Reworked the lighting again.

All of the 'lights' you see in this video are just clever shader tricks on completely unlit geometry.

This is significantly more performant than using Godot's omnidirectional lights and dynamic shadows aren't really a concern for my art style.

WIP beam attacks.

After charging the attack you don't have to charge between shots if you don't miss.

It rewards precision with high damage potential.

Still working on it though, especially the VFX.

Better fire VFX for this creature

Haven’t been able to touch the game for a few days but I wanted to share this thing in motion. It was supposed to be ominous but maybe it’s just silly.

It should be more unsettling when I animate the mouths to chomp and chatter and finish designing its ranged attack.

Fixed the billboard particles so they work right with the 360 degree FOV.

Hardly noticeable change for some people but it was something I couldn’t overlook.

I am currently working on a properly windowed mode with a customizable bitmap font for the people who don’t want to play games in a real terminal.

Made a silly little roguelike in python last Friday for a “gamejam” (stress-induced mania).

Ended up being so fun that I’ve been polishing it up over the past several days. I think I’ll release it on itch.io this weekend, just because.

Messed up and didn’t actually post the video.

This is the point where I have to decide if I like the wavy map look
