Excited to start over fresh. To turn a new leaf!! And then I immediately returned to the shadows to work in solitude once again. It's been over a year since my last video, so here's an update on what I've been doing. Howdy! And welcome to the 2nd indie game devlog for Zoe and the Cursed Dreamer: Reborn. ZatCD is a 2D Pixel Art Sandbox RPG made with the Godot Engine where you'll explore an immersive open world, meet lovable characters, and build a base to stash your precious cheese.

Tips For Creating Enemies | Devlog Description: Players often request complex enemies with randomization and lots of behaviors thinking this will make for a more fun enemy, but I disagree! Enemies that are simple are better for the player to form strategies around and are more memorable. But that doesn't mean they have to be easy. I have some tips and tricks for how you can design enemies to be simple yet engaging for your players! This is the 3rd devlog for reQuest, a 2D pixel art mini-RPG Indie Game built in the Godot Engine where you'll explore a cozy open world which you solve like a puzzle, unlocking new areas and enemies.

This tweak made combat so fun that a tester spent over an hour repeatedly fighting a handful of enemies. At this point I knew I had an engaging combat system!

So I've developed some tools to automate this process using some procedural generation tricks like Cellular Automata. Howdy, and welcome to the 11th indie game devlog for Zoe and the Cursed Dreamer.

So I've created a fancy pants cutscene editor so that I can easily build events for the upcoming demo. It'll also be useful for fun little gags in these devlogs. I have already done this before with Zoe and the Cursed Dreamer. But this time I built it as a plugin inside of the Godot Engine! This is the 4th devlog for reQuest, a 2D pixel art mini-RPG Indie Game built in the Godot Engine where you'll explore a cozy open world which you solve like a puzzle, unlocking new areas to explore and cute enemies to destroy.

If an ability only does one thing then you've only created a key. To really improve the depth of your game, you need to expand on this and use what you have in creative ways. So I added arrows that blow stuff up! I added an equipment system that allows you to equip items to the player such as weapons and gear that alter how the character plays. You'll be able to destroy all in your path with a sword in one hand, a bow in the other, and a quiver full of boom arrows! This is the 2nd devlog for reQuest, a pixel art mini-RPG game using the Godot Engine where you'll explore a tiny open world which you solve like a puzzle, unlocking new areas and enemies.

Normally you would expect this to be a joyful moment, but I HATED it so much. It was under developed, unpolished, and just wasn't ready. It was so bad that I postponed the game for a year to work on other things. However, now I'm back to take up the project again, and this time the passion for it is even more intense! Howdy! And welcome to the 1st indie game devlog for Zoe and the Cursed Dreamer: Reborn. The Reborn part is just for this series, since the game is so dramatically different now.

A hero rescuing kittens from trees, the village blacksmith, a cheese monger, or the reason kittens keep getting stuck in trees. The possibilities are endless, and it's up to you to choose your own path.

Godot's built in editor is too restrictive and slow for my needs. So I decided to build my own in-game editor with chunk loading. The best part is that you'll be able to use this level editor too, to design your own dungeons! Howdy, and welcome to the 9th indie game devlog for my game Zoe and the Cursed Dreamer.

As usual I overscoped it way too much this time, possibly more so than I ever have before. But yet, I still managed to finish the game! I mean, if you ignore the missing run animation from the little monster that is...

It was AMAZING! | Devlog RPG Description: I made the most fun combat system I've ever designed, and immediately after I thought "What if I made them fight each other?". It was amazing! It was so satisfying to see enemies fighting each other, so I turned it into a game mechanic. Now you can tame pets, summon monsters, and have party members fight with you in combat.

Somewhere between a sandbox game and epic tale of Gods and Demons. One of the biggest features of my game is an in-depth crafting system where you can design a weapon down to specific details, like the materials used, the shape and look, and special features granted to the item. It's mechanics like these which build upon the immersive world that I am building. Howdy! And welcome to the 3rd indie game devlog for Zoe and the Cursed Dreamer: Reborn.

Follow the Kickstarter! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/gameendeavor/request-0 I am creating this game using the Godot Engine, which is a lightweight beginner friendly game engine that is powerful enough to handle everything I've ever thrown at it. This is a small indie game project that I expect to only spend a few months on. Zoe and the Cursed Dreamer is not cancelled, but is put on hold for the time being while I work on smaller projects. If this project is successful enough then we'll return to it afterwards. :) Join Our Community! We look forward to welcoming you.
