#gamedev Blue orbs are used to unleash a shockwave when you swing with no target nearby. You’ll need to position your sword carefully to send the wave in the right direction #indiedev #pico8

#wip #pico8 Instead of swinging the sword, you can hold the attack button to lock its position and lunge at the monsters

You can try the pico8 version right now : www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=149... I have no way to know for sure if I'm the first one to test this... Also, I'm not a 3D gamedev but I would be curious to see what happen if you play a FPS this way

Taking different routes won't save you from protecting your own flag. If you wait to defend you will still have to deal with your late clones using the same strategy. Finally, using different route is just a better way to memorize your previous moves.

I'm working on a punkcake version of my #pico8 prototype Frontline. Battle against an army of yourself and reach the flag before your previous self does. #gamedev #indiedev It's the late punkcake of august, soon available at @punkcake.club

I tried it after reading your comment but I was annoyed with clone vanishing on older flag points, and also the fact than their move was even less predictable. It's hard to keep track of everything...

no win condition, you have to make as many clone as possible without dying.

Benjamin Soulé @benjaminsoule.bsky.social · Jun 13

#pico8 #gamedev #indiegame I finished the prototype and named it Frontline. Each time you get the opponent flag you add a clone to the battlefield and switch team. Try it out : www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=149...

Still working on my game, If Letters Had Pants, Would They Wear Them Like This? 👖

Do you think it's a good thing if you start spending too much time playing the game instead of making it? 😅
