Finally implemented the doors for the elevator. Now I can do the old switch-a-roo to load the next level/area. That and another "event" to keep things visually more interesting. #indiedev #godotengine

Return of the boss fight. Trying something a bit different this time round. Not the easiest to control the camera in this fashion, but I think it works. #indiedev #godotengine

More work on the final alpha level. Gotta tackle that boss fight, but in the meantime here are some basic enemy encounters. #indiedev #godotengine

Nothing to see here, just working out some helicopter stuff.

Finally made some headway on the helicopter encounter. Still too much to do #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

Some smoke, explosions and a health bar later and the first pass is finished. Time to iterate...and have a short rest. #indiedev #godotengine

Took some time to do some art and learn how to use a pen tablet. Was fun but not without technical issues. Made with blender and krita. #lowpoly

Level 1 and 2 guard towers. #lowpoly #b3d

One more upgrade for the old guard tower. #lowpoly #b3d

Some C++/SDL tinkering. Collision, mesh animation and pathfinding working. Decided to try using a distance field for pathing. Going to be looking at audio, vfx next, but might have to throw in some prettier level geometry.

Some fun with particles. Was lazy and just used mini cubes. Billboarding quads are for another day.

A small test environment exported from blender. Using the custom properties to define the wall collision and enemy positions. Need to juggle the level data format around, but so far so good. #indiedev

Was debugging some collision issues and forgot I'd left the editor camera controls enabled in game. #gamdev #indiedev

Giving my encounter editor a test run. Not very pretty but it beats using a plain old text editor. Next step will be more visualisation of the levels/rooms. #indiedev #gamedev

Spent way too long getting 2d text and 2d healthbars to overlay correctly...but it is done. Huzzah!! Decided against using billboards as with this no need to worry about distance scaling/ #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Putting all that 2D overlay code to work showing reload progress, stamina drain as well as healthbars and damage numbers. Time is starting to enable more gamedev time than engine dev. (which is good and fun) #indiedev #gamedev

A bit more work on the in-game editor to atleast show a 2d view of the rooms as well as UI for displaying notifications on in-game events. #indiedev #gamedev

One of the challenges of rolling your own is always the lack of integrated WYSIWYG, but been having good fun using blender. It has been doing the heavy lifting until I fully implement the in-game editor (25% complete roughly) #indiedev #gamedev
