Kryptic Studios

Twitter/X is really bad at handling longer threads and I'm too lazy to compress everything, so I'm posting a link to @bluesky detailing my design philosophy for #StarDancers mobs since it offers more room per post. Suck it, @elonmusk bsky.app/profile/krypti…

My first attempts at fluid physics.... I've got so much work ahead of me..... #coding #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #programming #StarDancers

I'm not seeing Ais on here when I try tagging, if you know if they have a handle here just let me know and I'll tag them properly!

With some advice from 'Ais Sprite', I'm trying out a different workflow to hopefully optimize workflow and encourage consistency in my style. Nothing screams beginner tools like a stick on a stick. Unga-bunga. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #art #StarDancers

This past week I've been working on adding walls, caves, water basics, and better generation in general. If you have any dogs give them a pet and tell them I said they were a good boy/girl. This is a threat.🔫🙂 #gamedev #indiedev #programming #godot #solodev #StarDancers

Made a LOT of updates, including damage and levels for chat and myself. Plus animations. Plus phrases. Plus a bunch of other stuff I can't remember because I've been blindly hyper-focusing on this thing for days now... #godot #streamer #vtuber #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

I'm still on the fence, but I MIGHT get back into #streaming in the near future while I work on pixel art assets for #StarDancers. A short test of my #godot #overlay I made over a year ago. It still works surprisingly. #coding #vtuber #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #streamer

Man I hate trees. Their stupid trunks and their stupid leaves. Their stupid wood and stupid roots and stupid photosynthesis. #coding #godot #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #StarDancers #programming #trees

I'm FINALLY working on planets again! Instead of making all the art as I go along, I made a simple "template" system where I can do quick color swaps for different block types, then can come back and work on the art later. Good for prototyping! #coding #godot #solodev #indiedev

I'm honestly loving how responsive and snappy the movement feels now. While charging a boost, your ship's turn speed increased by 50%. Also working on procedurally generated asteroids. #coding #godot #StarDancers #indiegame #solodev #indiedev

Movement updates! -Charge boost your engine, allowing quick direction changes in the heat of combat. -Starship trails, 'cuz it looks cool. -You can now strafe back left and right instead of fighting momentum. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot #StarDancers

I HATE WORKING WITH UI SO MUCH I SWEAR TO GOD! Here's a planetary orbit state where you can select a celestial body to visit. It also goes directly to the orbit state if you choose a planet as a destination in the Star System Map! #coding #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot

The ship doesn't just "warp" anymore, it DETONATES. Plus a big background and warp visuals overhaul. #indiegame #solodev #indiedev #space #godot #coding #GonePlaid

Playing around with warp effects at the moment. I still need to work more on the warm-up and cool-down tho.... Also added in orbiting planets, giving you time to choose your destination or just coast in orbit for a while. #coding #solodev #gamedev #stardancers #indiedev

FINALLY added in moons and their orbits into Star Systems. The complexity of it all is getting out of scope for the current UI, so I might have to redo some things to make it sensible. #coding #godot #space #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

-Planets now orbit their respective Sun! -You can now WarpDrive across the Star System! -You can open the map and watch yourself zoom across Star Systems! -System Map now shows player facing direction! -Complete Starship Overhaul! #coding #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #godot #pixel

Star Dancers v0.0.0.2 is finally out! There's a lot of beginning feature implimentations in this update, and equally as many bugs. Released it early primarily for feedback while I iron out details. #godot #indiedev #solodev #gamedev kryptickralo.itch.io/star-dancers/d…

My April Fool's Prank was spending the past two days implementing Character Save data and Inventory Permeance because I'm too broke and sleep deprived to do much else. Get pranked, nerds. #coding #aprilfools #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot

After playing @RealMrSkeletal's game, I realized I needed to put in a disclaimer in my game as well since it's also in early in development. Should have so this MUCH sooner. Go buy his game btw, that's a threat: skeletonsoftware.itch.io/decay-chain #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #godot
