Added different sounds for if the ball collides hard or soft. Also randomized the pitch a little to make the sound more dynamic. #indiedev #gamedev

I had to visualise losing in a pool game I'm working on, whilst remaining distinct from the imagery of the main game. In the end I came up with a Billiards room lamp blinking out, with the last blink sound pitched downwards. Bit abstract but hopefully it gets the message across!😅 #gamedev #indiegame

Screenshot of the first nine tables of Trickshot. Will release more over time when I'm done adding more mechanics to the game. Theme is pool meets pinball so there's a lot to work with! #indiegame #gamedev

Finished the main menu of my game. Features a fully playable pool table! #indiedev #gamedev

Another day, another Trickshot level complete! I tried to introduce the enemies to the player in an intuitive way by placing them in between the player and their objective. This forces them to interact with the enemies and hopefully figure out the mechanics through experience. #gamedev #indiegame

You don't want to know how many tries it took to get this shot for the trailer 😆 #indiedev #gamedev (Trickshot - Pool meets Pinball!)

Added bumpers to Trickshot. It's finally starting to live up to the 'Pool meets Pinball' tagline! #gamedev #indiegame

I've been writing some Unity tutorials for my website based around recreating mechanics from popular games. Do you guys have any games in particular you'd like me to cover? #unity3d #gamedev

Considering options for supporting mods in an upcoming Unity project. Anyone out there with experience of such things? Would appreciate any sage wisdom you could impart! #indiedev

Been thinking about how to fix the 'mono stat' problem in RPGs i.e why level anything other than int as a mage, str as a warrior etc? Are there any games you guys know of which solved this issue well? #gamedesign

Broken Relic - Final Demo: First day on the job. You broke a seal, unleashed a dark power, and may have doomed everyone. sandpenguin.itch.io/broken-relic...

Always wanted to take part in a Game Jam but have never done anything like it before. Any veterans have advice for a first timer 😃? #indiedev #gamejam

Been updating the frameworks of my sites recently. Almost done, then the blogs / tutorials will be back up. Thanks for your patience!

The verdict is still out on whether I love or hate Bootstrap 5...

Here's the design for the Unity tutorial site I'm working on. I went for a magazine / newspaper aesthetic. what do you guys think? 😊 #gamedev #unity3d

Been doing a lot of web dev lately, hoping to find time to work on Trickshot soon. On the bright side, I'll have a Unity tutorial site launching soon specialising in replicating popular video game mechanics! First one will focus on the blink ability from Dishonored so look forward to that!

Added bumpers to Trickshot. It's finally starting to live up to the 'Pool meets Pinball' tagline! #gamedev #indiegame

Me right now

Haven't had much time to develop Trickshot due to work but I promise I'll have an update in the next few days. Stay tuned!

Today I aim to answer the question, what happens when you cross pool with pinball?🤔 (video is from my upcoming game, Trickshot!) #indiegame #gamedev #madewithunity

Found these pics while clearing out my SSDs. They're all that's left from a side project I was working on before my hard drive failed 😭. A game where you line up a shot and try to hit every enemy at once. A bit like Kirby's Dream Course. Anyone else have projects they lost close to completion?

What's your Unity Layout look like? I'm a two screen enjoyer myself. #Unity #gamedev #indiedev

Day 1 patches be like, "I got you"

Don't get too hung up fixing bugs in development. Better to have a finished game with a few bugs than a half finished game with no bugs!

Managed to pull myself away from Oblivion just long enough to add destructible enemies to Trickshot! Wasn't sure what appearance to give them so I went with something vaguely chess piece-like. Do you think it works? #gamedev #indiegame

Don't expect any updates from me for a few days

Please let the April 21st Oblivion Remaster release date rumour be true 🙏

Been brainstorming ideas for my next project. Was thinking rogue-like, 2D Zelda inspired dungeon crawler. (1/2)

Made the splash screen for Candlewax Games 🤩. Interested to see yours if you wanna post it below! #gamedev #indiedev

Wanted to share a funny bug I encountered 😅. Should I make it a future hardcore mode? (Might need fast reactions!) Any bugs you guys want to share? I promise I won't judge! #gamedev #indiegame

They're multiplying! #indiegame #gamedev

It's been a productive couple of days! #indiegame #gamedev

Post your game's unique selling point below and I'll give it the Candlewax Games Official Rating™! (No cash equivalent) #gamedev #indiedev

I miiight be cooking something #indiedev #gamedev

What ever happened to Unity's Project Tiny? It looked so promising!

Finally got my circular health / mana bars done! Plus a little animation for when the player levels up. Unity's particle system doesn't work on the UI so I had to animate it manually😩. Feel free to reply with any fancy UI stuff you guys have been working on! #gamedev #indiedev

Idea for browser game site: pick from a bunch of screenshots which seamlessly transition into the game at the point it was captured. Same game could appear more than once at different points. Idea is short term distraction, no need to track progress or play from start each time. Thoughts?

Finally finished the camera controller for a project I'm working on. Features both 1st and 3rd person perspectives with full body presence for the former! #gamedev #indiedev

Been feeling nostalgic for the old browser game days, anyone know any good options for making web based games that run natively? Bonus points if it works on mobile!

I went way too long without knowing you can lock the Inspector window in Unity...
