Tales of the Game Dev


Screenshots below:::

A dead character lies on the runway with a trail of bullet casings, blood and green slime trailing behind him. Pools of acid and giblets of insectoid remains litter the surface with small pieces of metallic debris scattered about. There is a spotlight shining onto the corpse.

In the past 7 months I've been improving things here and there. I took a break off work and school this summer to get more done on insectoid descent, going onto its 4th year of development.

I did some experimenting with Lens and pseudo CRT effects. It didn't turn out so well, so its been put on the shelf. I've been adding alot of subtle content.

Today I improved the main menu with the mouse hovering and got the shotgun/AK swapping in the GUI to work, finally. Its been over a year since some of the pixel art was made and never implemented. I feel bad about these things but last summer I went through alot in my personal life and now I'm starting to get back into the swing of game dev.

Things are going good, Insectoid has increased in scope in the past years and a single programmer/artist can only do so much. Gamejolt is not my preferred platform for news updates, our discord server is the place for that.

However, I don't want to keep you gamejolters in the dark.

It seems like I cant post any more pictures, I guess that means another post is necessary. There's been alot of work going into this game behind the scenes.

Since the game is open source, monetization is a weird thing to consider. Originally, this was simply a project to build up my portfolio for a future game with funding. But at this point its become a dream passion project and I'm only 21. If someone reads this, I appreciate it.

If anyone wants to access the private beta, you can play updated builds far more often. Normally we used discord, but I think gamejolt access keys would be better as of today. Message me for a private beta access key.

As always, youtube videos are greatly appreciated especially beta tester videos so I can watch and get feedback.
