Terry the Teleboy - Indie Game in Development

KnightGuy visual update. #gamedev #indiedev #teleboy

The lack of a bookmark feature is a real oversite. 😵

Knight Guy - an entertainment bot created to perform at a medieval themed amusement park. Usually docile, after joining the robot rebellion has become a menace to society. #gamedev #indiedev #teleboy

Boss fight now includes new sound effects, hit vfx, a health bar for the boss and a nifty kill animation. I use more of Teleboy's projectile attack (Remote Control) and short range melee attack (Pixel Punch). Certain attacks can link together for more damage! #indiedev #gamedev #bossfight #teleboy

Been making a lot of good programming and VFX progress lately, but since this is a solo dev effort I can feel the burnout setting in. Good time to switch to the artistic side of things with more 3d asset creations (or just practicing 3d art in general).

😢ok....

Ooh this might make a good reference for boss explosions! 😮

Pokemon Stadium's animations are a big inspiration.

As for the jumping, it's more like "launching" since you only need to tap the dpad + launch buttons to get that burst of momentum. It's less about direct control like most platformers and more like manipulating your momentum.

Thanks! I'm sure you can appreciate the art of tiny things fighting big things 😄

Thanks! I'm hoping the mid-air movement options are balanced by having to keep boost mode up (which can be spent to activate a double jump at any time).

It does feel like I'm going crazy seeing people treat yellow paint as an all or nothing solution. I'm getting a sense of frustration with the audience that goes deeper than the paint.

I wouldn't call putting yellow paint on everything interactable crafty.

State machines are up and running so I'm testing out a boss fight ideas using a scaled up regular enemy. Dealing damage quickly is trickier than it looks! #gamedev #terrytheteleboy #indiedev

FINALLY!!!

Stopping everything to properly organize my player code into a finite state machine...I didn't think I would get this far to need it lol

yeah but that was a time when the internet was divided into smaller, tight knit communities that could properly regulate themselves and weren't tasked with providing the entire human population a place to post messages

Some people aren't built for making dozens of tiny disposable nothing projects. As in, if it's not this project that's taking years, it'll be nothing at all. Just a different way of being.

An example of the combo system in Teleboy. String together attacks or enemy kills to increase the score of your individual kills, get bonus points and increase your super move meter. #gamedev #indiedev #teleboy

the presentation is bold and satisfying, love it!

Here's the latest gameplay video I have of the Teleboy prototype, it's finally starting to gain an identity as a megaman/mario/sonic inspired arcade-y platformer. The scoring system is still fairly shallow now but I'd like levels to be very replayable and full of goodies to find. #indiedev #gamedev
