I made some neat effects for my status effects. You can tell what each one is suppose to represent right? right?? -- #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #vfx #jrpg

Isle of Reveries is out now on Steam and consoles! Links ⬇️ If you're enjoying the game on Steam, please leave a review! The algorithm heavily favors games with a lot of reviews at this stage. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #zelda

It's entirely procedural, all it needs is a noise texture and some gradients. Only issue i've noticed with it is that increasing the particle count too much creates this odd "visual residue". Idk might be something with the shader lol.

Decided to add zelda-esq object targeting. This is very important for characters that can shoot stuff and gives me more options for object placement. The system can help players pinpoint what objects around them are receptive to force abilities. -- #gamedev #jrpg #godot

Have you ever caught a fish that, that you, um, you had, your, youβ€” you could, you'll do, youβ€” you wants, you... -- #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegamedev

While I've been working on this swapping feature, I've been thinking about an enemy I encountered in DQ5, it was like an elephant looking thing and it could fling members in your party into the wagon (bench). I might explore something similar... -- #JRPG #gamedev #godot

Characters properly jump into the fray when swapping now. Also added some UI so you can see the status of the character you're swapping to. -- #screenshotsaturday #jrpg #indiegamedev

Still debating on letting you swap once per turn... I have it turned off to showcase the feature here, but honestly it seems like a needless restriction. Most games seem to forfeit your turn entirely when you decide to swap character mid-battle. IMO that seems way too harsh of a consequence.

My very thorough market research (eg. scrolling reddit) led me to adding a "swapping character mid-battle" mechanic. Although, I think I'm missing a negative somewhere... -- #JRPG #RPG #gamedev

The fire is actually just billboard particles. A few tricks I use to make it look 3D are proximity fading of the noise before stepping the edge and scrolling the noise left/right based on the angle you look at it #godot #godotengine #vfx #shaders #indiedev

Trying to add some simple effects so characters aren't as stiff, just gotta hook it up to the dialogue system and see if I can add a sway. -- #godot #jrpg #indiegamedev
