Interesting situation.
I released a game in 2017 called
"Vzerthos: The Heir of Thunder"
Someone calls their game in 2025
"Varthos - Heir to the Throne"

A funny coincidence (?) It was "Heir to the Throne", "Varthos" was added 20 days ago. (according to SteamDB)

I made a first-person turn-based dungeon crawler with pixel art graphics and a sci-fi setting for a jam on Itch.io:

Look at this @dungeoncrawlers.org

#GameMaker #pixelart #dungeoncrawler #3d #gamejam #indiedev #indiegame

Wow! Nice jam and so many cool games!
I'm surprised that I got 330th place of over 9500 games in one of the categories! Cool! My lowest place in another category is about 4000, which is also good for me.

#GameMaker #2d #gamejam #indiedev #GMTKJam

I made a game for #GMTKJam. Call it Moto-Looper.
Drive a motorcycle, make loops and collect your balls!
You can play in the browser! Or download for Windows and play.

Wow! I am very impressed with this room editor! It looks quite nice and easy to use!

The Jam has ended! There were a lot of good games. And my Tutoretta took 10th place! Yay!
I updated the game by fixing bugs, adding improvements and PAPER graphics!
Tutoretta is prototype for #Drawngeon2!

Here's quite a bit of gameplay of Paper Tutoretta (Post Jam version). You can play it now!

Almost ended the game for #dcjam2025.

Also, I keep thinking of trying to make an “HD” version with paper drawn textures.

#dungeoncrawler #gamemaker #pixelart

Still making a game for #dcjam2025.
I don't have enough free time, so I'm going to try to meet an even tighter deadline!

I'm once again failing to make an interesting fight.

Should I keep these graphics or try to have time to draw non-pixelated ones?

#dungeoncrawler #gamemaker #pixelart

I'm going to try to make a game for #dcjam2025
I will use "programmers art" for this time.
But sometimes I get carried away and start drawing pixel by pixel.
I named her Tutoretta.

#pixelart #aseprite

Pixelarted a mockup in 1bit style (I guess). Fantasy and digital world.

Thank you!

Thank you! I really like the pixel art style in 3d with these mechanics!

Number 10. Portal. DONE!
Finally completed the Godortal game! It was very difficult and took about a month to complete. Still a lot of bugs.
The video is a walkthrough of one level, there are 4 in total.
Check it out: darkdes.itch.io/godortal-game

@matesrsen.bsky.social‬ assumption is correct. It's on Godot. And I have to admit, it's all been a challenge and a pain. The portals still don't work correctly.

Still working on the game-10 Portal. Decided to make a 3d model for a character seen through portals. I based it on a capsule. I accidentally made Amongus. I made an animation for him. Work in progress.

#godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Check out what an atmospheric project my friends have released!

The button activates the ‘dispenser’ of cubes. There should be a cube dissolving effect here, like in the original game. So, the cube presses the button and immediately ‘dissolves’ and a new cube is created in the dispenser. (actually there is only one cube here that is teleported)

Accidentally created a puzzle with an infinite loop
#godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Random #frog pixel art practice.

#pixelart #aseprite

But I'm starting at the beginning of the clip. And yes, this animation has a ‘nested’ animation (you can see at the bottom in the video). I gave up that problem a long time ago and made a code call. Thanks anyway!

My 3d Portal Gun for Game number 10 from #20_games_challenge
#lowpoly #pixelart #blender #aseprite

Honestly, I don't know how it works or why it works with mouse dragging but not with the play button. Anyway I decided to play the second animation in the code with the Play function of another animator.

Portal effect in portal. Since my previous posts about the portal, I broke portal teleportation. Well, at least I added basic portal placement!
#godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Well... okay, #Godot

Portals for game number 10. The final game.
I don't know why, but the code in _physics_process triggered twice. And I had to make a very ugly moment with the flag that skips one frame after teleportation. However, it almost works as it should!

#godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

I figured out what the problem was. It was my mistake that I multiplied Transform * Velocity, although it should have been Basis * Velocity, otherwise it turned out that I also ‘shift’ the velocity vector and from this the cubes flew sideways instead of strictly upwards. Thanks!

Testing physics portals for game number 10. The final game.
It's not easy, it doesn't work right. I've been messing around with transformations for a long time.
#godotengine #20_games_challenge #indiedev #gamedev

Ahahaha, yeah, I was thinking maybe make a longer animation where he flies back and forth and slowly falls to the floor

Thank you! Of course, I used some of my old codes. But they had to be customised for this project.
