Problem 18

Problem-Man is out! Collect points, and avoid ghosts through four unique mazes based on previous games! Each maze has its own art, and sound effects. Can you beat your own high score? Play it on @itchio: problem-18.itch.io/problem-man #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Can't show much today as most of the work is technical, but I now have the player persist their upgrades through pipes and rooms! Next up is to work on some level designs! Take a quick look. 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

@bett3rcallsaull Thanks!

@Problem18Dev Gj!

Fixed major bugs today, but I also spent a lot of time on improving art and the game's feel. I made my first ever "animation", where the character does something without the player's input. With that, take a look at a level's end animation! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Quite a few bugs and details! Take a look here: github.com/problem-18-dev… #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Fixed various bug fixes today involving collisions and enemies! They're hard to show off so have a look at the revised art for the consumables. Meet the backpack, energy drink and lolly pop! The energy drink turns you invincible and full of stars! 💫 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Working on improving the general art of the game, this time it was the blocks, the pipes and the biker's turn. Here's a quick look at today's work! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

First time using a shader! I took it off of godotshaders.com, and have a nice effect for when the player's invincible (star powerup). Additionally, take a look at the final art for the "phone people"! 😁 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Finally, an update after long period of silence. Last time I worked on Snack Chads, most of the gameplay was finished. So the next two weeks I will be focusing on art, and polish. Here's the player's art, no more placeholders, ayyy! 😁 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

My apartment's finally settled. It's been like two months, wtf 😭 I'm back and going to steadily start getting back to working on game #6, Snack Chads. Apologies to anyone following my journey and not seeing any updates. Step by step, we'll be back. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Currently very busy moving to my new apartment, can't wait to peacefully sit down and make some progress on Snack Chads! I still have a long way to go in the entire challenge. Apartment's awesome btw! #indiedev #gamedev #godot

@EarendelPS Thanks, will do!

@Problem18Dev That looks great! keep working on it

Finally figured out a proper flow of consuming vs being hurt and appropriately shrinking/growing! I also quickly added a death animation that is very very Mario-like! Take a look! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Added star invulnerability on pick up! New apartment means little time right now. 😅 The game looks goofy, but as I approach finishing the game's mechanics, I can focus on art and level design afterwards. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

@madob167 Thank you!

@Problem18Dev Nice!

I found an apartment and am very busy moving so my progress is slowing down. However, I was able to spare some time to implement the fireballs into Snack Chads! Look at that dude shoot! 😎 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

@JkJerry Yeah, you actually made me realize that just now!😅 Though perhaps it could be a mechanic that the fireball bounces!

@Problem18Dev It shouldn't come back na

@Solestia_JRPG Thank you! I will.

@Problem18Dev I like the concept man keep it up

@nitidgames Thanks! Yes, I am trying to start making sort of components I could reuse in the next games.

@Problem18Dev great work bro just make sure you are re using code this is a great principle for programmers or game developers, when you can obviously

Refactored some of the player's code to be more scalable as I lay the foundation for more power-ups like the fireball and star invulnerability. When the player consumes a mushroom, everything stops for a second. Just like in Mario! 😊 #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Pipe system is functional! Took me two days to think it over and I got a solution I'm happy with (at least for now!). The player can go into a separate room, and the pipe returns the player to a certain other pipe in the main level. Take a look! #indiedev #gamedev #godot
