due to my current dire financial situation, i am (unfortunately) back on twitter to try to get myself out there more... the discoverability is just better than here unfortunately. ill still be crossposting everything to both twitter and bluesky though, and will be checking here much more frequently

Halloween weekend is over and I already miss being Harrow ;-; I need to find another excuse to dress up again soon…

The Reverend Daughter, HARROWHARK NONAGESIMUS

I think I must’ve applied to a sketchy job application or something because since the summer I get multiple per day consistently

Thanks to everyone who came by to break our game at @rocgamefest.bsky.social!

We'll even have merch!

Free shirt to whoever has the #1 time on the leaderboard at the end of the day.

All proceeds go to the development of a shorter game with worse graphics.

Hey we're at Roc Game Fest @rocgamefest.bsky.social this year! Come swing by!

Tomorrow 11am-5pm at THE SHED at RIT.

No way

Just me and desmos online graphing calculator against the world

We also have a first pass at saving data in the works. If all goes according to plan, we’ll be able to have our teammates generating smooth geometry in their test scenes real soon!

Project Rope Tool Devlog #14

A few small level editor improvements today! Added basic zooming and panning, as well as the ability to draw lines with multiple points (you just press Enter when you want to finish, or connect to the first point to make a polygon)

Holy shit, another spaceship part attachment game?? Let’s be friends???

In the words of Nelson Mandela: it always seems impossible until it’s done.

My friends, it is done. And you are the ones who did it.

I am honored to be your Democratic nominee for the Mayor of New York City.

Thank you valve for the name gib by the way it's a very handy term for what we're doing lol

By splitting the two components in this way, we can have attachables that aren’t necessarily associated with the player. My plan is to have enemies control gibs through their state machines before dropping them, so the whole process is seamless.

I actually split the ship attachment script into two smaller components. The first is “Gib”, and handles the physics logic of welding one rigidbody to a parent, as well as the various states of attachment. The second is “Part”, and handles interactions with the player.

Figuring out how you would control a variety of different attachments is another problem, but the groundwork for doing so is here!

Another modular design showcase for you all! You can now add the ship attachment functionality to any physics object in the game.

Project Rope Tool Devlog #12

As I mentioned last time, I’ve been doing a study on modular system design recently and wanted to show off a quick example of the type of versatility that I’m building towards… so here: grappling hook on a mining droid!

#gamedev #indiedev

that pose is so expressive!

Project Rope Tool is an ACTION-PHYSICS-SANDBOX game, where you build and pilot a spaceship using a grappling hook. Scavenge scrap tech from your environment, and use it for movement and combat! Hijinks ensue.

The production value of Deltarune CH3 is a HUGE step up from the previous two imo!!! I was so engaged with the variety in both the visual styles and mini games
