So, recently I updated my style for Time Fracture!
The game has a Tomb Of The Mask vibes and it supposed to be for mobile (Android first, need to handle iOS, never did before!)

These tip are very helpful! I know python, gdscript and c# - intermediate
But when it comes to c++..... totally fear ahahah

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · Aug 8

I should practice.morw c++ tho, I get panicked when I open and everything is there, like 300+ Lines of code

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · Aug 8

I just need to get better in c++ I guess, I know things but when everything is together I start to panic

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · Aug 7

I tried to look at the source but unfortunately it gets very confusing for me, but I would love to learn more about it :(

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · Aug 6

Are you reeeeadyyy???

Another level for my game, is missing some sprites, the invisible tiles supposed to be something that shoots, but not fully implemented yet

Development is going well!

HELP! I need a #pirxelartist that wants to help me to create a tilemap for my game! #TimeFracture!

Obviously paid, but please, not crazy expensive! you can find the game in my page!

I'll probably need more in the future.
Check the style first please!

Thank you!

I spent so much time for this stupid mechanic, the player didn't keep the rotation, it was so simple and yet my brain couldn't wrap it around.
I had to use the global rotation.

Interesting, I once did it with area2D, when the player was going out the whole mechanic was triggering

Unbelievable buy my game, time fracture, has for the first time the saving in the cloud! I deleted the local savings system because Google handles everything!

func _get_configuration_warnings() -> PackedStringArray:
var warnings := PackedStringArray()

if !is_instance_valid(texture) || texture == null:
warnings.append("Missing sprite as sprite node")

update_configuration_warnings()
return warnings

let's say we want that our game designer need to specify the texture

@export var texture: CompressedTexture2D:
set(value):
texture = value
if sprite:
sprite.texture = texture
update_configuration_warnings()

here we can create our configuration warnings method (it's virtual)

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · Jul 6

it's been a long time since the last post, I've been busy with my personal life

but here is a hint... Do you know the warning icon in your node tree in #Godot? Well, you can create your own warning!

Use your script as a tool, @export your variable and use the setter method!

Godot will soon have specular occlusion from AO and lightmaps which will allow for much better looking reflections in interiors

I don't have anything with anyone, but who gives you permission to come on my page and start to annoy me without any reason? I don't care if you're straight, gay, trans or whatever. Just don't bother, I left twitter for this reason and now I get attacked because I ask Gemini some logic for my game

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · May 3

Good to know, now go to play dragon age and stop bothering people

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · May 3

You came here to bother me, I don't mind if people play it. Everyone's free

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · May 3

And yours is still a very stupid comment.

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · Apr 30

The process of making a game is to make fun, if people find it enjoyable by putting LGBTQ stuff inside, I don't understand why I can ask the AI to help me to crack some logic that I'm not aware of. Your comment is very stupid
Copilot is autocompletation btw

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · Apr 30

Good, didn't expect it for people to play anyway. I'm not an expert and sometimes I get confused with logic, asking some hint is different than making a whole game with AI. I'm an artist myself, I worked in so many movies and I refuse ai, asking to explain something is like doing a Google search

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · Apr 24

No, you can use as many moves as you want, but you can die on some levels. Also you need to collect all the capsules.
There's also a speedrun mode, I'm planning to add a leaderboard for the fastest levels
I'm also making an arcade mode, with infinite level and more chances to die + time and score

42 Games Lab @pixeltidesgames.bsky.social · Apr 23

Yes it is! I really love TOTM and I spent so much time on it that I wanted to take inspiration and make my own one! :)
