animating weapons is fun. #gamedev

Progress on my project has been a bit slow, but this week I've managed to get some parts of the UI done. #unrealengine #gamedev

Moon child fanart

Moon Child began life as an Amiga AGA title before shifting to PC, where it finally saw release in 1997. A fascinating glimpse into a project caught between two eras. More here: www.gamesthatwerent.com/2026/04/moon...

Happens to the best of us. 🌊🐸🛟 #indiedev #gamedev

peak video-game graphics

more low poly stuff, this time a mockup for an imaginary game in gba resolution (240x160px) the 3D scene is made with picocad2, 2D overlay is made with aseprite #picocad2 #aseprite #lowpoly #gamedev #pixelart

Early WIP of custom main menu for @nightdivestudios.bsky.social's remaster of #Turok. Lots to do: - Sound - Visual Feedback & Highlight - New Custom Menus - Background - Fixing up detection of selected option - Keyboard / Controller support But this will be foundational to future projects.

The cover art I did for the upcoming halo novel: Parasite’s Wake

Pennsylvania Epic Fantasy

That might be the most messed up AU of them all...

This is the only right way to spend your weekend.

You dig giant hammers! I dig giant hammers! We dig giant hammers! Chicks dig giant hammers! (Megas XLR reference)

Thunder Helix - CGA fuel truck (with automatic headlights) #gamedev #lowpoly

Almost forgot #ScreenshotSaturday, here's Boss 2's intro sequence. A small cutscene goes a long way #pixelart #godotengine

So THAT'S how it happens! If a nice lamb gets eaten by evil fleece, it becomes a possessed sheep enemy. I'm trying to brainstorm names for them all, something in the vein of "breegul" or "bob-omb". Sheep-creeps? Itchies? Still working on it. #godot #indiegamedev #indiedev #gamedev #n64 #lowpoly

I've updated my Development Essentials #gameassets pack which now includes 4×4 pixels, noise, gradients and more. The pack is (obviously) CC0 licensed and can be used by anyone for anything. Please leave feedback or ideas on what to add! 🙇‍♂️ kenney.nl/assets/devel...

Added some light and color to the entrance of our dungeon 💀 #boomershooter #retrogame #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #psx #lowpoly

Animations need clean up but I'm happy to get this into the game. Might change its visual design to textures instead of chrome-y. #Turok #indiedev #gamedev #blender

I think this draw animation is pretty fun, good weight and energy. I need to make animate-able hands for Turok 2 so I can do things like thumb the slide release (that isn't modeled yet) #Blender #Turok #gamedev #indiedev #spotlight

My boy, he has come to life. Next up is getting it in-game. Gotta love that #N64 sphere-map chrome! #Turok #Blender #Gamedev #Indiedev #modding #retro

What if #Turok had some kind of bootleg #warhammer40k bolter? #gamedev #indiedev #blender #modding

Experiment to create blended textures for #Turok using #Krita This mound of dirt uses two textures, one traditional, one as a border with alpha blending. I think it looks good and will use it on new assets going forwards. #gamedev #indiedev #modding #blender

#Cyberpunk Malorian Arms 3516 inspired magnum pistol, probably for Turok 2. Next up is texturing. I know it makes no sense but come on man I shoved a .300 Win Mag in this bad boy. Ignore that the rounds don't fit the mag... Yeah... #Blender #gamedev #indiedev #Turok #modding #gaming #retro

If you're interested in the #Atari Jaguar and its development scene, then you should check out "Monlynx" They've been putting a lot of work into a new 3D engine for the system that delivers some impressive performance Check their WIP video here: www.youtube.com/@monlynx #retro #gamedev #gaming

Another small post: Tileable ditches for #turok #mods which you could easily fill with water, lava, or whatever. Working on some lily pads too, I think they look nice so far. #gamedev #blender #indiedev

WIP tileable small creek for use in #Turok #mods. Producing 45 degree turns will be tricky, never did many tilesets before. Once complete, plans for several pond/lakes to flow into, and wider, deeper creeks, as well as decor / props. #indiedev #gamedev #blender

Small preview of new level assets for #Turok #mods I made in #Blender. The dirt patch and both kinds of mushrooms are all new. The tree is from the original game. I want to look into blending the dirt edges with alpha masking. #indiedev #gamedev #lowpoly #retro

Physics probably need some adjustment, camera punch is too strong, etc. But it feels really fun. Imagine once I add some of the fastest dinosaurs like Ornithomimosaur? Basically recreated Joust at that point. Think of the platforming! #Turok #GameDev #Modding #IndieDev

Raptor Space Program was a success.... Experiments in giving mounts the ability to jump for basic platforming. #Turok #Indiedev #Gamedev #modding #games #N64

Implemented: -First draft of Mount/Dismount logic -Damage (not shown) -Camera tilt when turning, based on mount speed. Will provide option to disable. Coming along well, and only a *little* bit of crappy code in the back-end. Imagine parking your buddy to blast bad guys once I add guns?

A thought I've had many times over the past few months in regards to programming, but I am sure applies to many other things: If what you're doing feels too hard, unreasonably complicated, you probably don't understand it fully, and probably attempting it in an over-complicated way.

Good Progress: -Turn animations when still -Procedural body/neck anim when moving -Three speeds + idle Still need damage, death, weapon system, dismount + safety so you don't get stuck, polish for both user and back-end. But I think most hard parts are over. #Turok #indiedev #gamedev

New attempt at ridable mounts in #Turok. Lots to do: -Player damage -Mount weapons -Holster weapons if required/desired -Mount damage -Bug fixes But already feels cinematic and fun. Excited to see community maps with this once I finish it. @nightdivestudios.bsky.social #Indiedev #Modding

You'll be able to wreak maximum havoc in Blood: Refreshed Supply by quickly swapping between tools of destruction using the game's weapon selection wheel! 💥

Acquired when they purchased Activision, Microsoft have recently open sourced the venerable Zork game series under the MIT license. Full source-code for Zork 1,2 and 3 is now available on GitHub. gamefromscratch.com/microsoft-op... #gamedev #indiedev #opensource

Hey #PitchYaGame! I'm making a Quake-like retro FPS with steampunk weapons, Lovecraftian monsters, and crazy time and gravity distortions! Wishlist KOOK: store.steampowered.com/app/2329690/...

When you assault the tight twisting bowels of the Campaigner's fortress full of murderous cyborg soldiers, you can always depend on your automatic trench broom. #Turok #Modding #Indiedev #Gamedev #n64

My sheep enemy goes between idling and wandering in random directions, but whenever it leaves its home area, it'll turn back toward the center (10x speed) #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Fairly small preview for today: 3D shells for Turok. shotgun shell is a modified version of the original ammo pickup, whereas the others are new. Hopefully they fit the game's aesthetic and level of detail. Plan for these to be part of a larger modder's tool-kit. #turok #game-dev #blender

#Blender render of a WIP SMG reload for a #Turok mod. Can you believe I based part of this gun off a Thompson? #gamedev #indiedev #modding #retrogame

Simple height blend shader in godot (+zip included)

Bolt action rifle for @nightdivestudios.bsky.social's #Turok remaster. Get ready for some big game hunting. #blender #indiedev #gamedev #modding

Love the squish, super cute!

I'm quite fond of how they sound, I really like the crunchiness of the dirt. I wonder how it will all come together in the final mix? Because it sounds loud right now but I know you're just testing them out.

I also got another pre-rendered transition done! this time it's for the doors! #lowpolyart #lowpoly #ps1 #PS1Aesthetics #indiegame #blender #godot #ps1graphics #gamedev #GodotEngine #environment #gamedev #indiegamedev #psx #playstation #horror

You're nailing it so far, from the art to the audio and atmosphere. I thought this was a screenshot from one of the RE games. Really makes me want to experiment with the aesthetic myself. Any challenges or things you're most proud of?
