Daily reminder that GDscript supports the Sumerian clay table alphabet, Akkadian cuneiform of ancient Mesopotamia. This is perfectly valid code you can write in your game:

Every enemy in my twin-stick shooter shatters into its own pixels when it dies. The debris is colored by sampling the sprite right inside the particle shader. Read more and grab Electro Havoc for 30% off right now in the Steam Summer Sale: medium.com/@mhaddy/godo... #godot #gamedev #shaders #vfx

Really looking forward to Oboro No Ichi. It has real Spirited Away vibes and love the shallow depth of field for the immersion it brings to this cozy sim. Well done, @thelaba.bsky.social! #indiedev

Devlog #2 is up, only two years late. In my defense, I shipped a twin-stick shooter on Steam in the meantime. Game jam -> dead last -> free Early Access -> 1.0 this week. Mostly built in 15-minute commits between a day job and family. #indiedev #solodev #godot #gamedev medium.com/@mhaddy/godo...

After 3+ years in development, from game jam "chain reaction" prompt to a full 1.0 release, Electro Havoc is finally out of Early Access and live on #steam. What a wild ride! Learn more here: steamcommunity.com/app/2980110/... #godot #solodev #indiedev #arcade #2d #gamedev

Here's a sneak peek at what's launching with 1.0 of Electro Havoc! 3 worlds, 30 waves, 6+ enemies, 12+ attack patterns, and a whole lot of mayhem. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsv-... #solodev #godot #gamedev #indiedev Steam: store.steampowered.com/app/2980110/...

Acting on player feedback: more particles, more enemies, more chain reactions, more mayhem, just moar! Launching 1.0 on Jun 8th on Steam. #solodev #godot #indiedev #steam #gaming #bulletfest

I'm happy to share that Electro Havoc leaves Early Access on Jun 8th, in time for Bulletfest on #Steam! Grab it free now and you'll keep the full 1.0 release at no charge -- more worlds, more enemies, new mechanics, and a whole lot more #stats #solodev store.steampowered.com/app/2980110/...

What an amazing resource and a creative way to share it: an Itch deployed game running Godot so there’s instant feedback on the visual UI and the code that created it. Well done @qaqelol.bsky.social! #godot #tutorial #gamedev

New Starter Kits for @godotengine.org are coming! Once the two new ones are released I'll start updating older ones from Godot 4.5 to 4.6! ✨ #gamedev kenney.nl/starter-kits

It's a good day to see the top of steam dominated by a banner for a Godot game

love[typed_dictionaries] = true

I think it's time we've accepted that @passivestar.bsky.social's "Minimal" Godot theme should become the default Godot Editor theme. It's time #godotengine

Bit of the visual variety I've got going on in World 2 of Electro Havoc. Lot more going on here than in World 1! Can't wait for you all to try it once I get the next playtest going. #indiedev #solodev #vfx #godot #teaser #steam

I'm pretty sure my new BulletManager system (which is supposed to improve resource utilization and reduce memory usage) is not working as intended... #godotengine #indiedev #solodev #vfx

Slowly but surely I've been refactoring the bones of Electro Havoc to introduce new enemy types, worlds and game mechanics in response to player feedback. Here's a sneak peek at World 2 coming soon to Early Access on #steam youtu.be/hqJVRwy-Tes #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Working on the second world for Electro Havoc. Sticking with the space station, but introducing shuttle bays to allow outer world enemies to fly in and cascade through the map. Instead of chasing the player, these will be on preset flight paths with timed visits. #godot #arcade #indiedev #solodev

A wishlist from players has been to differentiate enemies based on their attack pattern. Well, now thanks to Godot 4.4's support for per instance uniforms for canvas_item #shaders, I've got a little more color in the game. www.youtube.com/watch?v=2R8d... #indiedev #indiegames #steam #vfx #godot

#Godot 4.4 enabled instance uniforms on canvas_item shaders, right? I’m not having any luck applying property updates to the shader from my Gdscript. #vfx #shader #indiedev

Preview of the World Select Screen I'm cooking for Electro Havoc. Lot of refactoring going on behind the scenes to support this relatively simple feature! #godot #indiedev #indiegames #solodev #arcade

I need some inspiration for a world or level select screen for a twin stick arcade shooter. Any compilations or wishlist ideas I should take a look at? #gamedev #arcade #inspiration

I haven't noticed many changes going from #Godot 4.3 to 4.4 in Electro Havoc, except the #shader I'm using for enemy spawning indicators has a neat new look. Do you like the 4.3 or 4.4 variety? www.youtube.com/watch?v=uMgb... Code: gist.github.com/mhaddy/5a085... #indiedev #indiegames #steam

Just completed Steam's accessibility questionnaire on Electro Havoc. Definitely got me thinking about alternative playstyles, and even simple updates I can make to the game to improve its approachability. I've got some work to do! #Accessibility #Gaming #Steam #Valve #PCGaming

Over 2 years ago, I started developing Electro Havoc with the game jam prompt, "chain reaction". Released on Steam Early Access just one week ago, it's pretty cool to see the original vision come to light. Just grab that shield power-up first! #godot #indiedev #gaming #steam #solodev
