Who's ready to play the demo today? Are we all excited to destroy our game and make me fix 20 bugs? :D

Another old feature that got scrapped: keys. Trying to design levels around carrying keys just really never worked out.
#indiegame #gamedev #SolarVoltage
This was the first fully fleshed out level I designed. A bit basic, but it helped a lot seeing how levels would flow, what worked, what didn't, etc.
None of this made it to the final build, sadly
#indiegame #gamedev #SolarVoltage
Oh yeah, we're nearly at 1,000 wishlists on Steam! Thank you so much for supporting us so far. Can we hit that by the end of the year?

I'm always trying to find new uses for each of Volt's abilities. The ground pound wasn't getting enough love, so these pipes were a way to give it more function
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
This is one of my favorite mechanics I've added to the game. Get stuck in the snowball and you're safe from fire!
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
Solar Voltage is a scifi, isometric platformer. We've been working hard on this game, I hope you enjoy!

#SolarVoltage #indiegame
Slowly but surely modding support is being built up
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
Of course things have improved a lot since I created first created that mechanic.
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
Just working on more game mechanics. And a bit of puzzle design as well. Learning the ins and outs of how this game works.
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
And now more sprite work. The spin animation really needed work, but the I still love the jump animation. This is the day things started clicking for this game. Going from silly project to a real game
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
This was a fun enemy to work on, though not much else to report here.
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
"Hey what happened to the sprites you were working on?"
Yeah so they weren't scrapped. I just didn't want people confused why the sprites weren't finished while playtesting, so I created temp art.
Also wall jumping!
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
After months, this is when I finally decided to give her real sprites! She'd still go through some updates as we know, but it's close to what we have now
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
One of the first enemies I designed. Look at them go!
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
An old mechanic that was lost during development.
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
This was a proper attempt at real level design, finally! Learning how this game ticks, what makes it fun.
#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
Working on more sprites for #SolarVoltage and had some fun with this guy. Poor thing
A lot more in this video:
Updrafts, which get reworked into something else.
Swings were scrapped for many reasons. I still miss them.
And gems which are retextured in the final game.

Here's the start of one of the core mechanics! Along with... an awful lava texture. This is also be the start of the spin attack.

#gamedev #indiegame #SolarVoltage
Another mechanic test. This one went through a lot of iterations before it got to the version we have in game today.
