Win screen. Blobs do the swirl. #screenshotsaturday #soup #indiedev #bevy

Win condition: blobs do a little spin. As a treat. #soup #gamedev #indiedev #bevy

Orange Rock Posy Lichen. NWT, Canada. lichen is about 3cm in longest dimension. #lichen #fungi #fungifriends

Another pass at the first level. Looks almost the same. Subtle differences. Turns out making levels is hard. Game design, man. #soup #indiedev #gamedesign #bevy

OMG look at what I just did, activating time stop during the boss explosion totally by accident. It looks so cool. I was just recording a #gameboy run #indiegame #gamedev #roguelite

Azure skin meets actual simulation. Tutorial level running for real now. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #soup

Azure skin running on the tutorial level with actual simulation now. Core emitting, consuming, metaballs doing their thing. Coming together. #soup #gamedev #indiedev #bevy

Stemonitis sp Slime Mold. NWT, Canada. #myxomycetes #fungifriends The larger slime mold is about 2cm high.

Tutorial mockups evolving. Same scripted scene, now with a proper placeholder skin. Still rough, but easier on the eyes. #soup #gamedev #indiedev #leveldesign #bevy

Placeholder skin that doesn't hurt. Light blue on deep blue. Good enough to stare at while debugging. #soup #gamedev #indiedev #devlog #bevy

Visual docs continue. How purple enemies work—spawn at edges, drift inward, swarm if ignored. #soup #gamedev #indiedev #devlog

Fog of war. Hardly needs explaining, but documenting it anyway. Filling out the game mechanics visual docs. #soup #gamedev #indiedev #devlog

Level design mode. Fast HTML sketches for each tutorial scene. Works for coding. But does it work as a brief for designers? Genuinely asking. #soup #indiedev #leveldesign #screenshotsaturday

First actual discussion about the game in weeks. I'll take it. steamcommunity.com/app/436480/e... #soup #gamedev

Looks much like the stone around it. Ok, the stone might not be as green without the green light.

Shameless ad for merch.bevy.org You too can look super cute (and rep #bevy) :3 Disclaimer: this is a super inefficient way to give us money, the profit margin is set quite low!

Ok here goes nothing. Switching dev branch to default depot. #soup #gamedev

Ok I slept on it, and I am still in love with it. That's it, reworking the game to make the #gameboy palette first class citizen. Palettes in general will be a thing. #gamedev #indiegame

Hunter mode cycling. Default mode: sane. Other modes: chaos. Work in progress. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #soup

Borrowed from Pax Britannica. Hold to select unit, cooldown shown on the same circle. All the info in one spot. #soup #gamedev #indiedev #bevy

Trying the obvious: spawn cooldowns. Like almost every other RTS. Open question—what happens when you're holding "emit" but the cooldown isn't ready yet? Queue it? Ignore it? Visual feedback? #gamedev #indiedev #bevy

Weekly Steam update: store.steampowered.com/news/app/436... #soup #indiedev

Dash visuals. Elastic stretch + afterimage trail. One of the procedural skins. Aiming for that PixelJunk sidescroller vibe—retro-futuristic, clean lines. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev

Bustling city of creatures with bright red staring eyes #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

I'm adding mushroom culture, it still needs some tuning. #ScreenshotSaturday #indiedev #gamedev

Broke something. Now it just stares. #soup #bevy #gamedev #indiedev

Scout mode draft. Harvesters pushing outward, exploring. Still figuring out the right levers. Hunters can be clever—harvesters are jelly blobs. Keep them dumb. #soup #gamedev #indiedev #gameai

👁️Loop of Command is a cute automation puzzle. Program obedient robots to survive your next performance review. Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4180270?... #indiedev #gamedev #puzzlegames #indiegame #WishlistWednesday

Prowl behavior. Hunters drift in loose spirals until something crosses their path. #soup #gameai #gamedev #indiedev

Getting better. Hunters now predict where targets will be. Still struggle when speeds are close and paths aren't straight. But they're trying. #soup #bevy #indiedev #gameai

First battle effect: mines pulse on attack. Game sends event, skin library handles the visual. Simple for now—the glass membranes will make this look way better. #soup #devlog #gamedev #indiedev

Easy to get carried away designing abstractions for problems you don't have yet. Moved procedural skins to a separate repo. Started planning shared trait crates, plugin registries, DLC boundaries. For two skin types. Caught myself. Back to building. #soup #gamedev #indiedev

Back to basics. Contour placeholders—outlines and pattern fills. New mechanics need instant visuals, not polished art. Pretty comes later. #soup #gamedev #indiedev

The boss fight is added, and you can finally escape from the hole, but only if you can beat him. Can you? www.lexaloffle.com/bbs/?tid=144... #pico8 #gamedev #pixelart #indiegame #

Hunters were supposed to surround prey. They just drop the ball instead. #soup #gamedev #bevy

Weekly #devlog update store.steampowered.com/news/app/436... #gamedev #indiedev

Simplest unit—just a ball in a membrane. Pretty sure the big thing spawns them by pinching off its tentacles. Little blobby offspring. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

They hunt in packs now. Target selection, formation keeping, disbanding when idle. More to come. #gamedev #indiedev #bevy

I tried to change the refraction method I was going for to a cubemap instead of layered front and back faces and somehow ended up here so that's fine. The shit looks like a portal through time and space now and I'm okay with that all dice should look like that anyway.

I was inspired by another amazing animation from Jon Kantner, so I made a pure CSS version. 400 squares, using sibling-index() and sibling-count(), a bunch of trig functions, and some typed arithmetic. (Currently works in Chrome 140+ only) Live demo on @codepen.io: codepen.io/amit_sheen/f...

Dual contouring on GPU for the wriggly innards. Testing how much the fake refraction sells the glass on its own. #bevy #indiedev #devlog
