Next Fest can be a little daunting - that's why we need brave individuals like Sergiu to play squillions of thinky demos and bring us the best.

Here's what he found 👇

@mattcarrier I'm so happy to hear that, Thank you! It's definitely inspired from the games I grew up with.

If you're willing I would really appreciate a review on the demo page, even this comment would be really nice.

The demo build for Hazard Pay has been submitted for review for Steam Next Fest!

1.5 years in the making - I'm excited, relieved and somewhat terrified.

Hey everyone,
Back with an update to Hazard Pay, my dark puzzler about destroying evidence!

I've added a socket system to my electrical grid which allows for dynamic placement of generators, switches and devices - This should allow for a bunch of fun interactions between new and existing mechanics.

A demo is coming soon in preparation for Steam Next Fest! If you're keen to give Hazard Pay a go, I'd be stoked if you added it to your Wishlist.

Hey everyone,

I made a Tool Script to make changing the level sequence in Hazard Pay trivial.

Piggy-backing on the Line2D node, I can use the point index to determine the Level order, and the position (after snapped to the TileMapLayer) to instantiate the LevelSelect scene - Saving a bunch of manual work.

How are you using Tool Scripts in #godot?
