Implemented Sub-Weapons and Morale. Which are both recurring mechanics in the True Human Tribulation series.


In the context of this game in particular, Sub-Weapons act as an extension to the player's core moveset. Providing them with two special action commands that each cost morale to use.

With the addition of these two features, all the core mechanics have been complete, and the game is now in the Alpha stages. I will be focusing on adding more Sub-Weapons, enemy types, and waves.

If you want full context for what game I'm trying to make, I suggest that you watch this video I've recently uploaded: https://youtu.be/MDZ3udvGsEI

Along with that, if you wish to actively keep track of the game's progress, the project is open-source and hosted on GitHub if you wish to check it out.

Another way of tracking the game is by joining the discord server as well. Through the use of web-hooks an automatic message is sent every time a commit as been pushed to the GitHub repo.

I've implemented the basic gameplay loop. It seems to work like a charm. Now all that's left is to implement one more thing, and game would finally reach the alpha stages. If you've been following the series and my work, you can guess what that is.

Implemented a new Enemy and Sub-Weapon. Adding a little more mechanical variety to my game.

I reworked the pause screen and implemented a radar to my game. I really like what I did here especially with the pause screen as I made the black bars slide in using linear interpolation.

Unfortunately the 16 FPS gif doesn't do it justice though...

Our 2024 Advent Calendar has opened! Day 18: @Otis_Le_PoOtis is the Creator of Bondee’s Barnyard and posts updates about their dev journey and their work on the sequel!) Accept the quest and give them a follow to get Coins and a seasonal sticker!

Okay so I have been on that grind these past few days. I just revamped the title screen, and main menu. I think I'm finally out of mid development hell since things have been speeding up a lot lately. The game should be released by the end of next month.

Happy #WIPWednesday!

For the past 69 days, I've been working on a new game. This is what I've got done in that amount of time. I'm planning for it to be a small wave-based fighter, where you have to survive against multiple waves of enemies. #tld_skirmish #prealpha

@Miles_Games is a Jolter to Watch! They post great game dev updates about the holiday-themed platformer TEAM SLAY-BELLS! Follow them before the quest ends on December 24 and you'll get Coins!

I finished the 2nd stage for my game. I intend for the game to randomly select one upon starting a new run.

How I usually make these is by using Aseprite for the sprite work, and GIMP to put everything together. An interesting way to do things right?
