Mike transforms into Lo-Fi. He runs on his own here and starts off at a slow enough speed, but each time you pass an "!" mark, you (and the music) speed up by 0.10. Mike's in a rush to get to his bro's apartment so, try to speed up and get their quick. #PanicAttackRpg, #indiegame, #rpg, #rpgmaker
The Manic Minds of Mike and May: Panic Attack!
@zerobeat032.bsky.social
hey, indie game dev here! working on a turn based rpg called Panic Attack! that's ultimately about getting the gang together for one last adventure... inside someone's mind. Also expect random stuff at times. #rpg, #indiedev, #indiegame, #PanicAttackRpg
Costco on a Saturday is a sensory nightmare. chest actually hurts being in places like this when it's this crowded. yeah, I'm not ever doing this again if I can help. whole nervous system is outta wack now.
I've been quietly working on stuff and have a lot to show off soon. but for now, here's a shot of a party crasher. looks like the rap battle got interrupted... #rpg, #indiegame, #rpgmaker, #PanicAttackRpg
Just realized with a that event signals Plugin for rpg maker mz, that you can basically use it to fake a hit box. attach a signal to you and add an exact range, then trigger that range within another event and you can have destructible objects, hit enemies, etc...
in Panic Attack!, exploration works a bit different compared to most rpgs. once you leave the apartment complex after the opening, the idea is to explore and engage in events with different characters in the game. think of it less like going town to town, but npcs starting a new arc.
Moments from disaster during the rap battle taking place in your older brother's apartment complex. Came to win a VHS tape, stayed to see a weary wizard named Wade... #rpg, #indiegame, #PanicAttackRpg, #rpgmaker
you can hear the crowd getting ready as things are about to begin with "Manic Mike" vs. "Wade the Wizard". there's some interesting people here spectating too... #panicattackrpg, #rpg, #indiegame, #rpgmaker
Wade's got bars so serious that getting hit by them causes anxiety. but don't let them get to you so you can steal his hype... rap battles, am I right? #rpg, #indiegame, #panicattackrpg, #rpgmaker
You can switch party leaders at anytime. each have a distinct advantage as party leader. also, Ray's got a new running animation, the battle intro is updated for whether Mike or Ray is the leader, and a certain someone slashes thru the screen to start battles. #screenshotsaturday, #indiegame, #rpg
Assist Me! During battles, your third party member primarily acts as an assist. When there's at least one assist level, tag in your friends. If you ask them to act before they're turn, they'll ask if you're rushing them. keep it up and they'll just go off on you. #PanicAttackRpg, #indiegame, #rpg
Stock up Mental Psyche to add follow up a friend's attack. you can do it by blocking for one. Now if your friends do certain combos, someone can follow up with their own attack, like Mike does here. Use MP to your advantage to get as many actions as possible. #PanicAttackRpg, #indiegame, #rpg
Battling on 88th street, everyone's trying to look cool after the fight. #rpgmaker, #indiegame, #PanicAttackRpg, #rpg
I'm still wondering if there's a way in rpg maker mz to make animations play above one person, but below another... can't seem to figure that out in MZ thanks to animations working differently. #rpgmaker
I feel bad for the devs and people who just enjoy SNK games. so many awesome things going on with them these days, simply tainted because of who owns them. I can't even feel good about AoF getting new characters because of the Saudi issue. I absolutely NEED them to find a way out of this Saudi shit.
We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.
Battle on 88th Street again the Pawn gang, aka Wade's goons. Seems he control Autumn Bay Falls these days. Gotta put these clowns in check. #indiegame, #rpg, #rpgmaker, #PanicAttackRpg
sorry I've been so quiet folks. been doing a lot of work to the structure of the game and I've FINALLY figured it out. so I haven't worked on much outside of tweaking a lot of what's already been worked on. soon tho, I'll show of some stuff.
fun fact about Panic Attack!... the music you hear in game is actually what's playing in Mike's headphones. Basically whatever he deems appropriate music for the situation at hand.
During a chapter, you follow things "page to page" and explore each area. you may even find new ones while exploring old ones. Tho, with Mike being under some "influences", leaving areas triggers his brain in ways he doesn't understand. Mike's mind truly is Manic now. #rpg, #indiegame
I need somewhere I can write devlogs cause I've gotten SO much done since I last really posted anything. Here you see Mike's changed into his alter ego, LO-FI in order to see the true form of the void in front of him... all while a mysterious girl looks on. #rpg , #indiegame, #PanicAttackRpg
Eddy bungles the transition for King Cable... Shame on them. #rpg, #rpgmaker, #indiegame, #PanicAttackRpg
week is still pretty bonkers... but I've gotten some stuff done here and there. I'll show it off maybe tomorrow. for now... Time to faceoff with Mary Mars McQueen, aka Triple M!.
very minimal work done this weekend... been dealing with an emergency the last couple of days and well. I'm exhausted, working on my game can wait. just glad things are heading in a better direction finally. I did do some basic map setups tho during my little moments of downtime. might show those.
Mike shouldn't have ate one of Andre, aka Noise's, muffins... This actually ties into the gameplay mechanic of your mood. The entirety of the game, Mike needs to either be calm or hype. If he gets anxious, his environment changes. and if he panics... oof. #PanicAttackRpg, #indiegame, #rpg
Some people here have a bond with the symbiotic void aliens. They're called "Ideas" once bonded to you. Mike can use his Idea, Lo-Fi to help him. Use MP to gain an extra action and the Panic Meter to unleash your Ideas on the foes. Whatever you do, just don't Panic over it... #rpg, #indiegame
Well... that's one way to merge your void self back with your human self. Mike seems anxious about it tho... #PanicAttackRpg, #indiegame, #rpg, #rpgmaker
the main hurdle right now is setting up everything visually it seems. once I get everything going transition wise, I'll start showing stuff again.
making a video game by yourself is difficult... lol
why has no one made an edit of Ramlethal's Strive theme that only has the first 2 minutes... I'm legit not into the rest of the song at all lol. I just need the stuff that reminds me of Bitches Crystal from ELP and we can call it a day lol.
I just realized that only doing the second filter phase to pictures of characters, instead of both leads to stuff like this screenshot... Mike's a lot lighter with his in game sprite and I'm noticing it's only doing that to Mike and Dre. Aight, redoing all the characters to only have one filter set.
