Factory with different properties - this is useful for spawning different types of enemies using one script, but different properties, all explained 😉

I'm working on a very simple scene for Defold to show example of movement + mouse to look around in 3D, used FreeStylized
textures for skybox and grass and @kaylousberg.bsky.social
models 💗

Do you have any suggestions?

Released Snake Descent! 🐍

It's a #turnbased #roguelike Snake, but with a Twist!

You collect upgrades and attach them to your body, but when it is cut off - you lose it! ✂️
But don't worry, lost parts are your Descent for respawn too! 🎂

Defold 1.11.0 Released! 🥳

As always, few of my highlights - this release is full of bug fixes and an important breaking change - removing scale along Z to make the workflow easier and more approachable for a cost of aligning with it, so read the details!

Adding upgrades:

🍎 - Hearthy Meal - makes every bite count! (eating heals)
🐍 - Venom Fang - your bites are now poisonous!
↔️ - Social Distancing - when enemy gets too close - it will step back.
