Sometimes I lose track of time and just chill out exploring the planet in PlanetSmith... #indiedev #indiegame #chill

It's been so cool getting the clouds into PlanetSmith, it completely changes the feel of exploring! #indiedev #indiegame #playtest

We've put out a new mini devlog! We changed one line of code and got a massive performance boost, and we wanted to talk about how + why this works! #indiegame #indiedev #optimisation

I'm really liking how the sun looks when it pokes out from behind the clouds, it's very dramatic. I have to make sure these don't cause any lag though! #indiedev #indiegame

Finally putting clouds in the game, what do you think? #indiedev #indiegame

We're excited to announce that we'll be at PAX Australia! If you're going to PAX and you're a content creator, we'd love to catch up with you to talk PlanetSmith! PAX Australia is on 10th-12th October. We hope to see you there! #indiegame #indiedev #PAXAus

Here we have them, the cutest of our new mobs... Baby Emus! #indiedev #devlog #npcs #games

Just added the second cutest of our new mobs into the game. You can find frogs around wetlands and forests now! #indiedev #devlog #npcs #games

Now you can find emus in arid locations on your planets! #indiedev #devlog #npcs #games

Got those new mobs into the game, so now you can find Hyena's around the desert biomes... #indiedev #devlog #npcs #games

working on some hexel physics and I ran into this bug... or is it a feature? #indiedev #gamedev #beyblade #letitrip

We have another potentially hostile mob for you to encounter on our earth-like planet! The Hyena! #indiegame #indiedev #lowpoly

Our latest PlanetSmith devlog is LIVE NOW! We're talking about adding behaviours to our AI systems, starting with vision and an aggro system for the bears! #indiedev #devlog please share! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ylc1...

Adding to our new mobs, we have this cute little frog to add to a few of our biomes 🥰 #indiedev #indiegame #lowpoly

Post-playtest we've started making some new mobs to fill out our worldwide biomes... starting with emus! #indiegame #indiedev #lowpoly

We're deep in the weeds of development on PlanetSmith so we can bring another playtest to you later in the year! In the meantime, have you checked out our Devlog? 17 episodes (and counting!) of PlanetSmith goodness! www.youtube.com/channel/UCzj... #indiegame #indiedev #devlog

I have been CORRECTED, this amazing build by Nogmonster is actually of the Arecibo Observatory!! #indiedev #indiegame #playtest

Look at this absolutely STUNNING creation by Nogmonster, a member of our community. They spend almost all of their time in the playtest (20+ hours) building this incredible satellite dish scene. Amazing work! #indiedev #gaming #playtest

Community member Colorful spent most of their time in the survival mode playtest building a massive bridge! Very impressive work #indiedev #gaming #playtest

Another one of our community members, Bellcarved, made this great little house in the survival playtest! #indiedev #gaming #playtest

Community member paulev made this awesome hexagonal house, surrounded by a wheat farm! #playtest #indiedev #gaming

Community member roninpawn made this really cool tower in survival mode! It must have taken quite a lot of stone mining! #indiedev #gaming #playtest

The survival playtest is over! Some members of our community made some really cool stuff during their time in the playtest. Including this awesome set of airships and a floating island that Rolphy made! #indiedev #gaming #playtest

Crazy good Dynamite a Bear speedrun on the playtest by joskcito. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QMrV...

Really pritty seed I found. This is very close to spawn, Seed is 452939916 Large world if you want to check it out for yourself. #PlanetSmith #ScreenshotSaturday #Indiedev

new feature straight out the oven: WHEAT! FOR BREAD! IT GROWS! YOU CAN FARM IN PLANETSMITH NOW!!! #indiegame #devlog #indiedev

Found this amazing bug in the Mob AI code, they always climb UP #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev

How about some LEAF DECAY! Finally implementing some progress growth and decay to some blocks. What do you think I should put in next? #indiegame #gamedev #devlog

What's that? You wanted to know if grass can grow in PlanetSmith? WELL HAVE I GOT NEWS FOR YOU! #indiedev #gamedev #devlog

Making the torches look cool took a little bit of work, but with a nice custom shader they work really well. Make sure you check out our devlog series over on our YouTube channel!

I tried spawning some deer and they decided to start swimming in the dirt??? #gamedev #indiegames #gaming #devlog

deer spa Deer Spa DEER SPA #indiegame #gaming #gamedev

We're excited to announce that the PlanetSmith Survival Playtest will be going live at 10:00AM NZT May 23rd! It'll run for three days BUT we'll be extending that timer if our community can complete some secret challenges 😉 #indiegame #devlog #playtest #games

yes the deer CAN get angry with you - be VERY CAREFUL #indiegames #gaming #bts

We heard you loud and clear, the particles of course MUST BE HEXAGONS. And they must have good lighting! #indiegame #survivalcrafting #devlog

Oh hey, what's this? A (((NEW DEVLOG))) for PlanetSmith?!?!? This one is all about getting some mob AI into the game, starting with a video all about our solutions for pathfinding on our hexagonal block planets! #indiegame #devlog

I've started adding a bit of polish to some of our features ahead of our playtest (sign up on Steam!). Here's one that has been requested hundreds of times from people in our community and video comment threads: block breaking particles!!! #devlog #gamedev #indiegame #survivalcrafting

Taking a look back at when I was working on the lighting for PlanetSmith, trying to decide what the best lighting model to use would be... www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ShI... #indiegame #gaming #gamedev #devlog

We've been working on new world generation systems for our #indiegame, so I was looking back at our lighting system. Have you seen how we did it? You can watch our devlog to find out: www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ShI... #indiegame #gaming #devlog

Have YOU signed up for the PlanetSmith playtest? In few weeks we'll be opening up Survival Mode to anyone who's registered! We're also planning some secret challenges for our community. Make sure you don't miss out by registering over on Steam!

A quick throwback to one of our old devlogs, where we were working on dynamic blocks for walls. This system is something that's still in flux, but we're really interested in giving players a lot of creative options for building! #gaming #survivalgame #indiegame

We're hard at work on our survival playtest (register on Steam!) so why don't you take a look back into our devlog archives to see how we got to this point?
