If you time well, you can chain several [ground pound] -> [recoil-dash] -> [double jump] and cross even wider gaps. (obviously not mandatory anywhere in the game)

#Untarctica oddity #2: you can stick to walls indefinitely, with no slide. Also, "wall jump" and "wall climb" are two different states

Looting random junk. (Player character is still a blue creature for now)

#Untarctica oddity #1: Instant respawn after death; invisible checkpoints everywhere; no "lives"

A 3-state combo to clear large gaps that uses a wall jump at the start

Some more WIP stuff.

Testing out LightmapGI and making some janky trees and psx style, cardboard cutout bushes.

Please, ignore the blue creature. (I haven't made a character model, yet.)

Screenshot of a WIP outdoors map: foggy cliffside area with broken staircase and a cobblestone road leading from the cave's entrance, to a rocky outcrop. The blue creature illuminates the scene with a yellow-green light. Screenshot of a WIP outdoors map: a cliffside area atop the previous one. Thick vegetation and dead trees block the path to the right. In the background, there are stone cauldron torches, burning with a light blue flame; a crucifix, and some more wooden stakes. The blue creature is hiding in the bushes, quite poorly.

You can jump again during the recoil-dash window (hero becomes red)

Is there a good genre name for 2D platformers with a bunch of bullets on screen?
Technically it's not quite a "bullet hell" like Touhou or Ikaruga.
Would it still make sense to use #bullethell as a Steam tag anyway?

Here are some of the character state changes involved in crossing this small pool.
The most novel one being the recoil-dash, during which you can perform a double jump

Excellent little project from the very same @hexanyives.bsky.social behind all the awesome graphics/writing/sfx in #untarctica

A little sideproject I'm messing around with.

Would you play a CRPG with Quake/Hexen-like aesthetic?

Screenshot of a WIP outdoors map: foggy, cliffside scene with wooden crates, barrels and stakes scattered around. Two bright, light blue flames illuminate the path to the staircase. A glowing green plant is seen in the distance. Screenshot of a WIP indoors map: dungeon room illuminated by four light blue flames and an exit leading outside. Next to the exit, there is a puddle of grimy liquid. Two wooden crates are placed nearby a stairway going upwards into the darkness. Screenshot of a WIP outdoors map: foggy scene of a stone bridge leading to the fortress ruins. Screenshot of a WIP indoors map: cave illuminated by glowing mushrooms and a bright exit leading outside. There is a barrel and a large brick wall next to the mushrooms.

So #trailerTuesday huh?

We wanted one of these "pushback" bosses like Crocomire or Belcha for #Untarctica. Only, instead of an actual boss, this one will probably be a recurring puzzle/environment element.

Quick question from a total social network noob: how important/mandatory is it to also post to twitter and threads/instagram for indie devs?
I'm not dying to post stuff there tbh, but am willing to if it's be beneficial enough.

Supporting mouse wheel for custom control bindings was a huge mistake

Having just added, hm... MIDI controller support to a 2d platformer/shooter, I'm rethinking my whole last tweet about acting on basically any player suggestion lol

A cool aspect of having such a small community is that you can act on basically any player suggestion. Like, I just added mouse button controls to a 2D platformer, and I have no idea why

The starting of a function implementation in godot engine that gets the correct icon of a mouse button.
