Been working on something different this week. A spreading infection-like system using arrays with BFS and frontier tracking, which allows it to run smoothly even in HUGE levels 💪

How cool is this?

I managed to convince Rotting Christ to let me use one of their tracks for the opening title in Obliterator-X!!!

Any plans to review the Movinkpad 11 Brad? 😁

This is what you end up with when your first game is a chill, wholesome puzzler and you want to make something completely different for the next one!

Demo's available in #NextFest

A bit of a boring post (hey, that's #gamedev!), but after reading through feedback from the O-X demo, the first update will include:

- rebinding
- aim assist
- auto-aim
- one-handed mode
- joystick switching

...and longer time in the first level!
