Been a tad busy lately, but here's a bit of what I'm up to: I've been working on a workaround for view panning in GM:S, using angle and distance instead of margins. So far, it's working well, and I'll be making modifications to get it just right!

Dev update: Skill Tech

All playable characters have offensive, defensive, or status affecting tech to help them battle the horde! Working on animations to improve the visual appearance!

"Annexed Factory", the music for the Toy Factory stage that will be going in NF. Music done by me using FL Studio Mobile. Art is AI generated using Google Gemini.

"Shop", a 90s contemporary jazz style theme I made for my brother to use in his game, although I may also use it in mine.

There's something familiar in this tune... can't put a finger on it...
