What do you do when you think your game is going to be popular on Steam Deck? Add (proper) controller support. 🫠
I have a new appreciation for the effort needed to make both keyboard/mouse and a controller each first class citizens.

Just released update 0.7.5.0 to my game, Twin Gods.

Mundane stuff like Steam Cloud support but also new content. Working on a tower defense minigame for the next update. 👀
I can always use new testers. Contact me for a key.

I like it, but man it took a long time to get to this. Comments on the font appreciated. Believe it or not I'm still on the fence. 😅
First trailer now almost done.

The problem making a game as a coder: tinkering.
I'm working on a trailer for #twingods and now picky about everything. So I changed an effect but it had an obvious problem.
The first screenshot is the original. Second is the same effect but in SCREEN SPACE! 😍

Just posted an update for Twin Gods on Steam. Mostly bug fixes but it also includes two new levels.
I kinda embraced the absurdity in this one.

Ran a perf test on Twin Gods' engine (which I've named Hauntlet).
Short clip of loading into a 1,000x1,000 tile map and spawning 10,000 objects, all of which are interactive. FPS plummets to 60 but I'm still kinda impressed. This is well outside my perf target.

Interesting to see levels as they go through dev. This started out rather tall (the abandoned one was looking for in the other post). Reworked into a new one, then split it into smaller ones.
Work on your tools, people! This would have been such a pain to edit in the past.

Went through Twin Gods' repo to find an abandoned level to see if I can rework it into something new. Found an old version of a level. (These screenshots include editor widgets.) New one is the smaller, more gray one.

Been working solo on a JRPG for last few years. Looking for testers (unpaid) as I ready for Early Access. If interested, send a DM and I'll send a key.
Current version is 4-6 hours, about 50% total planned. (Some content cut for playtest.)

Twin Gods' game engine, dubbed Hauntlet, is entirely custom, written in C++ using OpenGL. All game data is plain text, making it very moddable. The editor suite includes a custom level editor. (UI is also custom, which I do not recommend anyone do. 😅)
