Semester 2 group project prototype demo complete, after much crashing out. Now to work on other things for a bit before turning this into a full game. Blehh #indiegamedev #gamedev #MadeWithUnity #lowpoly #retro

2nd semester of Uni, this is the first room of our group project! #indiegamedev #gamedev #MadeWithUnity #Blockbench

#Godot 4.6 is out, and all about your flow! This release puts you and your workflow first with a new theme, flexible docks, and dozens of UX improvements. And Jolt Physics by default, revamped IK, better reflections, and more. Less wrestling with UI. More making games. godotengine.org/releases/4.6

Would @srpelo.bsky.social get mad at me if I chopped up his voice from ENA and turned it into a UTDR-esque dialogue voice text thingy. #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

Been over a year on BlueSky, new intro time! Hi I'm Pixel or PxlHeart! I'm a #gamedev Ulster University student in #Unity, and a hobbyist/educator in #GodotEngine. I'm half-Filipino, half-Irish and 99.9% queer [certifcation needed] Stick around and see what antics I get up to. I love you mmmwah :3

Just finished up uni for the semester and I definitely *haven't* already lost my mind.

Started university about 11 weeks ago and as part of my course I've had to learn Unity. It's going pretty well so far. Decided to make a procedurally generated infinite racer. Here's the skybox shader! #indiegamedev #gamedev #unity #madewithunity

My interactive tween guide for Godot is out ! If you have trouble using tweens, adding "Juice" or picking the right transition, it should hopefully help! The guide is free and will always be 🩵 qaqelol.itch.io/tweens #Godot #GameDev #Animation #Tutorial #Guide #Tweens

New Twenty Øne Pilots album is FIRE!!! One Way/Days Lie Dormant is an instant favourite. I'm so giddy it's such a good album muehehehe

Nightmare of a thing to implement but got dragging and rotating inventory items working. As well as shape vertex generation and highlighting items and grid slots. #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #2d

Been working on an inventory system teehee #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot #godotengine

Amazing to see Godot grow as much as it has. Can't wait to see what big games people make with it!

Wasted so much time today trying to figure out a way to test this stuff on the same computer blehhhh. Eh whatever, time doing is time learning. Made a couple of bug fixes in my endeavour anyway. #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

Y'all I'm struggling a little bit. How do you go about testing Steam multiplayer? I'm drawing a complete blank on how to effectively test it because my Steam ID is the same in both run instances, and I don't want to jump through a million hoops for like a test env or a VM #indiegamedev #godotengine

The woes of spending many hours building a uid system only to realise you've programmed yourself into a corner and it would've been so much easier from the beginning to just use Steam IDs on their own. I'm not crying, you are. #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #godotsteam

Relearning how to add multiplayer to Godot and oh my god it's just as much of a nightmare as I remember it. #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

Yeah I'm going to bed it's nearly 4:30am blehhhhhh #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

I decided to generalise online IDs to save myself headache later. Also just a good practice in data management. It's been a while since I've written important data-driven systems. It's not likely I'll get the chance to go multiplatform, but it's nice to have the option. #indiegamedev #godotengine

A really big thing that I don't see many people mention when developping on/for computer; Creating focus neighbours for gamepad/keyboard only users is _tedious as hell_. A relatively unnoticeable change I undertook this *cough* early "morning". Glad I did though. #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

Buttons... #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #ui

Song (menu) that might play (will show) when you fight Sans (press escape). #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #ui

Control rebinding menu! #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

Decided to make a small demo of the template (soon to be Dead Air) so far. It shows off: Main menu Settings menu (language, audio, video) Custom hover tooltips Stamina/sprinting Audio occlusion muffling Health & Vignette effects Injured state #indiegamedev #godotengine #ui #3d

Working on audio pooling atm and the mesh debug system is pretty cool #indiegamedev #godotengine #3d #audio

Oh the bittersweet painjoy of switching note-taking apps...

Both Audio and Video tabs are now complete (for what I want for now), things are coming together! #indiegamedev #godotengine #ui

More chicanery #indiegamedev #godotengine #ui #3d

Language switcher babyyyy #indiegamedev #godotengine #ui

Typo in this destroyed my reach lmao #indiegamedev is what I meant oupses

Started chipping away at the Video Settings panel :p And of course, fully savable to config and localisable :D #indiegamdev #godotengine #ui

This just in: Local idiot codes until 5am. Lives to regret it. #indiegamedev #godotengine #ui

He only knows how to play one song #indiegamedev #godotengine #3d #music

Oh my goodness it's been yonks since I've posted anything game dev (sorry!) Recently I've been working on putting together a template for myself for first person games, latest on the chopping block was the game UI: Health bar and vignettes! #indiegamedev #godotengine #3d #ui

Oh so that's what I've been doing when blacked out. #indiegamedev #godotengine

Some pretty neat things going on for my academy game. Procedurally generated ice texture and world (w/ caves) Took a few iterations but I like how spaghetti the caves are. #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #2d #procgen

Did somebody say early version of a dialogue box? #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

T'isn't very much, but I thought I'd post an early prototype of the main menu of the game I'm working on for a game dev academy I'm taking part in: #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

Happy new year gamers!!!!!!

Merry Christmas y'all!

I've come to the conclusion that I want to release a small (but complete) game on Itch first before I fully commit to MEEP. Been taking hits to my motivation recently, and I think going to a simple 2D story game might help me get my mojo back. #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine

I slapped some textures on this here fella and did some more work on the interactable pads Animations of the pads up on Patreon soon! #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #3d

A bit bare-bones atm, but I've started working on implementing interactable objects (and the game start sequence :o). Realising more and more every day how simultaneously easy and difficult it is to make a game. #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #3d

New post up on Patreon! #indiegamedev #gamedev

I uhh... I messed something up since last I tested the eyes... #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #3d

Looks at you with my autistic eyes :3 #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #3d

I got the diffs back! Yippee!

Procrastinated a lot of the day, have a screenshot of the language selection menu :p #indiegamedev #gamedev #godotengine #accessibility

I did a smart thing and now have my game on GitHub so if my laptop explodes I don't cry (too much) because it's all lost. Kind of annoyed though because I accidentally deleted my old diffs, but it's fine I guess :( #indiegamedev #gamedev #github

Absolutely ecstatic that Frostpunk 2 won the Best Sim/Strategy GA. Phenomenal game and well-deserved!

Hi chat, mostly refactoring for today. Although I did start making some flowcharts to keep me right. And I'm also gonna shamelessly promote my (empty) Discord, if you wanna ask questions about my game or game dev or just shoot the shit. I won't bite c: discord.gg/rXFtEAZ8Ek #indiegamedev #gamedev
