Tried baking some lighting - definitely makes the scene look more dynamic and interesting I think

The outside of my museum...just playing around with potential art style, but I quite like it.

Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

Halloween at our place. First time giving out treats so pretty basic this year! #halloween #halloween2024

#indiedev update: Getting more building blocks together. Inventory items show as they are added, and you can combine items together. You can get close ups of certain things and basic logic is working...feels like real progress! #pointandclick

[Bonc2Games @Bonc2Games]

Items that need to be unlocked will allow you to examine them first. Once they are unlocked you can use whatever action. EG a locked door will prompt that you need a key. Once you have the key you will be able to open the door

[Bonc2Games @Bonc2Games]

I think I have settled on how players interact with objects in my #pointandclick adventure game.
Most items will have a single 'action' EG pick up, look at, open etc, but you can also right-click to examine the item (In this clip Im right-clicking x3 to get different responses)

[Bonc2Games @Bonc2Games]

hey #pointandclick devs and fans - what do you think of this interaction style? Most things you can just pick up and add to your inventory, but some I want to 'force' you to get an explanation of the item first before you can pick it up. Workable or annoying? #indiedev

@Kanaratron Thanks - I have been aiming at 256x256 for my characters, but good to know a 64x64 might work if I am just using a palette, and that you can get good enough logo/decal definition with a 256 or 512. Much appreciated!

[Bonc2Games @Bonc2Games]

@Kanaratron Love seeing how you go about building your world. Its very useful for us indiedevs! What size are the textures you use? Do you have one per character?

@gugames_eu Very early days in my (solo, hobby) dev journey on my first point and click game. Just playing around with the mechanics and ideas etc but enjoying it so far. Definitely got the pointing and clicking working 🙂

oh to be there. we should bully tech nerds much more often. they should get cop treatment at this point

[Bonc2Games @Bonc2Games]

This really struck a chord, great summary of a feeling I am feeling that I didn't realise I was feeling. Thanks @davidfarrier and Josh Drummond

@David_Cormack My son wrote this a couple of years ago, maybe not sad, but definitely angsty #sadboyplaylist https://t.co/wPTnEJUujo

@CharlesBoury This is inspiring. I am aiming at a 'no UV' (or low UV as the case may be). I am playing around with this kind of style, but the pop/brilliance/beauty of your game is real motivation to keep working on it

15 year anniversary this week so we managed to get a night without kids and get out of the house!

@GreyAlien Working on my first point and click adventure. Mostly in the 'get all the mechanics sorted out' phase, but also playing around with some assets...very much a shotgun approach, but thats the way I hobby dev 😆
