Revisiting weapon system, more specifically ’aiming’ It’s surprisingly hard getting an aiming mode working reliably together with every other player system, without bugs Also: canted aiming! #indiedev #retrofps #ue5 #gamedev #unrealengine #psx

They can now throw things at you, The Last of Us style. Inspired by their E3 trailer (and ILL), NPC’s can now pickup objects and throw at you to disorient you #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #ue5 #retrofps

Doing some 2.5D ragdoll physics today It’s a blend between my previous IK logic, Reagera, and actual #ue5 physics. So far it works great, but still a bit lackluster in actual ragdoll animations. I feel this is a problem for future me #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #gamedev #retrofps

POV: you’re my fridge at 3am when I feel cravings for cheese #ue5 #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunreal #retrofps #psx

Been redoing the looting containers for a more diegetic approach. So far it feels smooth but snappy, which is what I want. I think it will mesh together nicely with the other diegetic systems! #ue5 #retrofps #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Oh and this is Lumen btw! This is someone who keeps sneaking in front of my feet everyday, imagining he’s David trying to conquer Goliath. I love this weird little rat to death, but my hair can only get so gray. Similar to @freya.bsky.social I think cats and math is a match made in heaven :)

While working on my ”A-life type system”, I realised when the NPCs go into their offline state my poor little froggies loose their sense of direction. And there goes the rest of my day.. #gamedev #indiedev #ue5 #psx #retrofps

Feels good to FINALLY sit down and properly do some capsule art for the #Steam page. I feel I’ve been putting it off because these will actually define my artstyle, which is terrifying, but this feels right. One step closer to that scary green button #UE5 #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

PSA: regularly backup your goddamn projects. Use version control, or just raw dog duplicate the whole project. I just lost a month of big, and small, changes because of one corrupted file. In an attempt to restore that file, I had to recommit older stuff. #gamedev #indiedev #dev #programming

Introducing 2.5D inverse kinematics Is it necessary? no. Is it worthwhile? idk. (it’s also in full 8 directional Doom mode) #gamedev #retrofps #ue5 #unrealengine #indiedev

”I’ve been trying to reach you about your car’s extended warranty” #ue5 #retrofps #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

PARKOUR?! PARKOUR! I’m beginning to feel like this game wants to be ”Dying Light but Stalker: Anomaly” And I like it #UE5 #gamedev #retrofps #survivalgame

Introducing some verticality via free running movement. Beginning to feel smooth and grounded without feeling ”floaty” #UE5 #gamedev #retrofps #screenshotsaturday

How did I miss #UE5 built-in screenshot command?! Now I can go from 1080p to 5k resolution, Steam store page is going to be crisp #psx #indiedev #retrofps

First draft of the official reveal trailer is finally done, this is harder to finish than I’d like. I now actually have to set the style of the game, sigh.. Here’s some screenshots #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #ue5 #retrofps

Back to foliage again, it’s so godamn hard to nail correctly. Either the colors are off or they hurt my eyes because of the retro shader #blockbench #ue5 #retrofps #psx #screenshotsaturday

Last spam, I promise! ————— - Move + rot: models now snap to grid - Adjust export camera height - Scaling - Export sprites: 8 directions or from view - File format support: .glb + .gltf + .obj See comment below! :) (Again, model by @gapbite.bsky.social) #gamedev #software #godotengine #fluxanim

Rotation on Z axis is now working, next for today is position and rest of rotation editing. Making readable and not annoying gizmo is so much harder than I anticipated.. Models by the lovely @gapbite.bsky.social #screenshotsaturday #software #godot #psx #gamedev #3d

You can now export a sprite sheet!! Took awhile to understand how blit_rect is properly used, but finally the #software actually works as intended! Props can now be rendered into an 8 directional sprite sheet for #psx and Doom-style games Next: animation, keyframes, Ik #gamedev #godot #indiedev

Baby steps! Save/load, import .obj models, recent projects tab. Slowly it’s becoming an actual application! #gamedev #psx #fluxanim #godotengine

It’s way too early to show anything yet, but I’m currently working on a new standalone tool for my #psx gamedevs out there. Entirely made with #godot #gamedev

To whichever LEGEND decided to support me for my 8 directional sprite asset, I will kiss you on the forehead and read you a bed time story tonight! You got me a coffee out of sheer kindness, damn. It isn’t all stress and frustration with this #gamedev thing after all :)

I promise this is actually a survival game.. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #unrealengine #ue5 #survivalgame

how every monday hits you. #gamedev #unrealengine #retrofps #survivalgame #ue5

Saying goodbye to the weekend with a bang! TW: hanging #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine #retrofps #survivalgame

REAGERA animation system rework is almost done, they can now trip over things and hit their heads! And more performant by filtering and tracing only what’s needed! #gamedev #unrealengine #retrofps

Using modified Nokia 3310 technology, we now have a group chat similar to Stalker’s PDA #gamedev #retrofps #survivalgame

While prototyping vehicles, I had the genius idea to attach a rope pole. It’s gonna be fun dragging frogmen across the ground! #indiedev #retrofps #unrealengine

Clever girl… #gamedev #retrofps #unrealengine

More rope physics goodness! I got rope poles where you can attach the other end. Testing some tension between pillars #gamedev #indiedev #unrealengine

FINALLY got rope tension. It took a lot of trail and error (and hair loss) to get here. It’s not polished in the slightest, but it works! :) #retrofps #gamedev #unrealengine

i hate it here. #indiedev #retrofps #unrealengine

Progress for the ”Reagera” animation system is coming along. It handles character animations dynamically based on world context around the NPC’s #retrofps #gamedev #unrealengine

Wanted to be a part of @jasozzgames.bsky.social ”kicking club”, heard they serve lobsters for breakfast #screenshotsaturday #retrofps

Last ones for today #blockbench #unrealengine #indiedev

so, foliage is hard.. has anyone any resources for modeling actual good looking foliage? (asking for a friend) #3d #blockbench #art

Swedish buildings for #screenshotsaturday Oh Konsum, my beloved. You are missed :/ #gamedev #retrofps #unrealengine

Fashion is now implemented! Keep it stylish with different backpacks when slaughtering people! #gamedev #unrealengine #indiedev #retrofps #psx

Alright, weapon control is coming along. You can now manually check approximate bullets left with ’left ctrl’. If you reload when checking, the reload time is considerably shorter! (Also counts the bullet in chamber) #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #retrofps

Close range gun combat: Is it fun yet? Meh. Is the concept there? Big yes! #unrealengine #gamedev #retrofps #indiedev

Today’s monday, I’m currently working on some ”sound physics” to get some atmosphere going! Attenuation is not in place here yet, but we’re getting there #indiedev #unrealengine #gamedev

New hut for the village area #psx #indiedev #unrealengine #gamedev #art

Finally, the starting area is coming along. Been postponing art for awhile now #psx #indiedev #unrealengine #gamedev

For #screenshotsaturday, here’s three cultists warming themselves during a cold night. #indiedev #unrealengine #retrofps

only because I can, doesn’t mean I should.. #indiedev #gamedev #retrofps #survivalhorror

Combat is now getting somewhere, testing some close range situations #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine

I’m finally beginning development on NPC behaviour. Now trying to develop a solid 2.5D animation system, inspired by The Last of Us. #indiedev #gamedev #unrealengine #screenshotsaturday

First ambience test, a small break from features and debugging #gamedev #retrofps #indiedev

For #screenshotsaturday I got to try out some of my moss assets I’ve been wanting to use forever (ignore the poor skull model) #gamedev #unrealengine

Three days later, reworked inventory & pickup animation now works as intended! :) (UI is placeholder) #gamedev #unrealengine
