Damn it... it's screenshot Saturday and all I'm working on is code 😔 #gamedev

Something for the share pile for #throwbackthursday #indiegames #gamedev

My daily torture comes from the fact Unity couldn't be bothered to make a third person controller w/ motion matching & IK w/profiles for things characters always do in games other than "walk" and "run". 😖

No one seems to know why cameras weirdly ultra zoom when enabling DLSS in Unity. #gamedev #unity3d

Thankful to everyone for wishlisting Age of Rust 🙏🙌 I'm over 4k wishlists now on the Epic Game Store! store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/age-... #thankyou #indiegamedev #gamedev

Hey #PitchYaGame In Age of Rust, play as Quinn Holt—an operative in a fractured galaxy full of pirates, betrayal & secrets. Use stealth, firepower & puzzles to survive black ops missions where duty blurs into conspiracy. Wishlist: store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/age-... #GameDev #Indiegamedev

Upgrading A* Pathfinding to the new version today... for whatever reason the recast graph stopped recognizing stairs 🤔 Going to try the new version, but with all things, it requires an uplift and of course, Unity package updates. 😬😅 #indiegamedev #unity

It feels wrong that @unity.com assets featured as "Publisher of the Week" with coupon codes still appear as paid on the regular store page 😟 I could end up buying something Unity is literally giving away. Shouldn’t this be more transparent? #Unity #gamedev assetstore.unity.com/publisher-sale

Oh hey, the Games in NY Steam page just went up a few minutes ago. Here it is, mine is in there. store.steampowered.com/sale/GamesinNY #indiegamedev #solodev

Unity 6.2 beta is out. The very long awaited MeshLOD is in it... something Unity has promised for the last 5 years 😮 But, no virtualized-geometry, unified renderer, or the rumored new RTGI "Lumen-like" lighting system. 😔 #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d discussions.unity.com/t/unity-6-2-...

Combat mechanics w/ stealth, cover & strafing are starting to come together... you'll have to excuse the dev test environment 😅 #gamedev #indiegame #indiegamedev

Dealing with weapon clipping in a 3rd person controller is a whole other ballgame than dealing with it in a 1st person controller

Coming back to look at some piece code after a few weeks. #gamedev

1990 Boomer angst: DBASE III, DOS, Quattro Pro 2025 Millennial angst: SafeTensors, LoRA, Diffusers Just because people hate it, doesn't mean it's going to go away.

I still think it’s BS that Luke force projected himself to death. Like… what? #starwars

Some classics from yesteryear

Finally implemented the cover to shoot gameplay mechanic with a two-handed rifle, on top of motion matching w/ IK, with procedural recoil, and camera driven cinemachine (no auto-aim). #indiegamedev #madewithunity

In case you're busy and missed the email like I did... State of Unreal on June 3rd, 9:30am EDT www.youtube.com/live/AjikvaR... #gamedev #indiegamedev

Starfighter, Pilot, Cyborg

Going to try spatial IK today to fix a nagging issue w/ the left hand IK weight for position and rotation for the rifle has been problematic w/ timing in the various states (arm/disarm/reload/aim/idle/walk/run/crouch) #gamedev

Unity C# Switch case statements can take multiple labels, like enums so you don't have to nest statements: case (Movement.Idle, WeaponMgr.WeaponSelected.Rifle): break; case (Movement.Walk, WeaponMgr.WeaponSelected.Rifle): break; #indiegamdev #unitytips

Rigidbodies can be expensive to use in Unity, but for some use cases, you can cheat. An example is the jiggle of equipment on a character's back as they run. Use GameObjectRecorder to record the transforms to anim clips, remove Rb's then use animator to replay as needed. #indiegamedev #unitytips

Here is your regular reminder that if you just want to see games coming out from people who self publish, here is this feed I made. Anyone I add to the list can comment and add to it, and I update it almost every day with new games announced or releasing. bsky.app/profile/did:... #indiegamedev

Star Tours (1987): RX-24, aka Captain Rex, art & foam sculpt by Disney Imagineer Chris Runco

It probably doesn't know how to work a tablesaw... 😑

Trying to figure out why FinalIK's solver for SetIKPosition introduces jitter if you lerp and update the position every frame but if you just assign a transform and lerp the move no jitter... 🤔 Not sure I want to bother Pärtel Lang w/ it since I've got a workaround #unity #gamedev

The sad part about putting really nice looking water into a game is that most players run right past it 😞 #indiegamedev #madewithunity

Focused. #3dartist #scifi #conceptart

Unity tip: Use Invoke or InvokeRepeating instead of coding multiple timer loops with bool’s. Pro Tip: You can increment enum variables making 3-way toggles much easier: fooEnum++; #gamedev #unitytips

A few random things from my sci-fi/fantasy portfolio...

Time for a #PortfolioDay! Im Nicolas, a concept artist/AD for the movie and game industry. Scifi is my jam!

Hi @portfolioday.bsky.social !! 👋 I'm cloverme a solo indie game dev currently working on Age of Rust, a stealth sci-fi action adventure game. Wishlist: store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/age-... #indiegamedev #gamedev #PortfolioDay #madewithunity

Vertical beam climbing WIP for Age of Rust... now just need to figure out some foley sounds for climbing and sliding 🤔 #indiegamedev #gamedev

It's been a while since I've pushed this, so let's do it. I have a feed for major updates of self published games. It's powered by a list, and list people can put things in the feed with tags. Also, I reply to posts and add them to the feed every morning. bsky.app/profile/did:... #indiegamedev

Art showcase ✌️ Some sci-fi stuff of mine over the years. #scifi #SciFiArt #fanart

If the news is feeling overwhelming, use the timed keyword mute to give your brain a brief break. It’s under Settings - Moderation - Muted Words & Tags. This is a marathon, not a sprint. Taking care of your mental health now means you’ll have energy to keep fighting later
