TileMapEd v3.01:
Added a "New Map" dialog box to TileMapEd (previously removed until I could update it for recent additions to the tilemap header format). #GameDev #Acronia #IndieDev @HadroSoft
Lasers -- wheee!!!!

Since the August Patreon demo is done, I've got a few days to kill, so I'm working on improving the UX in "TileMapEd", #Acronia's map editor, so whoever else on the @HadroSoft team who wants to build levels for Acronia in the coming months, can do so
I actually... really... kinda enjoy making GUIs and applications. It's a different set of skills from making a game, but there's also some overlap there too.
New weapon time! #Acronia #GameDev #DOSgaming #PixelArt #ScreenshotSaturday

What started as a music plan is now me planning out every level in the game. :3

This weekend I'm going to be writing up creative briefs for the rest of the music in #Acronia, as well as getting started on implementing joystick support. #GameDev #DOSgaming
I finally added muzzle flashes in #Acronia for hitscan weapons! The visual feedback feels *nice*

#Acronia devlog for tonight
- Fixed bug/oversight where Jumpers don't do any damage at all on Easy difficulty
- Restored Bruiser's ability to pick you up and throw you into walls, as well as pick up Jumpers and throw them at you (was previously removed because of a bug, and never restored until now)

It's here! A brand-new playable demo of #Acronia is available for download NOW at https://hadrosoft.itch.io/acronia
This five-level demo features PC speaker and digitized sound effects, as well as a rockin' Adlib soundtrack by @Tijn! We're all really proud of it!
(Now the hard -- but fun -- work of finishing the missing features and racing toward the final release begins!)
Go play it now and let us know what you think!

A preview of something from the manual I put together for the demo version of #Acronia (which releases tomorrow!)
I'm really proud of that monster description. It's like something out of the Doom manual.

Whew! Productive day for dev on #Acronia! Fixed some nasty bugs and worked on polishing up some levels. Should have the free demo ready for #Patreon patrons next weekend, and then onto #Steam a week later!
I feel like I've finally gotten over a slump I was in with this project, and now things are very quickly going to accelerate. If I knuckle down, I might have the full version ready to go on sale by Christmas 😲

I've been spending my weeknights working on a side project, while I hit it hard on #Acronia over the weekend. I feel that's the best use of my time lately, with how busy and distracted I am during the week.
Anyways, this side project of mine... thanks to everything I've learned from @theLobdegg over the past year-plus, I feel like it's the best, cleanest code I've ever written in my life. I'm pretty proud of it.
