Last minute #goblingirlgame #screenshotsaturday!

Some new QoL movement polish:

When she's about to run into a wall she'll skid a bit, giving you a chance to turn and avoid the collision.

She'll also pause drawing her sword when facing a wall till you turn toward a free path.

A lot of the time spent on this #GoblinGirlGame project has been figuring out what the equivalents of "coyote time" and "jump buffering" are for maze running and bump combat.

The sort of stuff Madeline Thorson
talks about in this old Celeste post

Little update to last night's #GoblinGirlGame post. The new skidding animation means you can pump your speed stat up to absolutely ludicrous levels and still stay (almost) in control.

Should you do this? Probably not, but you can!

I've been working on enemy movement lately, so added some new features to my debug display system. Entities can now display their current state and movement targets.

BUMP COMBAT!

#indiedev #pixelart #screenshotsaturday #GoblinGirlGame

Damage values are just for testing, normally when this specific enemy is idle it doesn't do damage.

A lot going on under the hood I want to talk about (much more than you'd think!) but today is Toronto Comic Arts Festival so will leave that for some other Saturday.

Today's #screenshotsaturday, a little chest spawning animation for the #goblingirlgame! Going to get secrets working to spawn these next week.

TREASURE PICKUPS!

Also got a Druaga style secrets system working to spawn these, but will hold off showing that till I have the level start and end screens in.

Bonus classic endless treasure chest spawning bug!

The pose in earlier post is a little reference to the PC-Engine version of Tower of Druaga's "no chest found" level complete screen.

For #screenshotsaturday, a hint/riddle screen that appears between dungeon floors. I showed a smaller slice of this screen awhile back, but now that it's in the game here's the full thing!

#screenshotsaturday on a Sunday because I didn't have time yesterday.

Attacking these knights will knock their helmets off, blinding them and making them go berserk, attacking anything and everything, including other monsters!

New character reveal for #screenshotsaturday!

Goblin girl X elf girl, frenemies for life.

Bonus #screenshotsaturday, an animated gif of all the emotions I've drawn for the goblin girl portrait so far.

Game Dev Rule: Once you add a character portrait to your HUD, you are legally mandated to include Doom / Madou Monogatari style facial expressions to convey health status.

In Game Dev Court: "Your honor, please ignore the fact that we broke this rule in Subway Dogs. There were so many guest dog portraits. We HAD to break the law!"
