This week, besides a few small fixes, I added another enemy: the Bell Bug!

It barely does any damage, but don't let that fool you - this little guy can still finish you off. And not just the good guys, but slimes and... doors too... So turns out slimes really hate being around it, which honestly makes sense.

Sadly, I didn't have enough time to finish everything I had planned for it. The biggest thing still missing is its special ability: when the castle bell rings, the Bell Bug will stun nearby enemies (and itself!) for a few seconds.

@ConnorEllison It's prevents to open doors to go inside the castle. So, you can't move royal from throne elsewhere

Looks like today is going to be all about working with goo on doors... and I have to admit, fluid simulation isn't exactly the easiest thing for me to wrap my head around... :/

@haru_gamedev That's the plan. The idea is that some enemies don't get along with each other, so there should be some space between waves

Some drama happened here... There were hearts... Then someone got eaten 💀

@torretagame At least for now, it's more of something to do when you don't have enough money to build new towers

I think this is the last room from my tower defense project I haven't shared yet - the storage room! ;)

Yeah... but that's pretty unlikely for him. His body limits a lot of romantic feelings (which, if I remember correctly, was hinted at a few times in the story). And he's socially awkward enough that he'd probably struggle to show those feelings even if he had them... maybe if their marriage is something like living only on same roof that could work... but otherwise for me hard to imagine that...

Gave @AiClairvoyance another try after a few months. It's come a long way honestly, but I still can't get comfortable using it for coding.

I kinda wish there was something between Clairvoyance and Agent Teams AI. More focus on tasks, picking the right agent for each job, and less jumping around between projects.

Proper JetBrains integration would help a lot too. I'd rather manage AI tasks alongside my actual coding workflow than keep switching between separate apps.

Maybe Clairvoyance can already do some of this and I just haven't figured it out. But I guess that says something about the UX too

The Bell Bug attacks slowly but can be deadly

@brockpierson Maybe not so popular but mIRC is still around... not like others ;)

[Raimondas Rimkevičius (aka MekDrop) @MekDrop]

@davepl1968 True, but I still wish this part could be improved somehow, especially when you need to find different variations of the same key for similar tasks. In current is easy to get lost when you are starting there

[Raimondas Rimkevičius (aka MekDrop) @MekDrop]

@progerallworld I haven't quite figured that part out yet. For now, I'm working on some throne room mechanics that could bring in extra money

[Raimondas Rimkevičius (aka MekDrop) @MekDrop]

@figmenthol Very cool traveling effect!

[Raimondas Rimkevičius (aka MekDrop) @MekDrop]

It's more about giving you something to do when you've spent all your resources upgrading towers and don't have enough money left to build anything else.

I'm also thinking of making certain rooms, like terraces, let NPCs help defend the tower. When they enter those rooms, they could start attacking enemies, basically acting like mobile defense towers.

That's the idea anyway... still haven't fully implemented it...

GOG Galaxy is getting a major overhaul, joining Steam, Epic Games, and Xbox in the race to build faster PC launchers.

The redesigned client promises better performance, improved library management, and a simpler interface.

- Faster loading and smoother navigation.
- Customizable library views and improved filters.
- Dedicated sections for recently played and added games.
- Official Linux support planned for 2027.
- Windows and Mac versions also in development.

GOG Galaxy will remain optional, so players can still download and install DRM-free games without the launcher.
