Did not feel this Flappy Oik game is fun, so decided to add some small changes. Learning Raylib/C++. g1ngercat.itch.io/flappy-oik

Sometimes need to leave current projects aside and create something simple using new tools for a rest break. Tried Raylib + C++ for simple Flappy bird clone. g1ngercat.itch.io/flappy-oik

Trying to boost up the juice of the game a little. Added an achievement/bounty menu that rewards you for collecting/destroying a certain amount of collectible. How do you juice up your game? #gamedev #indiedev #videogame #incremental #juice #godotengine #achievement

My match-4 one month project is feature complete! I wanted to add a story mode, network multiplayer, items, abilities, etc... but maybe I can do those in September. The rest of August is for character art and polish.

Very pleased to finish a project for once!

Adding first chalanges to this game. At the moment it is still jump&run, but I believe it could be more fun if there was something more, for example, shooting.

Some fun with #Monogame, a platformer clone of a popular game just for the fun.

- Tiled as tileset editor.
- ECS as architecture pattern.
- Monogame as engine.
- Assets by @ansimuz.bsky.social

- Because I wanted to create the systems myself for the fun of creating it from scratch.
Why Monogame?

Working on adding a Big Picture deck view screen where you can see all your cards and curios together. People asked for this to share their screenshots when they beat the game. They wanted to brag showing off their whole collection.

Was figuring out how to implement parallax in my engine with Monogame, ended up doing some drawing. Should be base for runing game.

Art Fight multiattack! God, it's finally done. Several days isn't a huge amount of time for a complex piece, but this is the most effort I've put into one for ages.

Full character list/details on the site, Bsky posts are so short: artfight.net/attack/11652...

#artfight #pixelart #ss13

A pixel art scene. Eight green, grey, blue or grey alien creatures are arranged in a space station bar. One is being violently yanked offscreen by the hands of a human character.
