Playing around with swarming. To prevent overcrowding, I enabled avoidance and also gave each enemy a designated "angle" around which to target the player (instead of the player's position itself). The result is funny with this many enemies, but with a handful it should feel organic

I've been playing a lot of Hades II, so naturally I booted up #godot and started making a new prototype based around that kind of gameplay.
Lots of questions to answer at this point about what it should be, but it has been interesting to develop something that uses an orthographic perspective!

Refactored the battle logic and figured out a better way to handle 2D sprites in a 3D world with rotatable camera. The neat thing is I only need 2 versions of each animation: front and back facing. I can flip either of those horizontally to account for the other two angles

Been trying to draw a little more recently as I've been struggling to latch onto a new game project. Here's a couple Trapezoids in perspective boxes. Gotta push myself to draw more kinds of stuff though.

Up to 5 reviews for Critter Drifters (although there's actually 7, dunno what that's about)
All positive so far! With some fair criticisms too, but I'm pretty happy with the consensus so far. If you've played it, please consider leaving a review! Getting to 10 makes Steam boost it in the algorithm.

Now that Critter Drifters is out, I've been spending more time on the "what next?" question. Still exploring ideas, but I'm finding myself drawn to a casual RPG with turn-based battles.
Think a mix of Mario+Rabbids, Paper Mario, and Final Fantasy Tactics.

I would love to make a casual RPG like Paper Mario one day. But that is very, VERY daunting. So what I'm doing is making a bare bones "engine" without any graphical polish, characters, or story consideration.
Given enough time and effort, maybe something will come of it!

Critter Drifters is OUT on Steam! You can play it! On Windows or Linux or Steamdeck! Right now!!
Or you know...whenever you want to. I'm just glad I can finally let people play the whole thing.

40 mins! Technically I could do it now but Steam lets you specify the hour and I kinda want to do it exactly then.

It's nice to see some hockey stick action in this graph. Goes to show how much being in #NextFest or other events makes a difference. I unfortunately missed out on the racing game one a couple months ago but I'm pretty happy with how this is going so far.

Only a couple days til Next Fest! I updated the demo to end off in the main hub of the game recently, as I realized it ended kind of abruptly otherwise. Also made it so you get that beautiful tire screech even without drifting when doing a super boost :P
