Current design for enemies in my beat 'em up #beatemup #gamedesign #IndieGameDevs

Micro mechanics like mash button to wake up and wiggle stick to break grab add a sense of mechanical variety in a beat 'em up—they elevate gameplay kind of like salt and pepper elevate a dish #beatemup #gamedesign #indiegamedev #pixelart

I wrote a quick & dirty article about LLMs, in an effort to solidify my own basic understanding. https://t.co/d3U7D15KmF I plan to write a follow up about how static embeddings are determined & how transformers convert them to context-sensitive embeddings. #NLP #ai #philosophy

Is this goon punchable enough? #pixelart #beatemup #IndieGameDev

Evolution of a character #pixelart #indiedev #beatemup

Punisher and both D&D games use a turnaround animation when the player changes direction, whereas other Capcom beat 'em ups allow instant direction change. (Denjin Makai also uses a turnaround.) #beatemup #gamefeel #animation #IndieGameDev

Found out why my combos don’t feel as good as I’d like. I’ve only been letting combos out of the recovery phase of attacks (that is, after all the active frames). The best beat ‘em ups (like Final Fight) allow combos even earlier, during the active frames. #gamedev #beatemup

Arcade-style leaderboard #IndieGameDev #gamedev #beatemup #pixelart

Creating an online leaderboard for my Capcom-impsired beat 'em up. Flirting w/ idea of only displaying top 10 scores. #indiegamedev #gamedev #beatemup

Denjin Makai has a universal hit stop duration of 6 frames and a universal hit stun duration of 14 frames, with no variation based on attack or character. #beatemup #gamedesign #IndieGameDev #pixelart

What about a game made up of "beat 'em up riddles"? #gamedev #IndieGameDev #beatemup

Denjin Makai uses two animation frames for its backward hit stun. Here's a slide with some notes on it. I am studying the nuts and bolts of beat 'em ups and hope to post more minutiae like this in the future. #animation #beatemup #IndieGameDev #pixelart
