macabrettI'm trying to make Cosmic Jam accessible in a few ways. One of those ways is allowing players to adjust colors for important objects in the environment that may be hard to spot when going full speed.You'll be able to set these colors through RGB values with no real restrictions. That's right, I'm letting you ruin the nice little palette I've put together, because I understand not all eyes work like mine.<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameDev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ScreenShotSaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScreenShotSaturday</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IndieGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieGames</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MonoGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MonoGame</a>

macabrettOne of the things I want in Cosmic Jam is fun/varied transitions when respawning. This isn't final by any means, but this is the proof of concept I started with. You can even speed up transitions with an accessibility option!<a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/ScreenShotSaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ScreenShotSaturday</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/IndieGames" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndieGames</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/MonoGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MonoGame</a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/GameDev" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#GameDev</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookI've spent several days deeply contemplating my choice of game engine in order to move forward with my <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a> journey. In this video I dive deep into everything I considered and explain my final decision of which engine I feel will be right for me. <a href="https://youtu.be/wnWT_6qszsg" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://youtu.be/wnWT_6qszsg</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gameengine" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gameengine</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/unity" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#unity</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/godot" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#godot</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookI have realised that to create games with <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/MonoGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MonoGame</a> you really do have to "roll your own engine", or at least, use somebody else's. Do I want to be an engine developer? No, I don't, so what are my options? In this video I explain the crossroads that I feel I am at, and go through the options I'm currently considering to continue moving forwards with my <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a> journey. <a href="https://youtu.be/UoNyTX-ZQKQ" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://youtu.be/UoNyTX-ZQKQ</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/learntocode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#learntocode</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookOrbarella, my second game, is now finished (or at least finished enough to version it at 1.0) In this <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a> I show the last additions, discuss what was good and not so good about the project and how I'm planning to approach the next one differently. <a href="https://youtu.be/P205zbQ_jqY" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://youtu.be/P205zbQ_jqY</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/solodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#solodev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/girlswhocode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#girlswhocode</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/buildinpublic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#buildinpublic</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookI'm trying to do something that feels like it should be almost trivial in <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a> - just fade in a texture. I've tried manipulating the alpha channel on the colour in numerous ways, changing the blend state on the spritebatch and all I keep getting is weird whitewashing effects. Any ideas?

Caroline MiddlebrookLots more refactoring work in this <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a>. I've separated out a Nightmare System, created a HUD class for the UI, reworked the JSON data so that I could create 3 distinct levels to the game, and finally allowed the player to win the game. <a href="https://youtu.be/AEYyfzUlEb8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://youtu.be/AEYyfzUlEb8</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/indiedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#indiedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/solodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#solodev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/buildinpublic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#buildinpublic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/girlswhocode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#girlswhocode</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookI've updated the executeable today. I've fixed a lot of bugs, added more sound effects, changed the UI and there are now 3 playable levels in the game. The end is in sight!

Caroline MiddlebrookAnother <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a> for my Calimoe <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/MonoGame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#MonoGame</a> library project. There's been a lot of refactoring work going on to get my basic sprites and other objects working consistently. I've also added the ability to draw 2D primitives, some basic text effects and a game clock class. <a href="https://youtu.be/LaPlfHwduK0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://youtu.be/LaPlfHwduK0</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/learntocode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#learntocode</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/buildinpublic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#buildinpublic</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookI've only been learning <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a> for a few weeks and I'm looking to connect with others on a similar path. If you're an <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/indiedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#indiedev</a> — especially a <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/solodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#solodev</a> — say hi! Bonus if you use <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a>, post regular <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a> updates, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/buildinpublic" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#buildinpublic</a>, or a part of <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/WomenInTech" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#WomenInTech</a> community 💜

Caroline MiddlebrookStill a few bugs to fix and some polish to add but I've got a just about a complete little game at this point. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/solodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#solodev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/ScreenshotSaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ScreenshotSaturday</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/opensource" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#opensource</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookIn this <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a> I finally fixed that collision bug that I knew was lurking in there! I've added a game clock and added a simple night to day cycle and some sound effects which is making the game feel more alive. <a href="https://youtu.be/j4MDoskgjSc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://youtu.be/j4MDoskgjSc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a> indiedev <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookThe work in this update was a lot less to do with coding and a lot more to do with fiddling with the artwork and the level design to get the game to look right. As much as I'd love to just focus on code, all this stuff is essential when creating games I guess! <a href="https://youtu.be/7a5iaS1HYQc" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://youtu.be/7a5iaS1HYQc</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/solodev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#solodev</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/learntocode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#learntocode</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookI've got a few new <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlogs" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlogs</a> to post which I should have time for over the coming week, but in the meantime here's what my game is looking like atm. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/beginnergamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#beginnergamedev</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/screenshotsaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#screenshotsaturday</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookIn this <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a> I show the progress I've made in the game, getting the nasty math bit out of the way and also working with JSON data to allow me to create the buildings more dynamically. <a href="https://youtu.be/E8hcF1G7gRA" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://youtu.be/E8hcF1G7gRA</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a>, <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/learntocode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#learntocode</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookI've started on my second practice project created in <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a>. This is the first <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a> video where I run through the basic concept and early artwork. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/learntocode" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#learntocode</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/beginnergamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#beginnergamedev</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/ZBUBrVxPF_0" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://youtu.be/ZBUBrVxPF_0</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookAnother <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a> for my first <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a> project. My first attempt at creating a pong game soon turned into a broken mess. I spent ages trying to fix it, and in the end I decided to just start over from scratch! <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64HdFPZepC8" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64HdFPZepC8</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookTaking a break from my pong game. Spent a bit of time fiddling with some artwork for a new <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a> project. <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/beginnergamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#beginnergamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/pixelart" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#pixelart</a>

Caroline MiddlebrookThis <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/devlog" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#devlog</a> was difficult to make! Everything I have tried to add to the game has just introduced bugs and now all I have is a broken mess of an unfinished game! <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedev</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/monogame" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#monogame</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/gamedevfails" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#gamedevfails</a> <a href="https://mastodon.gamedev.place/tags/beginnergamedev" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#beginnergamedev</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELb_kYx1bss" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELb_kYx1bss</a>
