Problem 18

Next, an asteroids clone. My goofy take on it: a ship of cheese, mice as asteroids, and small humans as extra enemies! Focusing on physics-based movement, screen-wrapping, game juice and particles!

Already got this little guy working in 2/3 hours! 😊

TextureProgressBar padding issues | Problem 18 Step-by-step tutorial on fixing TextureProgressBar filling incorrectly in Godot 4. Learn why sprite padding causes issues and how to properly structure progress bar textures.

Okay, one more post, last one for now, I promise. I made an attempt at creating my very own tutorial for a particular issue I had with the TextureProgressBar in @godotengine.org.

Struggling as well? Perhaps I can help. 😊

I need to go (again!) by Problem 18 You really need to go, gotta avoid some cars, bikes and people glued to their phones first!

"I need to go" has been remade! A new logo, remade art, and balanced gameplay! Get to the bathroom quickly before time runs out, but look out for the incoming traffic and pedestrians! More points if you're quick!

Lovely question, I’d also like to hear peoples’ ways of doing so!

I've re-evaluated the assets, colors, game balance, and overall feel of my third game. With more experience, I'm much happier with it now. A stronger, second look established how much I've learned so far. I'm very proud of myself!

Check out the level coming together!

🎮 Open yourself up to talking to everyone. This is your chance to make a ton of new gaming friends.

Same goes for the "phone zombie". I drove away from the dull gray coloring and instead gave it a vivid color that will work nicely with the level design, yet be it's own being that is very noticeable.

Racing car asset for I need to go by Problem 18.

I'm revising my art for "I need to go" so it reflects my improvements in art. Applying color theory, wasting less time by using Aseprite's shortcuts.

For example the racing car, a fast obstacle that needs to be timed to dodge, in 3 color variants.

New level design for I need to go by Problem 18

I've been working on improving "I need to go". I am not content with the released version. Mostly focusing on learning color theory basics to improve level design. I'm proud of my progress, the improvements are small but noticeable to me!

Have a look! 😊

Keybricks released! | Problem 18 Post announcing the release of Keybricks, the second game of the challenge of Problem 18.

Another post written, this time about Keybricks and going a bit more in depth in the biggest hurdles I experienced, and the most valuable lessons I learned.

I made this one a bit longer, please let me know if you have any feedback! 🙏

Tricat released! | Problem 18 Post announcing the release of Tricat, the first game of the challenge of Problem 18.

My first big post about the first game I made, Tricat! It dives deeper into how it came to be, and what lessons I have learned from development.

I'd appreciate any feedback as this is the first time I'm writing such stuff! 🙏

#indiedev #gamedev #godot

That looks hilariously chaotic haha

My game development journey is going well, I'm pleased with my progress. Sharing it with friendly faces here really adds to it, thanks everyone! The character limit on Bluesky feels restricting, so I'll build a page to more freely speak of my experience!

#indiedev #gamedev #webdev

I'm not happy with "I need to go". Despite this being a learning exercise, it lacks the polish of the previous game. I'm ahead of schedule, I'll focus the next days on improving the game, and applying what I've learned.

Thanks for all your feedback!

#indiedev #gamedev #godot

"I need to go" is ready! This game shows everything I've learned so far. You REALLY need to go.. avoid various obstacles on the street as you make your way to your point of relief!

Appreciate any and all feedback!

Godot 4.6 Release: It's all about your flow With the stability gained over the past five releases, it's time for polish and quality of life improvements for everyday development.

#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow!

This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more.

Less wrestling with UI. More making games.
godotengine.org/releases/4.6

Perhaps it was my fault, but is the lack of sound effects intended?

Other than that, idea is great and it's fun, and the monkey is hilarious! I did find myself in a difficult spot (129-130M) where it was hard to see how to get through the big stack of boxes.

I absolutely love this. The little windows in the back really make this one shine for me!

Thank you, looking forward to your work as well!

I’m learning that as we speak. Currently at the basics of the basics of 2D art lmao 😭

Y-sorting, 2D art, ray casts, ... It's simple yet tricky with unfamiliar game programming designs. Much of my weekend went towards 2D art practice & development progress. Eager to share more when ready.

Take one last look before the release!

#indiedev #gamedev #godot

Good luck to you, discipline is stronger than motivation. From experience!

As a perfectionist, not being able to draw pixel art exactly as I envisioned it is a struggle, ugh! That being said, I'm happy with my progress of creating and learning everyday!

Take a peek at what I've got so far.

#indiedev #gamedev #godot

Day #4 of "I need to go"! Past two days were art and hunting for a solution to a movement bug. Long tinkering aside, I managed to find a solution. The game's getting closer and closer to the finish line!

Take a look at what I got so far. 😅

#indiedev #gamedev #godot

I think I get what you mean. I think seeing games like Hades and Hollow Knight shows what kind of talent the people behind those games have. Makes me want to see what other amazing games they can make besides that one big hit.

Can't blame them for making sequels either, though.
