Very little progress this week, just some minor improvements to my custom menu
#indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #godotengine

My custom menu has the most basic functionality implemented. Now I only need add the rest and make it look good. #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly

New this week: Added acceleration to keyboard controls to make aiming easier, added simple shock wave effects to explosions. #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

I wrote a short post about building a custom arcade cabinet for Hyper Ultra Astronautics:

I happened to make a new single player #1 high score in Hyper Ultra Astronautics while a recording video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bmk9WGkftUk

You're welcome to beat that! Get the game on @itchio: https://fractilegames.itch.io/hyper-ultra-astronautics

Hyper Ultra Astronautics tip for #screenshotsaturday: Disruptor weapon can prevent bosses from firing while other co-op players take it down. A new beta update coming soon. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #shmup #stg

Changed to a slowly rotating view of the paused match behind the menu to make it look "more alive" in the arcade cabinet. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #gamemenu #arcade

Here's my latest distraction from working on finishing the game itself. First time in playable condition. #indiedev #diy #arcade #bartop #arcademachine #screenshotsaturday

A quick post-jam update to my #LinuxGameJam2019 game: Added basic mouse control and option to invert pitch direction. Binaries on @itchio: https://fractilegames.itch.io/maze-flyer. Source code on GitHub: https://github.com/fractilegames/mazeflyer #godotengine #gamejam #opensource #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

It's done! I just submitted my #LinuxGameJam2019 entry: Maze Flyer. Very unfinished, but playable. You can already download it here: https://fractilegames.itch.io/maze-flyer #gamejam #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

I've been working on something for #LinuxGameJam2019. Two days to go and so much stuff missing 😅 #gamedev #linux #godotengine

Discovered a nice unplanned feature when I "killed" the player ship over a hole in the ground #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegamedev #gravity

Here's my very early game prototype in action. I need to make more track sections to see how mixing them works in practice. And implement collisions, shooting and tons of other stuff. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

I have a new laptop (still only Intel's integrated GPU) that finally runs my own game at smooth 60fps in QHD resolution! I'll test 4K later.. #screenshotsaturday #lowpoly #localmultiplayer #shmup #gamedev

2018 was a slow #gamedev year for me, although I did _almost_ finish Hyper Ultra Astronautics. I wish my lost motivation comes back and the next year will be much more productive.

Anyway, here's some #fireworks for #newyearseve!

Switched to trusty old waypoint based driving approach and it seems to be working a bit better.. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

Anyone planning a #localmultiplayer #gaming session this weekend? Check out Hyper Ultra Astronautics on @itchio: https://fractilegames.itch.io/hyper-ultra-astronautics I'd be interested in hearing your feedback! #couchgaming #indiegame #shmup #feedbackfriday

My babies trying to follow the race line and maintain set speed at the same time. This is going to need a lot of work.. 🙄

Dug up my old #godotengine project and added speed guides to help computer players brake in time (pre-calculated on scene load). Dot colors indicate "speed recommendations" from green to red. Not actually used yet. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev
