@CostasAnest @IndieCurator Oh sure, there is plenty, but they’re just doing their job. However, there are also a lot of people next to it posting “MUST HAVE” things you need to do to be successful just because.

@thepixelform @IndieCurator Don't be so pesimistic,there are several X accounts who are like you, talking about building the game. It is the best marketing imo, I can see that you love what you are doing and can understand what your game is about.

A huge wishlist can still lead to a weak launch. That’s the part many indie devs don’t talk about. Wishlist numbers can motivate you… …but they can also become a dangerous trap. Not every big number tells the full story. Real trust, real interest, and real players matter far more than impressive stats. Do you think indie devs should focus less on wishlist numbers and more on building real player trust? #IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGaming

@TForge89101 For me to design anything vision of experience for a player is the basic thing. Otherwise I have no idea what to do. It doesn't matter if it's a level or anything else.

Level building is definitely not my strong suit; I still don't quite get the hang of it. If anyone has any advice on how to develop levels, I would greatly appreciate it. #gamedev #godot #indiedev

@zifro5 Thanks for that feedback btw, it's really valuable for me.

@thepixelform Looks good, but I have two issues. That tooltip unfolding looks cursed. There should be an option to turn off the animation to make the pop up instant. Also you should look into a more legible font it is fine when the text has a higher resolution than the artwork.

"Nothing in excess." — Delphi oracle inscription I finally locked down all battle UI elements Personally I hate cluttered spaces, UI popups, so I'm trying to make as simple as functional as I can. Stats: - 24 battle scene buttons total - 4 states: hover, disabled, clicked, normal = 96 buttons. Still I need to tidy some things but, it's locked in. #pixelart #UI

@zifro5 And good catch about animation, you need tooltip once so, it will be switch off tick somwhere.

@zifro5 Tooltip is still not ready. I just made buttons. Font will be diffrent, yes.

@AndreasDavinci Maybe try posting it on X, just for yourself as self report. My post from August, how UI was back then from example

@thepixelform I really admire the art style and mechanics of your game. I'm currently developing a pixel project of my own and was curious about the tools you use. I would be incredibly grateful for any insights or workflow tips you’d be willing to share! :)

@oldyzach Moving foward!

@thepixelform 🥰

@AndreasDavinci And if you asking about workflow tips, its hard quetion, I think it's very uniqe depends of the project. I developed on the way scripts for aseprite for exporting animations, so updates for me now are super easy.

@AndreasDavinci Aseprite for visuals and Godot, that is basically it.

@nostalgicrealms Looks dope, feels immersive to me.

I finished another exterior map leading to one of the early dungeons that takes place in an abandoned keep. This will be the dungeon and exterior map we feature in the upcoming demo. Now to finish the dungeon and building interiors!

@polygnomial0 So for example too greedy decision can be punihed becausse you don't know what decision enemy will make and reverse.

@thepixelform Nice. Ambush is such a prevalent strategy in tactics, yet few games have an ambush feature. When you say each unit brawls independently, do you mean only for animation sake, or the outcome of each unit's combat is variable? I imagine most turn-based games pre-calculate outcomes.

Its not turn based like 100%, its reactive turn based so both sides doing its action in same moment. Its not real time, enemy making deciion same moment you do. And yes each unit have it own stats, and it can fail to execute order by enemy unit, beeing blocked, killed, or simmilar. There will be action points like typical turn based and ovverun mechanics, I will explain all that in longer form vid soon! It's preety simple ssystem but have some depth.

@GameDevMicah This 20/80 split is everywhere in nature. 20% of predators make 80% of kills, 20% of plants drop 80% of seeds. It's not a market problem. It's just how the world works.

Remember indiegamedevs you may already be winning

In this ambush example, it was actually a bug — the Celtic units were much slower, so almost every attack got blocked. Now it’s intended to work like that, same bit random but same variations stats for both:

In war, the greatest art is deception. Testing my ambush scenario —still heavily WIP -I added multi wave enemies mechanics -BRAWL order, once my line breaks, Each unit turns, seeks and engages independently. #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #godot #strategygame

@denfaminicogame Looks great! As an engineer, though, I can’t help but wonder what this building is actually standing on, it's just automatic. That drywall looks like paper thin to me. But hey, it’s a game, not a simulator!

@psergiomr Yeah tottaly understand, it's like my problem constantly haha.

@thepixelform Have i? yes. But i just can't keep increasing the scope :D

@amavikaya4 Hey, is this a quesstion?

@thepixelform Any wishlist in steam
