I just posted a new update on the progress of the game I'm making on my blog below, and today also marks exactly 1 year since I started working on it in my free time outside of work! Vid in the reply below if you just want to see what it looks like!

While I still have the courage for posting stuff - my wife released a visual novel last week! If you want to read a visual novel that will make you cry, please check it out!

It's been a while since I posted a devlog; the mistakes I've made while figuring out how to make the models for my first level have been humbling and I have learned a ton. I posted about it here if you're interested: autumnaton.com/map-1-models...

I've finished around 80% of the music for the game so far, and am hoping to release the rest as an album for the soundtrack in December or January.

I've released my first song in a decade (under a new artist name)! It's for one of the bosses in Rail Spirits; you can check it out here or on most streaming services under the artist name 'left mouse button'. Forgot I needed album art so I threw something abstract together in Blender for it lol

Over the past month, I've been working on finishing up the majority of the core gameplay mechanics for Rail Spirits. The full gameplay loop is finally in place! I wrote about it on my blog here: autumnaton.com/purchased-up...

Here's a quick video I threw together showing the menu and save system in action. Let me know what you think and if anything could be improved!

For the past 2 months, I've been working on adding a main menu and save system to my game, Rail Spirits. I'm excited that I'm getting pretty close to actually being able to test out the flow of the game! If you're interested, I posted more about it on my blog.

I'm spending the next month or two working on getting better at organic modelling, and figured making this rooftop sea lion statue that me and my wife (who loves pinnipeds) saw here in Portland would be good practice. More angles here: www.artstation.com/artwork/kNLZNz

I finally made a logo for my game! What do you think?

The past few weeks I've been working on adding a mid-run weapon selection system to my game, Rail Spirits, and it required some tricky work to make things scalable / reusable. I made a post about it on my blog here!

The rush to get as much done before I'll be busy grinding in Monster Hunter Wilds is real

Hi! I finally got the cart moving in the game I'm making, and I also added an enemy spawn system along with fleshing out 4 basic enemy types. I just made a new blog post on my website here with the info update if you'd like to check it out: autumnaton.com/blog/

Thanks for checking it out!! Good question! I honestly haven't checked out Azure Repos yet, but I've been meaning to; thanks for the heads up! I used GH since I know it well and Rider works well with it. For assets, I backup through Google Drive to keep the GH repo size down (that's prob not ideal).

Thanks!! That's just the test map for now (but I might use it for a tutorial area).

Here's a GIF of Rail Spirits, my work in progress rail shooter roguelite where you play a worthless wage drone trying to loot precious artifacts and fight off the ancient spirits protecting them. #godot #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #roguelite #godot4 #godotengine

Hi! I'm pretty new to posting on social media (usually I just lurk), but I've been working on my first game and wanted to share it! I just made my first blog post on my website, and I also posted it to my Tumblr and Reddit if you prefer those platforms (links in my bio). #indiedev #godot #gamedev
