Friends of the Night Raven, 2 Nerdy Nerds are building a awesome Zombie Horde survivor, with the Unique 2.5 D hand drawn style, if that is your type of game, go give them a Wishlist! we for sure did. 💪 🚂🚃🚃 All aboard the hype train !

Hey trying that live thing. Hop over to twitch and see a game get build www.twitch.tv/stephanienight

As part of the mega refactor i am also in the middle of a rebuild the track building system, inplimenting a a* algorithm. Took a while but finnally seeing progress. #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame #RailroadTycoon

I think i need to take a page from the jook of streaming, excellent explanation GMTK!

Friend of the Raven, @professionalpanda.bsky.social has gone Freelance, so if you need help with game design, production or just a kind soul on your team, i would give them a chat.

Friend of the Ravens, Rat pack Digital, is going to Animecon in Rijswijk, with a playable demo, Bugboy looks like a great throwback to the great gameboy days!

Playable demo will be shown off at the Rat Pack Digital booth on Animecon in The Netherlands next weekend! Wishlist Bugboy here store.steampowered.com/app/3095130/... #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart

It is for times like the great code refactor i am really happy for stable Git version control software. Let's COOK 💪 #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame #RailroadTycoon

This really is sad, to a point i dont jet know how to describe. But looking forward to steam powered tycoon getting similar reviews i guess 😅

Our Friend of Nigth raven, Jake Has started building a incremental game about spells, kindly go check it out, if you can and share your feedback

Working on getting settings working on the game, and now we have a quality slider, save and load system is coming tomorrow #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame #RailroadTycoon

Testing some webm files. Added in a sound file to test the chuffs of the engine, provided by the amazing @kenney.nl Impact sounds, as a stand in. amazing what a little sound can do to a game. #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame #RailroadTycoon

Do ya'll want content ?? #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame #RailroadTycoon

A lot has happened since the last update here, Cargo can now be moved, there is a notion of economy, some use ability from the early feedback, and now a basic main menu scene is taking shape. #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame #RailroadTycoon

Sometimes a little extra can go a long way, like a label rising and shopwing how much what you build just cost you. soon the economy update is here #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame #RailroadTycoon

After routing and pathfinding got implimented it was time to move on to the next milestone, trains stats : this invulved redoing all inital calculations for power to SI and then added acceleration. Catch me if you can! #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame #RailroadTycoon

and with that ... we have pathfinding.😱 #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame #RailroadTycoon

Double Update time. After the basic design of the engines was running we movced on with setting up a actual train and its routes. The idea is to have routes like Transport Fewer 2 and a list of trains per route, and how many of each. #IndieGameDev #TycoonGame #Godot #GameDev #TrainGame

Update time, After the research tree got implimented and all the data moved out of the game in spreadsheets for easy edits. we continued to one main feature of the game, Engine spec manipulations, by adjusting wheel size, engine size. #indiegame #tycoon #railroadtycoon #godot #gamedev #indie

Happy 2nd anniversary to the Steam Dev Cheat Sheet 🥂 LMK if any info is out of date! Good luck with your game 🎮 #indiegamedev

It has been a while, but there is some progress, I got to create my first game dev tool today, a sprite generator, for generating all the thumbnail for the rollingstock making the tech tree 10x better but still hideous 😄 #indiegame #tycoongame #railroadtycoon #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indie

Alright progress is starting to pick up and i have made the bones for the tech tree for Steam powered Tycoon. Data driven, progressive visibility and multi path for more specialized style of play. #indiegame #tycoongame #railtycoon #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indie

performance testing. never to early to see how your game is doing. so just for fun i decided to see how the game was running, so i placed some track and started spawning in trains. got to 269 before the fps started dropping. #indiegame #tycoongame #tycoon #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indie

Okay now we are getting somewhere, a train that follows a piece of track, also starting to see some of the voxel models make its way in the game, that is a joy. #indiegame #tycoongame #tycoon #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indie

Oooh looking forward to this !

Time for a little project update. Adding in stations (blue) and workshops (red) and got the tracks to a point where i like it enough to continue. soon trains will run 🏨🚂🚃 #indiegame #tycoongame #tycoon #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indie

This is for sure us this pride. Happy pride everyone! And keep coding!

Okay - i used to say math was not important for developing a piece of software. Until I tried to lay a path and calculate in and out vectors, then i realized the importance and that i had to relearn it all. Trigonometry is a pain. 😂 #indiegame #tycoongame #tycoon #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indie

This artstyle is awesome! Hope the release goes well ♥️

now there is starting to go somewhere, the Railroad Tycoon game actually have a track placement feature #indiegame #tycoongame #tycoon #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indie

check out my friend Kitty's awesome projects !

i havent had much time to work today but i do have a little thing to show, i learned how to put custom icons on nodes in Godot So now there is a track icon in the Track scene instead of the default circle. Nice! sometimes the job well done is just learning to get more organized 🙂

TRAILER ONE OUT NOW. There will be a demo out soon! I can't wait to show you. Go wishlist it right now, right here: store.steampowered.com/app/3644970?... #indiegames #gamedev #gaming #pixelart

sometimes it is the little things, like having a good UI to quickly visualize where your stuff is, so Colored folders is now part of my workflow. cant believe i didn't try this in Unreal #indiegame #game #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indie

To get started with #Godot I follow this ARPG tutorial series www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAbG... i can highly recommend it, it helped a lot getting started in understanding how Godot works, even though it was made for 3.2 the top comments helps with translation. 10/10 would code again.

Currently playing about in #Godot, trying to workshop if I can make my game in that engine instead of UE5, firts piece of track is layed and the result looks promissing so far.
