Prototyping stuff for a new project has been really fun! (Also a minor PITA, but that's just part of the process)

Since the player starts and spends most of their time *inside* the elevator, I opted for a simple way of relaying the main gameplay loop.

I also used the elevator for some light environmental story-telling

I've been racking my brain on how to inform the player that the floor is complete when I ultimately decided on the simplest solution: A little notification with a jingle!

I'm really happy I stuck with a small, simple concept for this game. It gave me the room to learn while I was putting things together for the first time

These next couple of weeks are going to be bug-fixing focused for sure. 🐜 #gamedev

The store page was approved! So, at some point tomorrow, I'm going to set the page live on Steam. Exciting stuff 🥳 #gamedev

Today marks a month since I started working on my game. I'm getting close to the finish line on this, and I'm just happy I was able to stay within my timeline #gamedev

Honestly how I felt after hearing the sound of a Steam achievement popping in my game

I forgot how obtuse steamworks integration can be sometimes ⚰️

One of the things that's been exciting about this whole process is putting together scripts and fsms that I can utilize in future projects #gamedev

The Cursor Confine acting up is going to be the end of me 💀

See how far you've come on your custodial journey with a convenient tracker in the elevator! 🔢 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

Working on the Steam page has been a process, but it's fun to keep stretching the ol' creative muscles for it.

Unsurprisingly, taking the extra bit of time this go around to properly title and comment on my assets/code has been a godsend #gamedev

What everyone in the world's always wanted. A room with randomized rubbish in it! #gamedev #indiegame

Making decals for wall art has been a creative blast because I get to make silly stuff like this: #gamedev

Make your own options from scratch, I said
It'd be fun, I said
(Okay, it's a little fun, but still 😭) #gamedev

I've been tackling the main menu of my game these past few days and I think it's getting to a better place!
