#PitchYaGame #DashBlitz is a platform-fighter that reinvents the genre with lightning-fast action and intuitive controls. Whether you're attacking or moving, you always maintain perfect control. No worries about endlag. Also it's super cheap and you can be a car. Beep beep.

Figuring out Godot and experimenting with heftier momentum and continuous dashes, to the point that you can bounce across the stage by just holding down dash. It'd be cool to return to Dash Blitz and file it down to its best elements, baby steps though.

Maggie Magnet is almost ready for her debut! We're just looking into how she handles a browser build. A few kinks to iron out but it's promising! #itch #gamedev #indiedev

Finally got around to indicating speed of moving objects in the level editor. Whatever it takes to help you make a god damn mess of a level. #gamedev

I'm digging these more vibrant colours for magnetic fields. It's funny how the little things can feel the most satisfying. #gamedev #indiegame

A friend of mine is going to be streaming Dash Blitz and as excited as I should be all I can think is how terrified I am of the AI misbehaving. Absolute monkey's paw moment. #gamedev #TwitchStreamers

stop looking at me like that I'm just trying to debug #gamedev #indiedev

Haven't been very active on here lately but I'm still #gamedev'ing! Here's an absolute travesty of a level I made on stream at @level0sayswhat. I'm really enjoying coming up with tools to help people make awful, awful levels.

Retweeting with my professional account - #gamedev stream an hour from now, come check it out! twitch.tv/level0sayswhat #indiegame #indiedev #twitch

Retweeting this on my dev account - I'm planning on getting back into streaming and thought it'd be a good way to showcase Maggie Magnet! (please ignore the spaghetti code) #gamedev #indiegames #indiedev #platformer #TwitchStreamers

Not a lot to report on lately - I've been busy working on my presentation. Tidying up some assets and ironing out some bugs. Goal is to get a playable demo soon! I've been saying it for a while but it's really close now. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #platformer

Finally happy enough with our antagonist Billy Block to start working on him in-engine! No visual flair at the moment but you get the idea. #indiegame #indiedev #platformer #gamedev

Thwomps, but they don't want to be there either. #platformer #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Really simple touch but moving blocks now indicate where they're going to move in the level editor. Uhh... Kinda, anyway. Maybe next time. #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev #solodev

Playing around with the level editor - I'm beginning to get a sense of the sorts of cruelty players can inflict on my girl. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #platformer

Stage export is working well! Much smoother than I expected. This impromptu title screen was made in-engine as a test drive. ...I don't think she likes it though. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #platformer

Back at it again with Maggie Magnet - moving blocks are now working in the level editor! This is pretty much everything right now. Next step is tidying up the interface and actually exporting levels! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #platformer

More spontaneous #gamedev tonight - got sliding mechanics done and some rough wall-scaling. Basically I've been itching to make a game about climbing a mountain for a while and now I've got the ideas cemented in my head, I feel like it's time to prototype. #indiegame #indiedev
