Have you ever been playing a game and wished you were playing as a different character? Either as a joke or because you love a specific character. One might turn to mods or fan projects, but what if you could just change the character in game like paint?

No longer forcing 4:3. Also added this jump particle. Also didn't mention this in the last post, but the outline is procedural, so it works on custom characters too.

This game has still been on my mind. Still suffering a catastrophic game dev burnout. But I had a concept for a prehistoric/dino level in my head. I made a test song for it as a musical challenge (may not be in the game). Mostly for fun.

finally got the spherical gravity zones mostly working. They don't seem to work that well with non-putters, even putters arc very high. I've checked all my calculations nothing is wrong. At least there's no drifting anymore.

merged my sims build mode thingy with my A* test. Really cool to see the two systems interact very well together. There's probably some edge cases but I'm pretty happy with this.

Spent a few hours today remaking some Sims build mode functionality. Not really making a game with it atm, just a curiosity. Walls are unbelievably jank, but not bad for a couple hours. I'm mostly messing with the system in case I make something like it.

Been running some art style experiments. I kinda wanted the sprites to pop a bit more and blend easier, as well as going back to my original vision for the game. So trying 4:3 + CRT shader + some pixelization + sprite outlines. I need to test it on Linux.

Steam Deck! Running on the LCD model but should run on the OLED just fine.

That's absolutely wild. 3 solo games and one collab later, here I am. Glad to make GameJolt my home!

Working on music and some background flair for my level in my game. In this level you explore underwater domes and glass pipes on the sea floor, with a neon bioluminescent aesthetic.
