I love PixelComposer by @makham.itch.io ! Such a cool tool. Its a big part of my graphics workflow when it comes to #slimeonline I can only recommend this tool (even though its a bit unstable, but thats the focus of the current development cycle) #gamedev #gamemaker #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Close to releasing a new version of #slimeonline.

* Useables (Teleporters, Treasure Chests, ...)

Did spend a lot of time adding new stuff to my game. Hotbar, digging, many new assets and maps. Everything is slowly becoming an actual game! Join us on discord! discord.gg/dtDBxJSz

Lots of progress on #slimeonline the last days. Digging is in, but server is lacking the loottable. I am not doing any coding currently as I am sick… so I am creating maps instead. Already got 5 new maps in! Will add the loottable for next release #gamemaker #gamedev #indiegame #solodev #indiedev

Invested some time to make the cave map more interesting. Mushrooms now glow (not all yet), there is now a tileset-background, underwater plants, water bubbles. More will be added, but these are a nice addition already #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Digging is now in a nice spot. Visuals r there, sfx is in. Will add aa proper loottable next. The current stuff are just random items. Loottable will have depletable items and there will be hidden spots in rooms too #gamemaker #gamedev #slimeonline #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Gamedev fail. I wanted the stuff from digging to jump out and fall down... but I messed up and now the morels / mushrooms are shooting out like rockets #gamedev #gamemaker #indiegame #slimeonline #indiedev #solodev

A very early look at the digging feature. Visual effects and the logic behind the droptable will change soon, just wanted to show this. Digging will add another layer to the game <3 #gamedev #gamemaker #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #slimeonline

Working on a retro 2d platforming MMO. Focus on exploration and commubity. Current version is playable and links can be found on our discord. Still got a lot to work in, but it’s a lot of fun! discord.gg/2QnkDeqT

Been working on Slime Online for the last couple months. A cozy retro mmo focused on community and exploration. Still in early stages but progress is good. Trying to build a community. Join us! discord.gg/2QnkDeqT

About done with the hotbar! Only thing left is a tiny bugfix regarding a wrong color being applied when drawing stack-size and maybe some (not as bad) z-depth ordering

Nearly done with the hotbar now. The edit-mode is correctly showing the fitting arrow-sprite depending on whether both slots (target/dest.) have an entity. Now to implement the actual action… and then this is another feature done! discord.gg/r8xBCTqGmz #gamedev #slimeonline #gamemaker

Nearly done adding the hotbar. It’s fully working, now implementing the edit mode. Should get this done this evening. Next up will be tools (shovel, pickaxe). we got a discord for playing too! discord.gg/prNjF4ksg #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

More progress on the hotbar. Properly showing amount / remaining uses. Cooldowns visualized with clock icon and blend color. Items with unlimited uses get a unlimited icon shown. Next will be getting the images centered within the slots. #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

More progress on the hotbar. Equipping outfits and acs (also swapping accessories) works. Useables can be used through the hotbar. Will visualize cooldowns and remaining uses / charges next. There were some annoying things to take care off with this one... #gamemaker #gamedev #slimeonline

Currently working on implementing a hotbar for fast item use. I had to go through some bigger refactoring regarding the login process, but its all worth it. Working very rudimentary fornow. Missing sfx and visualization of cooldowns, no fade-out. But it's a start! #gamedev #slimeonline #gamemaker

Sorry for the dark image… it’s after 22:00 and this is inside a cave… so it’s pretty dark. Anyways, the accessor box 1 is technically in. It will reward one out of (currently) 15 possible accessories! Good progress lately #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

Finally getting the first useable items in. This took a while cause I need a sequence of callback functions through inventory and other instances due to some useables wanting player setup input before informing the server. The popup is not final either, working on it #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

Currently working on getting useable-type items into the game. These will include stuff such as teleporters, random boxes, potions... everything that can be "used". These will also be the first items that can stack or have a durability (100 out of 200 charges left). #gamedev #slimeonline #gamemaker

A quick overview of the current state of the game. Not showing the starter center though.
I did take a break from gamedev... or at least did slow down a lot recently. Getting back on track again now #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

Started implementing the "useable items" category. Now brainstorming how to display remaining charges, item count and cooldowns. Really excited for these as they will make everything a lot more reactive and exciting! #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

Invested some time to create new sprites such as bushes and trees. They are moving in the wind too! This was a day without any programming...but hey, graphics have to be done too.. and I was in the mood to do those instead #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

Fixing memory-leaks at 01:30AM ...so much fun xD Adding spatial grids for better position syncing between players in #slimeonline introduced some memory leaks... but I finally got it fixed! #gamedev #gamemaker

Nearly done replacing the old platform engine with a fsm-based platform engine. Just finished adding "bounce pads" which will repell the player. Hope to put those to good use in the mountain maps :) #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

Been way too long, but I finally got the server running again with a new client that uses UDP to sync player positions with a steady stream of packets. Everything is very smooth now, even when somebody has a 300ms ping. Good progress! #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

Showing off the new map. It's still WIP. Needs a special something. Many maps though will just serve their purpose in offering POIs or harvesting spots or nice community places #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

Things are starting to come together quite nicely. First I created some moving foliage... trees, bushes... now I am trying to find good ways to generate seamlessly repeating background patterns. It looks good in fullscreen #gamedev #gamemaker #slimeonline

I didn't do any #gamedev for some time... okay, well, I struggled with a FSM powered platformer engine and that frustrated the hell out of me... so for now I am adding assets and create maps. Really like the trees and bush #gamemaker #slimeonline #pixelart
