Working on the game over screen—adding score and wave info to help players track progress. Might keep high scores for a bit of extra motivation, still testing. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Spent some time tweaking the game over screen. The music’s just placeholder, but I like how the wave shooting visuals turned out—simple, clean, effective. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Got the PS1-style pixelation effect working on UI elements. Here’s the main screen of Cloaked Protocol — feels good to see that retro vibe come to life. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Refactored the inventory system—now it's more intuitive to manage and easier to maintain. Small steps, but they add up to a smoother experience. #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

Wrapped up the rigging and weight painting for the PMC soldier. It’s a small step, but it’s good to see the character come to life with proper movement. #CloakedProtocol #IndieDev #RetroGaming

Our PMC soldier isn’t just about firepower—cyber enhancements give him the edge in stealth and awareness. Front or back, he’s built for the shadows. #CloakedProtocol #StealthGame #RetroGaming #IndieDev
