LSDJAM 2025 Devlog 5 - The Wolf Says: Level Themes

A common obstacle I run into during longer game jams is that I tend to work first on features that are fun or interesting for me to implement, but put off things that would be interesting to players or are necessary for the game to function.

This video shows a key example of this: level themes. I added a system that can change between different packs of background and level tiles to add more visual variety, similar to in Spaghetti Dreamscape. While I like how this feature turned out, there’s still barely any gameplay to apply it to lmao. I’m beginning to realize why the concept of a minimal viable product exists in software engineering.

Also, Unity’s tile system is bizarre. You would think that switching tile sets would be as easy as changing an array index or swapping out a sprite sheet something, but no. You have to swap each individual tile in the data structure. For this game, it’s not too bad, since each theme only has one tile right now, but still.

I’m also a bit behind schedule due to losing power over the weekend and my current fixation on making a horse racing board game. Still, I hope to be able to release something at least mildly interesting before the deadline next Monday.

I THINK ALL THE TECHNICAL STUFF. ALL THE SYSTEMS AND CUTSCENES AND CAKE CARRYING CODE AND SHIT. FOR THE DEMO. IS DONE. WAR IS OVER

Keeping doing shit

I can’t decide whether to make droped items be picked up by pressing a key or just when the character passes by and bump into the collider

Hello, everyone! In this video, I will demonstrate how we can cut any 3D object into irregular fragments and then use them to simulate an explosion, for example, in a space shooter. We will start in Blender and complete the whole effect in Godot.

Dev log time!

I made a new beach scene so I could have another area for festivals (plz ignore the date for Valentine’s, I didn’t want to play through 14 days), added a bug catching mechanic (but I still need to implement the different bug behaviours), then I needed animations for the visual feedback, so I procrastinated by refactoring my player controller into a state machine. Except refactoring didn’t take as long as I thought it would, so I eventually forced myself to open Blender and made some bug catching animations, as well as some animal interaction animations. And you can now pick up your chickens too.

I didn’t think I achieved much in the last month actually, but that’s a decent amount of work, good job me lol

What is fukounaBot?

This is an introductory post for me and my game— fukounaBot.

fukounaBot is a survival movement game set in the authoritarian and fascist American Empire in the year 20XX. But what is a “survival movement game”? And why is it set in the “American Empire”?

A Proper Trigger Warning

Here’s the list of everything this game depicts that may be triggering. This list will update periodically. Keep in mind that if something is depicted, it does NOT mean I support it.

• Violence and death
• Body horror and lots of fleshy things
• Gender / body dysmorphia
• Nazism, fascism, and authoritarianism
• Suicide and the celebration of
• Panic attacks
• Grieving

“Survival Movement Game?”

I don’t like to call this game a shooter because it has very anti-war and anti-violence sentiments. This isn’t a game about killing Nazis, it’s a game about fascism, gender, bigotry, and much more. It has movement shooter mechanics, similar to ULTRAKILL and Don’t Stop, Girlypop!, but to have this speed, you must upkeep your robotic body.

“Why American Empire?”

Many people don’t recognize how deeply rooted America’s history is in bigotry, slavery, imperialism, and lawlessness. Sure, we were founded because the British taxes us, but any colony will eventually break away from the motherland. Even today, there is slavery and lawlessness. The American Empire is that to an extreme. It controls all of North and Central America, and has it’s arms wrapped around South America’s throat. The Middle East is starved and it is in constant war fighting them.

Okay, but who do you play as?

You play as Noelle Anthroson, an unbiologoical robot who is in constant need of repair. She lives in the slums of The New York Megacity, a city stretching miles underground and above ground, hosting billions of people. She desperately wants to become Human. All robots are given this innate desire, so that biological upgrades can be sold for exorbitant prices.

Oh! Biorobotics!

The line between man and machine is blurred. Many machines, to lessen the costs of repairs and energy, have been made out of biological material. Even your roomba is made of flesh, even if it doesn’t look like a giant pile of bulging flesh. Still, “pure humans” look down upon robots, biological or not. They are violent, rapists, a statistic, here to ruin the country, and not of Lord Christ.

So Much More To Share

This is just barely scratching the surface. I have so much more to say and show. Here, I will post updates about fukounaBot.

Stay tuned,

New #devlog video:

New animation when finishing a level - 8-bitBot Devlog 14

I am trying to cut down the time of making these videos, because I have such a lack of time right now. So this time I tried editing the video from different takes - which is something I haven’t really tried doing before.

devlog 2

ok so… i failed miserably with isometric tile system and i had to go back with the top down idea. it doesnt look good but… at least it’s working 🥹

i changed the trash collecting process thoroughly omfg it was so much easier than my initial idea. also more boring but who cares.

my top priority is to finish this shjt

New Game Dev Log is up

I’m currently working on battle sprites for my RPG Maker game.

Game Dev Log 14.03.26

i am @katakatakombe and i am making a cool RPG about these guys (more specifically a 2D action-adventure rpg with some incremental elements)

i’ll be posting development updates and miscellaneous doodles and stuff about this game here

if you’re interested in any of that you should follow this account or join this discord server https://discord.gg/A2f2A7mBUF (or both!!), and if you’ve got any questions you can use that one button on my blog page and yell at me

3 Fun facts:

- The sea berry, fruit of the sea buckthorn is rich in vitamin C and B.
- Sand martins are the smallest types of martins and swallows in Europe. They burrow into cliffs instead of nesting in trees.
- The Baltic Sea’s waters contain, on average, 7 grams of salt per kg of water.

>> DEV_LOG / 13.03.2026

>> status = in_bruh…

>> log: давненько ничего не писал, так что привет всем кто наткнется.

>> log: и так немного о событиях о этой неделе. первой, сессия закрыта(так странно после 11 лет тотального троечника быть хорошистом, но да пох), но сама практика началась довольно абсурдно(сейчас будет довольно скучно)_

>> log: во первых проект с криптографической лабой идет далеко нахуй. почему? тут кое что поинтереснее дали(с возможность спиздить к себе в портфолио). тупо две локальные проги. первая ищет уязвимости в коде, вторая тупо лаунчер для консольных команд-УтЕлИт. бедная моя задница, ибо сначала бегал к одному человеку, потом к своему начальнику и так по кругу, но не о чем не жалею, мне все понравилось, однако…пришел домой и теперь есть ощущение что решил заглотить что-то что не влезет в мою глотку, но не впервые_

>> log: а ну еще с прошедшим 8 марта прекрасных дам(лучше поздно чем никогда). что бы волосики не секлись и ногти не слоились и не ломались_

>> log: всем бб, и как прошла ваша неделя?_

>> exit.

Je crée du nouveau

J'ai l'impression que ça fait un moment que je n'ai pas écris avec le cœur ici et je n'ai que 10 minutes alors je vais être efficace.

En ce moment, je travaille sur le chapitre 3 (l'alternatif) qui sollicite énormément ma créativité car plus que jamais : je crée quelque chose de nouveau qui n'existe nulle part ailleurs.

Je n'ai même pas une quelconque inspiration sur laquelle m'appuyé, je suis totalement en freestyle. J'ai à cœur de créer quelque chose de cool mais en même temps je ressens une petite peur.

C'est une peur saine, c'est la même qui m'accompagne depuis le début de ce projet. La peur de ne pas réussir à me plaire à moi-même. J'ai peur de ne pas réussir à être satisfait de ce que je fais.

“J'ai l'truc dans la tête, il faut que je le sorte.”

Ces jours-ci, j'ai regardé beaucoup d'ancienne photo et j'ai halluciné de voir à quel point le projet a avancé en quelques mois. J'suis heureux mais j'ai aussi une frayeur en moi.

Je suis à mi-chemin

Bily'Sine doit être à 35%~40% d'achèvement, c'est une période stressante car je peux commencer à constater le chemin parcouru et j'ai peur de tomber.

Par exemple, c'est comme si j'étais à la moitié de l'ascension du mont Everest, et tout à coup, je regarde en bas… J'ai le vertige, j'ai peur de tomber, peur d'échouer ou de faire moins bien…

Comme je l'ai beaucoup dis dans tout mes posts, je doute, seul dans mon coin. Mais, j'apprends à dompter tout ça, je pense que c'est justement ma force, mon moteur.

C'est difficile à décrire tout ça, mais en tout cas, sachez que c'est difficile, je n'arrive pas trop à me projeter dans les jours à venir. Je crée au jour le jour, je ne sais pas où tout ça va me mener, mais JE DOIS le faire.

Pourquoi j'écris tout ça ?

Eh bien, je me dis que peut-être qu'un jour quelqu'un lira mes posts et comprendra qu'avant de réussir quelque chose de marquant, j'ai toujours et je serais TOUJOURS dans le doute.

Telle est ma création.

C'est justement le thème du chapitre que je suis entrain de créer.
