With the help of using @kenney.nl assets, i started to create my own top down shooter with multiple weapons. #2d #indie #gamedev i plan to create more rooms, the main game loop, and more enemy types. Oh and some rogue like elements...

Well its been several months since I've touched this account after the #xbox #layoffs... I decided to create my own 2d engine and will try to post more content about that

#crimsondesert took most of my dev time (and still does) but i've hacked up the shooter project in #ue to create a topdown shooter need to do a few more things for my working prototype #gamedev #unreal

What do you do when youre unmotivated to work on your previous #gamedev project? Start a different one!

Anyone going to #gdc? love to connect and chat!

After being auto banned for no fault of my own and missing #marathon server slam, it seems like all I get is that they are sorry @bungie.net? I guess it's a sign to play the other games in my Steam/Xbox library.

I feel like since all the studio layoffs we should start boycotting events like #GDC #gamedev

#gamedev #hottake we need to unionize our industry. Another friend just called me looking for work. I feel like this tale occurs far too often.

Hey #gamedev and #indiedev Do you finish your project, or move on to something else. I’m at that crossroad where it’s not fun/exciting anymore.

Did a bunch of improvements with input to make it better. Still need to add a cd to the shoot when tapping. Also learned a lot about UI thanks to Godotneers on YouTube. I keep telling myself it’s a marathon, not a sprint. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Playing my favorite game again #ff7 #steamdeck

After playing with the trajectory, I like having it not show the bounce so that it forces the player to get better. I still need to improve the input. But I kinda wanna focus on UI #gamdev #indiedev #godot

So since my flight from PR was cancelled, do I send the bill to Trump or the administration?

I like how the trajectory line shows up. there is a slight bug where the bubble hits vs the reflection point. Probably fix it when im not exhausted. #gamedev #indedev #godot

Look at how much I can get done when my flight gets cancelled and I sit at the bar all day. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

It’s on my phone. I can already tell I need to scale things up. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

and like that we can load the level data! I'd like to take this time to thank the academy... wait. too early for all that. Now to focus on levels and getting it on my phone. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I did some minor updates to make the sliders better, save & load work. and finally randomize. I think my editor is good for now. now to crank out some levels!! Oh and load the info during runtime #gamdev #indiedev #godot

Happy new year! Had some down time. (well few hrs here and there). I made the grid and I'm able to paint where the bubbles will go. Next I need to save the data to the level and load it during runtime. I also need to use the RNG in the editor #gamedev #indiedev #godot

we have a level editor well version 0.001 dot alpha lol I want to make bubble layouts next based on the information here. Then a game designer (me) will be able to place bubbles to start cranking out levels #godot #gamdev #indiedev

Merry Christmas Even though I'm on vacation, I was able to get my level editor display. Now I need to code it up #gamedev #indiedev #godot

we have basic menus! I think now im going to try to make a level editor where a designer (me) will be able to place bubbles and serialize this out as a level. If anyone is interested i can post about it #godot #indiedev #gamedev

And time trials here we come #godot #gamedev #indiedev

did some code refactor and implemented game modes - normal/classic - one shot next up is time trial #godot #gamedev #indiedev

added the end game screen. im on a roll! #godot #indiedev

now putting back the scoring #godot #indiedev

I added back the queue and the current bubble that is loaded #godot #indiedev

updated the level data to specify where the walls are defined #godot #indiedev #gamedev

I added back the bubble breaking and the ball falling logic #godot #indiedev

Second day back on my puzzle bobble. - added levels - added the canon - shooting bubbles Need to figure out the why they are stuck in air. I feel like im moving faster in #godot. maybe cause of the style of game #indiedev

I'm back. I interviewed for some jobs and didn't get them so /shrug I decided to switch from #unreal -> #godot Maybe its due to wanting to always do a #2d game, but also have it run on my phone so another /shrug so now it should be faster as its the second time right. right? :cries:

@baskinator.bsky.social Is there a place for a bug report. Since the new update I'm unable to run Visual Studio at the same time.

After finishing the win scenario, finishing up with the lose. I added another Actor (yellow line) and based the position off the bottom. Then using a UMaterialInstanceDynamic, update the opacity. Next, I want to tackle creating tools for levels at editor time #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #unreal

I had a question about how to make a string in blueprints, and someone suggested to not hard code the string. Did they look at my username and take it literally? #gamedev #unreal

After a well to do vacation, I got right back in to my game. Created the win scenario with placeholder buttons for later #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #unreal

Added scoring based on a curve for hitting a combo, and a flat bonus for dropping bubbles. Its fine for now, and punt the other questions for later lol. looks like win/lose is next up on the list. and 3 bugs.... #gamedev #indiedev #unreal

I really want to bring my laptop and work on my game while I’m on vacation. But I’m not going to!

I'm on a roll right now after removing my 2d array impl in favor of storing neighbours. Now that I have the break logic and fall logic back in, probably work on scoring and win/lose. *After* I come back from vacation lol #gamedev #indiedev

You know how you have those moments when you wake up and figure out the problem, and now its all working! #unreal #gamedev #indiedev #sometimesyouhavetosleep

No cheating, share your lock screen

I've been busy lately with work and trying to prepare for my trip. So I tried to get the ball placement working really well. I relaxed the threshold for a neighbour a bit to increase the chance of it two neighbours vs one Next, prob create lines for the trajectory #gamedev #indiedev

Sometimes in #gamedev you have to take two steps back, before you can go forward. Me dropping bubbles after a break was detected wasn't working out at all. Now, I'm storing the neighbors (lines) and the tools prog in me made a debug view to show the neighbors (yellow) #indiedev #unreal

Working on getting the bubbles to fall after a match, and well didn't go as planned. but it looks cool. #gamedev

I guess i was on a roll today fixing bugs and adding the bubble queue. Next, i need to place arr[0] at the end of the cannon. I think next ill do scoring & win/lose scenario #GameDev #IndieDev

Can anyone tell me how to fix #p4 merge to be bigger by default? its like a 1/5 of my monitor. I tried setting the values in the menu, it did nothing. #GameDev #perforce #p4merge

One of the best investments I’ve made to keep me motivated in #GameDev has been a whiteboard. Anyone else have any additional tips/advice?

I got caught up yesterday with the #bf6 beta with friends that I had to continue working today on the bubble pop logic. I insert the bubble in the array, then run a flood fill algorithm to determine which neigbours have the same color Next work on queuing #GameDev #IndieDev #ScreenshotSaturday

bubble are shooting from the cannon! now i need to figure out why the are not at the same depth of the grid. And why the bounce/reflect vel sucks also need to keep the bubbles from not flying off in random directions. But thats what tomorrow is for #unreal #gamedev #indiedev
