Turns out the crash in that last video wasn't really a crash, it was just running checks on 28,000+ tiles all at once, when at most 200 tiles even exist. Thank God(ot) for the profiler, it made troubleshooting this one a breeze

Enemies will now path to the nearest building when none are in range!

The game is teetering on the edge of having "gameplay", tbh it's a bit scary to think about

@RhythmOrbits I'm thinking of running the pathfinding (to the nearest building) a second time, but with 2x/3x/etc range, and dropping any tiles outside the max move range for that turn.

That way it's technically thinking ahead and moving to the nearest building, even if it can't shoot one

[GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @GetB4ss]

Finally got enemy turns working!

(mostly at least. Next up, I'll need to give them something to do when there's no target in their threatened area)

More bugfixing done! Now I just need to figure out why the enemy disappears Sometimes-But-Not-Every-Time

#devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

[GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @GetB4ss]

I'm still hammering out issues with enemy AI, but I added threat ranges too! Pretty sure it's actually picking the best moves now as well

#devlog #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

[GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @GetB4ss]

Enemy AI (and animation!) is working!! Every move below is computer controlled and animating correctly!

#wishlistwednesday #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

[GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @GetB4ss]

I'm super close to having a working version of enemy AI! The movement animations are still a little broken, but all the actions below are fully automated!

Don't forget to wishlist on Steam <3

I got the first version of enemy turns working! In the clip, the 2-4 isolated dots show the 2 "best" combinations of moving + shooting. ie: the ones that hit the most building tiles, always hitting a player unit if one is in range.

I updated the capsule art to reflect the new name, plus posted a quick summary of recent progress to the steam page. Check it out below!

@Jakest_JakeYT Thank you! I'm probably not going to need music for a while (months?), but I'll check in when things are a little more functional in the game

[GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @GetB4ss]

The new explosion sprite is working in game!

#godot #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

[GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @GetB4ss]

Added tile dropping! Now AOE attacks will cause higher floors to fall onto the ground below.

@Jakest_JakeYT Thanks so much! I'm not entirely sure what I'm doing for music at the moment, but I'll keep your offer in mind!

I'm solo developing Metropolis Gear: Tactical City-Building Action, a city-building / tactics rpg with a roguelike structure.

Wishlist it here!

Oh, and here's another view!

The 3D models are never actually used in game, I just think it's neat to see it from other angles.

[GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @GetB4ss]

Working on a new sprite for explosions!

I crocheted this Kirby for a friend's birthday!

I think this is the first amigurumi I've done without a pre-written pattern? He's about 90% orb though, so pretty darn easy to freehand. #crochet #amigurumi

[GetBass - Wishlist Metropolis Gear on Steam! @GetB4ss]

I slapped some new shaders on the attack targeting highlight. I'll probably keep fiddling with the colours for the next eternity or two, but the overall effect is looking pretty good now!
