Have you ever wondered if a disabled robot penguin head could defeat 8 purple horned bats? Of course you have.
Five Arcade, the only game with Five bats (DON'T COUNT THEM! JUST TRUST ME)

It's a good strategy for jump scares 😱

Its hard to cut sections of your project when you spent a good bit of time on it. I've been quite ruthless with some content lately for Five Arcade. But I'm working on a section now which I've agonized about cutting. It's probably cut-able but I'm going to put up a fight for it

Today I'm making an umbrella for a robot penguin head to defend itself from bats.
What a strange job 😀

We're only a week out from this!

I'm really impressed with the particle systems you have, the ground steps, the flames, smoke, it all looks so alive. I imagine there is infinite tweaking there.
I don't know if this is just a me thing but I find it fascinating that no matter how long I've been doing this I still catch myself saying "this will only take an hour or so" and 6 days later it's just about done...with bugs attached 😂
Now that all the systems are set up it's really quick to get a new gun implemented. The longest part of the process is now getting the sound effects created. I have 3 types of weapons, melee, particle and projectile, as long as I don't create another type hopefully things will be smooth.
A piece about the forest, yeah I'm super addicted to flutes rn 😅

Been working on some "side rooms" for lack of a better word. At the moment I have a shop and some challenge rooms. These will be tucked away in the various biomes in the game 😁
Here's a very WIP look at how they operate.

I'm running out of ways to compliment this game! I feel the impact of my words may be wearing thin but this looks incredible. It looks like I'll be smiling ear to ear while playing this.

I think the colour scheme is coming together. Nearly have the Fi (penguin) section linked to the Ve (flying head) sections...nearly there.

BIBDU: An Irish Mythology Video Game. All hand painted. Coming Soon!

Yeah I'm doing much better today. I've had a few intense headaches but they don't last long.
Back at work now on my game, making an absolute mess of everything...so I'm in my happy place 😂
You may wonder why it is raining indoors. It involves a series of occurrences which led the lead developer to forget to turn off the particle system. I hope you forgive him though, he banged his head recently and it's his first day back. Also he is me.
I HAVE MASTERED DOORS!

What's fun is when you spend ages trying to fix an error and it turns out it's an engine problem.
What's more fun is when it turns out it's an incorrect flag error, making me believe a collider was broken when it was in fact fine.
What's even more fun is I'm hungry and it's lunch time.

I was told to take 72 hours of bed rest, and watch out for leaking ears, which is weird. I have completed my assignment and hopefully I'll avoid further incidents for at least the next month or so 😀
I think my tutor in uni said that playing indie games is the only way to recover from getting a chair to the head. It was a very weird and specific module that I'm glad I took
I'd buy them all!
If I may ask, how long does it take to go from idea to screen for things like power ups? Have you got all the systems set up, audio cues, particle systems, etc?
Oh dear, someone let me plug in the electric guitar. This is a rookie mistake, I will play SpongeBob, there are simply no other songs that exist.
Back to work today! Hurray! Let's do some productive code or something.
That's what I thought but I don't think they agree. They really don't like electric guitar renditions of SpongeBob. I don't understand why.
Oooh I love the sinister laughing! risk reward mechanics are always rewarding...or risky. I'm starting to think people who name these things know what they are talking about.
I keep imagining little plush toys of all the different helmets, that would be awesome!
Hopefully back to work tomorrow so my neighbours can stop thinking about pineapples under the sea.
With the amount of times I've fallen over lately, could I hire you as my lift up assistant?
Indie combat systems are far the most interesting! So many wonderful and weird ways to work with limited resources. You could really make something very tense and fun.
Thanks Felix, I don't know what's happening lately, just one thing after another. I have a theory that I'm getting all the bad luck over with now so all the good luck will happen later. This is just basic science and definitely not wishful thinking. I have a degree in science...I think.
It feels like my head is constantly vibrating, it's really unsettling. Going to read Fellowship of the Ring today, hopefully by the time it's finished I'll be back to normal 🙂
Thanks Liv, I've been really careless over the past year, definitely need to make some adjustments. Getting sick of being on the floor 😕
I took a bad step while getting to my wheelchair and lost my balance, tumbled over the back of it and pulled it down on my head. My head was on the kitchen floor when it hit so the impact was horrible.
Still feel sick now but definitely better than yesterday so I should be ok soon 😀
