Weapon Parry! The parry is not based on physics collision between two weapons, I have to time the attack and parry animation manually. It's hard. Yeah, it would be better if it was physics based, but this is not an action rpg. #godot #indiegame #gamedev #jrpg #srpg #trpg #devlog #ErisaBloodMarch

An attack can hit, miss, be guarded or parried. This is a test of the guarding with shield animation. Next up will be the weapon parry animation. For missing, I don't think I have to do much other than show the word "Missed". #indiegame #gamedev #godot #jrpg #srpg #trpg #devlog #ErisaBloodMarch

I hate radians. I hate it when I spend 30 minutes chasing down a bug to find out invariably that I was working with radians when I wanted degrees. Who actually works with radians in practice. Anyone? Like do you think: I want to snap my rotation to PI/2 instead of 90 degrees?

Good news: I've been fixing many bugs & adding features. Bad news: I can't really share this progress in a video or screenshot because I need to complete many other features to show a working example.😔 But I will continue to work hard. 🙏 #indiegame #gamedev #godot #jrpg #srpg #trpg #ErisaBloodMarch

Improved the camera work. Added a cursor over the active character. The music is by the great composer @teteto629.bsky.social, who is composing the entire soundtrack for this game. I will continue to work hard so please be patient. 🙏 #indiegame #gamedev #godot #jrpg #srpg #trpg #ErisaBloodMarch

Finally after coding for so long, I have some progress I can share. This video shows the deployment phase for battles. I hope to soon share footage of a battle! #godot #indiegame #gamedev #erisabloodmarch #jrpg #srpg #trpg

This screen allows player to select abilities to learn. There are no skill trees, I'll elaborate on this later but players can select abilities in any order. Maximum freedom to the player. How do you like my GUI design/work? #indiegame #gamedev #jrpg #srpg #trpg #rpg #godot #ErisaBloodMarch

Ever since I became serious about developing Erisa Blood March, I have played zero games. All my free time and energy goes towards game development. Game dev is extremely time consuming. You must create huge amounts of content. When I finish making this game, then I hope I can play games again.

In game development... Everything is more difficult than I expect. Everything takes longer than I expect. Every decision requires careful consideration. I find I am unable to compromise certain qualities for expediency. I get only once chance and can't screw up. I will continue working till done.

Been a while since I updates... I've been working hard adding on many things... One of them is making a character customizer. Players can customize the costume, skin, hair and eye color of characters... #godot #godotengine #ErisaBloodMarch #srpg #trpg #rpg #indiegame #indiegamedev

Improved the spear stab animation. I'm satisfied with this now. Faster, better body rotation and angle and no more foot sliding. #ErisaBloodMarch #godot #indiegame #gamedev #rpg #jrpg #srpg #trpg

Death animation, played forward and then in reverse. Need to get faster at making animations... I have so many to make. #ErisaBloodMarch #godot #gamedev #indiegame #jrpg #srpg #trpg #rpg

Working on a spell casting animation... #ErisaBloodMarch #godot #gamedev #indiegame #jrpg #sprg #trpg #rpg

Made spear attack animation. I struggled for a long time with rigging and animation basics. After making no progress for a long time, I am suddenly seeing progress. Progress happens in discrete steps, not linear! Never give up. #godot #gamedev #indiegame #ErisaBloodMarch #jrpg #srpg #trpg #rpg

Made an animation of the spear maiden Arisha walking with shield and spear. #ErisaBloodMarch #Godot #gamedev #indiegame #jrpg #rpg #srpg #trpg

Worked on an animation. I'm not happy with it, seems too stiff... but it's the best I could do. So much to learn. I will keep trying. #godot #indegame #gamedev #erisabloodmarch #jrpg #srpg #trpg

Work on new level. This is a work in progress, needs lots of improvements, not done. Between job and family. Making game is hard. I work till midnight everyday. Health is getting worse, cause of very little sleep. But must continue... #ErisaBloodMarch #Godot #indiedev #gamedev #rpg #srpg #jrpg #trpg

Changed lighting from previous version... I do think this version is better. But I think this one is a bit too bright. Will keep iterating and trying to improve. But have many other aspects of the game to work on too. #ErisaBloodMarch #Godot #gamedev #indiegamedev #rpg #jrpg #srpg
