It's days like today that make me glad we made our own engine for Puppetmaster. Sure, it took almost 4 years, and C has its own difficulties, but we have full control of our code and never have to worry about licensing issues. Glad to be an independent indie. #IndieDevs

Based on feedback on the other videos, we made another that showcased a lot more combat to show how different this game is. Platform-fighter combat is a good mix with a metroidvania, especially when the enemies start comboing you! #indiegame #gamedev #Kickstarter #Puppetmaster

This was one of the earliest features in the game engine. I always wondered why a game like Hollow Knight, with such beautiful background areas, wouldn't occasionally pull the camera back to show the depth of the design. So, it was one of the first things I made for Puppetmaster.

Zooming is a great tool for showing off your game's art and gameplay design, yet few 2D games use it (and especially not metroidvanias!). Atmosphere is everything, and zooming in or out can help a lot. #screenshotsaturday #metroidvania #gamedev #indiegame #Puppetmaster

Here's a cool look at that test level with a zoomed out view in our custom editor. We only built as much as was necessary to get the shot for our Kickstarter trailer we did last year. Still looks good though! #metroidvania #gamedev #indiegame #Kickstarter #screenshotsaturday

For this week’s #screenshotsaturday we have an older screenshot of a test we did for the design of a late-game area. The demo is mostly darker colors for story reasons, so we’re very excited to work with brighter colors soon. #Kickstarter #gamedev #indiegame #metroidvania

In Puppetmaster, one of the unlockable mechanics is Combat Augments, which allow you to customize your attacks. In this video I find an Augment that lets me switch my forward aerial attack to a stronger downward slam, if I prefer. #metroidvania #indiegame #gamedev

@_gabrielgames_ Also, the demo alone took 3 years to make, not entirely because I had to learn C along the way and reprogram the various gameplay systems a dozen times. :)

#Puppetmaster was programmed from scratch in C, giving us a huge amount of control over the various gameplay systems. Also, we made a complex multithreaded image-decompression system that makes levels load almost instantly. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #metroidvania

This is one of the first entirely unique mechanics I came up with for Puppetmaster. No more annoying long walks back to bosses!... provided you have spaced out your Totems enough to still have one in your inventory.
Gabriel Games@_gabrielgames_

In #Puppetmaster, there's no bonfires or benches. Instead, you can place down a Totem to save your game and set your respawn point *wherever* you want... as long as you have enough collected. You can return to an old one at any time, too. #metroidvania #indiegame #gamedev
