A little late but for #screenshotsaturday I can show off the ship changing mechanic I have in Tales of Eight. Now to figure out when to allow the player to do it. What other ships should the player be able to sail in? #indiedev #roguelite #godotengine

For today's #screenshotsaturday I have a new player ship and one part of the tutorial to show off. Again thanks to @binbun3d.bsky.social for some of the effects. In your opinion what kind of enemy ship would be throwing these fireballs ? #indiedev #roguelite #godotengine

Here is the "The Floating Fortress", one of the first bosses you might encounter in the game. Now to balance it to make a fun and engaging fight 😀 His name is a reference to a PS1 game I used to love. Any idea which one ? #godotengine #roguelite #indiedev #pirategames #screenshotsaturday

Just a quick teaser for some of the boss attacks I have been working on for Tales of Eight. I'll try to get a video out this weekend. How do you like your characters to stand out on screen during boss fights ? #indiegame #wishlistwednesday #godotengine #roguelite

Ok the boss is a little big and it has a lot of canons (is there such a thing as too many canons in a pirate game ?) but I got carried away modelling in #blender 😅 The theme is Oil and Fire, what kind of music theme does this enemy deserve ? #indiedev #godotengine #pirate #screenshotsaturday

Progress of the day on the first boss. Still needs some texturing, canons and animations. I'm calling this one the Floating Fortress and I already have a bunch of cool moves for it to attack the player with. Any guesses on what they are ? Can't wait to show it in game :) #indiedev #blender

For today's #screenshotsaturday I can show the boarding effect in my pirate roguelite game "Tales of Eight". Having been an avid cartoon viewer as a child I wanted to reproduce the fight clouds we see in them. Do these effects have a name ? #godotengine #indiedev #pirates

It's #PitchYaGame ! This is Tales of Eight, a pirate-themed roguelite ☠️. - Interact with three different factions and fight unique bosses 🦀 - Improve your ship and canons ⚓ - Explore the world to find secrets🗺️ and engage in trade🪙 - There's a kraken, tentacles, and a grappling hook🪝

In an attempt to improve my calligraphy/watercolor skills I have started to do some loose worldbuiding for a fantasy setting as a hobby. My font is not very consistent yet but I'm enjoying the journey (more than my narrator 😅) #watercolor #calligraphy

In Tales of Eight you can harpoon other ships and grapple onto them. If you are lighter it will boost your speed, If you are heavier they will be dragged towards you. How do you like interacting with a games environment using a grappling hook ? #godotengine #screenshotsaturday #pirates #indiedev

For #screenshotsaturday I wanted to show the before and after pictures of the mission selection screen. The new one looks much more like a map which I believe fits the pirate theme better. What are some other map/pirate 🏴‍☠️ features I can add to decorate it ? #godotengine #indiedev

Worked on some weather and environmental effects this week. I love how versatile the particle system in Godot is so that you can use it both for the rain and the lightning. The lightning could still do with some more juice for sure. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godotengine #pirates

What would be a fantasy pirate game without a Kraken ? What are your favourite sea monsters ? #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godotengine #pirates

In Tales of Eight boats can dodge. One of the pros of creating a non realistic game. Still need to add some invincibility frames and the first skill is ready :) What other non boat skills could my boats have ? #indiedev #godotengine #screenshotsaturday

Will you be able to avoid the pizza cutter ships (name tbd) ? Is clearly telegraphed danger zones good or is it giving away too much ? #godot #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

This week I added a new enemy to the game. A mortar ship whose cannonballs shoot fireballs to dodge. Thanks @binbun3d.bsky.social for the fireball effects :). Still have to modify them to match the style of the game. #godot #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Seing a lot of them on game dev subreddits at the moment😩

Reworked the sailing UI this week, now with 100% more minimap resources and health display :) Trying to keep it minimal so I will probably condense the different ressources in the future. What more information should be displayed ? #ScreenshotSaturday #GodotEngine #Indiedev

For Tales of Eight I added a new enemy to the game this week, a steam ship that spits fire. It will be the main ship of a new faction called "The Fellowship of the Powder", a more industrial themed faction. #godot #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #talesofeight

I have some progress to show on the island decorations. I used some models from @kenney.nl Pirate Kit which I retextured. The end goal would be for players to explore the island. What is something unexpected you would like to find there? #godot #gamedev #indiedev #madewithgodot #screenshotsaturday

I love animation player in combination with the movie maker mode in #godot. Spent the day making this boss présentation animation for the players when they first encounter it. Now to code the actual encounter 🫣 What is your favorite boss mechanic in action rogue-likes ? #gamedev #indiedev

Are gifs allowed for #screenshotsaturday ? 🤔 I've been working on a dynamic world for Tales of Eight where the factions can expand, fight and trade with each other. If two factions are fighting, will you take sides or let them be while trading with both ? #godotengine #indiedev

The UI for the shop is progressing from sketch to game implementation. There are still some decoration parts missing but I am quite happy with the shark (even if I spent more time than I should have on the model). What should I name him ? #indiedev #godot #pirate

Back to working on my pirate game and I've been playing around with different texture filters to give it a more painted look. Quite happy with the result. What look do you like in games ? #screenshotsaturday #godot #gamedev #pirates

So much learnt in a day, I wanted to improve my naive implementation for enemy chasing to make it more natural. I started with using #godot 's navigations system with Bezier curves, then found out about steering behaviors and finally implemented context steering which works like a charm. #indiedev

Spend some time last drawing a few weapons for my game in the style of Mignola. Loved working with the ink/watercolour combo, still have a lot to understand about shadows. #watercolor #art #ink #painting

Voici ma tentative en aquarelle avec un papier pas adapté. Avec tout les petits détails je me suis bien amusé :) #watercolor #coloring

I wanted to add a little french touch to my game, so I added a animated pharmacy sign for the healing spot :) #pixelart #indiegame

Gamedev is weird sometimes, working on a snail themed train and wagons. How can I make it more "snaily" ? #pixelart #indiedev #aseprite #gamedev

Anybody else working on some pixel art on this very hot day ? I made a few sprites for small prototype I am working on called Brain Train #pixelart #gamedev #indiedev
