Testing status effects. I realized I had so many that in the unlikely chance they all were applied at once they'd overflow off the HP bar. What do you think? #indiegame #gamedev #BotHacker #robot #RPG #creaturecollector #1v1 #fakemon #monstertamer

I posted a devlog detailing some of the elements that make this game different than those in the same genre and about plans for the future. Have a read if you've got time. #indiegame #BotHacker #1v1 #turnbased #RPG #creaturecollector #monstertamer bothackergame.itch.io/bothacker/de...

Unique systems and planned features

So, I think it’s worth talking about my plan for this project and how it differs from other games in this genre. If you’ve played the game you’ve probably noticed two main differences: No random...

New cyborg enemy, question mark? #Blender3D #IndieGameDev

Ooooh no. I did not think this through. I think I get why this isn't done now. #gamedev #indiegame #BotHacker

I finished the battle screen background. This is going to be for the tech campus interiors. I'm not positive how many of these I'll need in the end, but probably one more for the underground and another for concrete floors. #pixelart #BotHacker #indiegame #rpg #battle #turn-based #gamemaker

So someone on reddit sent me this photo of them playing BotHacker on their steamdeck and I'm blown away it just works. I didn't even consider that as a platform at this stage and yet, it does! #indiegame #BotHacker #itch.io

Tenebrarium has a Steam page! It started as an experiment to see if I could make a simple colony simulator in a month, but after 2 months of weekly updates, people have been very keen for a full release. You can wishlist it right now! store.steampowered.com/app/4880410/... #gamedev #indiegame

An idle-like alien colony simulator. Study an alien species and expand the colony to discover all their peculiar behaviours.

Getting around to doing another background. This is going to be an interior for the abandoned tech campus. I anticipate I may to change how I handle offsets for bots so I can keep them consistently on the ground. #pixelart #BotHacker #indiedev

My font "Enter Input" has new input prompts! ❤️ v3x3d.itch.io/enter-input New additions such as "Start" and "Select" buttons! Minimal input prompts for devs! 😄 #pixelart #ドット絵 #gamedev #indiedev

Here's the pixel art version of Daemon. I am so pleased it turned out as I had in mind! #robot #gamedev #BotHacker #indiedev #gamemaker #pixelart #haunted #demon #art

Bot sketches. The first is Daemon, upgrade form of Imp (my avatar). The second is Cogsworth, a robo-butler! I've draw both before but I needed more detailed sketches and the player-side angle before I move on to the pixel art. #sketch #conceptart #indiedev #gamedev #robots #BotHacker

Nobody can agree on the rain in my game, and I can't fix it #pixelart #indiedev

One of the things I really truly love about gamedev is the opportunity to make a really detailed debug overlay. The depth of information about what the code is actually doing is so so valuable. #indiedev #debug #gamemaker #BotHacker

I've learned an unfortunate/fortunate thing. It turns out I did not have Hardware Acceleration turned on in browser... With that toggled the game runs far far better! ...and I suppose in the interim I did spend a few days cleaning up code and making it all slightly faster... so. 😂

So my plan has been to start releasing early access builds on itch at some point soon (donation not paid), and I knew that having it playable in-browser was a big benefit to reaching people there. Well recently I tried to make a build for browser... and it is a mess.

Prepping a html5 build with the intention of putting it on itch and it... Is really struggling. I'm not sure how deep the issue is yet but it may take a while to fix. I did not anticipate. Hell. #indiedev #BotHacker

I'm in my spreadsheet era. #gamedev #indiedev #BotHacker #RPG

More bot sketches. Fish bots and bug bots. #BotHacker #sketch #indiegame #conceptart #art

VFX shader work for self-destruct. I want to change how I'm doing the overlay on the bots to allow shadow/rim light but current don't have a method for doing alternate versions for foreground/background (just inverting sides) #screenshotsaturday #robots #indiegame #BotHacker #pixelart

More recent the robot sketches. First page is a gardening bot line, the second, for a planned radioactive zone. I particularly like the rust 'bleeding' eyes. The goo will be bright green as if they are vacuuming up toxic waste and it leaks back out. #indiegame #sketch #bothacker #gamedev #robots

I don't think I showed this screen previous but I've been updating this with attack element types. #BotHacker #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #robots #pixelart #gamemaker #aseprite #creaturecollector #rpg
