Working on a level layout. Trying to find a balance of it being somewhat linear, but still give fun lines to choose from.

One for the low poly fans.

Style test for more N64 like level and assets. Heavy inspiration from 1080 Snowboarding. #lowpoly #indiedev

Here's some of the moves Twinkle can chain together! 👽💚 #lowpoly #gamedev #indiedev

Playing around with the idea of giving it more of an N64 look. Super blocky terrain, strong fog, very low poly assets. Need to look more into vertex painting. But, the biggest thing so far was to get a terrain with offset for the powder going.

AI used to be fun and create some wild stuff. Now it’s just lame corporate bs. What a sellout. (This was some years ago. I had a good giggle at how bad it was back then. At least it was fun to see it fail)

I wanted to recreate that effect from snowboarding magazines, where they had the whole trick sequence in one image. It was surprisingly simple to do.

I'm releasing my first PC game on Monday. 🤩 And I'm sick 🤢 Hopefully I'll recover and be able to celebrate with everyone who's excited for my ultimate Christmas game! store.steampowered.com/app/3030650/... #indiedev #indiegames #cozygames #wholesome #christmas #digitalart #november

Fun run 🏂🗻

Maybe give a little back—if you can ofc. Blender starting being much more user friendly a few years ago has opened up so many new things for me.

Blender is struggling. it's the best piece of 3d software on the market, and it's free. I'm not going back to autodesk. please donate if you can! fund.blender.org

Started playing Luigis Mansion on switch (the GC one). Despite some of the old game weirdness, it’s really cool. Love how every room is it’s own little puzzle so far. (I‘m not really into the 3d mario games, so a lot to catch up to)

I was unhappy that in my ragdoll the feet would not stick to the snowboard. While trying to fix that, I made the worlds most complicated ragdoll controller. Was able to delete a lot of it, once I figured out what the real issue was. Now it’s just some clipping errors left to fix.

Shattered! 💥 #b3d #indiedev #indiegame

I finally found what was causing an error with my rail system that eluded me for the longest time. Was looking in all the wrong places for it 🙈

Some new UI mockups #indiegame #indiedev

Still a bit wobbly, but I like where it’s going. Using animation rigging to separately move lower and upper body so the mech orientates towards where it aimes and moves. Fewer animation clips to stay on top of.

I finally might be settling on a theme/setting.

Adding some animations. It looks more robotik with less fluid animations, I think.

The ancient bounce ritual when rigging.

And with animations. Some DOF also helps.

I don’t have much experience with mech design. Exaggerating proportins helped to make it look less like a person in a suit and subdivsion surface to enhance the effect. But, I started building it around a human mesh, so it’s kinda baked in.

Been playing Hades 2 lots lately and love that they doubled down on the absurdity of the final weapon from the first one. Wanted to see if I can make a similar little pew-pew-mech. Still a little too humanoid for the scale and I just took a bunch of mixamo animations for the test.

Didn’t touch a basketball in over a decade. Bought one at the store today and found a nice little court just where I live and went to shoot some hoops. Can’t say I hit a lot of them, but it was fun.

Would love to revisit this one day. The car physics and car AI became frustrating at some point. I still think the style is nice.

I wanted to revisit this shader and make it look nicer. The old version had all these extra lines that came from changes in the normals. Now I use vertex colors to force the normals so I can control which faces should form an area that does not get broken up.

Because I‘m lazy, I usually just turn the time scale to 0 for pausing. Today I changed some things how my game states work and used the opportunity to add an actual pause function. Was easiert than expected and gives some nice subtile movement in the background when paused.

Prototype for a little feature inspired by Kelly Slater‘s Pro Surfer (best combo system ever). When you do tricks without crashing, you get into a flow state where you can spin faster. Could be nice for micro progression inside a level.

The Rogue can use their bow and arrow more and move a little more agile.

Added a little class selection screen, traps and reworked a few things so I can build for WebGL, which I think would be a good environment for this one.

Looking to pick up a bit more work—if you're looking for stylistic, atmospheric art direction I'd be happy to chat!

Made some good progress today. Cleaned up some code and added a simple progression and shop system. You can heal and buy stats or new cards now. Next is to add some more layouts and try to come up with more interesting things to do. Maybe traps or something like that.

Bombs 💣💥

Made a little chess thingy. ⚔️🏁 (In my quest of making something super simple, so there‘s a chance it will become a game at some point in time)

Finally figured out how to use Physics.Simulate to predict where my character will land so I can make some calculations ahead of time.

This is a great trip so far. Ended up in this lovely village for the night, where locals had a super cute event where you could taste 200 types of tomatos and take home seeds to grow them yourself.

Bike trip!

Fall is about to start when this prototype goes up in the project list. 👻

Wasn’t the biggest fan of Andor S1. But, S2 … so good. Pre WW2 italy star wars? … with the speeder bike vespa? Hell yes 🙌

So everyone is a logo design expert this week. Fun.

I really wanted to make this to celebrate my 6 Years of Solo-dev! 🌟 I am thinking about maybe making some devlogs. Tell me if you have questions you would like to know: Please ask it in comments! 🌸 #gamedev #indiegame

Barnstorming

Removed a few polys. Still some wiggle room left, if I move some of the colored faces to the texture. #wireframewednesday

Is soneone living here? 🐽
