@keysthings.bsky.social

Polished up the pogo mechanic. you can now pogo to hit the boss in the face to deal a good chunk of damage. Though you can still hit the head from the ground if you're skilled enough but its a fun challenge so i've left it in! #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame
Prototyping soem pogo mechanics for the boss, you can now bounce off the ground blades and falling swords if you attack straight down. if you can reach the bosses head and do the same thing, it deals a good chunk of damage! #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame

Still makin' progress, a lot of bugs with the boss have been fixed. Im also working on fixing up some issues with enemies spawning double in certain areas for some reason. Apologies for the slowdown in posts work's made it a bit difficult #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame
Went to replay through the game again and thought a pogo mechanic might make combat a bit more interesting. I've had it sitting in my list of ideas for a while, figured Id give it a shot and its kinda fun! Though lmk what you think #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame

Ive created a Cara account! Since this account is mostly for gamedev stuff(though this may change over time) I figure this would be a good place post my art junk for the time being #art #digitalart #illustration #cara cara.app/keysthings

Im not dead! I apologize for the lack of posts but a lot of the progess has mostly been behind the scenes. Some of it not related to the game itself. I'll post more when I have more time, its just been a lot lately. hope youre well! #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame

managed to fit the credits into the end scene cartridge, now theres no more transtion stutter! i just gotta get all the sound effects and music set up again #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame
Polishing up stuff for levels in the background and got the sfx and music working for the end credits (not that you can tell with a gif) #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame

Periodic reminder that you can find most #pico8 folks over at bsky and/or mastodon, and it's pretty nice over there: www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/superblo... Here's a pre-made PICO-8 feed: bsky.app/profile/did:...

Ultrakill gameplay streams (yes plural) from me will be in your near future! ™️ ⭐ p.s. everyone say thank you to @eliasdoesathing.bsky.social for introducing me lol
Working on polishing up the end scene for the game, and thought it might be cool to have a it used the demo's end screen since i liked the art. But im not to fond of the awkward transition that happens when loading. More testing is needed #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame

Fixing up some bugs with the boss, among them being that falling swords no longer hurt you if theyre in the ground. A friend said he felt like he'd dodged them already so having them still hurt felt unfair #pico8 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #pixelart #umbragame
