Working on the Stage 2 boss again this week, so no major progress to share.
I recently arranged the stage select theme I made earlier using a MegaDrive (YM2612) + effectors setup.
With effectors applied, it might not sound very authentic…
Compare with previous NES version repost.

Sorry for the late reply! Thank you so much. I'm really happy!

Like the exploration scenes in film scores🎬, right before the action kicks in?
The vibe of the sound itself is an '80s digital synthesizer.

I've been working on the rest of Stage 2 this week. It's almost done, so next week I'll start making the boss. I started around mid-August, so I guess each stage takes me about two months.🔨

Thanks. We’ll be seeing it a lot, so I want it to look as good as possible😊

After about 1.5 years in development, my game "May and the Amazing Bouquet" can now be wishlisted on Steam!

This is my first real game, and I'm so excited it's gotten to this point! 🥲

Thank you to everyone who's followed and supported so far!

I've been working on the second half of Stage 2 this week. It's still a WIP, but this part's tricky — lots of spots where you can fall if you're not careful. Trying to keep it fun while still challenging is always tough!🤔

Ah, I get it! If I’d rung the bell🔔, I might not be here now!🚌

I was out a lot this week, so honestly, there’s not much progress.
I just worked a bit on the save data.
Totally unrelated to game dev, but the photo is of a “bell” I found by the side of the road while I was out.
It looks way too small to use in an emergency, so I have no idea what it is🤔

Thanks! So glad it looked fun!😄

Hop aboard a small airship and start shooting! You'll literally be using "buttons" to control it🎮.
The enemy movements I made last week were a bit too difficult, so now a warning🚨 will appear before they shoot.

This week, I was working on creating the mid-boss for Stage 2. It looks like fighting it with a sword will be tough. Next week, let's prepare a weapon to defeat it!

Thanks!🥰 I’ll keep polishing it so I can make something even better.😎

The characters and UI are so slick👍. Much respect!I wish I had your skills.😆

This week, I created two enemy characters for the aerial stage. I had a bit of trouble that create using the hook rope to throw enemies that aren't affected by gravity.

Totally — this level was super inspired by the sky stages in Super Mario Bros. 3. It’s one of my favorite games, of course!　So glad you enjoyed the video!😄

So glad! Thanks 😆

How about hanging onto a cannonball and soaring through the sky?
It's not super exciting gameplay-wise, but it does help mix up the pacing — pretty neat.
As an extra step, we’ll probably need to add enemies at the landing spot.

Thanks! I'm really glad—I kinda felt like I pulled it off pretty well, in my own way!🥰

This week, I worked on the background graphics for Stage2.
The second stage is set in the sky, so it’s going to be an aerial battle.
Next up, I’ll be building the level and adding some new enemies!

Thank you.😊 I feel the same way. It would be ideal if I had the skills to fix the godot source myself!

This week, I struggled with a Godot Engine issue (bug or feature?),
so I made a video about it.
I also used it as a chance to learn DaVinci Resolve—pretty tough!
I skipped voice narration this time.

This week, I added a feature to the stage-clear sequence that displays a bonus based on the number of citizens rescued. I’ve liked "Metal Slug" does this, so I tried implementing something similar.I hope it gives off the right vibe. #GameDev #IndieGameDev #GodotEngine #solodev

Finally linked up tutorial → stage select → level 1!It’s been a long journey, but I’m slowly getting there!

I had to travel this week for personal reasons, so there has been no progress on the game development. The photos show a bus I saw during the trip, and another one of the sky and mountains.

GOODBYE WORLD on Steam "GOODBYE WORLD" is a narrative adventure game. Play through 12 stages of a puzzle platformer while following the two protagonists through 13 chapters of their story.

I finally played "goodbye world", which had been sitting in my lib. forever.
Absolutely loved it—the story was "pain" in the best way.
Solo devs or small teams, you need to play this.🎮

"Kani-Chan" was so me—I actually thought, “Wait, is this my story?”🤣

Still working on the tutorial castle!
Supporting both keyboard and game controllers is tricky-figuring out how to show the controls in-game isn't easy.
Low-reso icons alone feel a bit unreliable, so I've added text explanations.
#GameDev #IndieGameDev #GodotEngine #solodev

This week, I created a new castle🏰stage along with a music track!
The stage is part of the story and serves as a tutorial, so no enemies here.
Next week, I’ll be adding some signboards with gameplay instructions to the background!

Thank you!! I'm so happy! 😊
Godot’s architecture really suits me, and I enjoy developing with it.

The calm art and music set such a lovely mood—feels amazing! ✨
