@LastExtraction_ Movement for tail(s) and legs are animated during run-time through a custom rigging system. Its just animations, so it doesnt interact with actual gameplay physics. Appended editor view of rigging one of the lizards.

Working on a new biome and lizard-like enemies for my upcoming ARPG! 🦎⚔️

@Jocker_zero I had telegraphs for their charges first, but I felt it became a bit too distracting. They come in packs and don't hit that hard. Enemies that charge with higher damage have telegraphs for it. But it's a good suggestion! Still very much WIP :). Thanks!

[Hannes Holm @holmcomputing]

@0xGEMLAB Same as any ARPG: if you have high fire resistance you can tank it :)

[Hannes Holm @holmcomputing]

@ollhax Thanks for tanking them for me during playtest! :)

My bomb bugs now blink and change size before exploding! 💣

Previously they exploded directly on impact, but now players have a chance to escape the blast.

@Youkoulailay I think the combination of glow and movement is effective. I try to keep backgrounds kinda plain though, since there are so much going on in most scenes.

[Hannes Holm @holmcomputing]

Added animated legs and emission to my exploding bugs to make them easier to detect.

@PogULive At the moment, that instantly explode when close. But it's a good idea, I will play around with effects pre explosion :)

Working on a new slime/blob boss! 🟢

This week I’ve been working on improving the UI. Among other things, I’ve added resizable and floating windows. Requested by several players during the last two playtests. 🪟

@ChiveArcade It clones whatever weapons the caster has equipped. If a player summons it and has a flamethrower equipped, then it also has a flamethrower. :)

[Hannes Holm @holmcomputing]

Today I ported one of the fan-favorite enemies from my previous game, Nienix, into Gnomageddon: The Cloner!

It does exactly what you’d expect: it clones the weapons used by its caster. 🔥

@CharlesGSm69831 Thanks! :)

[Hannes Holm @holmcomputing]

@ChiveArcade Yep! I could view changes in real-time, but had to do a full rebuild to actually test anything.

[Hannes Holm @holmcomputing]

Today I implemented a new feature for the Gnomageddon editor that makes playtesting maps way easier. Just select a spawn point and hit play! 🚀

I’ve been working on a bunch of new enemy behaviors. This is the WIP protector behavior 👾

If a friendly is low on health, it sprints over to heal them. Otherwise, it tries to keep its distance from the player.

@miketomiwa84 Sure! https://t.co/eerVCKLkXN

Making progress on the first boss dungeon for Act 2 of Gnomageddon: Forge of Infinity.

@miketomiwa84 I have involved the community ever since I started the steam page - the last community test ended two weeks ago. :)

[Hannes Holm @holmcomputing]

@miketomiwa84 The plan is Early Access with 3 acts, then 1.0 with 4 acts total. Post-launch content depends on player interest. But I am a big fan of end-game content, so expect much in that direction.
