New enemy

Made a new enemy. Because every FPS must have a "cacodemon".

Hi dear friends,

And please get out your calendars, because…

A Tavern at Night: Firelight will be releasing on 24 April, 2024!

That's right!! We get to annoy the living daylights out of our big green boy again!!!

I'm so thankful for all the love and support A Tavern at Night has received (and continues to receive!)--and of course for the demands for more. Well, I heard you loud and clear, and here he is.

Firelight picks up after A Tavern at Night's "good" ending. There will be multiple endings, chooseable pronouns, and... some kind of card game! Sorry, Azram. There's no escape.

And of course this game is ace-friendly as always :)

I'm so excited for you all to play!!

Much love,

qk

Testing a new method for tall grass :)

(don't worry, there won't be a random square patch of grass on the beach, this is just The Test Grass)

Before, I was using the Game Boy Zelda game trick: grass is a tile, and then I just throw a grass sprite on top of the player to make it look like they're inside it. Clever, and it's surprisingly convincing!

But now, this uses the sprite tilting method, which I've been using heavily throughout, to create "3D" grass, and it works so much better than I expected. Also more consistent with the perspective I'm going with!

Wheeeeeeeee

Been thinking of making a business card for cons! Might tweak stuff like the QR size, but what do you think? It’ll have all the info on the back 🙂

Casual reminder that if you're worried or demotivated about making a game because 'someone else already made your idea', remember some handy tips:

1) There are no original ideas. Almost all ideas in game development are derivative. Ideas are reinterpreted, reimagined, redesigned. Creation is transient and no concept exists in a vaccuum; every game that exists was inspired, conciously or not, by a game that came before it and there are no exceptions. Game design is 99% stealing mechanics and reappropriating them to your context. Embrace that and let them inspire you, not demotivate you.

2) They didn't 'make your idea', they made their own version of a concept, just as you would be making your own version of a concept if you made yours. Concepts are multi-faceted and can have a plethora of interpretations be different people. It's why we have Star Wars, Star Trek, and the 80000 other space fantasy media properties. Make your own version of the thing and it will live on its own merits.

3) No one cares about something being derivative as much as you do. People who like the thing that is similar to your concept will look at your thing and go "wow, now I have two things to play!". Learn to ignore yourself.

4) Enjoy the process of making things, and not just having the final product. Make art for the enjoyment of making it, not just to be the first one past the goal post.

Sincerely a person who has made many games inspired by other things. :)

I am a solo indie dev trying to overcome my anxiety and actually let people know my game exists. It is a cute physics based game where you are the level.

I love making this game with passion and I am so excited to share it with the world, but somehow I need to let the world know. Unfortunately the way steam works is the more wishlists the more visibility, so if you are interested it is super appreciated :)
