😮‍💨... feels bad man

lol it's bonkers it took me almost SIX years to get panic attack mostly figured out. I'm on break at my job thinking man... there's an actual structure and loop FINALLY. the issue actually lies around assets. how and what I made have dictated the design, not the other way around. I goofed lol.

super busy this weekend, so I haven't been working on Panic Attack! much. but I did take a ton of notes to get a bunch of stuff ready for when I can work on it.

I don't probably talk about how much of Panic Attack! is all me asset wise. battle animations, sound effects, and some landscape stuff isn't. but the characters, music, most backgrounds... "yeah I did thaaaaaaaaat" lol.

decided to change how you get extra turns on Panic Attack!... instead of it being like say, Press Turn, it'll be more like Xenosaga boost stuff. tho I'll have to do it a little differently in rpg maker. adding turns is super easy, but doing with buttons like the Xenosaga games, not sure on that.

"get ready to catch these hands..." #PanicAttackRpg, #rpg, #rpgmaker, #indiegame

Fight With the Wind... an attack for Davis is where he unleashes psyonic wind energy on an enemy. Doing the ex version adds an explosive last hit of Void energy. but I mean, he shouldn't be capable of that, right? Robbi might be on to something. #PanicAttackRpg, #indiegame, #rpg, #rpgmaker, #gamedev

at the end of 2024, I beat Octopath 2 with like 100 plus hours in it. I haven't played any games hardly since then. I've been either working on my own game... or sleeping lol. but, I think I need a short break from Panic Attack!, or more so I need to just add a game in there to play. nothing huge

I swear, I wish certain factions of stuff I'm into would get off twitter lol. I really hate even having to be on their just to catch any FGC info... I know I keep saying that, but thing is, every time I'm on twitter, I'm reminded I don't like the place. maybe I should use discord or something more.

eh, that folks are saying "retard/retarded" again... like man, we really didn't have to bring that one back. if you GOTTA insult one's intelligence, we got too many other words you can use. like saying someone has dunce cap energy or something. as an autistic person, I ain't trying to hear it

Each area of the game takes place in a person's Escape Space, a mental escape for their mind. For Triple M, her space has been tainted by losing Maia, the person she was protecting. Get title belts to progress the the space. #PanicAttackRpg, #indiegame, #rpgmaker, #rpg, #screenshotsaturday

oof. just deleted the last post cause I meant to turn it into a gif instead of a video lol. I forgot the in game music wasn't on and damn shock troopers music was instead... I'll repost in a sec.

the king of the iron fist now joins dictator in standing on my old artwork...

ain't noooo way... guess I'm off to the wellness farms lol.

this is Off Model Kevin. I have no idea why that's the name, but yeah... there ya go.

when you see a yellow circle of sorts on the ground, it's always a good idea to psyche warp while standing on it. you might just open a new pathway... #PanicAttackRpg, #indiegame, #rpg, #rpgmaker

was gonna post a couple of gameplay videos of Triple M's arena, but I gotta figure out how to get my old OBS settings back where I had the file sizes a LOT smaller.

youtu.be/wAvnC3F-o-g?... I kinda hate that Smash music moved away from this literally the next game in a sense. like Smash 64 in general had a old school arcadey vibe to me, especially looking back. Melee was a lot more orchestral in spots (which isn't bad), but man... this was so good.

TAG TEAM CHAMPS!... or well, soon you will be. Each ring has a different objective for you to get to the next area of Triple M's arena, until you find her on the biggest stage of them all... #PanicAttackRpg, #indiegame, #rpg, #rpgmaker

I drew this based on a pic a friend drew of Mike a WHILE ago. so I'll post it here for valentine's day... but I'm not gonna spoil anything about it other than it's a thing that exists lol.

stupid references is something Davis would do. I think one thing I wanna portray while he's around is that he can be/ do cool things and powerful. but he's a dork who isn't cool (because he thinks he's cool). #PanicAttackRpg, #rpgmaker, #rpg, #indiegame Sneak peak at the new hub map too...

got this yesterday. I've been trying to get a lot of physical stuff recently. I mean I usually do anyways, but even for stuff like this. so I jumped when I saw this was getting a release.

youtu.be/5ke-zbTapzU?... so I listen to a ton of instrumentals... and this has gotta be one of my favorites.

maps are hard. I have NO idea how to do good map/level design. "we wingin' it bruh" is a real ideal and philosophy from yours truly...

my history with the No More Heroes 2 OST is odd. for years I NEVER knew what the official names of the songs were and in a couple of cases (like the one I'm about to present), the songs even have subtle differences between what I'm assuming is ripped vs. the album verison. Here's a stupid thread...

I absolute love some of the tracks in the Unlimited SaGa OST. the final boss is like a top 10 favorite songs PERIOD for me. but my God if the game isn't a mess lol. I've been watching stuff today as I wanted to see it outside of the music for once. I never did beat any campaign back in the day lol.

youtu.be/-R1iseafzE4?... I'm not sure why, but this vid is hilarious to me. Pineapple, you're ok with me.

working on the first "hub" like world for the first area of Panic Attack!... the areas in said hub are done. I just need to connect 'em with the hub. the idea for this one is wrestling, so you have to win belts to proceed between the 3 main areas in the hub. I want some creative belt situations here

youtu.be/f6EMxHzfnd4?... so sometimes, one of my friend's just sends me random stuff. usually it's just super goofy meme type stuff. but sometimes he'll get serious and send something that's absolute fire. this was one of those times.
