1-2 people indie game studio creating weird/horror games. Recently published 'The Nameless City' on Steam, a Lovecraft inspired adventure/walking sim game. You can play it here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/2987830/The_Nameless_City/
Programming some systems for the #Playdate game. It can save some variables in one scene (the player fell from the bridge) and read them on another scene (if the player fell, the enemies attack immediately). With this I can create more interesting levels.

Worked a bit more on the #Playdate game this week. Loading new levels, harming the player on the 'exploration' mode, etc.

I haven't posted in a while! I've been doing some code for an 'exploration' mode of the #Playdate game.

Doing the door sprite took me more time than it should, as it's a placeholder. But doing pixel art is fun.

Finished the basic lifecycle for the combat. You can kill enemies... But they can also kill you! And a placeholder message appears when that happens.

More #gamedev for the #Playdate game. Refactored the code to show a (placeholder) animation before updating the character vitality.

(Imaging that the roman numerals are the sprites of a cool attack animation).

Coding the combat loop. Still rough around the edges as there are no animations yet. At some point it will also have a description of what's happening on the left bottom corner, so everything is clearer.

Is #ScreenShotSaturday a thing on Bluesky too?

Haven't posted about the #Playdate game for a while, but I have been working mostly on some non visual stuff.

I didn't like the UI so I changed it. A friend did some #pixelart for the game too, so now it looks much better.

Tinkering with the #PlayDate again.

Lua is simple, but I spent a lot of time trying to find a 'good' way to organise and write code. Something that is hard to do when the language doesn't have typings and you have to rely on globals all the time 🫠
