To my great shock and amazement, I got a navmesh working with vleueu_navigator today! It will certainly take some iteration to actually be useful in the game, but I can get a path and move a little trash bandit in the right direction. (and then it flies off into the great unknown, but one step at a time!)
The docs for the crate are pretty good, but what I found most helpful was cloning the repo and looking at the examples.

Did you know that Petit Grou was the main character of my first social media accounts and of my game jams when I was learning how to program?
For his 13th Petit Grou Day, I will tell his story again 😃 -
Prototyping a game while also learning Bevy means I spend a lot of time refactoring ECS functions to be more modular. I know that’s “bad” game dev practice but I’m also a bad game dev, so I think that’s on brand for me.

Saw a game called Alpha Spectrum advertised by its solo dev on Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/r/Cyberpunk/comments/1vc1m7a/comment/p110qv9/
It looks interesting enough. I like the aesthetic it's going for: #cyberpunk #DeusEx. It's not first-person, but third-person isometric, which is probably easier to handle as a solo dev (that's been working on it in the moonlight for eight years). They say they're a huge fan of Deus Ex. Me too :)
They have no Fediverse presence it seems. But they do have a steam page and a website.

I spent entirely too much time getting game menus to work with mouse, keyboard, or gamepad input in bevy and now I’m wondering if there’s a simple way to do it I just overlooked…

Turscar Isle is now available on Steam (and itch.io)!
Nobody likes spammers or phishers. So, how about robbing the fuckers back? Get in, take it nice and slow, and leave when you think you've got enough.

Update day!
There's a new setting: The Dessert. It's hot and largely empty. Don't forget to bring some water.
In a bid to make thievery worthwhile, you'll now get gold when pickpocketing as well as loot. More gold than you would by killing, too.
Also new 3d-looking buttons. And a whole lot of new bugs. So many bugs. My todo list is longer than when I started today. Whoops!
Enjoy!

gonna toot at least this one. i love this ink, i adore it, i wish to just draw and draw and draw with it. 'tis Koh-I-Noor Technical Drawing Ink in Blue. 'tis acrylic ink so u cant put it in pens, but it can be used with dip pens, glass pens and brushes. here i used Leonardt Hiro 41 nib, for example.
the dragon here is basically a concept for one of my games and technically he's my character as well. am not doing gamedev now as it burns me out and i dont have enough personal resources for it, but i still sometimes think and even sketch my characters from there. this concept is tbh wrong. the dragon looks slightly different. i failed to capture what was on my mind. but i still love the sketch cuz i enjoyed it a lot and the ink was awesome to draw with.

New domain! https://rollrpg.quest/
Also some updates: there's fire, mysterious potions and some other minor bits. It's all in the change log.
Enjoy!

Update time!
The priority at the moment is to make the game more interesting and varied. This update makes investigation worthwhile and gives some creatures resistance or vulnerability to certain actions. Plus a few bug fixes and more minor changes.
Full change log can be found on the homepage.
Enjoy!

(I will just copy the text from Krita forum cuz I must use the leftovers of my energy to write alt text at least somehow.)
'Tis an older work, ~month ago. I currently dont have resources to even doodle.
The ink’s Noodler’s Black Swan In English Roses with Hocoro dip pen with 1mm nib and Robert Oster Thunderstorm in Sailor Young Profit (the latter’s used only for spikes, teeth and eye).
This is one of the main characters from my setting in which my game projects take place. But being burnt out I sadly had to put the whole gamedev thing aside as I cant return to even just drawing in digital for now…

Development of Turscar Isle is officially done! The full version comes out on the 2nd of July.
Stick to the shadows, stay silent, and exact poetic justice on an evil cult of spammers by stealing everything they haven't nailed down.

Wow, I just got a first-ever purchase on of my games, Mansion Malevolence! Considering the payment for the game is voluntary, it's utterly awesome 😍

Last week, I made a Jetpack Joyride clone for "20 Games Challenge". It lacks some elements (vfx, more coins, robots, etc.) for now. Other than that, what do you think I should include next?

Ailleurs is an experimental prototype about music instruments I find soothing. I want to change many things in the future, but there's no rush, it's just for fun 😊

About games: Pingouin & Raptor is my hidden object game as a solo dev, on itchio
https://sev-4.itch.io/pingouinraptor
I plan to finish the level I started a while ago for the next update, and hopefully, to create more in the future! -
Somewhat concept piece of one character from the setting who's also an NPC in a few of future games (which almost all take place in that setting). I've no idea in which games the guy's gonna appear yet but they're an important part of the story. I kinda wanna finish this sketchy piece one day, into something bigger than just a 30 min doodle lol.
Am aware my digital handwriting is arse, but I do it mostly for meself n 'tis not even a final concept for PDF guide lol so I decided to leave it all as is for now. Anyway the guy's not gonna appear in a few first games so am not in a hurry with them.

I dont get it how folks save their unsuccessful code to reuse later. If a piece of code didna succeed - I exterminate it. Bc how the heck am I supposed to reuse the thing I hate lol.
(Recently deleted lots of game scripts again bc didna like how imperfectly optimised it all was. Cant keep that shame even in the archives.)

Updated the demo for Turscar Isle: Irish localisation, some atmospheric changes, setting up for a harder no-gear level, and a hidden switch to activate Big Head Mode...nothing crazy...

Worrrking on the game… Just some WIPs for the sprite and part of griffin (one of the types) concept. I do not like this pose for idle sprite, looks more of just artwork, dunno. Just looks like a pixel artwork for a scene or smthn. Will experiment more, mb will finish it anyway but dunno fr. second time doing pixel art n 'tis no easy at all really.
If the griffin looks unwell/unhealthy - am happy, that’s the supposed look xD tried to use some features from those birds living near the water but I cant even remember their name (not seagulls, those bigger ones who usually have funny names) and sketched from memories so ofc will be fixing everything later. For now am happy I managed at least something today.

Only 5 hours left on the Games From Ireland sale on Steam! Meaning, in 6 hours my semi-cyberpunk stealth shooter Turret Baffler is no longer going to be 75% off. So grab it while you can!

My initial attempt at localising Turscar Isle into Irish...because "turscar" itself is the Irish word for spam.
Any "mistakes" within are *ackshually* the spammers' archaic dialect!!1! 😜

DEVLOG 6: Диалоговая система встречает счётчик стиля из Devil May Cry
Всем привет. Сегодня будем обсуждать механику счётчика стиля из Devil May Cry, но в диалоговой системе! Играя в DMC, я заметил, что момент, когда вы открываете счётчик комбо - а мне нравится это делать подкидыванием демонов в воздух - похож на то же ощущение, которое я испытываю при открытии сноски в диалоге. Это даёт ощущение перехода на более сегментированный аспект системы - сперва приёмы в воздухе, потом на земле и снова в воздухе. Или как у меня - диалог, сноска, диалог, сноска, сноска, диалог. Так что я решил попробовать добавить эту систему в свою демку.

Updated the demo and started an *open* playtest for Turscar Isle. If you like stealth games and hate spammers (and be honest, *everyone* hates them), then give it a try and let me know what a pile of rotten seaweed it is!

cringe fun fact: i will never create platformer games bc i just plain suck at them. never was able to finish any platformer fr, even those old ones on phones were too much of a challenge somehow. so i just look at all the pretty platformers n kinda envy those who can enjoy them lol. cant create a one bc just wont be able to even test it normally.

Today's edition of dumb bugs that might become a feature: if an entire sector goes on alert, all NPCs respond to it. Even the dead ones.
I guess the cult of spammers that make this game's antagonists are *that* devoted to vomiting crap into inboxes 🤔 And turning people into cyborgs that vomit crap into inboxes...
