I make #gamedev resources, Daemon Detective & misc metroidvanias.
Check out for my music, tilesets, engines and the occasional game~

@Bigscaryartist1 Tala för dig själv, jag bor mitt ute i skogen :V

@PelinaHime I'll be looking forward to it! ^__^

[Yal @GameDevYal]

Yes, there's a boss fight against Dracula in the game. What about it? #indiedev #Touhou #HotlineSanzu

[Yal @GameDevYal]

Quality-of-life feature: you can now preview items by hovering the cursor over them, especially useful to see if you can afford them or not (so you aren't forced to get berated for being a cheapskate EVERY time). #gamedev #Touhou #HotlineSanzu

[Yal @GameDevYal]

One of the equippable bombs is Sakuya's stopwatch, which freezes time for all enemies and bullets for a couple seconds. Of course it inverts the screen, DIO-style. #indiedev #touhou #HotlineSanzu

How it started ~ How it's going

In other news, got billboards to work in my 3D engine! (Intended to be used for ads, roadsigns etc). I was... sort of angry when I finally squashed the last stupid bug. (Also say hello to my shoddy input form system, it's called FrameGUI or Frankie for short) #indiedev #gamemaker

[Yal @GameDevYal]

Surprise update to Hollow Hearts! Tsukasa now offers hints about Shards you're missing, to make 100%ing the game easier than ever before! #Touhou #indiedev #metroidvania

[Yal @GameDevYal]

Dammit, seems like I broke rendering somewhere in my giant refactoring escapade... #indiedev #gamedev #GameMakerStudio2

[Yal @GameDevYal]

Wait there's a new Elden Ring trailer and YOU DIDN'T TELL ME?!?!

[Yal @GameDevYal]

@DetSpooky ...

WHY DIDN'T I SEE THAT fsfsdfghsjkl

(The actual context is, importing an old GM project adds "compatibility scripts" that retains deprecated functionality mostly-OK using the closest matching new functions, but they're ugly and sometimes incredibly inefficient)

[Yal @GameDevYal]

IT IS GONE. Finally cleared out all the old compatibility functions. Future-proofed code ftw! #indiedev #gamedev #code

[Yal @GameDevYal]

Got 2D drawing to work at last! (Skeletal characters are a bit buggy because I use a default pose with all angles zero - also they've got massive Z-fighting so I'm gonna have to work on some surface buffer solution next) #indiedev #gamedev #gamemakerstudio2

[Dan Floyd (danfloydplus on bsky) @DanFloydPlus]

One minute they're taking down emulation sites, the next they're working to ensure that those sites are the only enticing option for experiencing their own back catalog. I feel like I'm getting very mixed signals here.

[Yal @GameDevYal]

Oh yeah heck I forgot about the art book project

I'll get it done before the end of the year I promise

[Yal @GameDevYal]

My plan for this project is to mix sprites (monsters), 2D skeletons (customizable/procgen humanoids), and 3D SMF models (vehicles/other big things), and make a system that lets you use all of them completely transparently. Wish me luck. #gamedev #indiedev #GameMakerStudio2

[Yal @GameDevYal]

Working on updating an old project to GMS2 standards... still a lot of old messes to clean up :V #gamedev #indiedev #GameMakerStudio2
