Overhauling #Project8088 by eliminating tech debt from the core game loop engine and creating an agent system to manage level objectives. This morning (using claude), I've abstracted those elements into a scripting language for the game.

Little pre-day job refinement of the tutorial level. Things are settling with #Project8088. A lot of tech debt eliminated and systems created. Hopefully some major progress over the weekend. #TGIF!

Because I am ~totally~ not biased, I love [most] all the levels from #Project8088. But The Experiment level with it's multi-tiered space, tougher enemies, and pressured gameplay makes it my favorite so far.

Burning the midnight oil and then some. Project8088 update: a bit of a HUD; no weapon pickup; refactored objectives; and a little more moody atmosphere.

After a small break of taking care of life, I ready to get back to #indiegame #Project8088 development. Need to work on generating media for the Steam page, design a few more levels, tighten the narrative, etc, etc.

After much resistance because of invested time in the original concept, I created an switch agent. It will watch a switch and destroy itself once the switch is on. In the Project8088, when all agents are destroyed for a phase, the next phase is loaded.

Working on the phase objectives for #Project8088. Eliminating some technical debt by going with an agent based system. Also getting rid of the text-based level begin overlay listing the phases and implementing a more diegetic approach.

The beginning of the #Project8088 tutorial using a phase objective system I created. The system let's me add phase objectives via data tables and are deployed via phase agents. When the phase is completed, the indicator disappears.

Project8088 Update: added Network Probes (the probe with indicators top, bottom, and sides). If you are sensed by a Network Probe - indicators turn red - Logic Probes will chase you. It's a good idea to destroy the Network Probes first....or is it?

The first level of the Project8088 tutorial is completed. There will be at least one more tutorial to help build some buffs early and forward the narrative into the game. It's a bit long, but I would love to hear feedback. Feeling every part of solo in #solodev.

A boss level in #Project8088. The story, levels, and designs are still very much a work in progress, but it's [slowly] coming along and together nicely.

There be bugs in that router! A bit of a look into some gameplay of #Project8088. The bugs are my first attempt at an AnimGraph. They definitely need to be redone, but at the moment, serviceability reigns supreme.

Man, I love this project!

Getting ready to explore behavior trees in #UE5 - another part of the #gamedev journey I've been avoid. But they may yield a bit more flexibility into the overall development of the probe enemies in #Project8088. Until then, enjoy these 19 seconds of raw gameplay.

Project8088: Basic Training Level IV. 62 enemies in the level and that's not all of them. The player will be able to decide how they want to approach the level: methodically by destroying each wave; or chaotically and unleashing everything.
