Im on a whole new schedule with my son so dev time has slipped away, but a mismatch update is coming with some cool new things, a basic weather system, a fixed save system, new dark interior, and fixed audio adjustment options #indiedev #solodev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/3175130/...

ok couple days break, back to working on ATOYOs March update, spent just a touch of time cleaning up the audio so theres new SFX and music(thank you incomptech) and audio options to at least turn the volume up and down. store.steampowered.com/app/3175130/... #indiedev #solodev #cozygame

Of course the one night my son sleeps like a normal human being (hes 2 months we were actually terrified something was wrong) is the night I slept like 3 hours, and now I’m to tired to do anything, and even if I did want to do anything im terrified to move him and wake him up

Small celebration as my game ATOYO crosses 100 wishlists. store.steampowered.com/app/3175130/... #indiegame #gaming #dungeonsanddragins #tavern #decorating #cozygame

Took the night off dev work, cleaned the house instead while taking care of my son. A clean house and working space does wonders for mental health… rhat being said the basement is still an absolute disaster but I can only do so much.

ok fix is done, issues mostly resolved for what I saw tonight, and build has been uploaded and pushed live. ugh... really REALLY need to leave a day or two for playtesting instead of just trying to push content out. store.steampowered.com/app/3175130/... #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Alright bugs fixed and a little optimization done, going to check a few more things and ensure everything is working

AHHHHHHHH.... i hate being stupid, I totally forgot to add Rigidbodies to some of the new items which means they don't parent which means if they're on the second floor they don't get hidden properly......... shit fixing it now

IT IS LIVE! the big February update is now live on steam a whole host of new items have been added to the game, new tables, chairs, weapons, weapon racks, banners, barrels, lights, shields, etc #gaming #cozygame #indiegame #comfygame #D&D #tavern #solodev store.steampowered.com/app/3175130

this has been a massive push for me, getting so much content ready for the first of this years monthly updates, I have 1 day left, so i think what i'm going to do is add some rugs, a handful of decorative rugs #gaming #indiedev #solodev #cozygame #indiegame store.steampowered.com/news/app/317...

FLAGS! yep we got flags, just a couple, the first 3 represent local kingdoms, human, elf, dwarf, the last 2 are banners for gods, Husan'vun, god of storms and death, and Oru-dal god of the sea and fishing store.steampowered.com/news/app/317... #indiedgame #solodev #indiedev #gamedev #D&D

weirdly the square banner was the worse to make....ok but we have 5 different banners SHOULD be enough for now, i'll add in a bunch for the other gods and peoples of the area LATER

me and my wife :D shes always been a lover of elfs and i've always been a lover of Dwarves, so I guess that makes our son a hobbit? short, strong willed, loves gardening, and super cute.

ok the flags are going to take maybe all night if not 2, this took me like an hour to do BUT it is my dwarves, my warhammer army logo, my blacksmithing logo, my 40k army name..... ok maybe the others can be simpler lol

Tonight's work was brand new items, barrels, lots of barrels, thankfully it was basically make it once and work from there lol #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #D&D #indiegame #tavern #gaming store.steampowered.com/news/app/317...

my son has had the best nights sleep in 3 days tonight (which means tomorrows screwed lol) BUT that does mean i managed to knock out the new chair options for ATOYO - Stool - Tavern Chair - Stump - Log Bench #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #cozygame #D&D store.steampowered.com/app/3175130/...

working on the new chairs tonight, and saw I had at one point already modeled a stool...... uh yeah, I guess it was VERY early on in development #indiegame #indiedev store.steampowered.com/app/3175130/...

Added and updated the default tables in the game. Log -> Birch Plank -> new textures Round -> No change New: Hexagon table (in the middle) Fancy Log Tabled (on the Right) #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #indiegame store.steampowered.com/app/3175130/...

The default lights are done and ready for the big February update at the end of the month. #solodev #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #cozygame #tavern #D&D

The lights are taking far longer to make than any sword or shield, but they look so good

only realizing now (and i know it's been 3 years) I am just making a great RPG asset pack.... something I can 100% use to make an RPG later on, dunno if any of this will hit the asset store or anywhere else for that matter but like .... I can 100% make an RPG with all of these items.

is uh... is the standing torch too on the nose? #indiegame #gaming #solodev #gamedev #indiedev

Little slower today, taking care of my son for most of the night, but i get 3 new lights in and about 4 more to go before this section of defaults is done, (theres already like 5 candle options and a wall torch so lights are doing good already)

alright fellow devs, how does this magic fire in a bottle look as a little light source, it's not terribly bright but it's more about atmosphere rather than actual light. first part of the video it's on the table corner closes to the camera #indiedev #solodev #cozygame #indiegame

SHIELDS!!!

new swords and shields, 1 more shield to add then the defaults are done #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame

wanted to make something that represents a faction in the world proper, like i did with the original kingdom of the black goat flag. this is the default tower shield, there won't be many, not a lot of factions use them in the world ATOYO is set in.

TWO MORE! modified the old "Kite" shield to better resemble an actual kite shield, and then changed the texture with a bit of editing to create the damaged variant

new bucklers added to the game, next to make a damaged kite shield, then tower and aspis and that will bring us up to five default shields in the game

and with that the default swords are done, I guess part 1 of the february update is done, no build will be pushed until the end of the month, BUT PROGRESS has been made

SWORDS! 2 more to go then im done with the swords and can move on to the new shields

even if it's just one or two a day, new items are getting into the game, the february update will be a big one. #solodev #gamedev #cozygame #indiedev #indiegame

ok work on deadvoid is paused until the end of the month, back to atoyo, bunch of new items to add and get ready :D it's taken just a touch of time to remember HOW to add new items but i did make it very simple, so yay new stuff in the works

couldn't get the thought out of my head, the old turret controls were in groups of 2, top, left, right, but as myself i would want individual control of each turret target, and then why would i not alos want tobe able to shoot ALL at one target, like a boss or something later on. #indiedev #solodev

going from working on my itty bity laptop to my desktop make deadvoid look SO CHEESY.... ugh, my heart, it looks so bad

the nesting in unity can be suck a kick in the dick sometimes, all last night and 2 hours tonight couldn't figure out why the particles for the guns we'ren't firing, turns out becuase they were nested in the gun model, which is in an empty pivot controller, they just wouldn't play.

My god do I miss the world pre ai…. I spend more time now wondering if the thing I’m looking at online is even real or Juan some programs hallucination.

youtu.be/eZGjrP6ROfs?... alpha stage 1 is nearly done #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #unitydev

for just working off my laptop things are moving VERY smoothly.

fucking suck it genie3, 3 days of work (maybe 20 hours total) www.youtube.com/watch?v=isOt... in 20 hours i've made an enemy move, player move, enemy shoot, player shoot, both take damage, both die if they reach 0, and all can be adjusted as i see fit. fuck you Ai.

the ship is now bristling with the Mrk 1 Kinetic turrets

I got so mad at the people praising Genie 3 that i spent the last 2 nights (like i dunno 10 hours max) making a new game, and it's honestly been a blast to develop, space ship game where you have to get resources from the start to the end. just to prove fuck you , we don't need AI to make games.

are you telling me after ten years.... they still don't know how D&D works? #strangerthings

bummer, for it to be proportional to the human body it would need to be like this... but i really wanted that like dome head helmet, gotta work on the design a bit

Hearing someone on the news say employees will need to adapt or be left behind and they should use ai almost daily in their personal life…that got me angry.

with the new build up for ATOYO I wanted to spend some time working on the character model for my next game. wanting to do an FPS or TPS Doom style game, but you play as a walking tank instead of a god of war, lots of chances to die, lots of chances to survive, lots of death either way.

published the new 0.2.0 update for my game ATOYO, to steam, freebuild mode is unlocked and new items will be added monthly, with a story mode and character customization coming as soon as i can get it done #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #indiegame #cozygame #D&D store.steampowered.com/app/3175130/...

Seriously, they have an entire art department how the fuck does this keep happening ? 2 barrels, 2 dust covers. #battlefield6 Hire artists, use artists, stop using ai to make dumb shit

I fucking can't with these people ... they literally have an entire art department, and they chose to use AI ... the train isn't even on the fucking tracks

main menu is a WIP still... but i think it looks cool #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #indiegame
