If you like a good face slapper - here are some good ol' metal knuckles 👊

You can equip different weapons in my game.

My game is a aRPG Roguelite btw. ⚔️

🩸 Focused on making the core combat more responsive and integrating some new abilities for my aRPG #roguelite !

It's also cool seeing the new procedural loot drop - and change the character (stats and looks) 💪

Ah yes, the ALMIGHTY wet paper towel sonic speed sword 😂

Working on procedural item generation for my aRPG Roguelite and apparently now you can get these kinds of gems.

Should I tone down the madness, or is this exactly what an aRPG needs?

⚙️ Quick look at my aRPG Roguelite inventory system!

Getting the system right so every piece of armor can snap into place or be drag & dropped and instantly update the character's look!

Models are still placeholders*

Here's a quick peek at the Inventory and Upgrade screens for my aRPG Roguelite!👀
Cooking up something cool for anyone who loves serious stat-checking and optimizing - but you can always go with the "more greens in it" choice!😏

A little polish goes a long way! ✨

I've been hard at work refining the Stat and Skill Upgrade UI. This latest version provides a much more satisfying feel and is a big step up!

See the new look in action! 👇

⚔️💥 That moment when the upgrades finally kick in! Love the power fantasy feel of these new skills.

Showing off some fresh action from my aRPG Roguelite!

NEW logic added! 💥
My #scifi aRPG #roguelite now has Mana/Energy and new visuals for SPECIAL weapon and item skills.

I'm planing to add element affinity to the game, so here is also an example of light/radiant affinity skills.

After tons of testing. I felt that something was missing.
That I'm forcefully making a game that's supposed to be something else.

I've pivoted to an aRPG with #roguelite elements.

And it finally feels right!

I'm still working on some major, direction shifting changes for my game.
I will probably post some more info about it soon 🫡

I'm working on revamping the skill system for my horde game - basically in a more aRPG like style 🛠️

So no video this time, a janky screenshot will have to suffice 🥶

Testing new camera angles for my #SciFi horde game! Not sure if 3rd person perspective fits the vibe😅 Thoughts?

Things are getting more chaotic! 💥 Just added legendary "Spider Drones" to the upgrade pool, and enemies behave more unpredictable in my #roguelite horde game!

Here's a raw look at my roguelite game!
The horde is getting bigger, and the stakes are higher.

It's a bloody mess, but it's a fun one 🩸

Another day working on my game 🥰

🛠️ Spent the day creating a censor option for my game. Not all is done, but blood now turns to oil.

This aims to prevent algorithms from censoring my posts on other social sites.

My game is gory, but this setting can be useful either way.

A few seconds #wip #gameplay from my horde game at its current state.

I'm going to try and post a bit more of these type of videos, hopefully you will like them 🙂

Just make it exist first, you can make it good later

My game just got a UI refresh! ✨ New combat screen (with a Diablo-like health orb!) a slicker inventory, and pretty skill cards with cursed upgrades. What do you think?

It's a #WIP, but feels good! 👇

✏️And here is the current iteration of the combat UI for my gory #scifi action horde game.

Of course, this will probably change along the way, but I think it's a good starting point.

What do you think? Feedback is greatly appreciated. 😃
