ROCKET LAUNCHER!

This is the last power-up I'm making for the "First Playable" version! It shoots exploding rockets at random directions, at a fixed time interval!


I initially had coded this missile as following the closest zombie but figured it was too powerful, and this made the power-up too hard to balance. So now this power-up fires the rockets at random angles.

Here's the rocket inside Construct:

(The smoke looks kinda weird because it's not supposed to remain still in the air haha)

The time at which it shoots the missiles is every 8s for the first tier of this power, I made the game shoot them at a higher frequency for the gif only.

This missile explodes in contact with a zombie and uses the same explosion object as the grenade.

In case you folks are curious about this sort of thing, here are all the events I used to program this missile:

That's it! So long everyone!

HI! I'm getting close to hitting 1000 FOLLOWERS (woohooo!) and I'm thinking about doing some special things to celebrate this:

- A Fireside where we can play a drawing game together!

- A mini-game using the sock puppets!

What do you think of that?

CONSTRUCT TUTORIAL TIME! I wanted to make a "mini-article" on how to make the distance-based zoom control mechanic I did for Dead Drift since it's so easy!

HELLO EVERYONE! How are you doing this Monday?

Are you folks excited for this week? What are you planning to do?

I'd love to hear it in the comments!!!

Madeline is the main protagonist of the mountain climbing platformer, Celeste. The game has been praised for its visuals, gameplay, and introspective narrative. The game's creator Maddy Thorson confirmed that Madeline is trans in 2020.

QUICK UPDATE on the MISSIONS SYSTEM!

Happy Video Game Day!

July 8 is Video Game Day, a holiday that's obviously close to our hearts at Game Jolt.

Celebrate by completing our quests! They won't be around long, so get the rewards while you can.

WORKING A BIT ON THE MISSIONS UI!

Last time I posted a kinda bare bones version of this screen, now we got some of its art!

Still not totally satisfied with all elements, but I guess it's already a nice improvement :)

Sharing the pixel art I did for a personal project I never got to make. The player would control an enchanted chest that had to investigate the disappearance of its wizard master!

What do you think? Would this had looked cool?

Here's what I'm thinking to celebrate the 1K followers milestone... the very first SOCK TOWN prototype!

It's heavily inspired by the Reigns game, but instead of being about being a king... it's about being the director of the "Sock Town" TV show!
