"I'd get into Godot but people are culty about it." Oh. I should block you. Hey look, you follow me. Well, not anymore. 👋

Here's another non-screenshot #screenshotsaturday! I've made some new shaders for the black hole and explosion effect of this weapon in my #indiegame source_control. Check it out on itch! scarzehd.itch.io/source-control #gamedev #godot #shader

No, this isn't a late April Fools' joke, we're actually adding "the ground" to #NovaSquadron! Introducing the secret fifth region, the Crystal Highlands, where freezing temperatures condense rare minerals in the clouds into huge pillars. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I didn't forget to post about this. I was just waiting to give us a second wave of engagement. Anyone who claims otherwise is a liar and a scoundrel.

i took part in the charity game jam that the autistic creative hub organized this year you can get the game in a pay what you want bundle here: itch.io/b/3659/ach-g... or check out the game that me n the others in the team worked hard on over here: mateusboga.itch.io/fantasy-corp

What I think a lot of people don't realize is that in order for Glitch to be a revolution in the animation industry, there needs to be more companies doing a similar thing. We need options.

I'm curious if posting in gamedev feeds really makes that much sense. Does it really help non-dev gamers see your game?

New update to my #indiegame! v0.1.0.0 marks the start of a new versioning scheme. More interestingly, we've done a bunch of visual and audio overhauls and rebalanced every upgrade in the game. Go play source_control! scarzehd.itch.io/source-control #gamedev #godot #3d

Art is too hard. Game devs should just replace everything with words moving on a screen. Reject models and textures. Return to ASCII.

I posted a new gameplay video of my #indiegame source_control. Check it out. #gamedev #godot www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2uT...

I wrote a song to justify spending $180 on FL Studio. Please listen to it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=NbCy...

AI bros will spend a week trying to draw anime girls and then decide they don't have enough Natural Talent (tm) and buy a ChatGPT subscription.

Our next update opens up a new region of the Origin System: the Uranus Proxima. Unlock it by completing the Jade Shadows: Constellations Quest this June and enjoy our most accessible Railjack Missions yet — no ship of your own required!

Another project from this year, Star Tunnel, which I worked on for about 3 weeks. It's built on the #Godot engine (what's new), with a little art from #Blender. Music is from a free library (I should find the artist). #GameDev #SoloDev #ProcGen

I've been working on this enemy spawn animation for source_control. It's still a work in progress (I'm just using Source engine clip and skip brushes for the textures!) but it's good enough for #ScreenshotSaturday. #indiegame #gamedev #godot

source_control's first #ScreenshotSaturday! I'm finally working on new textures for my #indiegame. #gamedev #godot

I opened a godot proposal (dicussion) for exposing dynamic autocomplete for function paramaters. You know how Godot will sometimes provide autocomplete for stringy identifiers? Such as property names in Tweens? I want access to that same system. github.com/godotengine/... #godot

The first song in the soundtrack of my #indiegame, source_control, is up on YouTube. It was written by a friend of mine, so we'd both appreciate if you could check out the rest of his work as well. m.youtube.com/watch?v=C9fV... #gamedev #music

i imagine ProBuilder does all this in unity itself, and probably does it more efficiently for a unity game, but having it all in blender has its perks (using it for godot later)

little experiment with this Anvil LD blender addon because i wanted a good test level. makes blender more Hammer-like, pretty good to use

I recently posted a gameplay video of my #indegame source_control showing off the new music and sound effects. I think a lot of these turned put very well, but there's still a lot more to do. youtu.be/gSBorVkHUHc #gamedev #godot #sounddesign #music

"Hey Matt, how do you sign your work?" "Oh, just like a super extra-normal way."

A new build of my #indiegame prototype, source_control, is up now featuring WIP sound design, adaptive audio, and the first original song on the soundtrack. Check it out. scarzehd.itch.io/source-control #gamedev #godot

The first song for my #indiegame source_control has been written. It's not ready to share yet since I have some other sound design stuff I need to get done first, but it really brings everything together. #gamedev #godot #music

I don't know why it took me so long to get around to this, but I am adding a dice roller to the Virtual GM Screen. #Godot #TTRPG​

I spent some time today working on sound effects for my #indiegame. There's a surprising lack of good gunshot sounds available for free online and I can't seem to get anything that sounds good. Anyone got any tips? #gamedev #sounddesign

I'm never happy to see a great game developer struggling, so my offer is always open - if you need a signal boost, let me know and I'll be happy to do it!

just a small bit of progress today, polishing some stuff #godot #gamedev

working on my "world brush" system which lets me place 3d brushes in the scene to control terrain and flora parameters this is going to help so much for giving biomes unique visuals! #indiedev #gamedev

Dungeons... they are increasingly becoming generated. #gamedev #roguelike #procgen #pcg #indiedev #pixelart #indiegamedev #indiegame

Finally, source_control's first enemy model is more or less complete. It still needs textures, though. #indiegame #gamedev #godot #blender

WIP enemy model for my #indiegame. This is probably the worst 3D model I've ever made, so I guess it's only uphill from here?

Blocks for Babies is the first boomer shooter to innovate in the hand-holding space. There's a lot more to talk about too, but that's your tease ;) Wishlist for more: store.steampowered.com/app/2776770/Blocks_for_Babies/ #TeaseYaGame #gamedev

I want to be clear about this early on. None of my games will ever use generative AI for assets, code, ideas, or anything else. 100% of my games are and will always be human-made.

Some decent progress on Bobi's character model! Not bad for my first 3d model, I'd say! 😎 #Blender | #Art | #IndieGame | #GameDev | #ドット絵

source_control presents an interesting level design challenge. Every tile needs to be its own self-contained, modular challenge with doors in the same place. They also need to fit into one of several discrete size categories. #gamedev #indiegame

Terminal velocity update! Entry/exit animations for the level are implemented. And it keeps being fun to see how nice things of this game are in fullhd :) #gamedev #remake

Today's song recommendation. Stranded Lullaby - Miracle Musical. Calm, tranquil, almost ethereal. Very underrated in the Tally Hall community.

There's something kinda relaxing about doing optimization passes in #Unity3d. Went from 16 FPS to 90, and 12,000 draw calls to 1,900 by combining meshes, cleaning up this shader-level flight sim effect, and doing some manual culling since Unity's occlusion culling isn't cooperating. #indiegame

Order up! The second development snapshot for #GodotEngine 4.7 is served! 🍲 Copy/paste support for section/category properties, 64-bit WebAssembly, Apple HDR support, and more are ready for testing; get it while it's hot! godotengine.org/article/dev-...

To anyone who's used func_godot/Qodot in their game, how does it compare to building levels in blender or in another tool? Would you recommend it? #gamedev #godot

new #voidsprite monthly build is up, along with this month's devlog: cntrpl.itch.io/voidsprite/d... #pixelart #indiedev

if you feel intimidated by coding in game development, remember that terraria and undertale - two of the highest rated & most popular games of the modern era - are both very much spaghetti code yet still work extremely well.

#IndieDevs - How do y'all stay motivated? After a rough week at the day job it's a struggle to lock in over the weekend and progress on our game. Any tips? I tried making a list but find myself staring at it 😓

Alright, I'll say it. I like Be Born. It's not my favorite, but it's enjoyable. #tallyhall

I see a lot of people say blender is hard to learn. Especially, I hear people say it has too many keyboard shortcuts. You guys know all this stuff is in the menus, too, right? And there's a search feature? Does Maya not have keybinds?

I never thought I'd spend so much effort trying *not* to work on my game. I would love nothing more than to spend the next 24 hours tweaking numbers in source_control, but if I ever want this to be playable I really need to get some character designs done.

I've made an open source tool for #godot that allows you to create parametric CSGPolygon3Ds for rapid prototyping! Supports: Box Cylinder Staircase Ramp you can find the plugin on codeberg :) codeberg.org/venitstudios... #gamedev #indiedev
