Joel Obrist

Hello Bluesky! My name is Joel. I'm a software developer and when I find the time, I try to be a game developer. I don't have anything recent to show, but here is my first game I released a year ago!

I'm having way too much fun with the new rolling ability #gamedev #godot #platformer #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Experimenting with a new ability that allows the player to roll around like a ball to gain a lot of momentum. Still needs some fine-tuning, but I think it could be fun. #gamedev #godot #platformer #indiedev

I recreated the movement of my Unity game Star Sign in Godot. Already made some small changes and improvements. Made me remember how much fun it was working on that game. I could just swing around for hours. #godot #gamedev

We switched from purely 2D to this semi-3D style. This allows us to rotate the player to the look/move direction without having sprites that just suddenly flip. Also we just thought it looked really cool. #gamedev #godot #screenshotsaturday

Implemented a system for weapon upgrades on level up. Gun go brrrrrrrrrrrr #gamedev #godot

More progress: - Railgun weapon that pierces through enemies - bullet trails - enemies give XP when destroyed - XP-Bar and current Level UI at the top #gamedev #godot

Implemented a very basic system for picking up weapons and assigning them to a weapon slot #gamedev #godot

The drones found me... And yes, I have not figured out yet how parallax backgrounds work #gamedev #godot

Yes, work on the enemy behaviour is going very well. No problems at all. Everything working as intended. Nothing to see here. #gamedev #godot

End-to-end connectivity in my "Fast travel" prototype is now working. You can open a gate in one level, navigate the randomly generated paths, and come out at a different, completely separate level. Next up on the to-do list: 1. Make it fun 2. Build an actual game around it #gamedev #godot

Worked a little on my "fast travel" prototype. The Idea is that you enter these randomly generated dark corridors from one level and find your way to an exit gate to another level Here is what I used for the portal itself: github.com/Donitzo/godo... #gamedev #godot #ScreenshotSaturday

Made an item that guides the player to a selected destination in the randomly generated maze meant for "fast travel" between levels. #gamedev #godotengine
