Finally got around to implement Ink-based dialogs again.
Really not sure at this point in which form to embed this into the interface, I do want to make this playable without mouse at some point. Gonna check out some best practices...

Found out you actually can prepare .import files with desired import parameters, and Godot will just pick them up and do the rest.
That offers some intriguing workflow possibilities, like presetting looping or bpm values for audio files exported from DAWs via script, hmmm... #godot #indiegamedev

Had some fun (between all the bugfixing) to work on some pixel art for objects, giving the maps a sense of place :]
And I’m realizing complementary colors and lighting can do a lot of lifting for a palette that has just a few to many gray and drab tones 😅️

Yeah, somebody told me at some point making games is _hard_, and after a day spent with fixing bugs, I totally feel it 😅️ But it feels super rewarding at the same time! #sologamedev #gamedev

Noticed I've increasingly adopted turning more and more log messages about non-critical bugs and inconsistencies or even just warnings into full-blown debug asserts because my logs have becoming super crowded and I'm always too lazy to look dig thru them 😅

Made a fair bit of progress today implementing in-game cutscenes via my JSON script system :]
Finer controlling the timing of specific script events will need a bit more work of though.

Had some fun adding a scanner mode. Might turn out to be just agimmick... or a central game play element, we’ll see :D #Godot #IndieGameDev #SoloDev

So happy I set a shortcut for "Reload Current Project" at one point. Godot has been working out great for me with C#, but oof, you really have to reload the editor often because something becomes desynchronized 🙈️
Hoping the editor support gets better down the line 😇️

Okay, picking a Amiga Public Domain game is probably cheating a bit.
"Hanger 18", an adventure/shooter game from 1995 really thrilled me as a child. It used the joystick for moving and the mouse for aiming, and featured sprites ripped from Syndicate.
Dreaming of remaking it in Godot one day...

Took me a few days of weeding out nasty bugs, but finally got map transitions with full world/item persistence working :] #godot #indiegamedev #solodev

Feels a bit nerdy to set up a player component that takes frame change events from the player sprite manager, queries the player tilemap scanner component, and then tells the sound manager to play step sounds...
Guess I’m firmly in composite design territory by now, love it! 😅️ #godot #gamedev

Whelp, spent the whole day fixing my save system; got it almost done, then got sidetracked with some structural optimizing that ended up spreading over pretty much all my code base. Result: save system broken again 😂 #indiegamedev

Honestly, Nightdive getting in the best of the community to make a new expansion is absolutely their modus operandi at this point.
Looking forward to seeing what they've been cooking, and who was involved.

Warning to my past and future self: Implement loading/saving early, not just randomly down the line, I repeat…
Seriously, if there’s one element in all my projects that fills me with sheer terror, it’s this. So annoying to debug. Maybe I should finally use a testing framework 🫠️ #Godot #IndieGameDev

So, turns out C# standard events and collections are much faster compared to Godot’s equivalent classes? Guess I’m off rewriting heavy-duty parts of my projects… 😅️
I only ever use Signals by code, anyway, and Godot’s collections are only really necessary when exporting to the editor 🤷♀️️

I took part in a game jam last weekend! (my first one)
The jam theme was "Between the Lines" and Media Literacy in general and we (me + 3 ppl) made a funny little game about Psychological Dark Patterns and affecting groups of people with them.
