Rather chaotic update:
Probably won't be an RPG, but might have elements of one.

Exploring lots of ideas for interesting gameplay and world!

This is supposed to become an RPG, got a bit sidetracked...👍
#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

I've implemented wave based combat and extended the scripting (more like event) system. It can trigger combat, create teleporters and turn them on/off when combat starts and ends.

It's surprisingly easy to use for how powerful it is.

(Ignore the slimes...)

A game of this style needs basic scripting as well, no doubt!
Might even add cutscenes later, but I'm not sure. Maybe if I expand this "scripting" system.

I'm playing SNES and calling it research!
Naturally, I need to make my own SNES type game now... alongside all the other games.

This is my last side project, I swear!

#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

Still working on my main game, but I remembered a fever dream I had many years ago and felt inspired.
Might become my side project!

#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

I've been working on more enemy sprites but since art is my biggest weakness it's been quite a struggle.
This is the result of a lot of iteration and frustration and I'm not happy with it, BUT it's still something!
The struggle is part of the process!

#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

Chaos and disorganization (is that a word?) are fantastic breeding grounds for creativity! Keep going!

Crow murder... I can't come up with a good one, but I feel like there's a pun to be made here!

I have to say, Chaotic Games is a fantastic name for a studio!

Turns out the old upgrade system doesn't work. I'm currently rewriting it, which is mostly backend work.
I don't have much to show, but check this out!

Oh yeah, btw: Use Godots build in UI controls. They are really good! Don't try to roll your own, lmao.

No armor needed. He's perfect!

10 things to think about :) Come see us at @ThoughtBubbleuk.bsky.social COMIC FESTIVAL on 15th - 16th NOVEMBER! We’ll have the FINAL COPIES of the original print run of our TUTORIALS BOOKS, plus COMICS GALORE!

This is what you see when a character in a movie or TV show is acting like they are playing a video game.

Looks awesome!

Done with the prototype upgrade screen. I'm only going to show 3 revolver upgrades, though. I will not spoil the final revolver upgrade or any of the other weapon upgrades.
Those will remain a mystery for ya'll to unlock later!

#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

I've been really struggling to come up with a good looking and well functioning upgrade screen.
So now I've decided to just come up with a concept today, make it work tomorrow and look good later.
I'm posting this to tell my perfectionism to go fuck itself.

#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

Hell yeah!

Alright, I couldn't help myself... I had to add a double barrel shotgun!

#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

Very good point. I think this is as far as I'll go with it. I might even make it hide faster.
I'm trying to add variety without adding too many enemies, so I can get this game done... lol.

I'm trying to make combat a system the player can master through understanding and practice.

Got distracted by an idea for enemy health bars. They disappear after the enemy has not been hit for at least 6 seconds.
I feel like adding this information component to the combat could make it more interesting.

#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

I'm working on the upgrade system and realized that it's going to take a while.
In the meantime enjoy this footage of the result of me implementing the gold sucking radius.
Feels a lot better than having to pick up each individual bar. That's for sure. 💰

#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

I've decided to add reloading again, after all. I feel like it adds tension to the combat. It's quick 'n painless, especially with upgrades! Which I'm going to work on next.

Weapon spinning is still in the game, BUT it will be up to ya'll to find out where! 😎
#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

Feeling a bit bored implementing combat, BUT I came up with a new enemy anyway. Still not sure how to balance the bug/lizard aesthetic, but that's a job for future me.
Might work on upgrades next, have some variety - the spice of game dev!

#Gamedev #Indiedev #Godot #GodotEngine

I also gave this guy an attack, check this out:

#Gamedev #Indiedev #GameDevelopment #Godot

I have added yet another enemy! Graphics are a bit rough, because I want to focus on getting the combat system done, so I can balance it.
Combat is the highest priority task right now and I gotta resist feature creeeep...!
Also: changed animations!

#Gamedev #Indiedev #GameDevelopment #Godot

I gave bullets a fixed life time, increased bullet damage and BOOM: combat is a lot more interesting already. Just because of these two changes!
Now I gotta find a way to reward aggressive players with loot.
Firing speed can be upgraded later with gold!

#Gamedev #Godot #IndieDev #StrangeGames

I have created a rather rough sketch of a new enemy. You can shoot its legs off, no problem. It's quite resilient!

Side note: I never expected how much work animation would be... wow! It's intense but also quite enjoyable and rewarding. I like it!

#Gamedev #Godot #Godot4.5 #Indiedev

YouTube video by UncertainFish One enemy done!

I got way too ambitious again, and I followed through again! Took me like 10 tries to get to this and these aren't even the final graphics, but I'm pretty proud of this. I have no idea what I'm doing, I'm just doing it, lol.

I'm going to tackle combat next, so I'm going to need enemies. I feel like I'm way out of my depth doing animation, but so far it's been quite rewarding!
He's still missing his combat behavior and animations, but check this guy out!

Nintendo DS aesthetic. Low poly, crunchy, chill. You grow your own tea plant over multiple weeks, like Nintendogs. Then you have to setup your own ceremonial process, you choose the actions, music, etc.
Then you drink it and the game starts over.
