Yes there will be multi-layering

As for progress updates: the hotswap module rewrite is going well and I'll be pushing it to the github repo in the next day or two hopefully, I just implemented handling for the case where an object file fails to build, it will wait for the next change rather than spamming rebuild lol

I'm planning on 2D graphics that sort of fake 3D with a fixed perspective, but I'll go full 3D if I find it necessary. I would love to see calc spinoffs made, but won't be doing any myself.

Currently writing usage code for the hotswapping module. I realized that my current functions won't work well in practice because I'll need to support compiling many different files, should have written the usage code first!

Yeah! I'll be working more on mocking up artwork once the game has more of a platform layer in place, just threw that hexagon together in blender quick (well, not really quick because first time I've used blender haha) to confirm that the math I did on paper was right and to experiment with viewing angles

Will do!

piworld now has a github repository, and I've commited a module for hotswapping
https://github.com/miotatsu/piworld/blob/master/source/platform/hotswap.d

bf is a fun language to warp your brain, the one thing I didn't like about it was the cell size, I never wanted to implement routines to work on multibyte ints

awesome project, super hexagon is one of my favourite games

There is now a progress log in the first post, strikethrough = finished, green = in progress, red = not started

Right now I am envisoning a more modern art style, but that is still up in the air since it is in such early stages. I'll keep the idea of a retro look in mind now

haha, nice! The original piworld is the game that really started it all for me. I don't have much left my self, though I do have a couple pages of code printouts, it is fun to look back on and see all the mico-optimizations that were necessary

I suffer from depression, and struggle with trusting people because of past events.

Same here, hang in there! Have you tried therapy and antidepressants? It's a long battle, but they've helped me come a long way

just a simple 2 player fighter inspired by SSB. The idea was damage is based on friction and taking a hit decreases your friction, rather than it increasing how far you get knocked back like in Smash. This game mechanic didn't work out in practice and players end up just feeling like velocity is random, but it was worth a try. I'm pretty happy with my entry because I managed to implement all the major features I was hoping to. The controls are simple as possible because I was worried about keyboards that don't let you press many buttons at once. There are multiple moves you can do and if you discover them it really speeds up the game (although there are still way too many lives and health), I purposely didn't document the different moves so players would have to discover them (if you want to see what they are though, you can read the comments people left on the page).

Here is a timelapse of the development:

Linux, Windows, and OSX at least, and it will be open source

I use an Acer C710 upgraded with a better battery and more RAM.

Hmmm... Vimperator hates js stuff.

press the insert key on your keyboard and it passes everything through like a normal browser. insert again to go back into normal mode
