@BANGYANGYAO Steam's AI disclosure is only required for AI assets and player facing content. AI code is generally exempt from the disclosure.

I understand player's may not understand this nuance (or care about it) but Big Walk was disclosing to the level required by Steam.

Every time I've tried to be creative in game dev, I've learned that creativity is expensive. A conventional take gets the whole genre's playtesting for free.

The new rocks fall on enemies too. #gamedev #indiedev

What should happen when you kill an enemy that drops an item you already have? XP is the boring answer but it might be the right one...

[Rob - Binary Sunrise @BinarySunrise_]

The yellow one eats your XP. Newest enemy, placeholder art, already hate him. #gamedev #indiedev

Switched to building all the enemies' mechanics first and doing the art for all of them at the end. Slower to see anything finished, but the roster comes out consistent.

[Rob - Binary Sunrise @BinarySunrise_]

Wasn't paying attention. #gamedev #indiedev

[Rob - Binary Sunrise @BinarySunrise_]

Built five enemies and I think four of them test the same thing: stay away. Not sure the enemy roster has much depth yet

[Rob - Binary Sunrise @BinarySunrise_]

@NumWorlds Yeah! So it tries to shoot 3 projectiles in a triangle around rather than directly at the player to cut off the player's options.

If you close the distance on the enemy it also attempts to place a projectile between you and itself to protect itself

[Rob - Binary Sunrise @BinarySunrise_]

Enemy number five is in with placeholder art. Purple guy launching projectiles. Starting to get some variety #gamedev #indiedev

Hard to know when a game is done. There's always more you could add, for better or worse.

@Taikwy I personally really like Soundly. Easy to work with and high quality. They do have a free tier as well

New enemy. The coil charges every time you shoot it, shocking whatever is nearby once charged #gamedev #indiedev

I've posted twice since last summer and built the entire game in between. Going to start showing some of it.

After way too long heads down, my game finally has a playable demo!

Neon blitz is my shot at a faster, more aggressive take on the survivor-like.

A little nervous putting it out there honestly...

Would love your feedback! #indiedev #gamedev
