Started working on a little room transition animation. Also made some new graphics for the HUD

New health bar in progress

Adding environmental weapons, like these pipes you can tear off the wall.

Was meant to have added more weapons at this point, but got carried away doing metal pipe tricks instead. Also still working towards a demo.

Put together an endless mode recently and turns out it's pretty fun. Current record is wave 26! I don't think any higher is humanly possible...

Sketching out some shopkeeper designs. Will still have to see how well they translate to clay models before I decide whether they're final or not.

Each one gives you a different bonus option in the shop!

Been super busy lately, but started working on some textures for the intro level

Still need to work on props and the lighting, but it's getting there

I've been working on adding the shop. Still need to design its shopkeeper, but I'm happy with the vibe it has currently

Haven't worked on anything recently that's in a state I can show off yet, but here are some of my favourite sprites so far from the larger enemies.

Going big-game hunting

I've been experimenting with doing scratchy looking vfx for things like status effects and big impacts

Small update: added rain sounds, new graphics for rain + rain splashes + grass, and made grass sway in the wind. Video featuring a lone scavenger getting soaked.

I was fortunate enough to have some fanart I did of the game Cogmind featured in its annual review: https://www.gridsagegames.com/blog/2024/12/year-11-of-the-cogmind/

It's a great game and I'd recommend it to anyone who's a fan of tough traditional roguelikes

Rifle animation in progress

Killing machine

Working on some gloomy city environments

Forming a grappling hook.

Previously the player's abilities were displayed in the HUD, but I figured it'd be more fun if the player actually creates and holds them in their hands.
