I was wondering if I could have an enemy in #Cross_Pollinator like those assassins in the first Half-Life.

Agarthian Assassin doing hand-stand acrobatics. They have wires that can grapple to things allowing gravity defying moves.

I made a little binary flag widget in #godot.

#indiedev #gamedev #godot I've changed the map editor of #Cross_Pollinator, so it doesn't bother with assets for the floor. Instead, you can point out whether some tile can be walked on, then use a different node for the visuals of the floor.

A test map of Cross Pollinator in the editor, with the custom tool bar showing various map editing options, including an option to set the floor.

A draft sketch for a cover/thumbnail for #Cross_Pollinator

A PlayStation 1 style cover, with Agarthian writing on the left side header.
The proper title is on the top right corner and the drawing shows Seigro Gamma opening a mysterious door to an heavily equipped soldier, probably other of the player's characters.

Today I've messed around with localization in #Wicked_Haywire. #godot #indiedev What would you translate the title of application in #esperanto?

Application UI for Wicked Haywire, where text is translated to Esperanto.

Today we have a Dijkstra's algorithm implementation, applied to a grid. Multiple targets can be given and it will make paths to the closest one from the start point. This is meant to analyze graphs drawn in #Wicked_Haywire, so we can find which sockets connect together. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 24

Angel Number. Must be an omen.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 24

I've been experimenting different grid snapping arrangements for #Wicked_Haywire, the electronics simulator. #electronics #digital #indiedev

In the first picture, the packing is simply square. Each cell at the corner of a square.
The second is rhombus, or rather, there's a cell at each corner of the square, but they are spaced out to allow another cell in the center.
Thirdly, isometric, where cells are lined up in the horizontal direction.
Fourth is an isometric variation where cells are lined up in the vertical direction.

I've added more function to the wire drawing of #Wicked_Haywire. It required some dot products to detect if the mouse is over a wire. Here's a demo of the technique: #godot #gamedev #indiedev #math

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 20

Today I've been trying to crack the wire drawing problem in my circuit sim #Wicked_Haywire. #godot #indiedev #gamedev It still isn't possible to edit the wires. That's the bigger challenge.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 18

Added all the infrastructure to go from a scenario loading until characters can be commanded in #Cross_Pollinator Need to start working on the NPCs soon. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

A demonstration map with the fore-most character, Seigro Gamma selected. You can see her stats and inventory.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 16

Just realized, I don't think I've ever posted this tentative art of the characters in #Cross_Pollinator

The header says "Cross Pollinator - En Racio Fido" along with translation into Agarthian language.
Beneath are illustrations of player characters for the game. Two of them haven't been well defined yet, but Seigro Gamma and Ethan Lennox are depicted along with their ID information.
Among these characters a few robots can be used, Exokirasso, a bug-looking power armor, Carapace, a modified bomb diffusal robot, Mayfly, a small flying drone and Sensokugol, a tiny crawler with a camera. Each is identified with the faction that deploys them.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 16

I've been improving and tweaking the character controller and interactions today. #Cross_Pollinator #Godot #indiedev #gamedev

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 14

@eternalskies.neocities.org I've heard you like goofy stuff.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 13

It feels like no progress happened when the whole day is fixing minor bugs until one single game feature works. But a lot of bugs were indeed fixed. Navigation is improved and Navigation visualization overlay is fully working now. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

There's a yellow character with a star, which only function is to travel, so I can test navigation.
The overlay shows purple for the boundary of the selected map.
The black strokes are edges of a tile that can never be crossed by any character.
The red strokes are edges blocked by a wall.
blue strokes are edges that only flying things can cross.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 13

#indiedev #gamedev Today I've been writing a technical document as a map to get your bearing debugging code. You can find the full version in the GitHub page of #Cross_Pollinator. Here are a couple of more interesting pages.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 12

#godot #gamedev #indiedev I keep redoing the navigation system in #Cross_Pollinator. It's being hard to be satisfied with it. But I got preview overlays to work! Info about what's shown in the picture's alt-text.

This map of 12 by 12 tiles has a room with two entry ways. The overlay shows in beige direction of the edge of a tile a character can cross. Red shows a direction blocked by a wall.

It should have black lines around the perimeter of the map, but right now, the algorithm is not checking for adjacent tiles to decide their obstacle codes.

I planned on having 6 types of transitions, one being unobstructed and another strict obstruction. The remaining transition types can be crossed by some characters and not others.

One kind of character will avoid any obstacle. Hasty characters will be able to cross short walls, vaulting over them, and small sized characters would be able to cross narrow passages. There's a condition for characters that could cross tall walls and fly, but I don't think I'll design any characters that use that.

The 3D star thing is a stand-in for characters that only deals with movement on the map, so I don't get distracted trying to fix the character's finite state machine.

An overlay on the same 12 by 12 tiles map, but this one shows which tiles have floors that can be walked on. Generally, if there's a floor texture, a character can get on it, but eventually you'd want to have a custom object as the visual representation of the floor instead of 3D sprites, such tiles without sprite can still be flagged as "having floor".

I use wojaks as stand-in for characters, portraits or spawners, in my games.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 7

#Cross_Pollinator #indiedev #gamedev #godot I've fixed most coordinate and navigation issues and have the ability to add maps at different heights. Each map has a single collision shape for the whole area, but I figured a way to be able to click through holes on the floor to reach other maps.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Jun 5

Coordinate issues have all been solved. #Cross_Pollinator.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· May 29

Good news: The navigation works. Bad news: The visual objects are offset wrong. #Cross_Pollinator #Godot

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· May 28

I'm working hard on #Cross_Pollinator. The characters can now path-find. In the screenshot, there's an overlay on the floor showing red on the side of each tile the characters will not cross. Tiles without a floor also prevent characters entering, but allow exiting them. #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· May 26

I've implemented character spawners and zone triggers now. #gamedev #indiedev #godot Next I have to make the camera less janky, implement character actions and maybe work on auto-tiling.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· May 23

I know I haven't been much active, but today, I progressed in #cross_pollinator level editor. #indiedev #godot #gamedev

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Apr 9

I've been in hiatus for a long while because of mental health issues and having to run from family, but one small thing I did to progress with #Wicked_Haywire was to change how components work and are displayed. They don't crash all the time anymore.

This is what is conventionally called a "AND Gate". The negated output signal is also present, which would be a "NAND Gate".
But I'm calling these "Checks" instead of "Gates" and this performs "ALL" and "SOME" boolean operations.
The blue squares are inputs and you can press the plus button to add more of them.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Mar 21

Some sketches of how Agarthian armor works, how the operator is positioned in it and how it's worn. #Cross_Pollinator

Top Left: Valkyrie Exoframo, which includes extra arms along with the usual legs walks forward to scoop up the operator.

Bottom Left: Exoframo operator is in a sort of kneeling position as the legs they wear become extensions of their human legs.
They are also shooting a Diverflekso and hold rifle often referred as the "Elprovo" which is intended for use in Exokirasso.

Right: a cutaway view of an operator in a Exokirasso. They sit in a crouch position similar to ball turrets in WW2 bombers. The operator is fastened by a waist harness in place of the symbiote Agarthians often wear. The picture depicts the operator looking forward, but this is not necessary as their vision is replaced by sensor data of their armor.

Not really part of the game, just a prototype for level editor, but still best I've got right now.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Feb 14

Originally I was intending to color this, but the scene is set in a dark tunnel, so I left it with just the basic saturation blocking. Super-soldier concept from #Cross_Pollinator.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Feb 12

Today I have a spicy one. I've been considering make a reboot comic with these two. But I'm not sure yet of the new direction for the story.

Theklo 🦉@diogo-duarte· Feb 9

My coding development is a bit jammed right now, so I'm switching to drawing for a little while. Whenever I have power at home. Krita is pretty demanding on my little laptop. Here are some concepts of Agarthian designs along with words for their devices depicted. #Cross_Pollinator
