TETHERPUNK

Scavenge space junk with your grappling hook and bolt it to your spaceship. Use it to propel yourself to ill-advised speeds and take down technofeudalist bosses

@PortalFallGame thank you! :)

Spaceship parts now have limited ammo! Let's see how enemies react when they run out...

Ran a test to make sure rockets no longer get stuck in the main body during ejection.... Always good to push your systems to their limit!

I don't think the original post quite does it justice, how about a close-up?🔎

I spent the weekend working on new particle effects for my rockets and I just can't stop looking at them :)

BIG ANNOUNCEMENT! After 2+ years of development and a long, arduous, white-knuckled, tournament-style, no holds barred decision making process — Project Rope Tool has officially been renamed to TETHERPUNK! Likes and reposts greatly appreciated to help spread the word :)

Another modular design showcase for you all! You can now add the ship attachment functionality to any physics object in the game.

As I mentioned last time, I’ve been doing a study on modular system design recently and wanted to show off a quick example of the type of versatility that I’m building towards… so here: grappling hook on a mining droid!

Yeah… it’s been a while since my last log. The reason is because I’ve been in a giant rabbit hole. One of my biggest concerns about the project has been scalability. As it stands, it's not very easy to create and test new objects and levels quickly.

Rope Tool Devlog #10

Both halves of my level editor design are now working together! You start by drawing an area as your “canvas” and then you cut into it with the nodeshapes!

[TETHERPUNK @tetherpunkgame]

Goodbye, wind tunnel that cut through the entire level, I will see you in another life... #screenshotsaturday

Concept sketch for what I want the game’s environment art to look/feel like! Still playing with saturation and value but I’m happy with what I have so far

[Xander @absolutefart]

Project Rope Tool Devlog #8

Took the game to the BrookLAN playtest for the second month in a row! I was finallyyy able to show off the new lower resolution graphics that I have been working on since the start of this year. Wooo!!!!

Oh boy these are getting more and more sporadic aren’t they? The latter half of last week I did a few lighting/environment tests and followed it up with a bit of much needed code reorganization. Nothing new to show just yet!
