What Game Engine Do You Use?

I made some concept art for the player character:

Asteroids Dev Log 1

Lots of random variables for asteroid destruction. I played a lot around with forces for this one, having destroyed asteroids maintain some of their original velocity.

Spent lots of time making the background affect, that mimics movement. It is a repeated tile background that doesn't move, but instead changes the repeat offset based of the camera movement (which follows the player), so it works really well!

The enemy I have designed as 3 weapons, and anti-player weapon, and anti-asteroid weapon and a point defence weapon. The anti-player weapon fires homing missiles, which are pretty easy to dodge, but combined with the asteroid field it can make it quite a challenge. The anti-asteroid weapon tracks the closest target and fires shots at them (will eventually track the closest target, but it is very accurate, predicting for asteroid movement and projectile speed). The point defence creates lasers at nearby player bullets, to prevent the ships destruction. Its weakness is its rotation speed.

I really hope to continue this project, as it is coming out very nicely and already feels quite fun!

I'm working on a small car game for a project, and learning Godot along the way. Here's my first attempt at steering left.

I got driving forward and back working. Lemme try steering left…

yeah it's still broken. but DIFFERENTLY broken!

I finally got rotation (mostly) working. I'm just going to rotate right and drive forward.

oh. Hmm. Forward isn't relative to the car's rotation. That's a minor problem.

I was fixing the issue with the cars rotation not affecting the direction of the force, and accidentally made the velocity compound. So if you lightly tap the gas, you go to fucking plaid and then explode.

So I got it working, but the way it works isn't very… car. You can turn and you'll still keep going the way you were before you turned. So it's a little like driving a car on an ice lake?

I may have to give up and switch to using Godot's built in vehicle class.

introducing enemy no. testing!

i will be testing out battle mechanics using this enemy. the battle mechanics are the main reason why i'm making a prototype in the first place (i'm not sure if they would work)

yes, it is the grim reaper. i might reuse the sprite in the game over screen.

I AM NOW ENLIGHTENED YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

fcdesert devlog 7

today me and the other people working on fcdesert decided to create a team. today fcdteam has been created.

anyways a few new sprites have been created:

dark skeleton sprite

ghost sprite

act I is now finished.

...this is self explanatory

added visual for missed attacks

boss music:

i might fix the ending soon, but this works for now.
