when the fam comes in clutch with an Aussie Christmas care package direct to Sweden 😍🇦🇺🦘🐨

whoa whoa what's that in the light store.steampowered.com/app/3445610/...

something about video games with these abstract white/black glowy doorways hits the nostalgia just right 😤👌 #bombshellblitz #gamedev

here's an early look at the Staging Area in Blitz! this is where you can talk to your course instructor (more on that later hehe 👀💕), check out the leaderboards and course challenges! #bombshellblitz #gamedev

i've recognised that im way too precious about only sharing Blitz dev stuff that's *perfect* (or at least 'done'), and I end up just not showing anything instead since i have such high standards lol 😅 i wanna change that going forward and start sharing things more casually again

I have officially lived for three whole decades 🎂👄🎂

anime-style procedural pixel clouds achieved! :D☁️ #bombshellblitz #gamedev #madewithunity

shhh the military kitty is sleeping 💤 #bombshellblitz #lowpoly #ドット絵 #픽셀아트

"colonel, im trying to sneak into the facility, but the clap of my tank treads keeps alerting the guards" — Solid Snake, probably #bombshellblitz #gamedev

the riff that can summon all the edgy 2000s emo kids 🤘 #guitarcover #ギター弾いてみた

i feel like ive landed on a really nice way to make score-chasing and level modifiers fun in Blitz - who knew all I had to do was just look at Halo skulls 💀👄💀 I've got a BIG ass system to architect first, but it's motivating to have faith in such an important design decision

hehe comfy pentagram hoodie ⛤

life has been good recently 😌 I also took a break from work to visit Switzerland over the weekend and man what a gorgeous place 🇨🇭🏔️

some wip UI work for blitz! Each level is pre-designed but given to you in a random order every run with a random positive/negative modifier applied to it, making the experience and challenge different each time! #bombshellblitz #gamedev #indiedev

GAME MUSIC COMPOSERS! 🎶 I'm in the market to bring someone onboard to help create several tracks for BOMBSHELL BLITZ! Battle music made of chiptunes / MIDI instrumentals is the main thing I'm after, so if that sounds like you please leave your demo reel in the comments! 👀

trying out a new thall amp sim which obviously meant i had to chug out some doom eternal OST 🤘🔥 #DOOM #guitarcover #ギター弾いてみた

it's fun coming up with enemies that dont explicitly attack you, but pose a challenge in other ways. these dudes are real annoying when combined with other tanks >:D #bombshellblitz #gamedev #madewithunity

noodling on a melody that's been stuck in my head

solo game dev is hard man. it's not even the complexity of the work, just the TIME it takes to do it all. Powering through it tho— Blitz will take a while but I'm confident in the QUALITY it'll have. next project i'll be doing *quite* a few things different though I'll just say😅

back to working on Blitz today! the lil bombshells need attention 😤

🧵 breakdown thread of the Halo energy shield vfx! (there's a couple approaches you could take for this, and a lot of optimisations possible for each part, so take this more as a general 'approach' than a specific step-by-step!) 1/5

now that @halo.gg is being made in Unreal Engine, it seemed fun to reimagine what Spartan energy shields could look like with a fresh coat of paint — here's my take on some flashy shaders+vfx in engine! ⚡ #vfx #unreal #gamedev #halo

very nice GI outside today ☀️

still cooking on tank game atm, but what tech demo would you most like to see next? 👀 1️⃣ Halo shield effect 2️⃣ Interactive water 3️⃣ D&D stoneskin spell 4️⃣ Procedural anime clouds (bsky doesn’t have real polls yet 🙈)

News! I'm looking for work. I draw clean colorful pixel art, sometimes 3D. Familiar with animation, tilesets, UI, scripting, you name it. Portfolio: cara.app/lampysprites lampysprites(dot)hotmail(at)com Not considering crypto, ai, rev-share. #pixelart #indiedev #gamedev

what pagan ritual must i perform to stop maya, unreal, and AE from crashing when using them in the lightest manner possible 😭

it's a small detail but Blitz academy is 👏wheelchair accessible👏 (one of our tba bombshells may appreciate this 👀)

getting something of a title screen together! :D #bombshellblitz #madewithunity #gamedev

alrighty done with Unreal for a bit now - heading back to Unity to work on Blitz! more tech art experiments to come in the future tho (maybe i'll also actually just PLAY baldur's gate as a treat now too haha)

okay here it is all wrapped up — my recreation of Baldur's Gate III's occlusion cutout effect in Unreal! i learned a LOT from this experiment over the past couple days, and will share some breakdown bits in the 🧵 shortly! #gamedev #shaders #unrealengine

I've got this exactly 1:1 now, cracked the last bit yesterday. I've mainly been spending time now just recreating the movement controller just for that extra ✨polish✨ haha gonna do some side by side comparison vids + explanation tomorrow and wrap this up!

it took me a bit, but my approach here was actually (almost) totally wrong. Solid breakthrough tonight after spinning the camera around this building for like an hour straight lol it's not a flat circle cutout, but a 3D spherecast. lemme cook a bit and then i'll ramble more 👀

new ink stabbed in today 💪 the (half?)sleeve is now filled and we’ve got BIG plans for the upper arm piece next 🦇🖋️

trying to recreate baldur's gate 3's camera controller + cutout transparency effect! #unrealengine #gamedev

i know 99% of you follow me for the lowpoly pixelssss so my random vfx explorations may be a bit of tonal whiplash lol, but im having a lot of fun putting them together and i've needed a bit of a creative 'holiday' for a while! (still more pixels to come though!)

one more Skyrim spell remade in Unreal! ⚡ #gamedev #vfx #UnrealEngine breakdown in 🧵 to come!

did a repaint of Moxie's texture - much more happy with how she looks now! big muscle lady is 🥵🔥 #bombshellblitz #lowpoly #ドット絵 #픽셀아트

recreation of skyrim's Restoration spell vfx in unreal/niagara! having a lot of fun with these!✨ #gamedev #vfx #UnrealEngine

first VFX challenge complete with a recreation of the Alteration spell effect from skyrim! how'd I do?💎 #gamedev #vfx #UnrealEngine will do a breakdown in thread🧵 tomorrow!

i kinda want to do a mini (weekly?) challenge where i re-create magic vfx from games like skyrim and BG3 in unity🤔 with a breakdown and all of how it's put together would that be something people would like to see? i mean look at this - it's so shiny and nice ✨

let's beeeyyyblaaaaade~🤘 #beyblade #guitarcover #ギター弾いてみた

anime-style procedural pixel clouds achieved! :D☁️ #bombshellblitz #gamedev #madewithunity

it’s ODST time baby 🔥 time to get some paint and a dremel 👀

here's a look at the trailer track for BOMBSHELL BLITZ in FL! guitars, chiptunes, and a very anime-style melody. Still some experimentation to do for the structure of looping music for the in-game levels, but it's fun to work on :D #bombshellblitz #gamedev #flstudio

random #gamedev ramble about something i've been thinking about/seen recently, specifically — looking at a game mechanic in isolation (early in dev especially), not finding fun in it, doubting the design, and feeling forced to add complexity to it to bring that fun out 🧵/1

SCRATCH WAKE UP WE HIT 25K WISHLISTS 🎊 seriously thanks for all the support - i've honestly been really surprised how much interest there was since the announcement a few weeks ago (wii tanks legacy stronk). I'll keep working hard to get the game in your hands soon!
