Throwing grenades improved!
Boom! We've perfected the grenade throw - now you can hit enemies from even farther away with adjustable trajectories. Test it out and see the difference for yourself!
Try the Fighty Driver DEMO!
Hey everyone! Inspired by GTA 5, we’ve revamped third-person aiming—now your weapon (with laser) follows exactly where the camera is pointing. Smoother, sharper, and more intuitive shooting!

Reblogging background art I'm working hard on!
Continuing work on the Waterfall Level background. More columnar basalt, but the waterfalls need more detail!
Irredeamable rating
Disclaimer: all of the below are my subjective opinion and it may not match yours
Hi there!
Day before yesterday i completed Irredeamable and i want to rate this game according to 5 criteria: plot, gameplay, control, graphics, audio. So make yourself comfortable, and i'll start.
Plot
Unfortunately i've missed a lot of the plot due to an issue i'll get to later. But based on what i've not missed, i can say the game has the deep plot and dialogue.
Rating: 10/10
Gameplay
Gameplay: fight enemies (including bosses). And everything seems to be fine: there are a lot of weapons and enemies.
But there are 2 issues:
Why must i fight enemies? After all i can just run past them
Bosses of too different difficulty levels:
Some are very hard. It isn't bad but still.
Some i can defeat by cunning: just climb higher and shoot them with stormbolt (machine gun)
Rating: 8/10
Control
Classic control type:
Move: arrows
Jump: Z
Attack: X
Weapon swap: C
Heal: V
Interact: Up
Or:
Move: WASD
Jump: Space
Attack: Left button
Weapon swap: Right button
Heal: Wheel
Interact: E
And also:
Open almanac/skip dialogue: Enter
Open sub-menu (in the almanac)/continue dialogue: Z
But there are also some issues:
Where does it say i can continue dialogue by pressing Z? And this is the main reason why i've missed a lot of the plot (because of it i just skipped most of dialogues)
Where does it say i can open sub-menu in the almanac by pressing Z? This is the 2nd reason of that i've written above
Due to the inconvenient button placement (weapon swap button is located between attack and heal) often i swap weapon by accident (this reeeeeally bothers me)
Rating: 7/10
Graphics
Nice high-pixel graphics
Rating: 10/10
Audio
Good sounds and well chosen background music
Note: audio are mostly not owner by the developer
Rating: 10/10
Total
Irredeamable is a nice game but there are issues with controls and gameplay (but the latter is on the player's conscience)
Final rating: 9/10
Developer: @blackblooms
Game:
Spoiler
My favorite boss is Robber King because he isn't too hard but not too easy either: You must shoot him with stormbolt but at the same time dodge his bullets. You can defeat him the first time (if you has a strategy). And his track is my favorite track from this game.
War & Economy
"War & Economy" is my first big project. It's the game about two city-states at the war with each other. Nobody knows the reason for this war. For their rulers, it's just very exciting game. And you act in the roles of these rulers. But nobody thinks about habitants of these city-states...
I was inspired to create this game by marble wars, in particular the MIKAN channel. I watched them and cheered on teams. I got upset if my team lost. I thought my team lost because i can't control it. I decided to create a game is similar to marble wars but it's played by players this game, not random chance...

Now the game is in closed alpha testing. To take a part, send me a private message.
I plan to start beta testing on Steam and/or Google Play this summer.

Beginning of development
Hi all! In this blog I'll tell how I develop games.
From what it began
From the beginning of this year 'til the end of July I was developing my game and by the end of July it was full-fledged and playable. But I became notice bugs I couldn't fix.
I wondered what the problem might be. I realized the problem was I wrote my game on Python, this language isn't intended for it.
Then I decided to learn a new programming language. It was originally supposed to be C#. But I couldn't run my code in the new language. I tried to do it for some days but eventually gave it up. Then I started searching the Internet for programming languages for games and came across on Lua. I learned it in just a month and started searching for an engine for it. In the Internet I knew about Defold. I'll rewrite my game exactly on it.
But I think I must introduce you to the original game first.
Initial game
Entering the game we see the main menu:
When we press the play button we see this:
I'll label the interface elements so you understand:
In construction menu players select building they want to build. Its description will appear on the right. Players can build it on the game field. Buildings affect on players stats. After enemies' turn ends player gets different points. Players can also attack each other:
Players can capture enemy buildings:
Gameplay can be very intense:
To win, player must capture or bankrupt enemy:
So I can to start development.
Interface creation
To Understand the size of game field, I drew it in Paint:
Its size - 436x220 pixels. I created the project, set it up and set size like a field in Paint but with padding around the edges:
I added a simple main menu and made the game opens when the button was pressed:
It's time to make the interface. I spent a lot of time on it. Since the system font only supports English, I added my own Noto Sans based font. It's what I made:
But whet I opened it full screen, I saw this:
Yes, I didn't add anchors on purpose, to interface elements don't blur to different directions.
My first post ends. If you have any ideas for improving the content, write them in the comments, I'll read them.
Goodbye!
Can you liberate me? Perhaps it will get better now…
SS: I was unsure whether post here or what but, damn, Twitter is a burning hell and I just want to make funny videogames with my friends.
This is Birthright, a "small" project that was supposed to just take a couple of months but OH WELL, in four month will be a year, hell. This videogame is, clearly, based on The Binding of Isaac and intended to be a roguelite hack and slash. But since it is made in unity, this whole project has been a real ordeal, like, for some reason shaders didn't work and I had to delete the whole URP STUFF AND RE DO LIKE EVERYTHING?!?!?!?
