This is the basic idea for the melee system. There are no traditional combos, just a single kick/sword swing that you combine with other moves or weapons. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

you can still land normally though. I think it's gonna be really fun once I add the style system for a risk/reward type thing for whether you can get kills while in the prone state.

And it's not even max's character controller that was the stupidest part, for some reason I thought that making the enemies have physics reactions to each bullet was totally necessary and COOL despite being AWFUL a consistent arcade style action game.

12,000+ indie games were released on Steam in 2022. If you prove that your game is hot, the algo starts putting you in prime spots like the Discovery Queue and More Like This. So how many games get this treatment every year? 550ish and it isnt growing. Let me explain 🧵

I've been playing Klonoa for the first time and it's weird to me that this whole 2.5D style isn't more popular among indie devs. The game almost feels "next-gen" in that you can tell how excited the devs were about using 3D to innovate whereas now it's like we don't even try.

funny how my game is WAY over scoped but not even in a cool way. Like there isn't an open world, or nice cutscenes, or any character customization stuff but instead there's just all these specific movement and combat mechanics that need to be integrated with a style system
