Stumbled across some old footage of #SPLEENWEEVIL
Old HUD, switchable weapons, glowy RED

Screenshot of a WIP First Person Shooter written in Godot. Image shows a blue / grey textured landscape with some glowing, distant enemies approaching the player. The player is shooting their gun at said enemies as particles emit from the muzzle / bullet impacts

Writing your own 'engine' is a ton of work. I love the gameplay code but collisions, physics, rendering is such a time sink!

I'm going to pivot to @godotengine.org again for the new thing.

#ERROR_PROTOCOL is going to be an FPS, building on what I learnt writing #SPLEENWEEVIL

#SPLEENWEEVIL is now available for free on Itch.io at pumpkingames.itch.io

Paladin also donationware too.

Thanks to all the folks who have supported me over the years. Means a lot :-)

I'll figure out how to unstitch Glitchangles from Steam at some point too.

Screenshot of an XNA game depicting rolling hills with some low poly enemies dotted about, using a wireframe aesthetic

A bit more progress from my #XNA / #MoonTools.ECS demo project - looking a lot more like #SPLEENWEEVIL in this one. I'll possibly go with a style similar to Lander / Zarch, maybe :-)

Taking a little break from #Godot / #SPLEENWEEVIL to do a bit of a 3d thing with FNA and MoonTools.ECS (both are great frameworks / libraries). Advise checking them out if you like that sort of thing.

Screenshot of a WIP indie FPS written in C# and Godot. Image depicts a wireframe landscape with some "vaporwave", low poly mountains in the background. A few enemies approach the player.

Possible new mountain style in #SPLEENWEEVIL - not sure I'll keep them though 🤔

Indie FPS SPLEENWEEVIL. Image depicts a glowing, 80s retro, wireframe landscape. Some enemies, some frendlies and a big energy sparking gun!

Screenshot of a Controls menu for the indie game, SPLEENWEEVIL. Image shows a gamepad settings tab with various controls and help images explaining the options.

Add gamepad support he said - it'll be fun he said! Doesn't help that Godot is corrupting my scenes every 5 minutes.

The CORRUPTION getting up close and personal

Adding joypad support to #SPLEENWEEVIL. Aim assist, magnetism, input damping all that sort of stuff.
…and more UI, obviously 😃

#SPLEENWEEVIL Still working on that there HUD!

This Youtube video popped up the other day "Building a game as FAST as possible" - this is a full time indie dev and I believe the intention was to take 4 months?!

I think I've legit taken longer on just the HUD in #SPLEENWEEVIL 😀

Screenshot of an indie FPS written in the Godot game engine with a wireframe aesthetic similar to the Atari classic, BattleZone. The image depicts a scene, tinited blue with a subtle noise shader indicating the player is shielded.

Also shows a new HUD style with stats around the reticule. This can be turned off / dimmed
You can also use the orginal HUD
