I'm done with this idle animation for now. I need to move onto other things on my list. I'll definitely come back to it later to improve it. Though that's a never ending job when you're never satisfied. ๐Ÿ˜… I want to get better at this!

Animating takes a very long time for me because I can't stop taking breaks ever 10 minutes. Worked on redoing the player sprites all weekend and barely made progress.

These are the sprite animations for the enemy witch character Narcissa in "aToBaD" I did these last year so I'll probably redo them at some point.

I've been working on settings menus this weekend. It's a nice break from gameplay programming. It felt nostalgic making a cheat code menu and setting up some codes for it.

I made it for playtesting, but who knows, maybe some of those cheats codes will make it to a demo build?

A screenshot from Octopus City blues. In a western-themed town, a cowboy and a person in a horse costume are facing a large and shadowy cowboy. Four other cowboys surround the large one while kneeling.

A screenshot from Octopus City Blues. The main character holds a knife and has their back to the viewer while challenging a clownish looking person with a slot machine on their chest.  At the top right, there are three identical faces representing the main character. A text box is shown with three choices: (the first one is selected)
"- (What do I do?)
- <Observe...>
- <Attack!>"

A screenshot from Octopus City Blues. Six characters are standing a beach littered with green bugs and fortifications. There's a small steam boat on the left side. One of the characters is a beetle dressed in a purple army uniform, lying on their back. Three other beetle "soldiers" wearing a yellow/orange colored uniform, in addition to the main character, surround the one on ground. Finally, a lone beetle soldier in a cape stands apart looking at the looming towers in the reddish horizon.

It's been long since I made a devlog:
Today I wanted to show you a finished zone I've been working on for the Neo Habits demo. ๐Ÿ‘พ
Also, here is an overview of the madness effects and death sequence that you will find in the game.
I'll patch these soon, cheers! ๐Ÿ‘น

When at lvl 3 of ice magic you can charge up and throw an ice spear that does a bit more damage and goes through shields. It has trajectory. Charge longer to throw further, however it depletes your focus.

Itโ€™s not a true NES-era inspired action platformer without a sewer level, right?

Here's how the sewers are looking after the palette swap.

The standing special attack isn't always easy to pull off but it feels nice when you get the full combo.

Seen on r/godot (by u/stergro), this absolutely made my day.

They've made their first game using #GodotEngine for their daughter, using her drawings as levels for a platformer.

I just finished up the first part of the attack combo for this weapon, I'm calling them "Rending Claws". I've been trying to get a good looking fake smear effect for a while and I think I finally got it right here! What do you think? #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #pixelart #GodotEngine
