Did you know Cranky Chibi Cthulhu is being developed on an open source game engine called FlatRedBall?😎

FlatRedBall is a 2D game engine focused on 2D games development and they just recently joined BluSky.

Make sure to give them a follow!🐙

A new version of Gum just dropped. Along with bug fixes, this version includes a new variable reference system - it's like "shaders for layout" for ultimate flexibility if the built-in types aren't enough. Find out more: github.com/vchelaru/Gum...

We have CRT effect! Yay!

Just look at that adorably cute little green eldritch horror!

So happy, jumping and blasting all over that screen like it's 1985!! 😍🐙📺

Oh hey, look! 😱

It's a quiet little town with the statue of a cat in the middle instead of that of some eldritch god. 🐙

How cute and rebellious! 😍

I may need to make these moon beasts a bit more aggressive.

Right now I kinda just wanna hug them when I see them jump.

Maybe it's just me.🤔

Sometimes the forest stares back. O_o

This is what the live editor screen looks like when working on a game with FlatRedBall, the game engine we use for Cranky Chibi Cthulhu.

Happy #screenshot Saturday!🐙

OK. Everything still wants to kill you but the difficulty curve is much more forgiving.😅

This is the moon section of the dreamlands level. So imagine craters and lots of little moon stones.

Cranky Chibi Cthulhu is being developed on FlatRedBall!

An open-source, 2D game engine that certainly deserves more attention.

The new Quest to Compile episode is out! Vic from @FlatRedBall walks us through GUM, an engine agnostic UI layout tool that works with MonoGame, raylib, Skia, and really anything .NET.

Wow, is nice to check this account and not see lots of sexbot followers added overnight. 😀

Happy Monday! Today I'm finalizing Lv4 of our game, using the FlatRedBall game engine's live editor.

We're definitely avoiding going down the engine route and leaving it to others, like FlatRedBall (flatredball.com), to build their engines on top and for UI something like docs.flatredball.com/gum, but there are other tools/engines too.

Just working on a new flying* cat enemy's path pattern.

FlatRedBall has a really cool path editor in which I can spend hours just playing around with this.

*Ulthar cats will eat bad people's eyeballs too. They are cool like that.

Happy #screenshotsaturday everyone!

Today I'm testing some new enemy path patterns in prep for our next level.

The enemy's name is Hissing Dio. It's named after my cat Dio, whom I named in honor of Ronnie James Dio.

Smooll but powerful. 🤘

Today I'm working on our Dagon boss encounter. Not sure how I feel about this part of the fight. Balancing boss encounters is tricky. 🤔

Last week I switched from my main MonoGame setup to FlatRedBall, just did the starter project to familiarize myself with how everything works and working with the in engine editor is quite nice too, reminds me of Unity a lot.
