Fixed up the lasers that have been sitting around for too long now, and gave them static and lite tracking behaviors. #gamedev #indiedev

Gave my new Shift mechanic some SFX and visuals when activated! #gamedev #indiedev

Been working on iterating combat design. Some of that work can't be parsed here but it's slowly coming together more :) #gamedev #indiedev

In honor of the blood moon eclipse, I made a lighting mode for my game! #gamedev #indiedev

Some enemies will shoot back, so the player can wear armor when needed to take an extra bullet or two. Just mind the extra weight. #gamedev #indiedev

Over the past week I’ve been resurrecting a game prototype from 2021. Really like how it’s coming out this time with how much I’ve learned. #gamedev #indiedev

Check out the timestamp -- over 16 minutes of 15 second mini trailers so far! This is shaping up to be quite a showcase already! If you submitted, check the submission page to see if your game is in there and let me know if it's not!

Been iterating on making enemies populate and patrol ahead of you and attacking when you get closer; along with fixing enemy behavior oversights, it's a step up! #ue5 #gamedev

You can now hear some wind while you fling yourself around the world! #ue5 #gamedev

Projectile bursts now lead their aim better and start faster. #ue5 #gamedev

Portals have been a sweet addition to my game. (Forerunnerx - Contempt) #ue5 #gamedev

Finally fixed the viewmodel visual while grappling. Wallruns and sliding got some needed attention too. #ue5 #gamedev

Luckily the game aims for you a little bit (Forerunnerx - Contempt) #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

Improved my aim nudging code a bit - basically bends bullets to help you hit targets if your aim is close enough, especially on wallruns! It is adjustable per shot profile, and I've exaggerated the values a bit for this clip. #gamedev #indiedev

Redoing tutorialization and adjusting systems accordingly. It'll probably change a bit more but - Triggers prompt to open a Tutorial window with a bit of information on mechanics in context. The prompt can be ignored, but I might do a first-time force for new players. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

Feelin preeeetty pleased with how my game looks. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

#ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

Been doing level design lately. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

Hey Bluesky, I’m currently building my game LUCID in the Godot Engine. Can’t wait to share more, hope you enjoy! #Godot #GodotEngine #Gamedev

Updated enemy animations and visuals. Lots of work lately in improving enemy behavior too. #gamedev #indiedev

New replayable Totem challenge arena (waves escalate), grapple points display distance to interact, pickups display cooldown, jump restores for free midair jumps, AI fixes... And I'm experimenting with a cybersword energy slash. #ue5 #gamedev #indiedev

Wallrunning now checks above and below the player to keep you roughly centered on the wall, making this platforming segment feel much smoother than it would otherwise! #gamedev #indiedev

Shifted more towards my palette. #gamedev #indiedev

Ocean floor vibes #gamedev #indiedev

Been a little more detail oriented lately. Besides extra visual touches, grapple points have cooldowns and line of sight breaks now. #gamedev #indiedev

Enemies now have appear and dissolve FX, and a bit of delay when spawning in. #gamedev #indiedev

Movement got a bit more refinement this weekend. Got rid of some long standing sore spots. #gamedev #indiedev

Experimenting with additional grapple targets. The Barrier ability's grapple is automatic if you're looking at it. All of these grapple points have lower range than default. #gamedev #indiedev

One day, these models are due for upgrades. For now, this is a pretty sweet shot. #gamedev #indiedev

Voidborn 1.0 April 4th Music by @stillcrisp.bsky.social

FPS FANS: every week we like to highlight a new game - like Neon Rain, which has been cookin some colorful stuff! FPS DEVS: what have you been up to this week? show off your work!

Enemy projectiles are getting better at zoning the player. Can't pass through them all, you'll have to weave around. #gamedev #indiedev

Care to try lethal projectiles? Death by a thousand cuts? I implemented some non-controversial sliders to try out some twists on game rules! #gamedev #indiedev

I started biting off maybe a bit too much for my project. I mean I knew that, but it actively hampered my mental with continuing on. Not tossing any work away, but I had to dial back some elements and I’ll probably remake a few areas in my level. Dev is uh, a really challenging marathon.

There are several hundred games, art projects, and other creative endeavours in this thread. Take a look, like your favorites, follow the creators - whatever helps helps in these weird times.

A handful of misc character sketches from the last little while ✨

It's been a while since I've done this, and the world is bleak - so we can all use a little art & creativity. What is everyone creating nowadays? Games, art, music, video, writing, anything - whether it is early, almost done, or just shipped. Feel free to include trailers, images, links - whatever.

Audio pass today. And you can spot some fun new stuff going on. Drop me a wishlist if you haven't already? :) store.steampowered.com/app/2408640/... #gamedev #indiedev
