And here she is again, but without the CRT filtering! #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #oc (it feels really weird using that last hashtag but...yeah, I guess this is my first ever OC?! If only Baby Clara knew what she'd be doing in a few years...)

I've had to keep most of my top-secret #NovaSquadron work under wraps for the last few months, but I can finally start declassifying some of it now that we have...pixel art?! Introducing the first member of Nova Squadron, callsign Fenrir. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I have somehow managed to scope-creep my silly aeroplane game into a situation where I (software engineer with no drawing background) need to learn anatomy. Not sure how I did that. 0/10. Do not recommend.

I genuinely do not know where the public perspective of #NovaSquadron as the gayest flightcade game of all time came from. 0.4.1 has, like, three characters, and they only talk about mission objectives. At this point I'm just going along with it #gamedev #indiedev

Made the clouds a little nicer to fly through #gamedev #flightsim

Indie Highlight Series 005 is out now! Interviews with the developers creating Delivery Must Complete and Zakon discuss their thoughts on development and what they want their games to be upon full release. #indiegame #indiedev #flightsim

Very fun flight-action indie game, if you're interested in that, please try it!

I can't believe I'm actually finally saying this but... we have a Discord server now! If you're interested, here's the invite: discord.gg/YVdeju6zEw and if you have any friends who might be interested, please spread the word - let's get this community started! #gamedev #indiedev

No fuel left on the open sea and no paddles in sight! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

We’re all going on holiday to Mercury, it’s gonna be great! Still won’t be warm enough for Storm Chaser somehow though

what could it mean

Dogfighting in the procedurally generated mesa (wishlist the game in pinned) #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #DeliveryMustComplete

Taking a break from all the top-secret #NovaSquadron stuff I can't show you, to do something I can - the background hexagons now glow around your cursor, and sweep across the screen from different directions! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Dogfighting around massive bloody pillars, dont ask why (it was a cool idea ok) (wishlist the game in pinned) #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #DeliveryMustComplete

Great news! I love checking out new demos. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1826830 #gamedev #indiedev #steamdemo #freetoplay #newgame

There's a bunch on my wishlist. If I've missed any, let me know! store.steampowered.com/app/3911300/... store.steampowered.com/app/3437690/... store.steampowered.com/app/2186440/ store.steampowered.com/app/2186420/... store.steampowered.com/app/1826830/... store.steampowered.com/app/1602340/...

There's a whole bunch of indie Ace Combats on the horizon and somehow they all look equally great.

So I made a promise to a couple of people in the Discord server for @yoyoyollie.bsky.social's #DeliveryMustComplete. The promise was that this weekend, I'd put a hat on a plane (long story) so here you go. Plane in a hat. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #NovaSquadron

We've just released the #NovaSquadron 0.4.1 hotfix, updating to that Unity patch you may have heard about recently. We also managed to fit in some controller support improvements - if you've had problems before, please give this a try! #gamedev #indiedev store.steampowered.com/news/app/182...

hey is it me or does the main menu look different now #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #NovaSquadron

I was practically kissing the ocean at the end there how did I not crash oh lord (Wishlist the game in pinned) #gamedev #indiedev #DeliveryMustComplete

Thunder Helix is on sale ! Grab your copy here: store.steampowered.com/app/1906230/... #gamedev #solodev #lowpoly #flightsim #steam 🐪 🚁

See those dossier and message buttons? Yeah that’s where I live

For those people who asked for a PARRY, fine. You win. (wishlist the game in pinned) #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #DeliveryMustComplete

A new button coming to #NovaSquadron 's main menu lets you boot up your in-universe PC (this'll make sense in a few months, trust me!) Your desktop looks like this by default. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Entry 004 of the Indie Highlight Series is out now! The devs behind two exciting flight arcade games discuss their in-development projects and give us a lot of exclusive insights! #indiegame #indiedev #flightsim

Grappling hooks belong in EVERY game even on planes #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

here's a completely normal behind-the-scenes for you: The in-game render (bottom-left) is showing the contents of the scene directly above it. These two things are the same, just from different viewpoints. Game dev. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #NovaSquadron

meanwhile, in the #NovaSquadron writing room with @crowwmonarch.bsky.social

sometimes you just say a whole load of words and all of a sudden you've accidentally named a game wild how things work out sometimes go wishlist delivery must complete

Games called DELIVERY MUST COMPLETE now #gamedev #indiedev

Shoot 'em up #indiegame #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

it costs $0.00 to support a full-time indie dev team 🥹

So I have good news and bad news for cockpit view enjoyers: The good news is that it will be coming to the game and I have some pretty cool plans for the HUD! The bad news is that it’s scheduled for 0.7.0, and 0.4.0 only released 2 months ago.

#NovaSquadron is (sort of) working again! Not much in the way of graphical improvements yet, but it is currently running at 20% higher FPS than 0.4.0. In other words, regular missions are finally locked at 60FPS on Steam Deck! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

In Nova Squadron, a Valkyrie calls in fire support on a supply base. Even in the atmosphere of Jupiter in the year 2283, long-range bombardment continues to be an overwhelming asset. #indiegame #flightsim #NovaSquadron @claradoth.bsky.social

recovering from being very depressed these last few weeks, so progress has been slow (also working on stuff I can't show yet) So here's an art repost from ABYSS X ZERO, with a few adjustments on models + animations since last time! Music by @ironfairy.bsky.social #gamedev #indiegame #lowpoly #axz

The sun's rising for the first time over a completely new graphics system: Unity 2020.3 -> Unity 6.2 HD Render Pipeline -> Universal Render Pipeline This is still a VERY early work-in-progress, but at least it's not flat magenta any more! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #NovaSquadron

I art directed and did graphics on this game. I promise it's something special

It's been a while. Glad to be announcing a new game, and happy that it is something experimental and weird: a tiny, tense, turn-based strategy game about merging units into spectacular combinations, and then watching them evaporate thousands of bugs. store.steampowered.com/app/2396130/...

The Mana Gem spell summons a shimmering crystal, which gains power every time a spell is cast. After three turns, it detonates, damaging everything nearby with its accumulated energy. Don't stand too close! #indiedev #indiegame

Thunder Helix 0.626(a) is now live on the 'preview/beta' branch [added] APC vehicle. Find some in the free-flight map. [fixed] Mis-aligned zoom buttons on the map screen. #flightsim #lowpoly #gamedev #solodev 🚁

Working on different models/animations for item chests in ABYSS X ZERO, to better suit the context of what you'll find inside and the level they are in. (yes, even the last one is an item chest, technically) Now we just need a proper item collect jingle... #gamedev #lowpoly #madewithunity #axz

Enemy AA guns and SAMs can pose a pretty dangerous threat to the Valkyrie, since it's not exactly what you'd call "agile". Fortunately, the Hydra Missile allows you to soften up an enemy target from well out of retaliation range. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

The Valkyrie in Nova Squadron is an attacker all-star. Capable of even dismantling formations of warships, it is equally effective in... street to street combat? Avoid getting out flanked by flying away. #NovaSquadron #indiegame #flightsim

I haven't posted much since 0.4.0 released, and I wanted to show you why: I've ripped out and am now replacing #NovaSquadron 's entire rendering pipeline. All the graphics code. So here's a #screenshotsaturday of how gorgeous the game currently looks: #gamedev #indiedev
