I finally got my combat system all worked out for my game. Animations are janky(see the snapping), but that is what I like to call a "future me problem"™️

But AI is in a working and mostly complete state, I'm excited to move on to some other things now.

The start of the project vs now

I'm mostly just confused, I'm not even sure what they are trying to say in that statement. But still, I agree with your logic. Most people know ai is despised, so they are gonna downplay it as much as possible.

Pro Tip: when making your Indie Game, make it slightly worse than mine so I don't feel bad about myself!

This is the most important rule. Memorize it.

I'm confused, the steam page says ai was used for dialogue, but also the va's were compensated???

"Even the haters can't put it down" <- can't ask for a better review tbh 😁

I love that after leaving the review, they went back and played the game more. That should be part of the promotion. "Even the haters can't put it down"

OMG that monitor.

Little bit of collision issues, but my bad guys can attack! Whoo!

Lol "we've been trying to reach you about your cars extended warranty"

Feels so good being back to working on my enemy AI, I miss everything breaking at the slightest code change.

dear game devs
will it really crash the market if you make your game open at 50% volume instead of ear blasting max volume?

THIS, should be more common than the brightness settings

Welcome to v4 of the Blue Sky Game Dev orientation 🧵!

Let's get you started with the basics of Bluesky, finding other devs, and posting about your games!

Btw, this is based on the artist orientation thread from @purlane.ink; make sure to check it out if you’re also on the art side of game dev!

Like others have said, its a dream. You hold on to the idea that maybe, just maybe your game will make it.

But also keep in mind that a lot of raw statistics don't paint the right picture. Its not random luck that makes a game succeed, but years of skill and hard work...and some luck.

That's my thought, since I didn't fix it, will it just come back later?

Literally fixed itself. No idea what did it.

that character looks so badass in the chair.

No joke, doors are hard!

Not yet. Decided to take a break until tomorrow.

Okay, had a few bugs, but no worries. A simple pursue script to move toward the player when an enemy sees you shouldn't be any problem! Yay Navmesh!

Spawning enemies works. I checked.
Despawning enemies does NOT work. I checked.

#indiegamedev

Nice smash animation!

Remember, you don't need AAA money to make a game like the oblivion remaster. If I can do it, anyone can!

Midweek dev limbo.
Too tired to build, too stubborn to rest.
Might just open the engine and stare at particles for a bit.

I know, I know. It's just an elevator, but it was fun to make! Moving parts are always a challenge.

Loving that fog though
