Hay hay all... I am thinking I might be post less and just try make more of SOE rather than post samy stuff more and more... so updates are gonna get slower, but the project is still very much alive! #Indiedev

Not sure who wants a bit of debug info, but here’s one nugget... that’s all I’m saying :3 Fun trick: stun an imp, then hurl it into another. #IndieGame #UnrealEngine
Hay hay! 👋 Hey hey! 👋 Just another day clobbering imps while I tweak SOE 😅 Quick Q: when you explore a game, what sticks with you more, music or visuals? A killer score can totally flip a location; I remember some worlds mostly by their tunes 🎵 #GameMusic #Gaming
Hay hay! ✨ Finally got one enemy behaving how I wanted 👀 Thinking of adding reaction animations to show mood, and a dev suggested making hats react too, sounds fun 😄 Once foes do more than "walk" and "punch," you notice how much the player needs tweaking 😂 Game dev never ends. #GameDev #IndieGame
Hay hay! ✨ Hay hay! ✨ I wanted to keep movement while casting spells. The old system forced walking through inputs and felt clunky 😅 Now Mandy can move while prepping spells, so combat stays fluid. Small tweaks matter. #GameDesign #GameFeel
Hay hay! 👋 Making a hack 'n' slash taught me how many tiny systems must sync to make players feel powerful. It’s rarely one feature, dozens of small mechanics shape combat. SOE is slowly getting there! ⚔️✨ What moves make you grin. launchers, parries, finishers, or air combos? #IndieGame #SoloDev
I've been adding more personality to enemy types, not by upping AI, but via tiny reactions: surprised looks, panics when low on HP, and context-sensitive behaviors. Still tweaking and loving it. Enjoy the debug dump 😂 What makes enemies feel alive to you? #EnemyDesign #GameFeel
Hay hay! 👋 Hey 👋 I talked with other devs and had an idea for SOE's Magic Maker ✨ Instead of racing to enter a spell code, hold the input, take your time, and cast when ready. More fun imagine mixing runes to discover useful spells. Really excited! #MagicSystem #GameDev
Learned “vibe coding” saw it at work 😅 Genuine question: how do you fix or expand something you don't understand? I use AI for boring stuff: examples or to tidy my cursed C++ header. AI speeds typing and learning, but build the whole game? Not sure 👀 #Programming #Cpp #IndieDev
I'd rather fade into obscurity and make zero cash than wake up to vids called "SOE: the crappy DMC clone" 😭 Stylish combat inspires me, but I want SOE to feel like its own strange little game. What makes an action game memorable to you? #ActionGames #IndieGaming
There's something magical about pure baked lighting ✨ especially at night. The soft glow and cosy little pools of light just give it a vibe 😅 Maybe I'm old-fashioned. Which game's nighttime atmosphere is your favourite? 🌙 #IndieDev #Atmosphere
Was going to wait for Mandy's new animations... but I'm too happy with how SOE is looking 😄 The baked lighting and fake character shadows are finally coming together ✨ Back to the coding den I go! #StylizedLighting #FantasyGame #IndieGame

Showing more combat it's slowly getting where I want, each update brings it closer. I wish I could share more often, but life eats into dev time 😅 Still, I'm really happy with how SOE is shaping up. What attack always makes you smile in an action game? ⚔️ #HackAndSlash #3DPlatformer #UnrealEngine
Hey! Quick SOE update: I’ve refined the lock-on camera, much smoother, far less clipping. and snuck in a bunch of QoL tweaks. Going full C++ made Unreal click; big changes feel easier. SOE’s turning into my Sly Cooper x Devil May Cry mashup. More soon ✨ #IndieGame
Look at this drawing of Gremmy made by @littlelilotl.bsky.social 😭🩷 So so cute ! Thank you so much!!
[---DELTARUNE CHAPTER 5 SPOILERS (bleh)---] to be fair, what really is in that world?
Been quiet, but busy 👀 Working on enemy brains so the imps can wander, aggro, and finally fight back 😅 Soon they might even get personalities! #EnemyAI #ActionGame #IndieGame
Shader experiments 👀 Which do you prefer? 🎨 Toon/stylized 🕹️ Retro PS2/GameCube Both still need work 😅 #RetroGraphics #ToonStyle #GameArt
SOE is going really well though! The Sly-inspired movement is finally feeling good and the gameplay bugs are basically gone ✨ Ignore Rogue's leg freaking out. He has an itch. What do you think about Unreal 6? I still think UE4 was the sweet spot 🤔 #UE5 #3DPlatformer #GameDev
