Still very ugly and janky, but it is taking shape,
man this is soooo much manual work...

Steady Progress,
All player systems are working, besides windup kinda wonky lol.
Now I can kinda start working on the visuals and tweak stats.

Reworking an old prototype,
fully reworked bullet system,
has no fancy gimmicks yet, I'll add the weapon-building function next.

I joined a game jam, and I honestly couldn't be bothered to make a proper level editor.
So I decided to little drawings to generate the levels.

Tbf people just do vibes now, not many follow rules tbh.
But I know a lot of people like to use this site for references, tech used to be beautiful...

Like, I even want to go so far and have the score counter just be a a piple of gold coins that can grow past the screen border

Still not sure what artstyle to do tbh, i kind of want it to look like those cereal box games you had in the early 2000s lol

If you are bad at sprite work, just compensate with some programming thingamajig.

Toby they found the Wachifield art

btw im not dropping Oathbound, I just need a little break from it, I'm just not in the mood to play lol for a week ykwim.

Doesn't sit right with me to leave it unfinished

Took a bit of time, but the word puzzle bit is mechanically finished,
next step is to give it some proper visuals.
I also decided to add QOL features now, because, honestly, it would be annoying to add them later lol.

Salvaged an old prototype, not sure if people want a fully functional version.
If enough people want one, I can easily fix the bugs in a day.

tbh the most frustrating part of making a game for me, is art and music, due to being in EE I'm a very competent programmer and systems architect, but games are far more than just software that needs to run, and the arts in general are my weak point.

Still not 100% sure how to direct the game's art style, but, thankfully people will be somewhat forgiving with early iterations, after all the game will be free lol.

After that I learned that you can do actual 3d in Game maker and decided to slowly recreate an old project I made in godot.
And now we are here, in the middle of me developing Oathbound.

Mind you, I wasn't aware that game maker had actual proper 3d at that time, so I started to recreate a rendering solution similar to DOOMs.

I had an entire section that was meant to be this room leading into a first person section.

A surprising amount of the first chapter was already finished, but, to be honest, with the whole shayy thing and somehow getting entangled in needless drama I needed a break from the UT/DR community.

Mind you, some may call it a "schizo tier kino" project, at least, that's what some people told me on image boards.

Some of you may not know this, but this entire game was birthed from an Undertale/Yume 2kki fan project I was working on,
below is one of the critters I made for it,
a Flumple.

I made a select list of enemies that I believe are interesting for testing and should give you guys a good idea of the combat

The code is cleaned up and properly labeled,
I activated some experimental stuff, dodging, turbo mode, snappier input reading, weird melee hit detection system, etc.
By the end of the week, the public combat test arena will be ready.
