The main capsule image for my game demo 'Tiny Tied'. A panda figure is displayed in the middle, reading a book. A shadowy fox figure is standing on the 'T' of the 'Tiny Tied' logo.

Currently reworking the capsule art for my game 👀

Spent today getting the english translation for my fun fair dating sim ready and adding a few details here and there! 🌸

Just a little more testing and it's ready to go~

#VNDev #RenPy #IndieDev

my friend elkortes donated a total of 15 new frames for my MVNA project 🥹 I've managed to add four of them today, gotta do the rest and finish up tomorrow.

I've also made a simple gallery to look at all available frames

#MVNA #VNDev #RenPy #IndieDev

A scene showing five different frames with simple art Noveau-inspired patterns.

Made another two frames for my ready-to-use frame pack 🍀
This time i tried doing patterns that are a little more elaborate

#MVNA #RenPy #VNDev #IndieDev

today's progress for MVNA! I'm working on a set of frames that you can easily re-color in-engine^^

Tiny Tied Demo v0.4.0 Update Hey, long time no see! Well, once again, a lot of time has passed since the last update. More than a year, in fact! Oops. But a lot has happened in the meantime! To get straight to the point, here’s.....

The new Tiny Tied Demo v0.4.0 update is now officially available on itch.io!

Here is the devlog with all new update infos :)

Godot 4.6 Release: It's all about your flow With the stability gained over the past five releases, it's time for polish and quality of life improvements for everyday development.

The new release is there! 😄

I am really excited about the new version. Love the game 😍

Tiny Tied Demo by Merpui Every action has consequences.

So, there's some kinda good news! You can already play the latest version of my demo here on itch!

merpui.itch.io/tiny-tied-demo

However, over the last few days, I've noticed some things that I still need to address. So an 'official' release of the update is still to come!

#GameDev #IndieDev

Devlog #16

I shall build a web app for my game, to exchange games, for a dashboard + highscore table.

Elixir + Phoenix are the tools for the web app. To refresh my knowledge, I solved the first five puzzles of Advent of Code in an Elixir Livebook - great fun!

I am really excited to see the next update of Tiny Tied 😜😊🎉🥂

The next update of Tiny Tied Demo may finally be ready in the next few days 🥹

Definitely soon!

Devlog #15

Found back into the Godot version of Jumptix. It took me some time to find the right motivation to continue.

Built first animations: when the player is hit by a bullet, when the player collects rewards.

Godot 4: Digital glitch shader (tutorial) YouTube video by FencerDevLog

Hi everyone! We’re almost at the end of the year - at least at the time of recording this video—which means we still have time for one more broken-screen effect. This time, it will be a simulation of an LCD monitor that has suffered some sort of internal malfunction.

It's really fun to implement physics with C++ - but it takes a lot of time. As I want to make a game, and as I am much more productive with Godot, I switch priority to develop Jumptix with Godot, and work on the C++ version later.

Devlog #14

Collision detection of rectangles is easy, collision resolution much harder. Made a debug mode to see collider shapes.

It is tedious to find good parameters for dragging and deceleration.

#C++ #SDL3 #Platformer

Devlog #13

I started to implement two subclasses of Entity: Player and Tile which hold different components.

First task: collision detection and resolution.

#C++ #SDL #EntityComponent

Devlog #12

There is a base class Entity with the same virtual functions as components plus more virtual functions like handleCommand, handleCollision.

And there are template functions for the component management: addComponent<Type>, getComponent<Type>, removeCompenent.

Devlog #11

Now there is a base class component with three virtual functions, to handle events, to update the state of the component for every tick, and to render the component.

And I have some specific component subclasses: image, input, transform, physics, collision with properties and methods.

I needed a break from writing dialogue, and my game demo still has enough space for more characters.

This one had been in my head for a long time, and finally having him drawn in front of me feels really good!

#IndieDev #GameDev #IndieGame #PixelArt

Devlog #10

In the second half of November I started to implement component classes like transform, physics, image, input etc. for different entities (i. e. game objects) like player, tile, enemy, trap etc.
I found a good tutorial by StudyPlan.dev

#C++ #GameDev

Devlog #9

I need a structure, a composable architecture to implement properties and methods for the game objects. I expect no performance problems and wont need arrays of systems for a good pre-caching.
So, a simple EC-System should be good enough and easier to implement.

#C++ #GameDev #ECS

C++ 2D Game Engine Development Learn to make a simple 2D game engine using modern C++, SDL, ECS, and Lua scripting.

Devlog #8

Or should I implement my own ECS-System?

There is a cool tutorial by Gustavo Pezzi for the development of your own game engine.

I think that I dont need an ECS-System for my game Jumptix. A simpler EC-System should be sufficient.
