#RememberYourOath proving ground animation testing is going...

Well.

This game is now about Yoga.

After watching the recent Connor Conquer's video on #Rimworld, I have returned to the game after a long time.

It is going well.

Unity Programmers of Bluesky, I have a question on composition.

Is it a good or otherwise okay architecture practice to break up entity components through interfaces? See screenshot for examples of how I am doing this.

Any pitfalls I should be aware of?

So welcome home (Lord or Lady we don’t know yet) Denning, the Congo African Grey. I am sorry you just missed the sweetest Amazon to ever live, but you’ll find all the love and care and happiness in the world waiting here for you.

There is a certain point in Vampire Survivor where the game just kind of falls away, and you’re left with a collage of colours and numbers. The game ceases to really be interactive and becomes a visual dopamine explosion.

"Alright, time to test the wave-spawn system."

Clearly, there is an bug somewhere.

Fun extended video with some added Juice.

Also, some bugs, like how bullets will sometimes start tumbling. #Gamedev #Indiedev #Solodev.

Some progress today: Enemy AI, bullets, simple animations. We're nearly done the first of the 10/60 challenge.

I just made up the 10/60 challenge (10 simple game prototypes in 60 days).

Has been very fun!

A solid evening of programming later, we have a bunch of Space Invaders.

I'm doing a riff on Space Invaders. Current Progress: Ship moves!

Progress, added a dash. And perhaps a reason to use it.

Run box.

Not sure how long this has lived in my game.

I guess it has to stay

Learning Aseprite for some micro-projects to fill out gaps in my knowledge. Made a character. Need to figure out a game for them.
