After a hiatus for the holidays, I'm back to working on Ashbound and posting weekly devlog updates! This week I worked on incorporating a skill tree!

Growing up it was always Mario saving Peach, Link saving Zelda- I never related to these heteronormative storylines. #queer representation in video games is definitely growing, (e.g. #TheLastOfUs and #LifeIsStrange) but there should be more. This motivates me as a #gamedev. What motivates you?

This week I worked on Elliot's diary. Throughout the game Owen will find torn out pages of Elliot's diary, which will help depict their relationship and love for each other. ๐Ÿณ๏ธโ€๐ŸŒˆ

This week I continued working on game combat. I worked on improving the animations and responses (see video). I also worked on the HUD a bit (top left corner) because I decided to implement an XP mechanism to unlock new skills. #gaymer #gamedev #indiedev

This week I have been very busy with the end of the semester. For Ashbound, I tried to do some file reorganization. I also worked on level 3 which introduces shadow enemies (see below). As always follow me for regular updates! #queer #gamedev #gaymer #indiedev

Didn't post my last weekly devlog update because I was participating in Godot Wild Jam #87. I placed 96th out of 128 overall. So not too great but I'm just proud of myself for getting something in by the deadline! Looking forward to Jam #88! #gamedev #godot #hobby #gaymer #indiegame

I want Ashbound to include a mix of boss fight, hazard avoidance, and puzzle levels. This week I worked on what a potential puzzle level might look like. How would you solve this puzzle and open the gate? Is it too easy? Too hard? Let me know what you think! #GameDev #gaymer #godot #indiegame
