I’m the winner🥇Super stoked! #BuildItWithPhaser challenge by @phaser_ Studio in #GamedevJS Jam 2024! I have tried several game engines, but Phaser is by far the best.

Did some user testing, and noticed that some tried to interact with the game during the enemy's turn. I added a red background, and made the "enemy activity" message larger to help indicate that it's not our turn yet. #SoloGameDev #AegisAwakening

Spine 2D is such a powerful tool. I'm working on a Spirit Orb effect right now, using mesh deformation to create a sticky, liquid feel. #spine2d #AegisAwakening

Closeup of the Temple animations: idle, hit, dead. #AegisAwakening #Spine2d

New Spirit Temples in #AegisAwakening I like how they crumble when destroyed #sologamedev #tacticsgame

Don't know how to play the game? Added an easy to understand tutorial for the first level. #AegisAwakening #SoloGameDev

It’s December! Looking for an advent game? 🎄 Play Puckit! in Winter Adventure Mode with featuring 24 limited time levels! Play one each day until Christmas, or tackle them all at once if you’re up for the challenge! Play it here https://t.co/kH4383DR6r #sologamedev

Tried to exaggerate and idle animation. I kind of like it, but maybe it's drawing too much attention? #gamedev #animation #AegisAwakening

Destroy monsters with the Phaser Laser in #AegisAwakening #gamedev

There are so many strange products in Japan. Here we have coffee with sweet potato 🍠 taste, and another with strawberry and chocolate 🍓 🍫 Could create a coffee maker simulator game

Nice. I promise I didn't steal the idea for the game jam I was doing in August

The above post is the process. I know 2 minutes is too long to wait to see the results. TL;DR: Here's the animation

I created this "hit" animation in 2 minutes. Can pixel artists do it faster? #spine2d #gamedev

Simpler and faster. Pixel art for me is tedious, time consuming, and won’t look good. That’s why I use vector art instead. Simpler and faster

This white outline is NOT a shader! It's a layer we can turn on and off. Shaders are great, don't get me wrong, but this technique is cheap. We can run the game in a canvas (without WebGL) which has better performance on iOS devices in my experience #phaser #spine2d #gamedev

Got tired of static programmer art. Now I have animated programmer art #gamedev

This is what happens when you add a new "hand" every update. Mesmerizing effect, and reminds me of winning solitaire on Windows. #gamedev #bug

Winter is coming to Aegis Awakening #gamedev #winter

Adding just a little bit of animation can help the game look a lot better (look at the trees🌲) Still lot's of polish left, and I should replace my beautiful programmer art with something else. #AegisAwakening #SoloGameDev

Play with 3 heroes at the same time. We can attack enemies and our own comrades, so be careful! #AegisAwakening #gamedev #phaser

You won't believe which framework I'm using for my website #webdev
