Sharing some more Streamer and Shonimal character design for the test level I'm working on. PS I finally started the Steam Page creation process... working on getting a simple playlets demo done by the end of the year... 🤞🤞🤞 #conceptart #characterdesign #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #solodev

In between taking my daughter to see the Gabby’s Doll House movie and other kids’ activities, I’ve been designing up some opponent Streamers (name tbd) for the test level. What should her and her bebe crow’s name be? #characterdesign #gamdev #indiegamedev #indiegames #sologamedev #creaturedesign

Alright here's the better version. Movement is almost there. Just need to animate the hand poses. #unrealengine #animation #gamedev #glitch #indiegames #indiegamedev #solodev #indiedev

Wanna see a cool trick? And trick I mean glitch! 😂 Working on refining animation today and turning the player character into origami. #unrealengine #animation #gamedev #glitch #indiegames #indiegamedev #solodev #indiedev

Loona is now in the game! Going to use her as a stand in for the player character for now. Character customisation will come one day, but it's low priority at the moment. Going to start designing some other coaches for the test level. #unrealengine #indiegames #gamedev #indiegamedev

Exploring Cascaduer for creating animations today. It has been saving a ton of time in fussy tweeting stage. #animation #cascadeur #indiegame #indiegamedev #gamedev #sologamedev #3danimation

Working on wayfinding today. Who needs a pole when you have a perfectly good dead tree? Inspired by the cottage road signs of back country lake roads. #indiegame #gamedev #unrealengine #solodev #indiegamedev

Sharing a quick site plan sketch where I loosely plan out the pathing and interest points in the level. #indiegames #indiegamdev #unrealengine #solodev #gamedev #leveldesign

Sculpting out the landscape and doing some performance testing the next few days (kinda obsessed with PCG...). #unrealengine #gamedev #solodev #indiegamedev #indiegame #indiegames #environmenntdesign

With basic game programming done, I'm building up the environments again. Doing some testing to make sure the foliage shaders plays nice with the weather system. #indiedev #sologamedev #unrealengine #shonimals

Made myself a cel-shader as a little treat. #unrealengine #gamedev #solodev #indiedev

The skeleton of the Showdown System is done! It now works with wild packs and other coaches. It's pretty bare bones at the moment, but now that the turn orders have been ironed out I can start adding all the other ingredients. #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #unrealengine

Almost through the meat and potatoes of the battle system. Wild battles are done just adding some finishing touches to the coach v coach battles. 🥰 Can’t wait to start on some of the showier elements of the game so I can share!

Very much in the build it and make it pretty later stage. Proud to have rebuilt the battle system to work with multiple ShoNiMals showdowns in the wild. Nothing too fancy to see right now. Just getting those core turn mechanics in place and ironed out. #indiedev #solodev #unrealengine

🦦 Hey #PitchYaGame ! 🐾 Dive into the world of ShoNiMals—a creature-capture game in early development! Assemble a unique team and unleash their natural abilities in artistic displays in turn-based Sho-downs!

Hey Bluesky it’s been a while. I’ve just been optimizing some code and shaders (and enjoying the short Canadian Summer… ) so I haven’t had much to show the past couple of weeks. Just got a better refined movement Ai running now. Still have to rebuild my test level and polish the weather system.

Spent the day setting up ShoNiMal Packs and programming their movement AI so that they don’t stray too far away from each other. #unrealengine #creaturecollector #monstertamer #indiedev #solodev #videogame

People are saying that the Bluesky servers are crashing this morning because they cannot process this video of Mark Carney dancing to Down With Webster.
