Completely revamped the title font today. Went for something blockier and more readable - the old ornate version looked nice but had an awkward word layout. To be honest, the ridiculously long game title is to blame!

Worked on the title screen typography today. Pretty happy with the gothic base type - still not sure about the colors and the small text though.

New enemy type! I actually wanted to make a simple up-and-down moving sawblade, but what came out instead is a bunny with supernatural jump power. It’s got sharp teeth, too - two of them.

Spikes. Dangerous! Wrong shoes = instant death! Next step: figure out a reliable way to coordinate all the obstacles …

My game has snails now. What you do with them is entirely up to you.
I also upgraded the HUD - speed is now shown in horsepower (hp).
The knight got a bit sportier … he can duck now, too.

My game’s got gnomes now - the nasty kind. The ones that hover around and shoot at you for no reason … with giant Q-tips.

Making good progress! Added the first HUD elements and two new enemy types: an arrow (still missing its archer) and one (way too) fat budgie. The place’s starting to feel alive!

I’m working on new enemies for my minigame. Here’s the flight animation of a falcon - or maybe a brown budgie? At a certain resolution, it’s hard to tell.

My minigame now has classic coins! You’ll be able to trade them for upgrades later on - more stamina, extra power, a shield … you name it.
Next up: HUD elements and enemies.

Switching from #Construct3 to #Godot was totally worth it. Rebuilt everything in just 4 days.
Godot feels super solid on the Silicon Mac and is way less complicated than I expected. I think I’ll stick with it!
Turns out the ZIP file from #ChatGPT just caused a crash - so, no Skynet (yet). #gamedev

Me - a total non-programmer - asked #ChatGPT to convert my current #Construct3 project into a #Godot project. One I could just open in Godot and hit play.
Now I’m staring at the screen, with a finished ZIP file in front of me.
Let’s hope Skynet wasn’t involved …

The end is near! Only one event left. Should I stick with Construct 3 and move to the paid version?
I do like Construct 3, but the event system feels a bit clunky at times. Plus, the scrolling in my game was pretty choppy.
Maybe I should give Godot a try before I decide …

Simple 3x5 pixelfont for HUD and other ingame stuff.
Tried making pixel fonts on the iPad with Pixquare - worked perfectly!
Sure, these fonts exist online already, but sometimes it’s just fun to make them yourself.

Activision’s ”Park Patrol“ is a hidden #C64 gem for me - accessible gameplay and a beautifully crafted, peaceful setting. Raises environmental awareness without wagging a finger. Smart! 🥫

Another TrueType recreation of a C64 font – this time from Konami’s Yie Ar Kung-Fu. I recreated this charset with TypeTool 3, and unlike yesterday’s Gauntlet, it stays crisp even at 8 pt/px.

I just dug up some old C64 charsets from my hard drive that I converted into a TrueType font over 10 years ago.
Here’s the charset from the game Gauntlet. You can download it from my server if you’d like:
