The combat deflection mechanics in this game by @poohcom1 are actually crazy good. Just look at this gameplay. It plays like a perfectly choreographed pixel film that bends to your will. Phenomenal work. Please give this one a look! #IndieGame #IndieDev #GameDev #PixelArt #ActionGame #CombatDesign #GameFeel #Roguelite #HackAndSlash #Steam #SteamDeck #PCGaming #Gaming #VideoGames #GameTrailer #GameplayTrailer #UpcomingGames

I just posted a #DevLog on #itch about my process designing a turn-based combat system that replaces HP as the objective by status effects. If you're interested, please check it out and let me know your thoughts! #IndieDev #GameDev #CombatDesign matteozoda.itch.io/gd3protot…

I had a ton of fun with weapons in Witherbloom, a thrust with a sword is one of the more versatile attacks you can do in life, often put at the of a combo in games. Here I had the opportunity to put it as the first alternative attack like I always wanted. #animation #combatdesign

Some more highlights of the combat system we have been building in Witherbloom, some range and AOE skills plus some special enemies and mini bosses. #animation #combatdesign

After more than 2 years working on Witherbloom we finally reached our first demo, which means I can share some of my work. I have been slowly moving into #combatdesign so here you can see some of the work I have been putting together alongside my #animation. #indieDev

Anticipation. Action. Aftershock. Layered feedback, camera kick, particles, and sound make every strike hit harder. This is the game feel we build at Formless. #GameFeel #CombatDesign #UnrealEngine

Smarter combat AI. Enemies now push for high ground — and it shows. New problem: when both sides jockey for position, fights can turn into awkward “leapfrog” situations. Now it’s a design question. #gamedev #indiedev #CombatDesign #GameDesign #TurnBasedTactics

Game developers often struggle with satisfying combat against gun-wielding enemies. It's a challenge Resident Evil smartly sidesteps, acknowledging AI limitations. The key might be avoiding those direct confrontations altogether. #GameDev #CombatDesign
