Iโ€™ll be at the GameMaker one. I noticed Godot didnโ€™t have one and was pretty bummed.

Every now and then I think about the possibility of expanding To The Trenches to other platforms.
Yeah there's Steam and Itch, but one that has recently caught my attention is @gx.games

It's been a while since I last posted. It's only because the @dadmadethings.com team and I have been VERY busy working on Update 1.7 and our ๐ŸŽƒ 2nd Halloween Event ๐ŸŽƒ for #ToTheTrenches!

Here's a little photo dump of what's to come.

The team has really outdone themselves with this update. To The Trenches looks incredible with the enhanced Lighting and FX system. The new achievement system and career room lets players earn and showoff their accolades! ๐ŸŽ–๏ธ

Can't wait to see to see what people share!

If I wasnโ€™t so consumed with development, I would have flown in from the USA and experienced the event!

Would have been an opportune time to show you guys the Debug app firsthand! ๐Ÿ“ฑ

Iโ€™m hoping I can soon start getting out more to meet awesome members of the #indieDev community.

Have fun! ๐ŸŽฎ๐ŸŽ‰

Some incredible progress made to our lighting system in To The Trenches.

@foxyofjungle.bsky.social has been a valuable resource and everyone at @dadmadethings.com appreciates all that he has done for our game.

First thing I had to do was load Debug++ onto my @debugmag.com mobile app prototype.

Can't wait to kick back, relax and read through all of the new content!

The community engagement, consistent drive for innovation and the willingness to explore new avenues is what makes @debugmag.com such a great addition to fun and informative content in the Indie Games space.

I have already subscribed (which is free!!!) and downloaded my Debug++ copy! ๐Ÿ“–๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿค“

Replaced the spawner buttons with a Drag-n-Drop system. Was able to remove 5 objects with a much more maintainable and interactive process.

Entries officially close in 24 hours.

Weโ€™d love to keep this open for longer, but weโ€™re print media and that means allowing time for printing.

Catch Debug #11 on 28 July!

Have been using GameMaker for the last 5 years.

Last year I started playing with Godot and have made some promising prototypes.

My next production title will be with GameMaker again, but I hope to release a Godot title in the near future!

Made a first iteration mana + mana regen system. Now units cost per summon as well.

I only had 30 minutes to work on this today, so it ainโ€™t much, but itโ€™s an honest feature ๐Ÿ˜…
