Triceratops are well known to be weak to certain wrestling moves. I'm not actually fully happy with how this looks, but its a good starting place! #gamedev #indiegame

New enemy on the way #gamedev #indiegame

Been working on directional responses to attacks, like this is Terry getting hit by a sweep from different angles. #gamedev #indiegame

Making progress on the Lawn Mower Centaur, and he's kinda coming together? We'll see. #gamedev #indiegame

Belly jiggle is paramount to good character design. #gamedev #indiegame

Though it doesn't look that impressive, it was a significant challenge for me to figure out how to make him run away after you get too close. But now he's pretty close to a complete enemy! #gamedev #indiegame

Working on the suburb zone with landscaping enemies such as the leaf blower man. #gamedev #indiegame

Working on getting a bigger enemy cause my first attempt didn't feel as good as I wanted it. But it's getting closer to what I want! #gamedev #indiegame

Trying to increase combat depth by adding things that can't be parried, like grabs. But I don't want to slow down combat too much with animations, but I like the suplexing. Looking to find a good balance and I would appreciate any thoughts! #gamedev #indiegame

Trying to find a combat rhythm that feels good, and this is a step in the right direction I think! I know you can only glean so much from a clip but any ideas on how to improve combat are welcome and appreciated! #gamedev #indiedev #soulslike

Knock out animation for Terry up and running #gamedev #indiegame

Missed Grab #blender #animation #indiedev

Knock Out animation for when you deplete his stamina before his health bar #gamedev #indiegame

I've been having trouble with the Car Man fight, it just feels un-fun so far. But this Tire Shoes guy is starting to come together! #gamedev #indiegame #soulslike

Car Man's car crush attack, with spooky skeleton for reference. #gamedev #blender #animation

I know it's pretty played out at this point, but I gave Terry the ability to suplex cars. #gamedev #indiegame

Here's another Diesel Demon. Unholy oil runs through his pipes. #gamedev #indiegame #blender

Working on enemies, and this guy is tentatively named "Car Chest Man." I don't know if I want to make his legs more really fast when he drives or like put training wheels on his knees. #gamedev #indiegame #blender

After going back to the basics and practicing game mechanics, I think I'm ready to continue with more complex stuff. So here is Terry, practicing his parries! #gamedev #indiegame #blender

My modest contribution to a gamejam with my brother and our friend.

Was fun working with my brother and a friend on the #GMTK2025 gamejam! It was a good few days spent and I learned a LOT. Is the game fair? No. Is it fun? Maybe. Does loop girl count your laps for you? Yes. You can try it if you want, here's the link: jamin-games-studio.itch.io/loop-coaster...

Running is a integral part of every barbarian's routine. #art #fantasyart #clipstudio #barbarian

Varmints in the grass #gamedev #indiegame

Here I hunt a deer with a weapon that's a little less medieval. And you can see what could be the beginnings of a tracking system with sweet blood trails. #gamedev #indiegame

Play as Chunk in this 3rd person action adventure game. Mould your form, gain abilities, conquer dungeons, defeat bosses and restore the world. Wishlist Now on Steam! #pitchyagame We are looking for a publisher! #gamedev #indiedev

Characters in this game will come jam packed with at least one unique talking animation! #gamedev #indiegame

Even the most humble Mountain Lion is a dangerous threat when alone in the woods. #gamedev #indiegame

Here's some early man on moose combat. #gamedev #indiegame #soulslike

You don't understand how big a moose really is until he stands up on two legs. #gamedev #indiegame

Been working on some environmental stuff and cleaning up mechanics. The forest is starting to look ready for the hunt to begin. #gamedev #indiegame #soulslike

Some attacks are more dangerous and can break the normal rules of combat, and they come with a signal to make sure you know! In this case his attack cannot be blocked, only parried. #gamedev #indiegame

Back to the basics. The barb combat felt, kinda sloppy. So I spent the last few days trying to make something that felt clean and simple. And this is the result. #gamedev #indiegame

Behold, a fully armored skeleton! Well fitted and crafted specifically for him! #gamedev #indiegame

Cleaning up combat to make it feel more consistent. Like ducking and jumping over high and low attacks actually works 100% of the time when its supposed to. #gamedev #indiegame

Now the barb can heal, and he has his first piece of gear on his belt. #gamedev #indiegame

First look at the Demon portal master Siranna. The silly cardboard portals look better than I expected! And the demon arm that punches through is a placeholder. Also its hard to tell but her nips are covered by respectable metal modesty skulls. #gamedev #indiegame

Working on Boss stuff, but took a break to get a little closer to finishing the player barb's mobility set. These slides are executed by crouching mid dash. #gamedev #indiegame

A full, work in progress fight with Balaad, in his arena! Complete with animation bugs and a lot of failed reads. Which is embarrassing because I was the person who animated them. #gamedev #indiegame

So the first clip is a new punch animation to try and make it look more impactful. The second one below is the original. I think I might have gone a little to far with the exaggerated movement in the new one, but I don't know. What do you think? #gamedev #indiegame

Working on Balaad's attacks. Here's one where I mostly successfully dodge his attacks correctly. It's hard to show in a short little clip but the directionality of your dodges matters, because there are no i-frames. So dodge carefully! #gamedev #indiegame

Working on another boss, and this is the first one with a name! Balaad, the Undead Champion. A fellow barbarian before his death, and a solemn reminder of what could happen if you fall in the necromancer's tower. #gamedev #indiegame

My Barb takes some notes from Venom's sweet dance moves. #gamedev #indiegame

Working on mechanics. Like tearing away their shield after you break their balance. #gamedev #indiegame

Pathetic little man gets torn in two. #gamedev #indiegame

Here's a better look at the Roller Blade Giant in all his glory. #gamedev #indiegame

The Roller Blade Giant, RBG for short, is starting to get a feel for his sweet blade skills. #gamedev #indiegame

This guy can BLADE #gamedev #indiegame

He's learned to drive and now he's ready to rumble. #gamedev #indiegame

He's still learning to drive. (he gets the hang of it pretty quick) #gamedev #indiegame

Got the rotation to work! I'm not happy with HOW i did it, but it's functional, and that's all that matters. #gamedev #indiegame
