Previously, fast-moving units were difficult to target, now, with the new targeting system, any enemy craft within your selection area will be automagically queued as targets for your currently selected ship. Even fast movers can’t escape now! 😈

Sometimes what changes us the most isn’t the big twist, but a single line that invites us to see things differently.

Fred, the koala, listens while Goobu, the bear, throws him a direct question as he fishes. Scene from the visual novel A Day at the Lake.

I've already initialized the Vulkan API, as mentioned in my previous post about my GameDev journey-building a pet 2D mini engine using Vulkan API and C#.

Today, I successfully completed the device creation step,
and it feels really great! 😊

Quick look at some of the capabilities exposed:

Added static enemies that exist in the world, plus the ones that spawn and attack your town.

The loop is tower defence > build a strong enough city > explore the world Diablo style > return with loot to upgrade towers.

I've been working on the rest of Stage 2 this week. It's almost done, so next week I'll start making the boss. I started around mid-August, so I guess each stage takes me about two months.🔨

I was playing 𝗪𝗮𝗿𝗖𝗿𝗮𝗳𝘁 𝗜𝗜𝗜 𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗱 a while ago. I was losing a one-on-one fight, and instead of accepting defeat, I also hit some random 𝗽𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗳𝘂𝗹 𝗡𝗣𝗖𝘀 to save face and claim to the audience that I was ganged up on when I finally lost the 𝘄𝗮𝗿.

Haven't touched my project for 2 weeks now, tho I'm still doing other gamedev related thingy helping a friend on the Vulkan project in C# 🤭 but I'm kitbashing some new ship for my RTS game in Godot.

DexterZ 🎮 @dexterz.bsky.social · 15d

Seems like it was just yesterday, a must play on Wii U, including TTP HD. I hope both will be released on Switch 2.
