Sandstorms! One of the weather effects in the desert, still WIP. Should it be even more intense visually and have heavy gameplay implications? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #pixelart

@ProgOrion Thanks! And yeah, there could definitelly be more environmental noise and general visual polish.

@Achrileg I really like how the bees move! But I'm wondering if the ground feels a bit empty to my taste or not. Keep it up!

No! Not the bees! 🐝🐝🐝 Use these little insects as a great distraction, but be careful not to get stung yourself #indiedev #gamemaker #pixelart

@KalengoPhiriJnr Thank you lots :)

@Achrileg Looking good!

@Wizerl2 Thanks! Appreciate it :D

@Achrileg This is so cool idea. Loving it

@mishanskee Good! Took a small break before ramping up the development, some cool stuff coming up. Really, really appreciate you asking. =D

@Achrileg how are you? no updates in recent weeks 😰

Explosive barrels! Use the environment and improvise! Besides red barrels™, what do you think are must have environmental tools? #indiedev #gamemaker #pixelart

@Zeoinx That's actually a very cool idea! "Simple geometry" ^^

@Achrileg Cool idea would be maybe able to cut down down trees to tip over onto a area of effect and either stun, or squish

@ZooQAnimals No wishlist juuuust yet, but we're aiming for pc/steam first

@Achrileg steam wishlist?🙏🏽 what platform are you targeting?

@BigWhoopGames Yeah, good idea! Gotta figure out where it makes sense now =o

@Achrileg True, maybe some ice slicks would be easier.

@BigWhoopGames True! Though stuff like an oil-slick is begging to have more interaction layers and be ignitable - that's tough x.x

@Achrileg Just give your player a debuff that changes their friction or accell when they are in the area of effect

@Wizerl2 Sandstorm is such a must have, you're right! We really want to add different environmental tools and obstacles depending on the environment, so nice ideas there!

@Achrileg It heavly depends on the environment we are in tbh. In here could be fire if you have a fuel and ignition. Barbewire if you get into a camp and they might set it up. Cactus on contact ofc. Might not really be a hazard, but Sandstorm that decreases perception and sight range?

@CollaborationG7 Thanks! Appreciate it

@Achrileg Looks great.

@butterByTheFish Ain't that right! Player made earthquakes xD

@Achrileg Must have? More explosive red barrels™! There can never be enough screenshake from too many chain-explosions.

@BigWhoopGames Oooh, poison clouds as a lingering hazard is a great idea! Oil slicks and water stuff sounds really cool as well, but hard ^^

@Achrileg Poison clouds, oozes and slimes, maybe some oil fires or electrifying water.

@Salvakiya Thank you! =D

@Achrileg love it!

🧨🧨🧨 Worm-oil grenades sure pack a boom Too much or too little? #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #gamemaker #pixelart

@NoahVoiceActs ^^ Thanks!

@north_spire Couldn't agree more ^^

@Achrileg Big boom is big fun
