0.8 development has begun! (bi-weekly devlog 1)


Hello world!! I’m here to announce a few things:
1: I have begun development on 0.8,
2: The original forum post has been locked, as the forum is currently in the process of moving,
3: I’m going to try and do a by weekly devlog :D

To elaborate: the past few weeks have been insane (as it noramlly is right before summer break) and I cannot promise that the idea of this “bi-weekly” log will pan out, at least through most of May.
So: what have I been up to?
Well, I’ve been playing and allot of Warframe and Paladins! I also fell in love with Battleborn over its open beta weekend, and- Ah, right. I have a game to make…
Needless to say this, (in addition to minor development and MAJOR SCHOOL!!) has been the past few months. Since March at least. Development has only recently accelerated. But what I have done is, something, to say the least…
I’ve added an intro for the miniscule lore bits that probably next to noone will care about, but hey, I wanted it to be, so it is…

I’m going to experiment with adding music to this, as I’ve had an intro track picked out since I heard it. [The Runaway, by Eric Matayas]
In addition, I’ve also re-added gamepad support! Kindof- sortof… It’s mostly functional. The only thing not working it the item menu and the cursor is weird. The gamepad option has also been removed, as it’s automatically detected (I stole this mechanic from my other project, Fast Action Heroine) I don’t intend to finish it this update, as I’m actually trying to pace myself. The gamepad polish shall be in 0.9.
Also, I’ve taken the liberty of responding to a requst that I expect will be more previlent if my audiance grows. Corpses can disappear after a while. If you don’t want this (like myself) then you don’t need to enable it, it’s optional! Replacing the gamepad option in the “game” tab of the options.
That’s… pretty much all. BUT!!! By the next bi-weekly thing, I intend to have made even more changes and additions finished that I can share!
See you all then!

Submitted my game for the OperaGX game jam last night.

Would love to get some feedback!

(Excuse the poor gameplay performance, I'm playing for two)

Decided I'd give this jam a go since I'll probably have the time. After an evening, I think I've got a good starting point???

Fan art for Foolish I'm feeling kinda better so I drew this

Enemies can also suddenly spawn through Realm Rifts. These Rift Spawns are going to be stronger than the ones wandering around. TBD on the enemies... #screenshotsaturday #godstear #madewithunity

Quantum precognition is one of the most powerful cards. End game cards & equipment. Demo/alpha build boss is no match for this deck.

Just a Pico sprite

Family band complete!

Sometimes the suction cup get sticky. Small animation I made in Blender after doing my tutorial on picking up/dropping objects in animations. Crate model by jQueary (https://sketchfab.com/3d-models/game-ready-sci-fi-crate-d98deca6…).

In the quest for accessibility, I'm adding Resurrection Shrines for players on the 'novice' end of the platforming spectrum.

In order to unlock the power of a Shrine, you must collect 3 'Souls' from your dead corpses! (the floating blue orbs)
