Coming soon: an itsy bitsy fishy that lives on your desktop! It doesn't do anything aside from eat and look cute. ๐Ÿ ๐Ÿซง Want to try it already? (Windows/Mac/Linux demo) DM me.

P.S. I'm also working on a youtube tutorial to make this game on Godot!

I'm so grateful for every single one of you. Especially moved by those who gave a tip. Means a lot to me as a solo gamedev. ๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿ’• My plan is to keep expanding the game and very slowly raise the price along the way, but all buyers still get updates, so early supporters get the most value out of my game.

As our work attests, tech cos like OpenAI are setting us on a path to a future that disenfranchises the public, renders systems more obscure to those it affects, devalues our crafts, undermines our security, and narrows our horizon for innovation. This is true whether or not the tech even works well

P.S. I initially tried using the built-in bounce transition for tweening. But I ended up tweening each up and down motion manually so that I could play each bounce sound individually to precisely sync with each bounce.

How I animated the tennis balls in #godot - all tweens! Here's part of my garbage spaghetti code ๐Ÿคญ Lots of position checks to make the ball bounce away from window edges. Bounce sound is played each time the ball "lands". Rotation is slowed after each bounce.

I downloaded this so fast! I reported a bug in the Godot github for the first time a few weeks ago, and the fix is out in this version. As a novice coder I know I can't contribute anything to the Godot codebase, but I'm so happy I got to help out a little bit as a bug tester <3 @godotengine.org

How I implemented the magic 8 ball in #godot - It was initially ridiculously large so that I could fit the pixel font for "YES" and "NO". So I put that text on a separate sprite so I can scale it separately. The highlight is on a separate sprite so it doesn't rotate along w/ the ball while rolling.

How I implemented the yarnball in #godot - The string is on a separate spritesheet, aligned with the ball spritesheet. The sprite frames have to be large enough so I can flip both ball and yarn animations horizontally while keeping the ball in the center.

How I implemented clothing in #godot - Each clothing item has a spritesheet image perfectly aligned w/ the kitten's spritesheet. Clothing can be changed by swapping the spritesheet texture. Each time the kitten's animation frame is changed, the clothing animation frame is changed.
