🎄 12 days of #DEVMAS - Looking forward🎄

A full trailer and Steam page coming in January!
A full physics refresh, a module system, new enemies, new weapons, a home base and a demo release all coming in 2025.

Yes, definitely agree. Plus I think other artists do get similar advice. You don't spend 10 years on your very first painting and you certainly don't expect your first one to be a masterpiece. You start off simpler and improve the more you do it.

🎄12 days of #DEVMAS - 2024 Recap🎄
Our biggest milestone was after a few years of making various prototypes we have decided to double down on this game and see it all the way through to release!
#gamedev #indiedev

We decided to join the #starterpack trend and create our very own for Kiwi Gamedevs! 🎮🥝🇳🇿
Please check out and support all of these amazing fellow New Zealand developers and their projects!

🎄 12 Days of #DEVMAS - Trust the Process🎄

This lil guy has been through quite the evolution!
He's our most common basic enemy and started out as a very waggly mite. In the end we went for consistency and now all ground enemies will have wheels of some sort.

🎄 12 days of #DEVMAS - What if? 🎄

In our game you upgrade your fortress by putting weapon tokens into the centre furnace and as it grows you get more and more turrets.

Originally we were going to have 5 turrets each with their own furnace that you upgraded individually.

An infographic explaining that the "12 Days of #Devmas" is a challenge with "Daily prompts to show off your game & dev progress over 2024". There is a list of 12 prompts to make posts about that include a set date in December to post them. The list is as follows: Dec 13: In A Nutshell (Show the essence of the game), Dec 14: Best Placeholder (Texture, Character, etc.), Dec 15: Favourite View (Environment or visual effect), Dec 16: What If? (Feature that didn't make the cut), Dec 17: Trust The Process (Concept art vs. final result), Dec 18: Most Deranged Chat (Internal convo or code comment), Dec 19: Endless Loop (Animation or gameplay loop), Dec 20: Happy Accidents (Strange / beautiful bugs), Dec 21: Elf On The Shelf (Hide an elf in your game), Dec 22: 2024 Recap (Biggest milestone of 2024), Dec 23: Looking Forward (2025 plans or resolutions), Dec 24: Dev Team Snap (Photo or drawing).

Actually NVM I got this 😎

Interesting take... I don't think I've ever heard advice to make crap games. I have heard that your first game is unlikely to be a massive success so don't pin all your hopes on it and see it as a learning experience for the next one though.

New enemy incoming... You don't want to get in the way of this one 😬

A selection of the weapons you will get to play with soon #gamedev

One of our smallest enemies, this lil guy is speedy but not very good at turning, so he gets in place before a big charge!

Spinners in the night #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev

Excited to launch rocket weapons to our play testers
