Previously, enemy attacks would perfectly track the player, but now they're slower at rotating based on the size/weight of their weapon. It feels and looks a lot better, as it should allow players to play more with spacing and positioning. #gamedev #indiedev27 Oct 2025 05:56 +0000at://did:plc:txgamjw5xee347wlrjosc2pc/app.bsky.feed.post/3m45qb2rnis2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/goldengratus.com/post/3m3vluqagvk2vNew post about my time at SXSW Sydney! It was an awesome week. https://goldengratus.com/2025/10/24/sxsw-sydney-x-memoirium/ #devblog #indiedev #gamedev #sxswsydney24 Oct 2025 00:16 +0000at://did:plc:txgamjw5xee347wlrjosc2pc/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3vluqagvk2vhttps://bsky.app/profile/goldengratus.com/post/3lziafmmnpc2oIn response to the blatant corruption in our country, I felt inspired to create a new enemy called a capitalist creature. They carry briefcases and throw bills that do 1 damage to the player. #gamedev #TrillionPesoMarch #BahaSaLuneta23 Sep 2025 05:56 +0000at://did:plc:txgamjw5xee347wlrjosc2pc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lziafmmnpc2ohttps://bsky.app/profile/goldengratus.com/post/3lz3euegf522jFeels weird to create or update game mechanics and have it run smoothly. There's always that itching feeling that I've overlooked something, and it'll bite me later. Oh well, I'll always find out sooner or later. #gamedev https://media.tenor.com/f-ep5QOnPd8AAAAC/wait-like-theres-a-ghost-right-behind-me-isnt-there-shaggy.gif?hh=202&ww=36018 Sep 2025 03:11 +0000at://did:plc:txgamjw5xee347wlrjosc2pc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lz3euegf522jhttps://bsky.app/profile/goldengratus.com/post/3lxy22s5q322khttps://goldengratus.com/2025/09/04/optimization-polish-and-achievements/ Short post on what I've been up to~ #gamedev #devblog #indiedev #indiegame04 Sep 2025 01:54 +0000at://did:plc:txgamjw5xee347wlrjosc2pc/app.bsky.feed.post/3lxy22s5q322khttps://bsky.app/profile/goldengratus.com/post/3lxljrcdeh222Crazy to think I've been working on this since 2022.
