Spent the first hour of Christmas doing silly arts and crafts in my basement. I love my life!!! Hope everyone out there has a wonderful day :))

For Nuclear Throne's 10th birthday I added The Vlambeer Sawblade™ to the action game I'm working on (@TETHERPUNK.bsky.social) while my friend streamed the new update

It bounces off the wall directly back into the turret that fired it so it's basically already perfect

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! After 2+ years of development and a long, arduous, white-knuckled, tournament-style, no holds barred decision making process — Project Rope Tool has officially been renamed to TETHERPUNK! Likes and reposts greatly appreciated to help spread the word :)

Project Rope Tool Devlog #13

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!

Project Rope Tool Devlog #11

Yeah… it’s been a while since my last log. The reason is because I’ve been in a giant rabbit hole. One of my biggest concerns about the project has been scalability. As it stands, it's not very easy to create and test new objects and levels quickly.

#gamedev #indiedev

Rope Tool Devlog #10

Both halves of my level editor design are now working together! You start by drawing an area as your “canvas” and then you cut into it with the nodeshapes!

#gamedev #indiedev

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.

Wishlist on Steam! 🚀

Goodbye, wind tunnel that cut through the entire level, I will see you in another life... #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

A grappling hook makes every game better. That’s just scientific fact. But what if you attached a grappling hook to a spaceship? That’s Project Rope Tool (@ropetool.bsky.social).

Swing through a zero gravity environment and watch out for those drones!

Project Rope Tool Devlog #9

Concept sketch for what I want the game’s environment art to look/feel like! Still playing with saturation and value but I’m happy with what I have so far

#indiedev #gamedev

Project Rope Tool Devlog #8

Took the game to the BrookLAN playtest for the second month in a row! I was finallyyy able to show off the new lower resolution graphics that I have been working on since the start of this year. Wooo!!!!

Project Rope Tool Devlog #7

Oh boy these are getting more and more sporadic aren’t they? The latter half of last week I did a few lighting/environment tests and followed it up with a bit of much needed code reorganization. Nothing new to show just yet!
