New HUD UI!

+Simple animations for energy used, HP healed/lost, lives gained/lost.

+Fully modular: Material Health (blue nodes) and Energy (pink nodes), each expandable from 4 nodes to 8 via upgrade system.

And now Rebel Core's intro level has a boss fight :)

#RebelCore #indiegame #gamedev #platformer #bossfight

New player death sequence!

It has felt really good to get a bunch of quick(er) improvements and polish items in after spending so long on the intro level boss fight.

#RebelCore #gamedev #indiegames #platformer

Upgrade terminals finally got more love too!

#RebelCore #indiegames #gamedev

I finally added something I've wanted in the game for a long time - making shots that are blocked by Shield-type elements ricochet and bounce off of them!

#RebelCore #IndieGames #GameDev

I've been working on the first boss fight for #RebelCore and had fun getting the intro bit together :)

I'm forcing myself to wait until the attack cycles are done before showing the actual fight, but it's been exciting to stretch my technical design skills while making it!

#indiegames #gamedev

Huge thanks to all of the folks who have been signing up and playing Rebel Core for the last 2 weeks as we soft-launched our early-development playtest!!

Jump over to Rebel Core: Awakens on steam to join in!

Steam :: Rebel Core :: Public Playtest Signups and Game Intro Level The time for expanded playtesting and feedback gathering has come!

Rebel Core is now open for public Playtesting signups as we continue to work toward our 2-level demo! Pretty neat that in less than 24 hours we're already at 200 playtesters

#indiegames #gamedev #RebelCore steamcommunity.com/games/376312...

Playtests for #RebelCore have been going well, but exposed the need for an Intro Level that can give some soft tutorial'n of gameplay features platformers may not be as familiar with if they didn't grow up with Mega Man X and/or older action platformers. #gamedev #indiegames

A full, end-to-end first pass on environment art in the Wastelands level sure feels good to have done!

I meant to post this early, but have been distracted working on an intro level (that doubles as a soft tutorial for the game)...

I suddenly remember why I'd been putting off art'ing up this level for so long. I reaaaaaly need to make a more modular, repeatable kit for this.

#RebelCore #environmentart #kitbash #indegames #gamedev

Systems progress? Important...but can be hard to celebrate. Visual progress? Hecks yeah my dude, have a video!

It always feels good to finally see that "Play" button in Steam. No more zip files and "what version are you on?" to setup playtests anymore!

#indiegames #gamedev #rebelcore

When you're usually on the art or tech art side of UI, but you don't want to stop @nukadilucca.bsky.social from the awesome gameplay feature he's working on.

Blocking out the full-length Wastelands level and I needed a sand/dust storm transition...pretty cool how easy Ultra Dynamic Sky/Weather makes it!

(lighting and art very WIP)

Rebel Core: Awakens - Playable Demo: Roadmap and Planning - Steam News A discussion on the why and how of building a demo for a game that is pre-alpha (and not entirely post-prototype), and a new Ambient Machinewaves video!

More info on the how, what, and why of making a demo so early into development in our latest Steam news post:

#RebelCore #indiegamedev #indiegames

And so begins the road to turning a prototype into a pre-pre-pre-alpha demo! Check out the longer version in the reply via the latest news post on our Steam page

#RebelCore #indiegamedev #indiegames

Wait...is it seriously Friday already? Planning out levels and [shhhh: plotting out a demo??] is surprisingly distracting.

#RebelCore #Indiegames #indiegamedev

I love a good test room! While improving and expanding player movement systems @nukadilucca.bsky.social made fantastic gains tightening up wall grabbing/sliding in the game.

#RebelCore #indiegamedev #indiegames #platforming

Ambient Machinewaves 03 is now up for Rebel Core! Unlike the other two videos, this one features an environment originally created to explore vertical-scrolling gameplay more than apply to a specific level in the game.

Rebel Core: Awakens on Steam A sci-fi action platformer where players can jump, shoot, slash, and shield their way through the 8 Core Robotics and their domains. Conquer levels and bosses in any order and defeat them all to reach...

So yeah, wishlist Rebel Core On Steam!! (pls and thnks)

When you made gif headers for the Steam page and remember you made one extra for other uses... (I think this qualifies as Simpsons-grade "Superliminal" messaging)

#RebelCore #IndieGames #IndieGameDev #Platformer

Is it weird to get really excited about having your main menu and level select be a fully 3d scene the camera moves through?

Less flat 2d interface and more diegetic is very fun to think about

#rebelcore #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev

What is an action platformer without bosses? Rebel Core will be home to 8 deadly domain masters - the Core Robotics, all of which must be defeated in order to access The Citadel and take on the Council therein!

#RebelCore #indiegames #indiegamedev #sidescroller

The mighty @nukadilucca.bsky.social getting knockback and i-frames going in Rebel Core makes it feel just a little bit less bad every time I take a laser to the face (or back)!

#rebelcore #indiegamedev #indiegame #gamedev #sidescroller

This Ambient Machinewaves (#2) comes with a new song clip and early look at the outskirts of The Grid - a massive complex of electrical works that has become overdrawn and unstable.
