@dabmaster67 aha it's been going well. I'm just very slow at development sorry. I'll try to post a dev log at some point.

dealing with cursed logic

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

will try to post more gamedev on here soon

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

uhhh you can now reroute switches to lock doors for some reason

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

@shawnporterz1 thanks for the heads up! should be fixed now

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

https://t.co/QISTQe82oQ is back up since i forgot to renew a payment, though idk what use it has other than a general way to make the game look more legit on google

but i also don't know what other content to put on such a site? any ideas/examples?

Pistol training, the program will simulate the bullets so you don't need to waste precious ammo learning how guns feel.

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

@dabmaster67 mayhaps!

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

Adding a "clock" mechanic. Whenever you do something significant, time will pass. Purely turn based and abstracted (It doesn't literally take you 10 minutes to pick up an item but it's a simulacrum of you exploring and rummaging through stuff)

Watched a video on RELICs, a game I've not heard of until someone mentioned it as being similar to Machine. Very eerie visuals for something that came out before Metroid.

@Caneda617 haha yeah i don't want to create a situation where people have to replay a perfect sequence of events just for annoying filler completion sake. i'm above that... i hope!

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

Still figuring it out but I find it adds another dimension. It's not going to 100% dictate the game or anything but it will hopefully permutate into interest dilemmas!

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

eventually it comes down to predicting what the player actually wants to do bolted on a mostly size fits all solution. but yeah gamedev things

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

so aiming in top down 2d games is a pain. For awhile I've just been doing: fire a line from players feet to the destination. Then draw the actual laser/shot with an offset as if it was coming from the pistol. This makes sense... right?

[the machine that BREATHES (Wishlist Now!) @ShweepGames]

Some issues with this still, it's possible for both lines to hit a single tile object in a way it feels too precise. tiles are 16x16 and the pistol is abouuuut 14 pixels from the player's feet. easy to fix though
