Olivier, working on Alix RPG 💖

Hello dear followers 👋 My name is Olivier, I'm 45, living in France 🇫🇷 I'va been working on #AlixRPG for 3 years now on my spare time, using #godot You can follow my journey on oxeron.itch.io/alix I will soon publish some videos on www.youtube.com/@Oxeron to share my passion and my work See u soon

This week I gave the market city a mysterious hooded stranger 🕵️🌙 Someone's going to get kidnapped in my little game, and I'm trying so hard to keep the big reveal a secret 🤫 Writing it feels so cozy and so spooky at the same time 💕 #IndieGameDev

Dialogue box upgrade! Now running on Dialogue Manager 4.1 by @nathanhoad.net in @godotengine.org 💬 Fun fact: I made a small contribution to v4.0! And the typing sound finally stops when the line ends 🔊 #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #godot

A quiet week on my little game, but lots of small fixes 🔧🌱 - Quests now reopen if you lose the items before delivery - The dialogue typing sound no longer loops after a line 🙈 - A lighter build, unused fonts and sounds are gone Thank you for following along, it means the world 💕 #IndieGameDev

Little mobile update 📱 My touch buttons now sit in an arc around attack, and you can sprint by pushing the joystick past its ring. Playing Alix with my thumbs feels so much better now 🌻 #IndieGameDev #Godot #WIPWednesday

Big week for my little game 📱🌻 - AlixRPG now plays on phones: touch joystick, sprint, tappable menus - iOS and Android builds are getting real - Quest fixes, and a lost turtle found again 🐢 Thank you so much for following along, I love you all 💕 #IndieGameDev #Godot

Attending a piercing conference for my girlfriend's job today, and of course I brought my laptop 🪡💕 Learning about philtrum anatomy while I work on touch controls for AlixRPG 🎮 Best kind of cozy multitasking 🌟 #IndieGameDev #Godot

AlixRPG now fits in your pocket 📱 on-screen touch controls, pixel-art buttons and all #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev

My second Godot engine contribution just got merged 🎉 Testing Alix on iPhone, each launch logged a "Mouse is not supported" error. The engine was asking for the mouse position on a device with no mouse 📱 Tiny fix, shipping in Godot 4.8 github.com/godotengine/... #gamedev #godot #indiegame

AlixRPG is slowly fitting in my pocket 📱🌻 I added little pixel-art touch buttons this week, and Woody got his own too: summon, switch, stay, jump 🐶 I may have spent way too long just tapping my phone and smiling 💕 #IndieGameDev #WIPWednesday

The market area in Auralia Island got some real love this week: new stalls, more life in the scene 🏘️✨ #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev

The market area just got its first resident 🧑‍🌾 A villager wandering the stalls, right past a brand new welcome sign 🌟 #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev

My market area just got its very first welcome sign 🏘️🌻 Three tiny words, "Welcome to the market," but seeing it standing there next to the stalls suddenly makes the place feel real, like somewhere people actually live 💕 #IndieDev #WIPWednesday #RPG #ZeldaLike

My game started in march 2022, it's now a lot bigger #AlixRPG #godot #GodotEngine #GodotTips

Huge week for AlixRPG 🌍✨ - 7 new languages added: ES, PT-BR, Italian, Russian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean - New NPCs Mother and Alix joined the world 🧑‍🌾 - Lots of testing work behind the scenes to keep the game solid 🧑‍🔧 So proud of how far my little game has come 💕 #IndieGameDev #Godot

Every item in the game can be converted any time, gracefully, to and from a serialized data representation (e.g. JSON). Here you can see me live-editing items via only a text box. #GodotEngine #gamedev #indiedev

Alix finally has her own NPC in AlixRPG 🌻 the game is named after her, but she never actually showed up in her own world until now. She's walking around Auralia Island as of this week 💕 feels like a nice little full circle moment 😌 #IndieGameDev #Godot

#WIPWednesday 🏺 Added a jar variant picker so I can choose which jar sprite goes where, live in the editor. Just used it to fill the market area with jars of all shapes and colors 🧺🌻 Small detail, big vibe boost. #IndieGameDev #Godot

This week was all about the shop 🛒✨ Merchants restock once a day, buying and selling both work, and the market's starting to feel like a real place with new decorations 🌻 Added a Discard action too, so your bag never gets stuck full 🎒 Slow and steady, but it's coming together 💕 #IndieGameDev #Godot

Something small I'm really happy with: your equipped weapon, shield and boots now show up live in the inventory screen ⚔️🛡️👢 Just little icons, but seeing your gear actually reflected there makes the whole screen feel more alive 💛 #IndieGameDev #PixelArt

Added a Guard NPC this week, standing watch after the bridge leading into the market 🛡️🌉 One step closer to Romain finding his mom and sister again. #indiedev #gamedev #ScreenshotSaturday

This week the market in Alix came alive 🛍️🌻 Shops to buy and sell, new NPCs walking the streets, and a lost cat quest that made me smile writing it 🐱 Also hunted down a nasty crash bug, finally squashed 🧑‍🔧 Thank you for following along, means a lot 💕 #IndieGameDev

AlixRPG progress 🏘️✨ The market city is finally starting to feel like a real place. Stalls, cats weaving between crates, and little Romy is still looking for her lost cat 🐾 Every street I add makes Auralia feel a little more alive 💛 #indiegame #gamedev #pixelart #madewithgodot

🛡️🌉 A little AlixRPG update Added a Guard NPC at the city gate. Small detail, but he'll tell you if your family already passed through, I love these tiny touches 💕 Also fixed an old bug with NPCs facing the wrong way when idle 🧑‍🔧 Thank you 🌻 #gamedev #godot #indiegame #pixelart

Hello to all my #gamedev friends, here's a two-month update on Alix's development! 🦊 #indiedev #godot

I never thought I'd be able to take part in a game jam and yet, with my son Romain, we did it! Alien Scale Protocol, our little game made in 2 days with Godot, full of heart (and coffee ☕) Thank you #KenneyJam2026 for a push we needed 💕 🔗 oxeron.itch.io/alien-scale-protocol #GameJam #Godot #GameDev

Let's go for our first #gamejam with #godot Father and son trying to make a game !

Tonight I'm starting a great new project with my 19-year-old son, Romain — yes, he has the same name as the hero of the game AlixRPG that I'm currently developing. We're participating together in our first #gamejam with #godot ! Check back tomorrow night to see the results. 💙 itch.io/jam/kenney-j...

Small farming update this week 🌻 Watching corn and wheat actually grow frame by frame in the fields, then get harvested (some by walking up, some by swinging a sword at bamboo 🗡️) feels so satisfying. Thank you for following along with our little world growing 💕 #gamedev #godot #indiegame #pixelart

Small editor tool 🛠️ Auralia has a before/after state - peaceful animals before the kidnapping, monsters after. So I built act_preview: a toolbar dropdown in #godot editor that toggles acts + node visibility on the fly. Instant feedback while placing NPCs, enemies, and cutscenes. #gamedev #indiegame

dev day rundown 🧑‍🔧✨ - shield handover now plays a full floating item reveal animation 🛡️ - the game now tracks which chapter of the story you're in - world zones change automatically based on story state it's all starting to connect 🌿💖 #gamedev #godot #indiegame #pixelart

big session on Alix yesterday 🌸 spent hours reworking the story — Raphael's arc (a broken kid the darkness exploited), a new NPC called Mira who gates the boots quest, and the father's name also: 60 Notion tickets to bring the current demo up to the full vision 🧑‍🔧 #godot #indiegame #gamedev

Small but satisfying dev day on #AlixRPG 🧑‍🔧🌻 - Shield & weapon depth fixed when facing up 🛡️ - Auto gdlint check on every commit ✅ - 3 Sentry crashes squashed 🐛 - A lof of linter issues for better codebase 🔆 Slow and cozy progress 😌 #gamedev #godot #indiegame #pixelart

🧑‍🔧 Godot 4.7 migration heads-up TileSet sources fail to load when a scene is loaded via load_threaded_request with use_sub_threads enabled — your whole level can go blank 🗺️ workaround + report: github.com/godotengine/... hope it saves someone a few hours! 🌟

Weapon system devlog 🗡️🌟 - Sword + spear resources added ✅ - Hitbox rotation driven by AnimationPlayer - Deactivation tied to animation end (bye bye timers 👋) - Player hand syncs to animation frame It's all coming together 😌 #indiegame #godot #pixelart

Big architecture day for Alix RPG 🗡️🛡️ I was baking every weapon × shield combo into one sprite... that's 78 files to maintain 😬 Today I switched to compositing overlay layers at runtime. adding a new weapon now = 1 file instead of 6 ✨ Much better #gamedev #indiedev #godot4

I published the first release of the 0.1.8 version (0.1.8-beta1) on Steam ! If you like #zelda like #pixelart #retro #game (and also #animals and family stories) give it a try 💖 store.steampowered.com/news/app/324... #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

One year later I’m sitting at the same place in Bordeaux while my girlfriend is intending a piercing workshop during several days An opportunity for me to work on my game #Alix while enjoying the view (but not the weather 😅)

My game Alix starting 17th March 2022 4 years later it has been nominated for the 2025 #godot Game Awards in the Best Visual Art 2D section I'm really grateful and proud You can vote multiple times here stayathomedev-git.github.io/godotgameawa... Thanks for the help 💖 #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev

Nice place to work on my game 🥰

Long awaited (small) feature: player can now look for #Alix and items in furnitures. It took me 4 years to add, but it's finally here ! 😀😜 #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

#godot 4.6 is out and I'm listed in the official contributors, it's an honor 💙

Today I learned a nice #GodotTips about flipping an entity in #Godot #GodotEngine It's better to use rotation = PI and scale.y = -1 instead of scale.x = -1 in some cases www.reddit.com/r/godot/comm...

Hyperslice releases tomorrow! Ready to face lots of bullets?

I published the final release of the 0.1.7 version (0.1.7-beta7) on Steam ! If you like #zelda like #pixelart #retro #game (and also #animals and family stories) give it a try store.steampowered.com/news/app/324... #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Hello you 💙 Thanks to my girlfriend, it's a nice way to support @godot.foundation Get yours at www.makeship.com/products/god... #godot #godotengine

I just published 0.1.7-beta6 demo release of #AlixRPG on #steam This version introduces a quest journal to follow the user progression, a lot of quest rework and bug fixing 🧑‍🔧 Feel free to give me your feedbacks ! 💖 #gamedev #indiedev #godot #screenshotsaturday store.steampowered.com/news/app/324...

Working on a new quest journal for #AlixRPG This needed some quest code rework to be efficient but the result seems nice for a first iteration What do you think ? #gamedev #indiedev #godot #rpg

If you want to monitor your #godot code quality when using gdscript, you can use gdradon which will give you a cyclomatic complexity indicator for each methods of your script This tool is part of github.com/Scony/godot-... #GodotTips #gamedev

Thanks to my new Story Manager, NPC can evolve dialogs depending on the story #godot #gamedev #AlixRPG (both screenshots were taken at different moment in the game, once the player completed a quest)
