This isn't quite what I wanted but I think this is as close as I'm going to get. I was trying to make the eyebrows and eyes show through the hair but getting the eyes to show through and be masked by the eyelids was a bit overly complicated.

We're breaking the sound barrier. Insert sonic "you're too slow" gif #indiedev #animation #3d #screenshotsaturday

Spent a few hours throwing this together. It's always a fun challenge to make something within restrictions.

Messing around with Cinemachine cameras. The collisions work pretty well. It handles a lot pretty easily which is nice.

Here's a WIP on an attack chain animation. It's just key poses that are blending into each other for now. I decided not to do stepped this time since I find it hard to judge the timing.

Testing and iterating! Our playtest is still going! Be sure to check out the links in the comments! #screenshotsaturday #robodome #bullethell #indiegame

Potential new challenge room type we've been exploring! Also a reminder our playtest is still going! Be sure to try out the game on steam. Feedback helps us make you a better game and we really appreciate it! (Links bellow) #robodome #indiegame #bullethell #roguelike #roguelite #screenshotsaturday

We've been working on our second boss fight! Can you beat him? Give it a go in our live playtest on steam! (Link in the description) #robodome #indiegame #bullethell #roguelike #roguelite #screenshotsaturday

Guess what!? It's time! Our second playtest has begun! We hope all of you out there will enjoy the game in it's current state. You can sign up on steam and provide us with feedback on discord (links in the comments) #robodome #indiegame #bullethell #roguelike #roguelite

Only one more day! Our second open playtest will be starting September 12th! Check the comments for a steam link where you can sign up today!

Playtest coming soon! Be sure to sign up on steam, We'll be starting within a couple weeks! #WishListWednesday #indiegame #twinstickshooter #robodome

We're constantly exploring the balance of complex enemies and sheer numbers. When playing games like this, what are you looking for? More enemies but simpler AI or fewer enemies with complex interactions. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #bullethell #roguelite

In most projects you'd expect some sort of ticket system. Maybe trello, maybe Jira... but on Robo Dome, this THIS is how I get a ticket for a new art asset! 👺 #indiedev #indiegame #robodome

Did you know Robo Dome has a steam page you can wishlist and follow!? No? Well then check it out! Steam link in the comments 😏 #WishlistWednesday #Steam #indiegame #bullethell #robodome

Movin' and groovin' #gamedev #indiedev

Game dev is an iterative process! We're constantly striving to make our game better. Heads up, we'll be doin another playtest soon so keep an eye out and let us know what you'd like to see from us as we continue to build! #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #bullethell #robodome

Pew pew pew #bullethell #twinstickshooter #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #robodome

Some more UI flare! This is our out of run upgrade system. It's been fun reworking some of our interfaces. Definitely shouldn't get stuck in an update loop but it's good to do time to time. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #bullethell #screenshotsaturday

Always been a little disappointed with the vfx work I've been doing but was playing around and seeing them all together. As a whole things are starting to feel pretty neat. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #unity

Animation is hard but I'm having a great time haha. I've done simple action anims on lowpoly stuff but not a lot of acting pieces like this so I'm learning a lot. I ended up diverging a lot from the original timing I posted. Oh well haha🤷‍♂️ #screenshotsaturday #animation #gamedev

Some more additions to give Rei a little more life. We added fidgets! Who can spot the reference? 😏 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #bullethell #screenshotsaturday

Rei's updates as seen in the main menu! We did a couple UI updates as well. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #bullethell

Been doing some minor adjustments to our characters to give them more life and personality. Here's little animation test of Rei with her model updates for y'all to check out! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames #bullethell

Take 2!

working on some locomotion animations! This is one of my weaker areas so it's a bit rough but still a lot of fun to explore! If any of y'all have feedback I'd really appreciate it! #animation #gameart #3d #character

Level decorating always takes longer than you'd expect but we still have some new rooms coming together! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #bullethell

Doin some gamedev live! www.twitch.tv/stoffcreates

This isn't something we've shared much but it's pretty neat! Spent a good bit of time getting a nice clean tile-based system to build Robo Dome levels. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #bullethell #roguelike

Friday game dev vibes after a long week

Combat intro blockout time! #gamedev #animation #3d #anime

Got her animations in engine now! Modified normals seem to be holding up okay so far haha #gamedev #3d #character #cellshading #anime

Back on to shader shenanigans!

Had a blast drawing this character from RoboDome @robodome.astralcoast.com Checkout the game! Original design by @stoff.bsky.social ! Thanks @cupohjoe.bsky.social for the suggestion!

Some shots of our newly decorated levels for #screenshotsaturday ! #gamedev #indiedev #bullethell #roguelike

Streaming some gamedev over at twitch.tv/stoffcreates for a bit!

Dynamics are fun 👍

when exporting goes wrong... 🤣

First time 2d animating professionally! Made this discord frame for Palia #animation #palia #2d

Been doing a decor pass on Robo Dome. Mostly building new parts to fill out the space and break it up more #gamedev #indiedev #robodome

wanted to share a full turn around too #gamedev #indiedev #lowpoly

Some updates on Gadget from today!

Doin a little gamedev on stream today! Updating a character model! www.twitch.tv/StoffCreates

I made a thing today! @stoff.bsky.social Nerd-Sniped me this morning with a shader quandary, so I ended up making this thing, a Surface-based Half-Tone shader! It's not great, but I think the effect is neat, and I'm releasing it as a free download in the comments below! #IndieDev #Shaders

Still work in progress but we're adding ultimate attacks to the game! We want more opportunities for the player to feel cool haha. I feel the shot itself is still lacking flare/impact so open to any thoughts on that! #gamedev #indiedev #bullethell #unity3D #vfx #animation

Experimenting with halftone shadows. I think it's a fun look!

Gettin in some good ol fidgets! Had to get that Zelda ref in there too hahaha #gamedev #indiedev #animation #bullethell

FRIDAY NIGHT DESTRUCTION MONTAGE! check out our game @robodome.astralcoast.com ! #gamedev #indiedev #bullethell #roguelike #roguelight

The nice thing about being an indie dev is you get to try a bunch of things you don't get to do at your industry job. I've had a blast making UI for our game, Robo Dome, learning as I go. Today, I've been working on adding a little idle movement to things for visual interest.

Non-sensical weapons are always a good time. The bubble gun is still one of my favorites haha. #robodome #bullethell #gamedev #unity3d
