Turns out I forgot to account for the PLAYERS hurtbox so we were spawning the sword hitbox, registering a false hit (that caused no damage, so we didn’t obviously detect it) on the player, & de-spawning in the same frame 🤦♂️
As always, the problem was me, i.e. the player object
Behavior is now fixed

Fixed a typo that was causing the inventory system to glitch out & occasionally crash. Adding objects to the world (e.g. the ring) that you can activate to add to your inventory. #pixelart
I’m giving myself ~1 hour of dev time every work night so progress has been admittedly glacial but consistent!

Every night I spend an hour on #Udemy learning how to make 2D pixel art games via #GameMaker.
Today we’re implementing some 2020s classic enemies: bats & murder hornets!

#GameDev Progress Report - September 22nd, 2025
I'm getting the basic framework of an inventory and equipment system. Fixed a bug where the objects were being added to the list but not being properly drawn. It has been years since I programmed professionally and EGADS it shows. #gamemaker

When the government abuses its authority, citizens have the right to oppose it. This is called the “Right of Resistance”…
…Further, they have the right to replace it. This is called the “Right of Revolution”.

#GameDev progress so far:
Working through some #Udemy courses around #GameMaker & 2D #pixelart whenever I’m off-the-clock.
So far I’ve made six levels of a 2D side-scrolling platformer & started a top-down Zelda clone.
Hoping to GITGUD enough to activate participate in some upcoming game jams!

Double-dipping with the QRPs
I feel that this moment from Princess Mononoke wherein Ashitaka catches an enemy samurai’s arrow & fatally returns it to the sender is more badass than most Shounen-style earth-shattering space-laser fights because of how grounded & clean it is. Sometimes less is more.

Minor gripe that I always notice, but does not affect my enjoyment whatsoever: when characters are not wearing the appropriate head gear for the situation they’re in. Usually it pertains to lack of head coverings, insulating or protective, when in an extreme weather or combat scenario, respectively
