Added a dedicated shop area that players get transported to in between every other level, so they don't have to constantly exit out to the hub world to get upgrades.

(also added a stats screen and juiced up the elevator transition)

Working on updating and creating a bunch of systems, including Overdrives: equippable abilities to give you a temporary boost of power or utility

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #gamemaker

Short demonstration of the first world of Runner Overdrive: The Cascadia National Communications Hub, complete with elevators and walking guns lmao

Beware the walking gun

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GameMaker

Full playthrough of the entire warehouse/hub area in Runner Overdrive

Obligatory code snippet for what's shown in the gif

Implemented a new system that allows me to easily create menus and character interactions without having to deal with copy/pasting or parenting objects.

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GameMaker

Finally landed on a game name and added the main menu.

Working on the hub world

#gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #GameMaker

First pass on a shop system that features dedicated upgrade types, upsides & drawbacks, and allows me to easily extend it with other functionality in the future

#gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker #pixelart

UI updates and implemented being able to pick up the main objective to be delivered at a later point in the stage

#gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker #pixelart

ripped out boss breaker's dialogue system and completely overhauled it so that I can have text effects using a tag system instead of having to define the start and end indices manually

#gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker #pixelart

got really annoyed with unity, so im back to cool 2d stuff in gamemaker lol

#gamedev #indiedev #GameMaker #pixelart

full look around aiming with grabbed objects + a UI compass for finding the package and other players in your lobby

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

very cool and professional tutorial for dropzone

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

Finally switched to first person and added the ability to peek under grabbed objects

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

replaced the UI notifications & countdown with an in-world alternative

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

minor inconvenience

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

Working on props + environmental art for the first area of the game, which I've decided to be an abandoned research facility of some sort

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender

Finally started on actual game mechanics, and you can now throw whatever item you're holding!

#gamedev #indiedev #Unity #blender
