Patch note for the next update: "You may now punch Fish"

Ashcroft was nominated for Best Fighting Game at too many games!

Bucky has been called a "Tragic, Meatball Romeo" - is Meatball Romeo a phrase that I haven't heard of, or is that just a fun adjective for this dumb lovable zombie?

Added spotlights, and cheering zombies! This makes the level feel a lot more (una)lively! #zombies #fightgames #fighter #platformfighter #indiedev #gamedev #retro #retrogames #arcadegames #multiplayergames #versus

New Level - Slampocalypse Now! It's a wrestling ring, where you can stand on the side ropes and hang off the jumbotron! Will be the new training mode, as well as a battle vs Julie in Story Mode, and vs Julie/Barda/Juggernatalie or a brawler variant of Sera in Arcade? Who knows! #gamedev #indiedev

Updating arcade mode. Noticed some pain points I could smooth out.

Adding in a Warning if you get too close to the screens edge, and splitting arcade mode into "Normal" and "Hard" paths.

I was told Ashcroft is like "Scott Pilgrim Vs The World mixed with Resident Evil 3"

Nintendo charging 80$ for a game while I'm here debating whether to charge 5$ or 10$, and feeling bad that I'm not just letting my art be free?

Listen, let's be real. Corporate games cost an arm and a leg, streaming seems to go up every month, books are like 20-30 dollars, but indie stuff, indie stuff is affordable.

Plus we do all the cool freak stuff you won't see in corporate stuff. Get better stuff for less money: support artists

Ok - I think I fixed the memory leak, and fixed the other issue where I destroyed all platforming in my platforming game. Fingers crossed - needs more testing but is looking promising

I love programming. Absolutely love it.

Made a minor change and broke something completely unrelated. No idea how or why, or how to fix it.

I am not great at posting. Been running around doing a little bit of everything, and honestly my game dev has all been behind the scenes work - nothing fancy
moshjason.bsky.social
Yeah - maybe if you darken/desaturate it slightly you'll still get that visual without being as Harsh?
moshjason.bsky.social
They both look really good!

The brighter one adds more flavour, but the original reads easier

Focusing on anything right now is hard.
