Miguel 🦑 SternbergDidn't manage to have a #GoblinGirlGame screenshot Saturday ready this week. But just made a big improvement to my object spawning system. Can now easily do stuff like spawn a bunch of mushrooms in specific locations and have 2 of them randomly be monster mushrooms.
Just remembered I'd started pixeling a mocking up for a Cave Noire-like a few years back. Some of the ideas I had for this are ending up in #goblingirlgame now.
Also I guess I've been itching to create a micro dungeon game of some sort for over half a decade now?😬
Also in big, kinda related news, you can now play the NES version of Tower of Druaga if you have Switch online!
#GoblinGirlGame is more inspired by the newbie / home console friendly, PC-Engine remake of Druaga, while the NES version is closer to the original arcade game.
The initiative stat determines how quickly you swap between attack and defense.
This can have a big effect on how easily you can take out some enemies!

Smart goblins know when to come in swinging, and when to use their shield!

Mushrooms can kill! Learn the signs!
Proper fungi identification can save your life. 🍄☠️

Bonus version with some debug visualization turned on. I like that each monster type already feels pretty distinct just from how they move around the map.
Made a little zoo to test out enemy pathing for my #GoblinGirlGame!
The feeling when you wake up and completely destroy that pesky collision bug.

At some point I need to do a detailed breakdown of how I'm handling #GoblinGirlGame 's bump combat. The unique needs of Druaga style maze gameplay combined with the fact that in bump combat, attack hit-boxes and character hurt-boxes are a single shared box has been an interesting design challenge.
