I'm hooked on skill trees. Customize player abilities? Skill tree. Influence NPCs you encounter in a level? Skill tree. Level generation behavior? Skill tree. Weather forecasting? Skill tree. I can stop any time I want, I promise! #pixelart #gamedev #Indiegamedev #skilltreeenjoyersanonymous

I was trying to learn how to make a traditional chain lightning effect out of line segments and ended up with this yo-yo-esque monstrosity. I kinda like it! #screenshotsaturday #indiegamedev

Sometimes when I have a hard time naming a skill I just pick something really silly #indiegamedev

Wacky endless loot. Absurd unique items. Silly abilities with even sillier skill trees. Endless fourth wall-breaking levels. 40+ hours of content, even in a demo. If this appeals to you, check out Don't Die, Collect Loot this #wishlistwednesday! store.steampowered.com/app/2052160/...

A Kaiju Big Battel: Fighto Fantasy update is live on Itch & Steam! Lots of stuff in the patch notes. Most important: -Added transition animations when using doors. -Added more mustaches to muscular men. -Fixed minor sprite flickering when loading a new map. -Additional NPCs. #indiegamedev

Sometimes things need to be dealt with the hard way. The Hunter subclass in Don't Die, Collect Loot has some tools for taking down really tough foes. #indiegamedev #pixelart

Time to get back to work on Don't Die, Collect Loot in earnest! Need to just bury my head in the sand about the outside world for a bit, I think. Next up, re-working the Hero tree a bit. Check out this new Warcry effect! #indiegamedev #actionrpg

Why fight with your own blades when you can summon a sentient blade from the Blade Dimension to fight for you? #indiegamedev #pixelart

Finished the art for Rift Riff's 4th level today. This is the first world where monsters attack all of your towers before arriving at your basecamp. I made it extra harsh and aggressive looking. #leveldesign #gamedev #godot #pixelart

Refined my camera "occlusion cutout" shader a bit more, happier with the results. It's surprisingly difficult to do well, there are edge cases for every technique. I use an approximated projected capsule in screen space w/ depth, + noise to make the edges more interesting #indiegame #unrealengine

The wacky skills continue! It's getting pretty tough to think of these. How do other folks come up with fun skill ideas that aren't just basic damage boosts? #indiegamedev #arpg

Anyone else get hooked playing their own game occasionally? I can't help just blasting random enemies for 30+ minutes at a time on occasion. #indiegamedev #arpg #pixelart

Some of these unique items are getting pretty complex! Still a big fan of effects that are more interesting than "Do 6 more damage" #indiegamedev #pixelart #unity
