a timed solution ("stand still for X seconds before travelling") or a "blocked while fighting" solution. Suggestions?

Should maybe even help cut down on unnecessary backtracking!

"It would be cool if you could see the entire world layout in the map. How hard can it be?" #indiegame #gamedev #CrowsCurse

Help me out here. Trying to send a signed copy of Cathedral, from Sweden, to a fan in the US.

Postal service here has stopped sending to the US. Checked UPS: $35 in shipping, but nothing on customs.

Found a hand-wavy "$80-$200 per item based on COO". Really hoping that's wrong. But.. I guess not?

I tried kitchen tongs without luck. A vacuum finally solved the problem 🥲

I have a toddler at home, so tonight's project is trying to extract a toy motorcycle through the port of a loudspeaker.

A Swedish newspaper actually wrote "Vindaloo Island". I thought "surely that can't be right". I checked a few minutes later and then they had switched back 🥲

We're happy and honored to have Crow's Curse competing in the DevGAMM awards! 🏆

Wow. That image was wildly low-quality. I guess I screwed something up during upload. Here's a full res one.

Thank you! I'm using egui.

What started out as me learning #rustlang ended up being the entire editor for levels, AI and more for Crow's Curse (and hopefully future games). I'm quite proud of this editor tbh. #gamedev

Ah. The humble beginnings of an AI tree for a boss.

And just like that, we have an official Discord! If you've played @Cathedral8bit or are curious about our next game Cathedral: Crow's Curse, come say hi:

Finally! I have wanted to share this for so long! Now I can start posting some fun dev-posts around this too!

Well. This bug cost me several hours of my life.

I usually keep my PRs small. Usually.
