FRACTiLE games

Added minor evasive movements to all smaller enemies when getting hit. Just a little bit of self-preservation makes them look much more natural.

Yesterday I worked a bit on my website for a change: Phobos Down high score tables can now be viewed on the game's web page.

I just realized that this game run also unlocked the new "container guardian" achievement for not losing a single container.

I accidentally made a new top high score in my own game. This game run turned into a proper bullet hell in the end.

I added a small progress bar on the previously black screen shown when pre-compiling shaders. And fixed that zoom animation playing hidden during the pre-compilation phase. Recorded on Steam Deck where this phase takes the longest time.

I added this tiny arrow indicator around the player. It guides the player towards extraction zone at mission end and to nearest healing device when badly hurt. This replaces the blinking healing device indicators at screen edges.

This is good to hear because I'm tempted to give it a go. I loved the first Doom remake but Doom Eternal was unplayable for me.

I added 11 Steam achievements in Phobos Down. I might add more later but this is enough for now.

#screenshotsaturday #lowpoly #indiegame #gamedev #godotengine

Behold! The first ever achievement unlocked in Phobos Down.

#gamedev #godotengine

Trying to decide the limits for game run count based achievements feels pointless when so far very few people have completed even a single run 😅

#gamedev #solodev

Very nice. Is this done in shader?

The first two images are alternative mockups for "HUD" kill score indicators at the top of the screen before implementation. The last two show how it turned out after many iterations.

I have seen this video but eventually ended up with a bit different solution. I'm faking it all instead of using real IK.

And finally, these new notifications now appear whenever a new high score rank has been reached during the mission.

#screenshotsaturday #lowpoly #indiegame #gamedev #godotengine

These completely new kill streak indicators now show up after two fast enough consecutive kills. Here you can see that skull icon that I showed earlier this week.

I've been making many small improvements to emphasize the high score shooter aspect of Phobos Down. First of all, some added "juice" to the score and equipment level indicators at the top of the screen.

#screenshotsaturday #lowpoly #indiegame #gamedev #godotengine

I made this in #inkscape for Phobos Down. Guess what's it going to be used for in the game!

You will see it in my next #screenshotsaturday post.

Here's some fresh gameplay video from the latest Phobos Down beta version.
