OK I think I solved the song I was working on. This is Lunar Horizon. Just need to expand it now that I figured out the sound. #VGM #gamedev #indiedev

Something sounds dissonant idk. #vgm #gamedev #indiedev

Off To the Derby #vgm #gamedev #indiedev

After tears, sweats, swears and sleepless nights, the next fest demo update is live! #indiegame #indiedev #metroidvania #boomershooter #madewithgodot #NextFest #SteamNextFest

Some concepts for racing game character designs. Miss Mach 10 in the "Electric Relay" and Rickshaw in the "Hypersonic Clanker". #gamedev #indiedev

THREAD OF ALL MY GAMES hello! I'm ben/yemáko/badgames.zip and I make indie games🎮 you can click on this post to see a thread of all my games, updated whenever I release something. or you can check my developer pages below! steam: store.steampowered.com/developer/ba... itchio: badgameszip.itch.io

Trying my hand at SNES music for a little side project. #gamedev #indiedev #vgm

I've done enough moping. Anyways, Rosie's Rampage is going on a brief hiatus until the NextFest after this one. We set up the store-page wrong, which was entirely our faults. The demo is 90% finished and will eventually be released. In the meantime, we will be working on a little side project.

Oh god please don't tell me when uploading a demo build that it requires a second store review. Am I screwed? The demo isn't even eligible for Nextfest?!? #gamedev #indiedev #godot

We are submitting a (kind of buggy) build for the content review, and will be working tirelessly the next two weeks to clean it up for Nextfest. #godot #gamedev #indiedev

Pergamon - Demo now on Steam. Check out the starting areas, power-ups, weapons, and a solid boss fight—then wishlist the full game for release alerts and help a small indie team like us keep building this wild vision! Every wishlist means the world. store.steampowered.com/app/4051330/...

Tracked a bug back to a single line of code. Turns out that line was causing two other bugs on our bug list. Best feeling ever! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Holo-Janitor #gamedev #indiedev #godot

A question for all of my fellow devs. Does each build for a demo require a review on Steam, or does it only need one. I'm trying to figure out how close to Nextfest I can upload my final build (after the first review build). #gamedev #indiedev #steam #godot

Things are shaping up! Working on a cut-scene with this guy #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Using my Windows 7 PC is making me realize steam was a mistake. Would be nice to have some GOG style DRM free games about now. Guess I'mma rebuy some stuff on GOG then.

I've fallen in love with Windows... 7 Building a Windows 7 gaming machine out of old part and the OS is just incredible. It stays out of my way and just works. Driver installations are spotty though.

In godot, is there a way without baking to only render out shadows once for static objects? Or even, a way to otherwise reduce shadow updates? #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Working on the new VR Room section. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Have you seen this rampaging lunatic? #gamedev #indiedev #godot Wishlist 🔽: store.steampowered.com/app/3983580/...

Ok, time to work on Rosie today, but I will keep this project in my back pocket. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Spent a couple of hours doing a little F-Zero style test. Just 3 composited Sub-Viewports, a basic track model, and some material offset math. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I had no idea animating things was so hard and so time consuming. Of course, I had an idea, but not at this level. I hope I'll get better and quicker at it otherwise, I'll be releasing the game in a while. #gamdev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #majorupdate #godot #feedback #animation #drawing

Do y'all ever get anxious that your game is going to be a flop? Couldn't be me... 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Grinding out the cutscenes before the Nextfest Demo! #godot #gamedev #indiedev Wishlist Below 🔽 store.steampowered.com/app/3983580/...

Tubular! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Not nearly as fancy as the attempted Cutscence tool we (mostly) got working in the past, but here is the much simpler brute force cutscene manager. We just manually plot it out by sequence and trigger the node when the cutscene needs to activate. There is text code above #godot #indiedev #gamedev

It's astounding how much audio brings the feel of polish to a game. Will share soon! #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Working on the Bouncer Objects (forgive the visual glitches). #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Some neat visuals here!

So now that graphics cards and RAM are just stupid priced, will modern AAA devs makes small games again? Ocarina of Time remains one of the best games ever made, graphics do not matter. #gamedev #indiedev

Animation trees get so messy so quickly on playable characters. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Going to lean more into squash an stretch animation. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #blender

DEMO RELEASE The Devilry Reservation 2 (Episode I) 📢 The Devilry Reservation 2: Immerse yourself in the mystical atmosphere of Slavic folklore and post-Soviet aesthetics. Run from the system. #pixelart #indiegame #gamedev Now on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/4253520/

I wish there were more, vibrantly active, open source arena shooters. OpenArena slaps, but nobody plays it anymore.

I know I am ranting a lot about performance recently, but the goal is to make the minimum spec as low as possible for wide accessibility. Ideally, any decade old integrated GPU will be able to play the game well at 60fps+ #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I will unleash so much more content!!!

Debating whether to use the Mobile or Forward+ Renderer in Godot. The only features we would be missing with our workflow is volumetric fog (minor) and TAA. Would losing TAA for only FXAA and MSAA be worth it for the 30% performance differential to you? #godot #gamedev #indiedev

WOAH. Finally got around to using my Chunk Rendering system in the actual game, and boy howdy did it shoot performance up. ATM (with no enemies placed in the level, so there will be more overhead), I am getting 1000 fps at 1080p on an RTX 3060. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #blender

Rosie's Rampage is now open to wishlist on Steam! Thank you all for your support, allowing us to get this far. Please like and repost if you want to help make this game a reality. As always, we are grateful 🙏 #godot #gamedev #indiedev #videogames store.steampowered.com/app/3983580/...

We heavily refactored Rosie's code. About 20 man hours, but the restructuring allowed us to fix some pretty annoying bugs. We also reduced it from 2000 lines to about 400. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Was making a custom timer system using total physics frames since game boot in godot. Was worried about overflowing a signed 64 bit integer... Apparently it would take 5 billion years 🤯 #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Rosie's Rampage is officially registered for the February Nextfest! Apparently you didn't actually need the store presence to be eligible, It just needs to be set up (even if review is pending). It DOES need to be live before the event though. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

I about lost it at some poor lady at the counter being super pushy about me giving her all of my data for a gift card purchase. Then I remembered its not her fault, but come on. Can't wait to be added to a couple of dozen email newsletters.

Got done with the steam page art. #gamedev #indiedev #blender #godot

How long did it take you all to get your steam store presence approved. I just uploaded and want to be reassured that I can make Nextfest by January 5th. #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Settings UI is finalized and had working saving/loading for the demo. Thought it would be helpful to explain settings for the non nerds. #gamedev #indiedev #godot
