Day Zero, Anima Jam 2025 - Progress 2 - Character Animation file defined YouTube video by EngineerSmith

Not as exciting, but I got animations defined by file; so they can be tweaked too. Nothing is hardcoded so far. I've also been working on the dialogue system

MintMousse | Web Console Library | Love2D YouTube video by EngineerSmith

My #love2d library is alive! I can add, update, and remove components across threads. I just need to polish and add more components now. #webdev #gamedev

I've been rewriting my #love2d library which hosts a web console for your love apps. It is now running on WebSockets instead of a REST API.

I got a basic pathing ai in my #gamejam game. Now to try and get combat in! Hopefully the zombies will be a worthy foe!

Jingle Jam Game Jam 2024 - Progress 2 YouTube video by EngineerSmith

I'm in a #gamejam! After the first day, I've got a basic world, and I've started to write collision handling. It's going well so far. Hopefully it can be pulled together!

I finally made something visual to share! I've got my settings menu UI in place now, and switching between options.

I can understand the frustration from a player pov.

In my engine I use title cards to load the game; otherwise it would just a loading bar. I also want to show appreciation to people/groups who helped make the framework the game runs on. My title cards are just max 20 seconds, 3 minutes is wild

The plan is to make it fully customisable, so you can throw in whatever widgets you want and it updates in real-time. It's been a fun journey so far. I think I've rewritten it 2-3 times, just to make it easy to use. My end goal is to have a minimap that can render within the web console

Server web console | Love2D YouTube video by EngineerSmith

This is one of my old projects; a web console for #love2d. Useful for game servers - I'm still working on it on and off as an open source library. I haven't made a stable release yet, but it's always fun showing it off

#gamedev #backend

I started my programming adventure back in 2011, and started getting into game dev when I started university in 2016. I've worked in the game industry, but now I'm pursing game dev as a hobby.

Heyo! I've decided to use this account as a blog of my game development adventures. I often make games that I just throw away, so maybe it'd be nice to have it stored somewhere that can be looked back on.
