I *think* the enemy spawner works. I think a lot of things.
ALSO: don't forget to DM/subscribe if you want to be a playtester for the prototype!

The official call for playtesters (apart from just DM'ing me!), the launch of hollergames.com, and a detailed breakdown of how I hunted down and fixed two major bugs, all in today's update. May 4th is coming quickly!

All right, that's a good-enough main menu for the prototype. The itch.io page is also done. I have just a few small tasks left before May 4th.
It looks like it's happening!

I'll reveal how to sign up for Beatdown in the Holler's playtesting later this week. For now, though, a brief foray into the unglamorous yet vital world of bug hunting and bug fixing. Thanks for reading!

Hi!
I’m a solo game developer currently making Beatdown in the Holler, a Vampire Survivors-like with a reelshot mechanic. You can follow my progress and sign up to be a playtester at:
hollergames.com

I've got the tileset, I've got a sketch of the map, and I have a soft launch for playtester signups, all in today's update! Perhaps you'd like to read and share?

Wherein I set a manageable to-do list for this week, the first of seven weeks to go before the prototype releases. As always, thanks for reading!

Sorry about that week-long break: it was either stop posting or stop developing. I chose the former and have a lot to show for it as a result. As always, thanks for reading!

The PMG Podcast is going weekly starting Monday, March 16th. Fewer, longer, better episodes sound like a good thing. Thanks for listening!

Updates feel kinda thin lately because I don't get a lot done for BDitH during the workweek, so I ask:
Would a weekly episode be better?

Am I going to let low water pressure ruin my progress? No, but only if I work through it!
As always, thanks for listening and I'll see you tomorrow!

It's a shorter update, but I had a busy day yesterday and I'm devoting today to actually, you know, making a game! Thanks for reading!

What are some good #gamedev communities, particularly for people still new to #indiedev? I'm still getting the hang of Discord, but I suppose that's where a lot of them are. . . for now. As always, thanks for listening and I'll see you on Monday!

Zel can now walk in all four directions! What's next? The reelshot and attack animations. Slowly but surely, I'm making progress. Thanks for listening and I'll see you tomorrow!

Another walking animation cycle done, what I know about my personal inertia, and how I keep going to prevent falling back into it, all in today's episode! Thanks for listening and I'll see you tomorrow!

This week's to-do list is deceptively short: only two items but one of them involves approximately all the sprites.

I did a LOT this week. Elevation is now a thing, as are an overworld theme and a main menu. Read about those and the clarification between JBtH and BDitH in this week's devlog!

With this week's to-do list done, I talk about the unseen part of game development: sitting down and planning.
