Levels will be manually created later down the line, but randomizing spawns should keep it interesting even on the same level! Look at how quick that algorithm is, baby! 😎 (Yes, it's buggy!) #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Today's focus was on refining the knockback from being hit, and make it feel better gameplay-wise as it was quite rough even if functional. Both hitscan weapons and projectiles knock other players back. Take a looksie! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Grumpy Grandpas is going well so far, this time destructible terrain is active and in action! Next up is to add some proper knockback when you hit another player. Here's a quick look at the inventory placeholder, and destructible terrain. 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Snack Chads is out! Play through 4 levels, and experience my take on the Mario-style platformer. Speed run it, take it slow, or try to break the game. Feel free to share your high score! Play it here: problem-18.itch.io/snack-chads #indiedev #gamedev #godot

I feel locked in! 😎 Can't show it all but I got lots of stuff working already! Hitscan weapons, (charging) projectile weapons, inventory, ... Next up are destructible terrains! Full of placeholders, but technically progressing well! Take a look. 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Took me way too long how to figure out properly flipping the weapon with the player but I got it! There's also a small crosshair now, and hitscan shooting! Take a look at my beautiful placeholders! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

#GMTK game jam results are in! Festillagers didn't score the best, but with the obstacles it went through, I am proud of the result. Looking forward to next year! ☺️ itch.io/jam/gmtk-jam... #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Learning and creating as I go, first time creating some kind of weapon equipment system. It's tricky, but very doable! Here's the player equipping and shooting a revolver and shotgun... Well, in quotations, at least! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

The next game approaches! I'm calling it "Grumpy Grandpas". Yes, exactly what it sounds like: A Worms-like game, but the worms are grumpy old grandpas. Destructible terrains, projectiles, hitscan weapons, turn based gameplay. Lots to learn! 👴 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

As always, with a new game, comes a new development post. This time we dive deeper into composition, the player controller, game juice, and more! I also admit to some struggles in there. 😅 Read it here: problem-18-dev.github.io/snack-chads-... #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Development of Snack Chads | Problem 18

A look at the development of Snack Chads. From all the hurdles to all the celebrations! Featuring composition vs. inheritance, the player controller, and more.

Unfortunately I overscoped for the game jam, but I did my best regardless and still think it's something fun! Take a look at my #GMTK entry 😁: problem-18.itch.io/festillagers #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Have a go at it! 😎 Around 5 people have managed to break the game so far, not that that a good thing. 🤔 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Currently working on the @gamemakerstoolkit.com game jam for the second day! In the meantime, we present the following message 🥸: Snack Chads is out! Play it here: problem-18.itch.io/snack-chads #indiedev #gamedev #godot

With Snack Chads' release, comes an announcement blog post! A quick look at how the theme of the game came to be. After the upcoming @gamemakerstoolkit.com game jam, I will post a development blog as well. 😊 Read here: problem-18-dev.github.io/snack-chads-release #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Game's 99% complete! All that's left is to add some high scores, and Snack Chads will release tomorrow. I'm very much looking forward to everyone giving it a go! 😊 Here's a look at the main and pause menu. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Fixed a lot of bugs, also added particles, screen shake, sound effects.. Improved various gameplay elements and levels! I'm looking forward to letting everyone have a go at it soon. In the meantime, here's a slowed down GIF of the squishy landing! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Developed all the levels! I decided for the final boss (Bowser-equivalent) to be an angry mom. Angry because you keep buying snacks! Take a look at the gameplay of the final level here. 😁 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Almost done with creating the second level! I'm getting close to finishing this game's development. All that's left is to create the remaining two levels, add some sound effects, probably some bug fixes too! Take a peek at the second level! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Going to join the @gamemakerstoolkit.com jam next week! By then I’d like to finish developing Snack Chads, and focus on game #7 after the jam. Looking forward to it! #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Today was spent on finalizing the art for the first level of Snack Chads. After this, I will only be spending time working on new levels, and sound effects. I cannot wait to release this game. I say it every time, but this is my best one so far! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

The game no longer looks like a placeholder! I've added some parallax backgrounds (clouds), and experimented for the first time with pixel art shading to make it less simple. Take a look at the first level! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Can't show much today as most of the work is technical, but I now have the player persist their upgrades through pipes and rooms! Next up is to work on some level designs! Take a quick look. 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Fixed major bugs today, but I also spent a lot of time on improving art and the game's feel. I made my first ever "animation", where the character does something without the player's input. With that, take a look at a level's end animation! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Fixed various bug fixes today involving collisions and enemies! They're hard to show off so have a look at the revised art for the consumables. Meet the backpack, energy drink and lolly pop! The energy drink turns you invincible and full of stars! 💫 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Working on improving the general art of the game, this time it was the blocks, the pipes and the biker's turn. Here's a quick look at today's work! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

First time using a shader! I took it off of godotshaders.com, and have a nice effect for when the player's invincible (star powerup). Additionally, take a look at the final art for the "phone people"! 😁 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Finally, an update after long period of silence. Last time I worked on Snack Chads, most of the gameplay was finished. So the next two weeks I will be focusing on art, and polish. Here's the player's art, no more placeholders, ayyy! 😁 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

My apartment's finally settled. It's been like two months, wtf 😭 I'm back and going to steadily start getting back to working on game #6, Snack Chads. Apologies to anyone following my journey and not seeing any updates. Step by step, we'll be back. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Currently very busy moving to my new apartment, can't wait to peacefully sit down and make some progress on Snack Chads! I still have a long way to go in the entire challenge. Apartment's awesome btw! #indiedev #gamedev #godot
