I'm jumping back into streaming! It's been a while since but I'm excited (heh and a bit nervous) about jumping back in haha. But if you are interested in a co-working stream or curious about my process I'd love for you to join later today! #gamedev #indiedev

It's sometimes hard but I'm trying my best to celebrate the wins but it does feel weird to promote my work while also trying to respect with what is going on.

To speak plainly, it's been a wild few years for me. Some ups and, frankly, a lot of downs. And to get to the finish line to then release in the current climate with everything happening in my state and country is weird to say the absolute least.

HyperDot is finally out on Nintendo Switch!!

It's been a lot to make this happen and it has been a long, LONG time coming. But it is finally here even with a launch discount.

I'm so happy that I can finally say this you have no idea.

Working on all of these tools has really leveled up my programming chops. Learning about things that I've ignored, functions I didn't know about, or shortcuts to use later has been great...

...then there are things that happened at the end of the stream today which make me reevaluate life choices.

Quick update: this bug is fixed πŸ”¨

It now works flawlessly, you can push and pull boxes from any side (and while standing next to them)

Animations need a bit more work, but it’s fully functional

Working on Some Tools YouTube video by Charles McGregor

Ope, heh it looks like there was an error with my last stream, fortunately I still have the VOD up so if you are interested in hearing the ramblings of me while I try and figure out how to make tools while you work, you can check it out here: www.youtube.com/live/iIMucHQ...

The current town blockout. This place is a hub. The levels are mostly linear, but the areas connecting them aren't. It already has progression. There are lots of place-holder events, but you can get to the end of level 2 even though there isn't much here yet.

Wanna see how our game looks behind the scenes?

Here’s how we see a level of Shroom and Gloom in the Unity scene view while we’re developing the game.

so happy we decided to actually go with getting sprites to react to lights and shadows properly - it makes creating scenes such a joy

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Tactical Takedown is coming to Xbox and Switch next week!

And we have a new mode coming for free!! I can't wait to see people playing our new Remix mode, heh it is... fiendish to say the least.

I'm so proud of our team with this game. We did the thing yo.
