[Day 4] Hey, y'all! Starting things off today with a little player rep and the highlighting preview logic implemented. I'll clean it up since a lot of readability will hinge on it, I think. Also the preview needs to update on a player move. Currently it only does on hover on/off. #indiedev #gamedev

[Day 3] Let's go! I started day three with a bit of self-organizing an set up a kanban board on miro to track my tasks. I don't like the native solution there, so I personally always go with a self-made one. Main tasks today (for now): Routing and Fuel/Resource implementation. #gamedev #indiedev

I'm not asking for a lot for just a day of happiness. Just, you know, maybe no new war further destabilizing the world, maybe a summer without nazis, or perhaps just not having another attack on my livelihood. The bar really isn't that high, but alas...

[Day 2] So, today I'll try to implement the very basic features outlined in the MVP. First I need two things: A basic understanding of the pathfinding and a plan of what elements will make up the prototype to outline what will hold what functions and data. #indiedev #gamedev

Hey! Join me on a short, two-week game design exploration for our indie game! I want to test a different approach to the maps in encounter based rogue-likes. Instead of decision trees, I want to try a node network on an open map. That comes with challenges, tho. [Foreword 1/4] #indiedev #gamedev

I am once again disgusted by YouTubes ability do recommend me anti-SJW-Gamer™ bullshit directly after indulging in two or three "franchise from the 00s is bad now" videos. The sad gaming dudes really do not die out, do they? #gaming #youtube

Indie Game Awards Disqualifies Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Due To Gen AI Usage insider-gaming.com/indie-game-a...

Oh no Clair Obscur lost the award they never should have qualified for anyway because they aren't an indie game.

Also what is disgusting about genAI cute animal content. The value of that cute animal video is that there’s a little being with a life that means something on the other end of the lens and that life is bringing you joy. They poured poison in that well and now you never know if they were ever alive

For Arc Raiders to ride the wave of human sociability all the way to the bank, while also being so contemptuous of the thing that makes us social animals in its own workflow demonstrates a lack of artistic integrity that I find impossible to ignore. Our review: https://bit.ly/49bVn01

The haters said they couldn't do it. And they were right. Honestly, great call from the haters.

Sharing BLOODLETTER's opening cinematic for this week's #trailertuesday We just revealed this for our brand new demo out on steam have a look and tell us what you think 🫀🃏 www.youtube.com/watch?v=_Z-c...

Not sure if the resolution is good enough but that's the VFX graph 🔍

Finally got an excuse to use Unity's VFX graphs (instead of good old particle systems out of habit) and I must say they are pretty neat. The ability to combine them with Shadergraph shaders did it for me! So I can both have flying behaviour and flapping wings in this little bee swarm VFX I made 🐝 👌

We are counting down the days of our Demo release! We finally got the story of BLOODLETTER implemented! You can find "story snippets" throughout a run to uncover the history of this haunted village and its inhabitants. Wishlist store.steampowered.com/app/3548560/... www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Dcu...

It's time to add the next weapon to my prototype. What weapon and which vfx would be cool? #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev #roguelike #realtimeVFX #UE5

Fortunate Son played over a military parade of obviously checked-out soldiers, marching out of sync to stroke the ego of a real estate mogul turned president who dodged the draft the song was written in criticism of. I have already become the joker.

Wanna know why most of game devs are Left-leaning? Because you actually have to doubt about yourself and what you do A LOT in order to make something good. You gotta be your own critic, question your choices and accept when you are wrong at all times.

I am a good citizen

Some more screenshots of the prototype I've been working on for the last 6 months. I recently applied for funding to make this into a full game, wish me luck! 🙏

Hey bsky! 👋 I'm Lenja, a solo indie dev based in Berlin, Germany. Here's what I'm currently working on: My 6 month old prototype for a game about spreading water in the desert and watching things grow. 🌱✨

Berlin is so cool i wish it were real

Go ahead and crash out. As a little treat.
