01/05/25 Implementing the menu UI I have been able to add a functional menu. I used a tutorial from the official gdevelop youtube channel to achieve this (plus a little bit of tweaking on my part): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cScpPcV9v4M&t=245s&pp=ygUgaG93IHRvIGNyZWF0ZSBhIG1lbnUgaW4gZ2RldmVsb3A%3D so to start wi » Continue Reading

01/05/25 Hello! So after a lot of trial and error i finally have some kind of scoring system!! Its still pretty buggy but im a little proud of myself for being able to at least implement this. So to begin with, i had to first implement the scoring timer at the beginning of the level in order for it to start as soon as the player opens the scene. After this, my coding gets a little bugg » Continue Reading

27/04/25 Fixing a small bug Hello! Today i want to touch base on one of my older prototypes before continuing my current prototype, because there was a bug that really bothered me about it. Actually a lot of my playtesters found this feature too so it was about time i had fixed this. Basically what would happen is that in the beginning of the stage, the platform that t » Continue Reading

26/04/25 Adding projectiles and health functionality As stated in my previous development log, I said i would be working on the projectiles and scoring system in my game. I was able to implement the powers but i still could not figure out how to add the distance counter. Therefore, i will figure that one out later. For now, the way i implemented the projectiles. First, I put all the hazard objects... » Continue Reading

23/04/25 So after adding the main movement mechanics i wanted to do a quick playtesting session with the people in my workshop. the general consensus was that my movement mechanics needed to be tweaked as the acceleration and deceleration of the dragons. after tweaking this, i realized this could be a great opportunity to create differentiation of the dragons max speed to create more differences b... » Continue Reading

This is because of how unsatisfied and disappointed I was with my asteroids prototype.

The main chapters which inspired my design process this time around were chapters 6 and 10. Chapter 6 primari... » Continue Reading

10/04/2025 adding the points system and new abilities Hello! After the feedback I received from my playtesting, I added a scoring system to my game as it was something which was missing from the overall structure of my game. This is the code I used to do it: It can be observed that it is similar to the way i did my scoring in my platformer prototype however here I've made it that different aster » Continue Reading

05/04/25 First round of playtesters! Hello! After reading chapter 10 I've now realised that I've been tackling my playtesting results in the wrong way. Instead of making a single post about my results at the end of my prototyping, i should be spreading it out and fixing individual feedback for my game to better refine what i have. i have once again asked some of my friends to playtest and here are... » Continue Reading

4/04/25 a ton of progress! Hey! I've made a lot of progress since the last blog post so that's what I'll be talking about. First, I remember from my previous dev log that I was going to add the asteroids mechanics. I wanted to make it so when the scene started, different sizes of asteroids will randomly spawn in and will fling around in random directions. To achieve this I first created the sprite... » Continue Reading
