UI is looking fantastic!

After a healthy break, I'm back to building my original Slay the Spire inspired game. This time, I decided to drop the classic branching tree and instead take inspiration from He Is Coming, with boss fights now on a timer based on steps taken. Do you like it? #heiscoming #slaythespire #indiegamedev

Ahaha. Pure comedy.

What a clown fiesto lol.

Now your starting party loads into the first fight. Baby steps.

For my autobattler, I wanted to setup a basic game flow. You now choose from a starting band to initiate your run with. Then, you choose from a node path inspired by Slay the Spire.

The Oddish/Onion is beyond cute! Best one of the whole lot. And is that an Asparagus?  Speargus?

Welcome! Playing Skyrim mods is an epic treat. To the point that it becomes an entirely new game.

First make it work, then make it better!

Do you like Chain Lightning?!?

What a legendary spell concept. I built this by creating a SpellBase class, which can support Modifiers. Now my new spell has a chain modifier, opening the door for wild permutations.

You look stunned!

I'm in Canada! HBU?

Godspeed!

Aww haha, thats a huge compliment :D

Inspired by DotA, I added a "Basic Attack Modifier" class, and my first instance of this was the classic Cleave.

Fear the Chopfang!

Ahhh haha! You rock Elthen, keep up the beautiful work 🥳🫡

Thank you for the support <3

Thank you! I'm a patron of @elthen.bsky.social so it's a bit of a "let's see what we get" situation. He did a lot of frogs in December :D

I discovered behaviour trees and dropped the state machines completely. Coding is an endless struggle of It's Good Enough vs Damn I Got a Badass New Idea

Now I can try to make advanced behaviours like:

- Can I buff my ally?
- Is there a closer enemy near me?

Just can't help myself and want to play with the Autobattler some more. I added a frogger pikeman, and a toadmage which shoots water projectiles. And a poise system, cuz #soulslike

No reason it can't go on PC too :D

I think this kind of game is perfect for mobile. You just manage the pre-battle phase and the post-battle phase, then just sit back and enjoy the chaos!

Thank you! Godot is all platforms, so I would like to have it playable on my phone while I wait for random things, like the elevator.

I couldn't help but experiment with an autobattler concept. A roguelite where you build a band of warriors and overthrow a great tyrant. Something about the chaos of scripted warfare... #godotengine #godot #indiedev

I use Linear.app for my own project management. I find even as a solo dev, somewhere to prioritize my own thoughts is clutch.

Thank you! <3

I'm down! Making my dream game inspired by Slay the Spire.

Isn't it enough to just clean up the listener when the tower "dies"? Then it wouldn't need to handle game over, which would violate single responsibility principle.

Agreed! 0 coupling between components. Fascinating approach.

I had to double back and delete 50% of the code. It was getting buggy and I couldn't progress further. I realized I had a lot of fundamental issues and refactored everything to an EventBus pattern. Project is alive and well...2 steps forward, one step back. #godot #godotengine #indiegame #indiedev
