New mini game work in progress! this one's a bit of a throwback 😁 don't fall through the ice!! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame

cooking something up with my map here 👀 .... #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame #cozygames

Alright, back to our regularly scheduled programming. Added another mini-game to the valley! And if you're interested in play testing let me know and I will add you to the discord server! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame #cozygames

It's been a little bit! Took a short break from cozy valley to focus on some life things + a bit of side projecting (as is the way) but we'll be back to our regularly scheduled programming very soon! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot

Interactive #Godot tween guide. If you need help with tweens, transitions or adding juice, it’s all here. qaqelol.itch.io/tweens #gamedev #indiedev

No driving game is complete without a speed boost amirite? 🚙💨 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame #cozygames

Started adding some fun objectives to do while exploring! First up: time trials! 🏁 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame #cozygames

anyone else have items on their todo list that are like "add this" but actually end up being 50 mini tasks?

When the intrusive thoughts win...but the game won't let you! 🪂 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame #cozygames

Second playtest is just around the corner! Added lots of things since the first one... 🚙 New car + car physics ⭐️ Simplified UI 🎥 Camera movement + tracking 🎩 Wearables! 🪄 Teleporter 🌾 More flora! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame #cozygames

More work on biomes and environment! Now you can drive through lush meadows, tropical beaches, icy tundras, scorching deserts, and into a volcano!! 🌋 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame #cozygames

Still working through major improvements to the biomes and environment but was able to add this nice bushy patch of grass to drive through 🌾😁 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame #cozygames

Been working a lot on behind the scenes stuff but here is some front of scene stuff 😎 most collectables now have some sort of effect! What would you like to wear on your car?? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame #cozygames

Spent some time this week refocusing my game around driving, collecting, and exploring. Ended up ripping out a lot of unnecessary bloat! And now trees go bonk! 🌲💥 sound on 🔊 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame

Decided to rework the entire car physics...while learning car physics...and blender 🤯 pretty happy with the result though! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame #cozygame

Wow 100+ followers! Thank you all for taking an interest in my little project! I've just released the first playtest on itch - you can try it here honeycomb-games.itch.io/cozy-valley! Come explore the valley! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame

We've got biomes! Still some fine-tuning needed but the system is in place. Traverse open fields, wooded forests, snow-capped peaks, expansive deserts, tropical beaches and more! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame

Actual screenshots for #screenshotsaturday this time! 📸 Work in progress on adding biomes to add interesting sights to drive through! Also added this fade when objects obstruct the camera, was easier than I thought! #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame

Okay fineee...you can drive underwater 🌊🤿 after unlocking the periscope of course 😁 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame

Life's been busy but I'm back! Initially, the car could drive underwater as the water mesh had no collider. So I added an invisible wall! Tada! No more underwater driving...but what if you could...? 🤔 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame

Another productive week getting ready for my first playtest! Managed to add a main menu, sound fx and music, update the player UI, MORE assets, and a skybox! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame

Been a busy week! Adding assets, learning blender (it's hard), and generally adding content...like this plane for end game zoomies 😁 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame

Looked at the clouds today and thought to myself "Man that's a really cool shader" 🤦‍♂️ Anyhow, I've implemented the tile spawning animation! All I had to do was break the entire map and re-write it from the ground up 😁 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #drivinggame

This week I challenged myself to create a quick and dirty inventory and upgrade system that works. Mission accomplished! Lots of polish still to come but you can now collect parts and craft upgrades! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot

Seeds are fun! Added seeding for the random map generation and the foundations for the collectable system! Now to just add allllll the collectables. What kind of things would you like to collect? #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev

Had a family mandated vacation but I'm back! This time with some noise-generated landscape and waterrrrrr Starting to get more interesting driving around! Time to add some things to collect... #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev

Chase cam all set up! Also cleaned up the tracking so the grid follows the car a little better. Onto generating an interesting map to drive around in! #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev

alright! finally got the grid tracking with the car. far from perfect but it's a start! also apologies for the janky camera movement, haven't quite got the chase cam up and running yet 😅 #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #solodev #indiegamedev #gamedev

Hello Bluesky! I’m a indie dev working on Cozy Valley! A cozy driving game where you drive around and collect things. Hoping to share my progress as I go! Am new to this (game dev and blue sky) but looking forward to the adventure!
