Took my first ADHD tablet a few hours ago Not sure if it's doing anything? Maybe I need to eat five

NEW: What's this, actual journalism from Geoffrey? Last year, I spoke to developers who were stepping in to fill the gap in arcade flight shooters left wide open by Nintendo's tardiness in making a new Star Fox. There's challenges, nostalgia, and a whole lot of anthropomorphised animals in cockpits.

Indie developers got tired of waiting for a new Star Fox, so they’re making their own

Kyuu's first cameo! (unless you count her ship model in Star Fox EX) Thanks for including her! You really... knocked it out the park 😎

BlastFX 2.0 is now on Steam and Itchio, and currently 25% off I've used this tool myself for several effects in Ex-Zodiac, so you can trust its useful 😎 mnkytech.itch.io/blastfx store.steampowered.com/app/940920/B... (if you buy it on itchio you get a steam key + 30% wont go to gabe for his boat)

Brand new version of BlastFX, coming very soon

I've been asked to add a somersault manoeuvre to EZ for a while now, mainly for the all-range stages I didn't think it'd be too complicated (and it isn't technically), however, the movement system I made is built on twigs and spit, so I'll probably have to re-write the whole player controller..

Unfortunately Bsky doesn't have polls yet, but- I'm considering the idea of giving Kyuu teammates in Ex-Zodiac... Woo! Monkey friends! or No! Only monkey solitude. ?

I already have to use a vpn for a bunch of stuff in the UK, and there's things I can no longer see as discord has marked them as sensitive and I refuse to upload my ID. You really don't want this, trust me

Discord will require a face scan or ID for full access next month

HEY! LISTEN!! 🧚 Did y'all know there's a "Tree" style comment thread option on Bluesky? I've been using it for a month and it makes the overall threads of comments and replies MUCH cleaner and more organized! It's something I haven't mentioned yet, but I just wanted to spread the word! ✌️

Here's the first of five yet to come, setting the standard. It's Kyuu from Ex Zodiac, as suggested by @mardymuntjak.bsky.social! I wasn't sure what her bottom half looked like, so I made something up to fit with her jumpsuit. She's very fun to draw, and I like her ship too!

Now the big one, THANK YOU FOR 1K+ FOLLOWERS!! It genuinely warms my heart. To celebrate, I'd like to do a sketch raffle. I'll start with 5 slots (I'm open to doing more depending on how long each one takes me to do.) Please voice your requests below! I'll draw from a hat at the end of the week!

@rittzler.bsky.social (creator of Pseudoregalia), has had their Discord and email hacked and is linking to a virus in disguise. If you see anything linking to a game called "Furfall", DO NOT engage with it. It's not made by Rittz and isn't a real game (it's a Remote Access Trojan) DO NOT CLICK IT.

soundcloud.com/perfectlygen... still such a neat arrange, sometimes I think about it. thanks, @preferablygeneric.bsky.social

The latest Ex-Zodiac update is here! Presenting ETHUNA, a lush and deadly new level filled with giant bugs, sentient flora and haunted rocks... Currently 60% off during the Steam Winter Sale: store.steampowered.com/app/1249480/...

There were far more delays than I would have liked, but the latest level Ethuna is finally playable in the latest update to #exzodiac! The game is also currently 60% off in the Steam Winter sale - store.steampowered.com/app/1249480/...

I might moan about Godot from time to time, but what we have now is infinitely better than what I first tried using back in 2014 😂

Maxfield@maxfieldev.bsky.social · 8mo ago

New vid on how to install and use Godot 1.0! Thanks to @akien.bsky.social for making it possible to use the first version of the #GodotEngine again, and to my girlfriend for making the video's thumbnail :) youtu.be/HsVLwCKGoWs?... #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

I dream of the day when Godot's bezier animation editor is functional

At least Bluesky is still working lol

This is how the 15fps mode works in Ex-Zodiac

My favourite thing about game development is getting part way through developing a boss, deciding it's shite, and then starting a new one. Then doing that multiple times

Sorry for the lack of updates, I'm still chipping away at the latest level for Ex-Zodiac. I've been caught up with other life stuff like looking for a new job after my previous position came to an end. Anyhoo, I should have something to show soon, hopefully!

The issue with the mac build was due to the custom build I was using. The only reason I was using a custom build was because the devs removed the rotation_degrees property and all of my animations used it, so I had to create a custom build where that property was still available

Good news, she fixed the MacOS build, so now all 2.3% of you can finally enjoy the latest stage update! 🐒 store.steampowered.com/app/1249480/...
