One of the examples I made for the #Hacktoberfest2025 is now live!

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?

Utilising AI for making NPCs remember your action and react to them? 🤔

💡 Make the game in any of the supported engines, use the SDK and join the Player2 AI NPC Jam by @elefantai to check how it could work out in practice and win prizes! 🎁

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! 🎂

Refreshed the visual assets for my Snake Descents 🐍

Managed to make upgrades be part of the snake body visually too!

✂️ If you lose your body part, you lose your upgrades too!

🔩Below Drill in action - with it you can walk through walls!

Kind reminder that alongside #MadeWithDefoldJam there is also @roguetemple
's Fortnight!

If you are making a #roguelike twist on a classic in #defold - submit it to both #gamejams! 🥳

I'm making #turnbased Snake Descent 🐍 with upgrades attached to body that can be bitten off!

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.

I'm so bad at making #procgen rooms, but here's my "attempt" 😅

Anyway, there's 2 new enemies:

🐀 rat bites off pieces of your body
🕷️ spider is same as rat, but can also climb walls!

If you die you can respawn in one of the bitten-off body parts! 🐍

Added 2 new enemies to Snake Descent 🐍

🦇 bat - hunts to bite you (and actually kills me a lot 😅)
💚 green slime that is harmless, but if you eat it - it is not good for your health 🤮

Day 1 of #MadeWithDefoldJam finished, I have:

🐍 #turnbased Snake clone
🍏 apples and pears to eat and get longer
👻 first enemy - ghost haunting you that can walk through you and walls, but good luck catching it! I played a bit with its AI and he's great escapper 😅
