Revive mechanic! You can bring back your friend, but it will cost you a whole heart. And if you don't have enough hearts, well... #gamedev #indiedev #coop

You'll get various weapons in RoboGAL: Gaga Delta Lady by defeating bosses. If you know how to use them wisely, you'll be able to overcome the challenges much more easily. (Even better than how I played in the video🤪) #indiegame #pixelart #robogal

Now you can lose! Poor fieldfare... But don't worry it's just an economic loss. #gamedev #indiedev

The level exit object is a giant bubble! And you need to peck it to pop it. Whoa, now you can actually complete levels! Music is temporary. #gamedev #indiedev

I reworked the camera progress system a bit into a more intuitive approach, so it detects the closest line segment instead of the closest node. #gamedev #indiedev

Camera now works with two players! The game will slightly prioritize the player closest to progress. If a player goes out of frame, they will fly-teleport to the other player. #gamedev #indiedev

I need something as a level exit object, like a flagpole or similar. Anyone got any suggestions? #gamedev #indiedev

Overworld multiplayer! Both players can move, but they always stick together. The player who presses a direction will lead, and the other will follow. #gamedev #indiedev

Gamepad support! #gamedev #indiedev

Overworld road propagation. And you can enter levels! And an overworld HUD! Wow! #gamedev #indiedev

Overworld system WIP #gamedev #indiedev

I don’t know how to market Copy Cats So here's some gameplay 🐱🐈

Just some work in progress level design and some panthers trying to be sneaky! #gamedev #indiedev

I've been refactoring the editors a bit. Not very spectacular, but important progress nonetheless. But now that I'm done with that, I can finally start working on the overworld system in-game!

Some people have trouble reading pixel-fonts. I added an "accessible font" option, which renders text on top of the upscaled graphics at a higher resolution, native to your device! The font I'm using is Inclusive Sans, rendered using MSDF. Such a cool technique! #gamedev #indiedev #accessibility

Pastblast: Resharing a small mixed-media painting from a while back. In "Nap Buddies", Dusk finds herself in the strangest situations at GMSA, not realizing Pippi would someday become one of her best friends. (Yet another strange situation....)

Selecting and placing road tiles manually sure is tedious! So I added a more convenient method. Now it's a breeze! #gamedev #indiedev

#ScreenshotSaturday Sometimes goal portals are locked, and you need to find a key to activate them. While any cat can pick up a key, only the protagonist can enter the portals. Wishlist Copy Cats on Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/4700300/... #gamedev #pixelart #indiedev #cats

First look at the overworld editor! It shares a lot of code with the level editor, but it's a separate program. Basic stuff works, but I can't save/load yet, and obviously I need to make the overworld work in-game. #gamedev #indiedev

this originally started out as a bug but then i figured - why not let the user swap between painting all shared hard-normal verts at once OR individually for crispier edges! (actually so happy with the radial segments that rotate to match the position of each vert face lol 🥵)

I've been posting some old concept art/sketches over on Ko‑fi! Why don't you check it out? ko-fi.com/labbed #gamedev #indiedev #conceptart

Working on the overworld/level select mode, which means I need a new file format, which means I need a new editor, and graphics, and... 😵 #gamedev #indiedev

For some reason this part makes me laugh 😂 Should I keep this ceiling thnail in the finished game? #gamedev #indiedev

I got myself a Ko-fi page! I posted a video there, just showing some gameplay. I will use Ko-fi to share some more in-depth dev stuff, like concept art and WIP assets. Please check it out if that sounds interesting! I could really use some money right now. Any amount is appreciated! ko-fi.com/labbed

Not sure how exciting this is to anyone, but I added a couple of event script functions that can trigger other events, synchronously and asynchronously. Comparable to custom subroutines or functions. Yay! #gamedev #indiedev

I choose to believe this is how most 90s arcade race tracks were initially conceived #gaming #retrogaming #arcade
