Generic Bird Game by moizlyc A Flappy Bird inspired game, with classic Game Boy vibes

Generic Bird Game is officially online!

I’ve just added new items, a parallax background effect, and unique sprites for every power-up. Give it a play and let me know what you think: moizlyc.itch.io/generic-bird...

Just polished the Game Over screen for my Generic Bird Game in Godot. Now, every time it dies, it lets out a fart with a randomized pitch. It is the little details that keep development fun 💨

Showcasing the new shrink power-up! Not only does it make you smaller, but it also reduces your weight, making jumps feel much lighter and more responsive.

I'm not quite sold on the current sprite design for the power-up though. Any ideas?

Thanks! Won’t happen. Until you exit the pipe, you’re still invulnerable. Plus, you gain immunity for half a second when you take or lose a power-up.

Many of them change the physics, so you won’t be punished for that!

Just implemented the Ghost power-up. For a few seconds, you become invulnerable and can pass through pipes, though you'll slow down slightly while inside them.

Progress feels great 👻

Yeah, plus, as you can see from the video, I gave the bird a short but vital immunity window. Since the physics change requires players to recalibrate their input logic, small mistakes in those first microseconds shouldn't be punished.

Instead, this creates a real sense of increased precision, and the feedback you get is just incredibly satisfying haha

It’s a mix of things: I set the engine speed to 0.7, but I also tuned the gravity, flap strength, and max velocity during the slow-mo; otherwise, it would have felt sluggish, like you said 😉

The second power-up for Generic Bird Game: Focus Pills! 💊

Picking these up slows down time and makes your flight more precise for a few seconds.

Omg they’re all perfect

Adding the first power-ups to Generic Bird Game!

First up: the Heart. It grants a second chance if you hit a pipe or crash into the ground, keeping the run alive just a little longer.

Btw, I'm using Pixquare for the graphics.
It's essentially Aseprite, but fully functional on iPad and iPhone.
Highly recommended!

Using my first project to experiment and learn!
I'm making a "flappy-like", featuring a bird from my webcomic, "Uccello Generico" ("Generic Bird") 😄

The goal is to master Godot, while adding twists like power-ups.
Here is a preview!

Midna in progress!

At the moment I’m looking for something very easy, otherwise I’d feel overwhelmed by everything I’m learning 😅
I tried Bosca Ceoil, and another user suggested Deflemask. Both are free and run on macOS, which is required for me.

Wow, it looks cool and easy to use. I’ll definitely give it a try! I just tried Bosca Ceoil Blue and it’s very cool too.

For FX, I found GodotSfxr and jsfxr online. jsfxr is very useful; I still need to test the plugin, which is basically the same but integrated in Godot.

I’m looking for software to create music and simple SFX that share the same "intuitive tool" vibes as Aseprite.

I need something straightforward for my Godot project. Any recommendations for low-bit or chiptune-friendly editors?

Current tech stack: Godot for the engine, Aseprite for pixel art, and my trusty old MacBook.

What are your thoughts on using VSCode as an IDE for Godot?

#GodotEngine #IndieDev #GameDev #BuildInPublic

Thank you!! 🐒

Thanks for the hints! I’m actively studying Godot, but I’m also giving a look at GameMaker, since my first project will be 2D. Any suggestions? I’m not totally unfamiliar with coding, but I’m not an expert either.

I’m starting my indie game developer journey. Wish me luck, but above all, wish me consistency.

What’s yours, @nintendousa.bsky.social ?

I genuinely thought this post was about a Magic: The Gathering expansion themed around Avatar.

I hope new Megas become a standard from now on, much like regional forms. Every new generation or mainline game should introduce a few.

It is the perfect cross-generational gimmick and would significantly boost interest in VGC.

Glad we’re finally saying goodbye to the Scarlet and Violet era this year. However, based on the Gen 10 leaks I’ve seen so far, I can’t say I’m exactly thrilled about what’s coming next.

Hope the final product proves me wrong!

I was really looking forward to playing this game, but I can't tolerate that kind of work environment based on my own personal experience. I won't be supporting Naughty Dog in any way.
