I made my first animation using Calvary! It was fun; it kinda reminded me of working in Adobe Flash. I've always liked the look of vector graphics and animations.

I got to work with "raylib" for the first time! Just__Jane made a little game, and I offered to add a game within the game. Here it is! Go check it out! www.twitch.tv/just__jane 🦔🐊🐈‍⬛ The little crocodile will play a friendly game of Janken with the resident Hedgehog. I hadn't touched C++ in ages 🧵

Special Event: It's the rare Friday stream www.twitch.tv/captain_onos... See you there... 🐊

"You Had Mead at Hello!" is getting smarter! We've been working on adding automation mechanics to the game. This drone is hustling and bustling. It's selling candles while the player can focus on other things. 🐻This is some solid #gamedev progress for our cozy tycoon #indiegame, built in #godot 🐝🍯

...this is too funny not to share. Good job, the two of you

Lots of progress today on adding automation to our casual apiary game, "You Had Mead at Hello!" Here we see a drone meander to a crafting table full of beeswax. It works the table until it runs out of resources, and then wonders to the next table with something to do and gets back to work. #godot

Yo, @dangheesling.com! Awesome merch drop. Got my new favorite mug to sippa while you conquer The Gauntlet 🔥 I really do love your streams and your community is second to none. Glad to be a part of it in some small way.

I got some great feedback! It was suggested I adjust the sunglasses to make the character look less cranky. Such a small adjustment makes a huge difference, thank you!

This is what my layers look like. I have a layer effect on the entire body that adds that white sticker. Inside of that, the crocodile and the Zs have a black outline of their own. The first Z needed special attention. The bubble effect appears over the croco by using a mask & another Z.

This is how it reads when used on #Twitch. The black outline and white sticker is doing a lot of work here.

Today I tried using #Affinity to make an emoji instead of Inkscape. Oh my goodness, this is so much better! The way it handles layering, effects, and clipping is so much easier. Next, I want to try animating it. I'm thinking of using #Cavalry to add some animation to this. What do you think? 🐊💤

We're getting fancy now

Godot morning, everyone

=)

75k moves is wild!

Hello #PitchYaGame ! We're making a cozy Bee Keeper Tycoon game! Take care of your bees and grow your apiary. Produce goods like honey and mead! The Game Jam version did well, so we're going all the way with it! Check us out! averagegamestudio.com/game/you-had... #godot #indiedev

On one hand, I'm proud to reach a new all time high Bullet elo rating. On the other hand, 30 blunders between us doesn't look great! 🤣 #chess #lichess

"You Had Mead at Hello!" - The Bee Keeper Tycoon game 🐝🐝 The player can now hold more than one thing at a time! This is the first step towards a simple inventory system. We'll keep the game casual, but being able to only hold a single item was a pain! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Happy Halloween #solodev #godot #indiedev

"You Had Mead at Hello!" - The Bee Keeper Tycoon game 🐝🐝 During playtesting, players couldn't tell where they may place things. Now, invalid areas are highlighted. The new shader fits with the rest of the art style better than the blue one I was using. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Huge thanks to @2nerdynerds.bsky.social for showing me this trick to make a texture in Godot on stream today. And, another huge thanks to @iraddev.bsky.social for teaching me about light occluders with SDF collision!

I'm trying to fix the most frustrating problems in new game, "You Had Mead at Hello!". It was hard for players to tell where they can put down new items. Now, invalid areas are highlighted. Players can meticulously place their beehives in their apiary 🐝 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godot

...you're coming with me

Went window shopping yesterday to kill some time. I found this at a vintage store. How badly I wanted it!

Let's Play the "Paper Robot" Demo - An RPG by @dabbleworks.bsky.social 📺: www.twitch.tv/captain_onosa

"You Had Mead at Hello" won 3rd Place in Fun! Amazing job, team! Simply put, I'm overwhelmed. I'd never built an automation/tycoon game. I wasn't sure if it would work. Yet, people voted it was fun. I just.. wow! @irishjohngames.bsky.social & @sciantsmedia.com 👀 www.twitch.tv/irishjohngames
