Upgraded to #godotengine 4.6. today. Literally unusable! (but seriously, great work on the theme changes)

I’m at that stage of the project where every time I boot it up I change the UI colours. @godotengine.org #indiegames #gamedev

Some quick and dirty footage of #ERROR_PROTOCOL. @godotengine.org #indiegames #gamedev

It's been a fun distration messing about with the Robotron sprites but it's time to get serious now! #ERROR_PROTOCOL @godotengine.org #gamedev #indiegames

Very slowly, I feel it's starting to come together. Little by little. #ERROR_PROTOCOL @godotengine.org #indiegames #indiedev

Fixed a big perf issue in #ERROR_PROTOCOL today by switching @godotengine.org’s physics engine to #joltphysics. There seems to be some problem with continuous collisions but I think that’s fixable by tweaking some of the Jolt options. #indiegames #gamedev

SKATE STORY ON MONDAY

Debugging Transforms #ERROR_PROTOCOL #indiegames #gamedev @godotengine.org

Anyone know how to create ASCII art diagrams for code comments - I'm trying to describe operations like this... Any ideas? Is there a tool for drawing lines in stuff? @lorenschmidt.bsky.social maybe? You always have great comments 🤔

Lots of 3D maths in #ERROR_PROTOCOL. Having dynamic ‘Up’ certainly makes things interesting. #indiegames #gamedev @godotengine.org

"Save the cheerleader, save the world!" #indiegames #gamedev @godotengine.org

"They're coming outta the goddamn walls!" A simple enemy steering behaviour has the enemies homing towards the player given some target radius. #indiegames #gamedev #screenshotsaturday @godotgameengine.bsky.social

Installed Rider on my home PC. I’ve dabbled occasionally at work but never stuck with it. But after watching this @godotengine.org talk at Godot Fest thought I’d give it another go. m.youtube.com/watch?v=pVLz...

#ERROR_PROTOCOL progress. Dynamic gravity system is in! #indiegames #gamedev @godotengine.org

This is Sektori! A twin-stick shooter I've been making (and documenting the journey) since April 2021. And it finally launched TODAY on Steam, PS5 and Xbox! Here's a fresh launch trailer, all shares highly appreciated. More game info in replies. #indiegame #ps5 #xbox #steam #indiedev #gamedev

3D Ultratron! Shhh, don't tell Cas 😜 #gamedev #indiegames #puppygames @godotengine.org

Progress is mainly refractoring junk code, moving stuff around to sensible locations and my favourite, deleting stuff :-) The idea rattling round in my head is Robotron meets Ancipital. #gamedev #indiegames @godotgameengine.bsky.social

Working on the entities. SPLEENWEEVIL contains a bunch of hacky, quickly thrown together, 'my first Godot project' code. And I've been fighting Godot since the beginning, trying to remain out of the editor and in Visual Studio as much as possible... #gamedev #indiegames @godotengine.org

Time to #PitchYaGame Dash through chaos, dodge danger, and deliver packages fast. It's Paperboy meets Crazy Taxi! You can wishlist Tossdown on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/3241560/... Please ❤️ & 🔁 :) #gamedev #indiedev

Mesh pixel shatter in action #indiegames #gamedev

Do we want rooms or open landscapes 🤔 #gamedev #indiegames #screenshotsaturday @godotengine.org #retro #robotron

Tanks and Hulks #gamedev #indiegames #wip @godotengine.org

What's occurring? #gamedev #indiegames #robotron #retro @godotengine.org

We are very excited to announce: HYPERBEAT releases October 22nd!

SKATE STORY DECEMBER 8 PS5 | SWITCH 2 | PC 🔥🔥🔥 🛹 🔥🔥🔥 PLAY THE DEMO ON STEAM store.steampowered.com/app/1263240/...

Some random screenshots of not much progress on #ERROR_PROTOCOL 🙃 #indiegames #gamedev @godotengine.org

Both my indie games are in a HUGE sale & you can get them bundled for £4.04 Or $5.44 One is a fast paced boomer shooter with metroidvania tendencies,the other a vaporwave flavoured lo-fi take on pinball Get them & support your local indie developer store.steampowered.com/app/2465930/...

Great news, demons made of glass. @skatestory.com is grinding onto Nintendo Switch 2 when it launches later this year!

Welcome to Basingstoke, a tense roguelike that mixes stealth and arcade action. Scavenge as you go and craft equipment to help you in your mission. Welcome to Basingstoke - out now on PS5! thalamus.link/basingstoke #welcometobasingstoke #playstation5 #ps5 #indiegames #indiedev

If anyone in the universe is out there that uses things like mixamo, I would love some feedback on this new open source project I have been working on built with #threejs mesh2motion.org

For a bit of research, installed latest Unreal 5 and Unity 6 FPS starter kit in Unreal, really terrible perf for me. Tragically slow load times. Unity, initial install failed validation. FPS sample, crashed first time loading. Created a VFX graph. The gradient colour picker just keeps disappearing

Doing bits on #ERROR_PROTOCOL over the weekend. *Slowly* morphing from SPLEENWEEVIL into it's own thing. I wonder if I'll sort out all the // TODO, // HACK and // FIXME @godotengine.org #gamedev #indiegames

Writing your own 'engine' is a ton of work. I love the gameplay code but collisions, physics, rendering is such a time sink! I'm going to pivot to @godotengine.org again for the new thing. #ERROR_PROTOCOL is going to be an FPS, building on what I learnt writing #SPLEENWEEVIL #indiegames #gamedev

Particles!

Metal Eden is OUT today!!! 🎉 I did the music, implementation, audio direction & VO. Huge thanks to @reikon-games.bsky.social for trust. Honored to share the soundtrack with @sonicmayhem.com 🤘

Don't smash stuff up for a laugh. It's not cool. #screenshotsaturday

Progress on the game. The start of a GPU particle system. #indiegame #gamedev #particles

No matter how many times I try to turn off this Microsoft AI nonsense, they always find new ways to annoy me. I just want to type some words and occasionally browse the API using good old fashioned intellisense. Don't clutter my doc, don't capture keystrokes, just display the text FFS 🤬

Started the particle system. I'm hoping I can do 99% of it all on the GPU, pretty much compute all the way. We have a few effects here (1) hit sparks (2) muzzle flash, which contains a couple of emitters currently. Excuse the programmer art :-) #indiegames #gamedev #gpuparticles

Those 🇬🇧 Public Information Films hit hard! After a spate of fire extinguisher tomfoolery, Basingstoke Police comissioned this one. Do you know why you shouldn't muck about with fire extinguishers? puppygames.net/basingstoke 🧯 #Basingstoke #PlayStation5 🔥 #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGames #IndieDev

Progress on the new thing. #indiedev #gamedev #moonworks #csharp

@puppygames.bsky.social love that I can still play rounds of Ultratron a dozen years later but now outside on the deck.

You can now blow things up! #MoonWorks #ECS #SDLGPU #GameDev #IndieGames

Are you worried about the Future, Today? Don't PANIC!!! We've done some Science, so everything will be just fine, as long as you wishlist Welcome to Basingstoke for the PlayStation 5 at thalamus.link/basingstoke 🇬🇧 #Basingstoke 🌶️ #PlayStation #PlayStation5 🥙 #IndieDev #screenshotsaturday 💀
