Hello, Bluesky! Thanks for 600 followers! I'm Eric, the main developer of the #indiegame Drifter Dynasty. Wishlist on Steam if you fancy a trip to the Old West or a new spin on games like Fire Emblem! I post plenty of #gamedev updates, so you'll get your fill.

The Drifter throws a cross counterpunch to an enemy's uppercut punch. There's a civilian behind the enemy in the same house. This scene is in 2.5D.

The Enforcer (right) lines up her shot and fires on an enemy two tiles to the left of her in a quick draw.

The Drifter (14, 5) is selected on a grid. In the top left corner is a wanted poster with his stats. On the other side of the screen is a turn queue. There are three enemies and two allies on the board. In the center bottom of the screen is an action menu with the following options: "Status", "Items", and "Wait".

Eric is facing forward and smiling while wearing a blue sweater with the collar zipped up. Behind him is a bare wall. His hair is shoulder-length.

Try these shortcuts to quickly switch between another script and then back to the script that you want to update. I encounter this issue in a child class sometimes when I break a parent class.

Move up | Shift + Alt + Up Arrow | Shift + Opt + Up Arrow, Move Down | Shift + Alt + Down Arrow | Shift + Opt + Down Arrow, Next Script | Ctrl + Shift + . | Cmd + Shift + ., Previous Script | Ctrl + Shift + , | Cmd + Shift + ,

Thrilled to return even a fraction of the inspiration from your recent devlogs! Keep in mind that this series documents a transition within the project, so seeing brand new projects bud and blossom is refreshing. Takes me back to the days when I created this simple prototype.
