Making serious ground with what I call the "PAINTING MODE". This is the latest prototyped version of the feature: #gamedev #indiegames #painting #unrealengine #abstract

I might be cooked, because everytime I use this node, my brain goes "chat, is this valid?" #brainrot #gamedev #unrealengine

I am prototyping a "create an image out of abstract shapes"-mechanic, and this is the very first iteration! #gamedev #indiegame #unrealengine #painting #gamedesign

Whoop whoop, body swap in ABSTRACTICA. #gamedev #unrealengine #indiegame

Like looking into a twisted mirror... #indiegame #abstract #gamedev #inverted

dear bluesky, enjoy this instagram reel I made about the shape enemies in my game ABSTRACTICA. love, marciman #gamedev #indiegames #unrealengine #abstract #shapes

Time to have fun with the upgrade descriptions! #indiegame #gamedev #epsilongreedy #roguelike

posted this one on the socials yesterday, maybe bluesky also enjoys this timelaps of me building a level for ABSTRACTICA! #gamedev #leveldesign #indiegame #icecream

starting to build some new "Levels" for ABSTRACTICA... well they are more stages than levels. I am trying to make the level so it always has a clear goal, in this case the level exit. Time to add some enemies then! #indiegame #gamedev #leveldesign

for someone that does know very little about colors and such I sure do spent a LOT of time on coloring my game. my color palette now consists of the very delicate selection of EVERY COLOR THERE EVER WAS?! #color #gamedev #unrealengine #indiegame

Do you like adding abstract upgrade cubes to a weapon? Do you appreciate seing what that upgrade actually does in a UI? Then wishlist ABSTRACTICA on Steam, and follow me here for updates on development! #gamedev #indiegame #unrealengine #upgrades store.steampowered.com/app/3571580/...

me: I am forcing myself to not get lost in perfection and not start refactoring the project. also me: *spends 3 days refactoring the upgrade logic* But hey, everything is quite robust now, and I can start designing some of these proper upgrade cubes. #unrealengine #indiegame #gamedev #abstract

least insane commit message of the day #gamedev

You may not like it, but this is what PEAK Gameplay Ability System usage looks like (pls help I have no idea if this attribute system will work but I am too far down the road to stop now) #gamedev #unrealengine #gamedesign

the amount of times there is an "apparently" in my comments really tanks my self-credibility in terms of game dev knowledge. on the other hand, if it works, it works! #gamedev #indiegames #unrealengine

Being back at ABSTRACTICA is sooo nice, I am doing serious Gameplay Ability System stuff lets gooooooo. #unrealengine #gamedev

Alright gang, what do we think of the new damage and heal SFX in ABSTRACTICA? 🔺 Tried to be abstract with it, but also clear in terms of feedback of what is good for the player and what is bad. Also, the healing VFX is new. 💥 #indiegame #gamedev #sfx #unrealengine #roguelike #sounddesign

Man, it sucks right now that I have to put development on ABSTRACTICA on ice right now for something so little as * checks notes * finishing my degree in 2 weeks ah okay that makes sense I guess. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #degree

So... algorithm is a headscratcher it turns out. While my "Early bossfight demo" short on youtube did 5k views, a very short snippet of the new display changer sound only did around 36-ish? Well, the fucking around and finding out continues! #indiegame #gamedev #algorithm #yougottadribbleit

The void is calling, will you follow? #indiegames #unrealengine #gamedev #roguelike #abstract #bullethell

A secondary ability I've recently been working. You can pick up these attachments for your mask, and then you gain the ability to fire small rockets at all remaining enemies in the room! #indiegames #unrealengine #gamedev #roguelike #abstract #bullethell #mechanic #gamedesign

I made an active reload mechanic, inspired by games like #returnal and #gearsofwar! Let me know what you think, and maybe consider wishlisting ABSTRACTICA on #Steam! store.steampowered.com/app/3571580/... #indiegames #unrealengine #gamedev #roguelike #abstract #bullethell #mechanic #gamedesign

So my #unrealengine game is basically ignoring everything that makes Unreal 'unreal', so I am looking into what are default settings that I can disable. I am purely using unlit materials, simple geometric shapes, and one (1!) char mesh with about 11k tris. Any suggestions? #indiegames #gamedev

Oh dearest Bluesky hive-mind, I am at a struggle here: I set the camera further back and I quite like it, so what do you guys think? #indiegames #unrealengine #gamedev #roguelike #abstract #bullethell #bossfight PS: Also little preview of the (almost finished) boss fight. 🐕🐳🧸

I am so happy with how this whole Tangram style boss fight is turning out, making the animations and attacks is soooo fun. That being said, enjoy this whale doing a back drop! #indiegames #unrealengine #gamedev #roguelike #whale

I swear, 80% of the development of ABSTRACTICA is me figuring out how to minimize the workload going forward... Wait, does that mean I am actually a programmer now? #indiegamedev

Another attack implemented, and it might be the cutest and most chaotic one I've every done! Had to get creative with the management this bullet hell like system, but after NOT spawning 1000 projectile actors, it runs flawlessly :D #indiegames #unrealengine #gamedev #roguelike #abstract #bullethell

Another Sunday, another boss fight progress snippet :D The first couple of attacks are coming along nicely, although animating and all that takes more time than expected haha. Still, quite happy with the progress! #indiegames #unrealengine #gamedev #roguelike #abstract #bullethell

Playing around with the idea of the tangram tiles on the boss changing color when taking a hit, to indicate each tiles health without using an additional health bar! 🩷➡️🩶 Would love thoughts and feedback as well! #indiegames #tangram #abstract #roguelike #gamedev #unrealengine

Might have to become a gardener the way I am building this behavior tree for my boss enemy! I am not sure if behavior trees are the way to go, but this setup works quite nicely so far. Anyone with thought on this, please reach out :D #indiegames #bossfight #roguelike #gamedev

Away from Game Dev for a second. It's actually crazy how fast I became desensitized again to all the Bullshit that is going on with Trump, like I read that there is speculation of the whole tariff thing being insider trading and it barely phases me. If there is a god, please make it end dude

I feel like the character enjoys the bounce pad, but I am not sure! #indiegame #gamedev #bounce #demo

Is it a dog? Is it a whale? Is it... A bear? Is it a squar... okay it's a dog again?! #indiegames #gamedev #isitabird #abstract #art #dog #whale #bear

ehm, so I am doing a boss fight. and holy shoots, this is so fun to do. #indiegames #gamedev #bossfight #abstract #tangram

Rebranding my bluesky account a bit, because hey, here is my face dear internet bubble of game developers! #indiegames #gamedev #helloworld

Working on ABSTRACTICA is super fun, but man, is it also difficult to not think about working on it 24/7. Anyway, looking forward to the next showcase, news coming soon :D #indiegames #indiedev #gamedeveloper

What a way to take a shot at a first bluesky posting :D Glad to be here, and super happy to share a first SFX-Showcase of ABSTRACTICA, my upcoming third person shooter game. #indiegame #indiedeveloper #gamedev #roguelite #abstract #sfx
