I announced my game BREKEKEKEX - a frog hunting combat game inspired by Naruto and Smash Bros. Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4012150/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=rOyX... #indiedev #gamedev

Has anyone got any character designer starter packs? Interested in like manga/shonen/fantasy/creatures stuff

Since there's a big rush of new artists showing up, I'm going to repose my Starter Packs to help everyone find folks. First up, here's the start pack for artists who draw lots of fighting game related art go.bsky.app/RNJYddc

added grabs! still thinking of combat in terms of fighting game concepts even though it isnt pvp #indiedev

interested composers hmu if you can make weird lofi breakcore swampy battle music #indiedev

sir there's a frog in the grass outside #indiedev #gamedev

somehow this is also a frog #indiedev

some frogs are bigger than others #indiegamedev

i'm very bad at estimating timelines #indiegamedev

do you guys like dialogue options #indiegamedev

quick animation practice

working on a first trailer. dramatic turn.

liked the progress so i made a render #b3d #gamedev

i grow stronger

WIP on the new zoner character model. can you guess what sort of powers she'll have? #b3d

🚨Project Shikai is now wishlistable on Steam!🚨 • Combo-based 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁-𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻 fighter • Expressive movement and defensive play • 𝗥𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗻𝗲𝘁𝗰𝗼𝗱𝗲👁️ store.steampowered.com/app/2283230/... #indiegame #gamedev #FGC

anyone have ideas for a magical combat character they really want to tell me about

ripping my eyes out waiting on steam to approve of a store page

desktop mate would be crazy for productivity if the waifu started angrily yelling at you whenever you go off task

Steam page coming soon! I rarely show what it looks like to just walk around, so here is a chiller update #indiegamedev

UI work is pain but a tournamant mode is basically functional! Lots of refactoring but now I can easily swap in other lobby formats like round robin or king of the hill. Can also swap in other game modes (besides deathmatch) whenever I create more.

Goals for January: - steam store page - single elimination tournament mode - do more cardio

* added heavy knockback special * mana bar now displays gains/losses - playtester suggested! #indiegamedev #fgc

400 followers - thanks! 3D melee PvP might be a pretty niche genre, but I think it's ripe for innovation. Super excited to wrap on an initial moveset soon and invite more people to try it out!

Added two new moves for closing distance! * rushing uppercut * two-hit jump in attack Still struggling to finalize a moveset tbh. Lots of trial and error, but we're gettin there... #indiegamedev #fightinggame

In case you just got here via starter pack, here's the game i'm making! I'm going for uniquely first-person, competitive, melee focused gameplay

Some human playtesting! The mind games add a new dynamic you just don't get with the bot #indiedev #fightinggame

game jam idea: replace traditional rankings with a pass/fail vote. Each jam can define more stringent/lax passing criteria. Competition can be discouraging imo, and this way everyone gets a shot at that sweet sweet dopamine hit of community approval

playtesting against an actual human opponent really opens ur eyes to how no one else knows the secret combo strings

Iterated on a sword model. Still pretty basic, but better than the last one, which was just a hastily reshaped katana from my old zoro model #indiedev #fighttinggame

Leaning towards adding health bars in addition to the ring-outs. I think more intricate stages in the future could be cool, and 'ring-outs only' might be restrictive.. And off-stage/edge-guarding doesn't translate well to 3D anyway. Thoughts? #indiedev #fightinggame

can't wait to get cooked at my own game #indiedev #fightinggame

it isn't a fighting game without character intro and victory animations #gamedev #indiefightinggame #unity3d

do your friends know i'm making first person smash bros with swords #indiedev

it is no longer about the gameplay I just want to make cooler edits #indiedev

Just made a starter pack for anyone looking to follow more devs building interesting first-person action experiences! Lmk who I missed go.bsky.app/RNadbJk

I might be on to something with this #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d

Figured out how to use vertex color to adjust outline widths

ideas for making the combat more anime? #indiedev

Added to the pack, this is insanely cool

Dang I tried skybridge a month ago and it found basically 0 people. Just ran it again and it found users for more than half of my twitter follows

Cooking up this swarm/infestation spell that eats up body parts and gets stronger each time it multiplies. It's straight up busted and evil under the right conditions.

wip, trying to practice more optimized topology. Also grabbed auto-rig pro a while ago and haven't tried it yet, so I'll probably give it a shot on this model at some point

teleporting still needs refinement already kinda cool #indiedev

SUGAR OVERDRIVE NOW HAS A STEAM PAGE Please show your support by wishlisting the game, that would mean the world! Link in comments ⬇️ #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #godotengine #indiegames

Was using Unity's character controller for player collisions, but to allow teleporting players to phase through others I'll need to write a custom solution...

Working on a teleportation type move! Suprisingly have to refactor a bunch to be able to make the model disappear in a way that plays nice with the netcode... but at least the changes will work for all 'sustained' model effects going forward

I've been wanting to improve at explaining game dev things. If you have at least basic programming knowledge and are interested in a ~1-hour live intro to Unity, feel free to dm me!
