Reward for surviving the demo levels will be some sports ⚽ #oloo #gamedev #indiedev

Why this bug look so good? Expected behavior was a hit :D #oloo #gamedev #indiedev

New teaser! #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Did some improvements to the dash, it was overlooked for a long time. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Get in the mech.. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Not every canon shooting at you #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Surfing 🌊 #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

I hope you enjoy it, and I hope you'll take some time to write an honest review. And if you've got any questions or feedback you'd like to get to me more directly, there's always the Discord server (links below). store.steampowered.com/app/2819920/...

Added double jump and dash ✨ #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

I swear most of my work right now is playing with parameters or adding new ones 😵‍💫 But now I can bully some boxes. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Alright finally done with the new character controller. Now I can control how sticky character is or how big it is. Now back to mechanics and level design 🙈 #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Ok, feel confident enough in this approach. Now need a lot of polishing of controls, visuals plus need to return back my old mechanics. PS: tiny guy is pretty cute, extra points #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

It’s actually getting somewhere, I can now make movement more platformer predictable, even if it’s controlled by physics, since there is less things to care about. But now I need to figure out how to hook the view properly again. Anyway, quite exciting.

Back to the roots. If I will manage to pool this new attempt of simulating character with the same movement feel. It would be more stable and also open up some new gameplay mechanic options. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

My friends released their first game! One day I hope to be there too. #indiedev #gamedev #voidsails store.steampowered.com/app/3367690/...

Mine would be this:

Struggling lately to progress on the game, I do small things but not any close to last month results. Need to to find a way to organise myself better :d I know that part of it is that having full time job eats a lot of energy but I’m still upset for losing drive I had :/

Ok, last thing I needed for the new level, time for some graphics #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Found new job, installed monster hunter. Dark times for Oloo, dark times.

Still need polish and actual assets, but we all know where this mechanic is going and what game it references :D #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Took me way longer than I wanted to, but now I have a swing rope. Need to add few more features to it when time comes but for now it's good #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Back to new mechanics. Now I have manual/auto navigation by spline. Next need to make swing rope. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

🚨ANNOUNCING🚨TANUKI: Pon's Summer coming to GAME PASS later this year! As Pon, spend a summer in a beautiful Japanese town delivering packages in RADICAL-BMX-STYLE to earn enough cash to fix up the local shrine⛩️ Check out our BRAND-NEW TRAILER & wishlist today!🦝 www.youtube.com/watch?v=rBu9...

“You crashed into an unknown asteroid belt. Explore this alien world, leap between asteroids and find a way to repair your spaceship.” Demo out on Itch and (soon) Steam gtibo.itch.io/wild-cosmos s.team/a/3051070 #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #godotengine

Testing some ideas, now you can get short speed boost on smash. And float in the air on jump. Still not sold on floating, need to play with it more, mb gonna have separate controls than replacing smashing on jump in the air. #indiedev #gamedev #oloo

Finally able to announce the game I was working on in my free time! Here is the trailer and link to the demo: www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrM0... Demo: shidonski.itch.io/oloo Enjoy and leave the comments c: #indiedev #gamedev #oloo #blob

Light do make this scene look more dramatic :o #indiedev #gamedev #oloo #blob

Realized that some of my levels looks like sci-fi rifles :D

Continuing adding GI to the levels, from one side it adds to the game. But making it so hard to design levels, since I’m trying to keep unlit vanilla version also available through settings in case of performance issue. Questioning my decisions here :d

Getting somewhere, even without the light, I would go with this style now, fun not to know anything about good art direction and just figuring out what you like on coincidence :D #indiedev #gamedev #oloo #blob

Finally decided on the name. The game is called Oloo. What it means? Who knows, but sounds fitting :D #indiedev #gamedev #oloo #blob

Ok did a small test of GI, it looks nice, but too much work to include and optimise, gonna leave it for now. #indiedev #gamedev #blob

Now I need to make it work faster and less discrete. Big thanks to @yaazarai for info and examples.

Something new is cooking 👀 Hopefully I will have enough brain cells to finish what I do.

Made a little repo with some tech I did for my game. It will need more polishing later but it's good for now. #indiedev #gamedev github.com/ShidoArima/w...

This weekend spent on optimisations. Did ropes just by GPU with no cpu/gpu data transfer after initialization. And removed some old spline package I had, which was really inefficient. Regular splines plus custom render works better. Those two things helped enough!

rip little guy 🥲 #gamedev #indiedev #blob

new friend? #indiedev #gamedev #blob

2 days game jam ended, was quite a ride in a good and bad ways. But overall it was nice to see players reaction during playtest. Not optimized, code is total mess, might not even run for everyone, but it's here 🫡 shidonski.itch.io/glass-forger #gamejam #ggj2025

Oh well, participating in game jam, and want to work on two ideas at once 🫠 I guess will try to iterate another one after, if I still have motivation. Not like I have anything else important to finish 🙄

Done, it's not real collision, just reusing wind and player displacement I had already. Works pretty good for me. #indiedev #gamedev #blob

Spending too much time on the things that not gonna change experience really, want to put random cables and ropes that will move when player pass by, which I did by scripting, but I want to migrate it to compute shaders, since I already have wind and player displacement in textures.

Not sure about keeping it, just wanted to have some fun plus ended up with reference to Balatro background. Also did the same mistake again by omitting custom time wrapper from the start and ending up replacing to many references of Time.deltaTime ;d #indiedev #gamedev #blob

Screens transition in progress #indiedev #gamedev #blob

Sometimes you need to remind yourself of things that must be done 😭 #indiedev #gamedev #blob #blob_is_not_the_name

The bare minimum of sound effects are added. Would need to find better audio sources later. #gamedev #indiedev #blob

Didn’t post anything bc ended up in a journey of sound design 🌚 Quite unpleasant, but slapping full version of FMOD smoothed the experience.

Random experiment ended up in ears and tail 🐰 #gamedev #indiedev #blob

When you take the damage, one good thing from it you can see some fun liquid wobble 💦 #gamedev #indiedev #blob

Wasn’t happy with the style I had, would require much more time and potentially skills than I have have it where I want, so went simpler and more consistent, easier to control. At least I hope #blob #gamedev #indiedev
