Annual reminder that DEEP STATE has a Discord 👽 I have a very active devlog on there, and we’ve built a community of lowpoly artists and devs trading tips, WIPs, and resources. If you’re into old-school 3D or want more frequent updates it's worth checking out. Link below 👇

Every mech game needs a startup sequence #gamedev #ue5 #UnrealEngine #indiegame #IndieGameDev #madewithunreal #demo #hawken #armoredcore #mecha #fps

WIP on a new Main Menu, trying to make that first impression set the tone and vibe. The weapons shown on the mech will also be those the player currently has equipped (or destroyed and in need of replacement! 😬) #gamedev #ue5 #indiegame #IndieGameDev #hawken #armoredcore #mecha

Fighting enemies lacked much impact and didn't feel fun, that needed to change! So more hit reactions, now for when weapons are destroyed. #gamedev #ue5 #UnrealEngine #indiegame #IndieGameDev #madewithunreal #demo #hawken #armoredcore #mecha

Desert Wastes and Sniper Dens 🏜️ #ue5 #UnrealEngine #indiegame #IndieGameDev #madewithunreal #demo #hawken #armoredcore #mecha #gamedev

Sniping's a good job, mate 🤠 #gamedev #ue5 #UnrealEngine #indiegame #IndieGameDev #madewithunreal #demo #hawken #armoredcore #mecha

Feels good to finally be modelling GIGANTIC MECH GUNS #gamedev #indiedev #mecha #mech #fps #hawken #armoredcore #ue5

I set out to create a physically accurate rotating light for no other reason than to see if I could. It uses a set of curved opposing mirrors and a "bulb" (emissive sphere) in front of both and set to rotate 😆 #wip #descent

Good morning, candidates 👁️🌻 "Escape from Mutation Station" is out NOW! Get the short, weird, and somewhat unconventional escape room experience here: store.steampowered.com/app/3137530/ It's cheap, but it's 25% cheaper at launch! Please buy, review, share, all that. #indiegames #gamedev #gaming

Hawken and Armored Core inspired Souls-like Mech FPS, SCRAPS OF THE MACHINE, Pre-Alpha Demo is PLAYABLE RIGHT NOW! #gamedev #ue5 #UnrealEngine #indiegame #IndieGameDev #madewithunreal #demo #gamedemo

Metal Garden is now out on Steam! Embark on a short, atmospheric adventure through an overgrown megastructure. store.steampowered.com/app/3539440/...

Getting dangerously close to first playtest ready 🙂 #gamedev #ue5 #UnrealEngine #indiegame #IndieGameDev #madewithunreal

Aaaaalmost done with settings menus! Got control sensitivity sliders, toggle aim, video settings, audio settings, and full input rebinding! #gamedev #ue5 #UnrealEngine #indiegame #IndieGameDev #madewithunreal

Been a minute since I posted! Are the lights still on here? Here are some WIP menus! #gamedev #IndieGameDev #UE5

PERIPETEIA has officially RELEASED into early access. This has been an incredible journey thus far, possible only thanks to all of you. We will continue to release maps, bugfixes, and content for all as it continues development with KS and patron backers early. store.steampowered.com/app/1437760/

I like making little pixel art UI icons

❄️

Not super exciting, but here is some Menu UI exploration #indiedev #gamedev #UnrealEngine5 #Mecha

Still a long way to go, but satisfied with this level of progress. #ue5 #madewithunreal #uneralengine5 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #pixelart

Been re-familiarizing myself with Blender and such, and wanted to see how an itty bitty 128x128 texture might look and I'm pretty happy with how such a small texture can look so sharp with the right settings in UE #ue5 #madewithunreal #UnrealEngine5 #indiegame #indiedev

Testing out #UnrealEngine5 's built in Cube Grid toolset. #madewithunreal #ue5 #indiedev #indiegame

Progress on the first playable prototype is progressing well! There is one landscape based level and one mesh based level, testing out different ways of level development. These each have weapon/unlocks, save points, and dynamic ai spawns. #indiegame #gamedev #Mecha #pcgaming #madewithunreal #ue5

Starting on my first two prototype levels for public testing #gamedev #madewithunreal #ue5 #indiegame #IndieGameDev

New year, new screenshots.
