Configurable enemy spawner! Tell it which enemy, how many, and how far from the spawner to put them. Pretty simple for a dev tool but it gets the job done. #indiegamedev #godot #indiegame #gamedev

If the sheep sees you, it'll chase you down, wherever you go...until you get too far away, and it starts the long walk home. #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #n64 #lowpoly

Critter Drifters is OUT on Steam! You can play it! On Windows or Linux or Steamdeck! Right now!! Or you know...whenever you want to. I'm just glad I can finally let people play the whole thing. store.steampowered.com/app/3755680/... #godot #gamedev #indiedev #steam #CritterDrifters

Need to know when you're in the sheep's "cone" of vision? Check the dot product of the sheep-to-pig Vector3 and the sheep-forward Vector3. If it's above 0.7 then it "sees" you! Apologies, high school teachers, I *am* using trig in real life. #indiegame #indiegamedev #godot #n64

My sheep enemy goes between idling and wandering in random directions, but whenever it leaves its home area, it'll turn back toward the center (10x speed) #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Pretty happy with the sleep sheep's running animation! The flailing floppy arms will be very intimidating when it chases you down. #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Something's up with this sheep, it doesn't look too friendly #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Been busy with Hades 2 and Silksong, but still working on #gamedev! Added three punches and a belly bash, and the bash can come out in the air if you're not going too fast. Also forgot to disable bash-mashing, so he Kirby-floats lol #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Who wore it better?

HE ROLLS. Added a second model instead of just making him curl up. Wasn't sure how the model-swapping would look but with the "scrunch", "aerial unscrunch", and "idle unscrunch" animations, I think it looks pretty good! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Something's off about this dive-roll animation but I can't put my finger on it #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

We have all the collectibles now! Talisman, moon token, and...golden coffee bean? What could they all be for? 👀 #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Been having a lot of fun pretending I'm making Donkey Kong Country (turning 3D models into 2D sprites). I also updated the moon token colors to stand out from the background better. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Been cooking all weekend on a collectibles and a HUD! Only moon tokens are modeled so far, the others (and the font) are placeholders. Took a while to polish the single vs group sliding. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

That's it? That's the lost episode? That was just a bunch of cheap walk cycles!

Various bits of polish: - dust trails when he starts/stops running, turns sharply, or jumps/lands - skidding on his heels if he stops from a sprint - stretching when he jumps, squashing when he lands #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Been debating for a while which approach to use to make him lean into turns, weighing pros/cons, mildly stressing about it in the background for weeks while working on other features. LookAtModifier3D. Easy. 5 minutes. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

One line stuck out to me in the interview with Team Cherry “What is Jira?” God I wish that were me lol

Welcome to my playthrough team, Victreebel, this design is great haha

Very productive stream yesterday (forgot to post about going live 😬), he can jump, double jump, and fall now! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Kirby Air Riders looks SO GOOD

Updates, it's coming along! - Fixed dingy colors - Idle/walk/run animation blending - Character controller runs on a state machine now (jumps and double-jumps work too, but aren't animated yet) - Added input buffer for jumps #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Been REALLY busy the last few weeks refinishing my deck and camping, but I’m back on the game dev grind and I’m real close to having something post-worthy 👀 #godot #indiegamedev

It's not just good, it's good *enough* Still planning on him leaning into turns, haven't looked into it yet but I'm imagining I'll make a "lean left" and "lean right" version of the run cycle and just have him shift to those while he turns? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Stuck in that feeling where you’re new to #blender modeling and animation, but one of the first things you have to make is your game’s main character, and you have to balance knowing it’ll be 100% replaced when you’re better at it but still wanting to put a lot of effort into it

🔴 Firing up a stream to do some animation for my game's main character! Stream link in the first comment #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

He gettin' his bones put in. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

❗WARNING: CHALLENGER APPROACHING ❗ Capsule-with-nose was a fun temp character model, but its time is limited! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #blender #n64

Going live for a bit, planning on working on fine-tuning some physics and maybe making a rudimentary menu system, come hang! Does Bluesky have a similar "the algo with suppress any post with a link in it" thing like the other site does? I have no idea, so link to the stream is in the next comment!

Now that the fixed-angle camera is functional, I’ve been working to add a first-person view! Enter it with up on the right stick, it locks character movement, and you can then look around with the left stick. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #n64

Flapjack got groomed and knows he gets treats after

New favorite coffee table book, super nostalgic and inspiring for retro game dev, @bitmapbooks.com knocked it out of the park!

If only I could see how the branches are laid out and jump high enough to reach them…OH WAIT WHAT’S THAT? Added camera zoom levels and a double jump on stream last night! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #n64

Added a fixed-angle camera! Feels more authentically "N64" to me than a free-moving right-stick camera, like using C-buttons. When pressing left on the stick, would you expect the camera to move clockwise or counterclockwise? #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #n64

Abolish ICE

Brrr… 🧊 Do you feel that? That’s the cold front of the #GodotEngine 4.5 feature freeze (beta) just around the corner. We still have some days to wrap up new features, and this new dev snapshot is fire 🔥 visionOS support, shader baker, WebAssembly SIMD, and more! godotengine.org/article/dev-...

Figured out a pretty good solution to accurately recreate the video output of an N64! The game renders at 320x240 in a SubViewport with antialiasing, then is scaled up to 640x480 in the project settings. Gives it that good N64 *fuzz*. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #godot #n64

Getting the process down for making N64-style models in Blender and importing them into Godot! Complete with texture blending and vertex color shadows. #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot #blender

So did *anyone* get a Switch 2 email from Nintendo yet? Everyone I’ve seem talking about their preorders online got them through retailers.

CONFIRMED Best Buy has a working virtual queue to buy a Switch 2 🫡

My conspiracy theory is that Bluesky’s “Show less like this” button doesn’t actually tell its algorithm anything except “hey this guy interacted with this post, maybe he likes it and wants to see more”

Still one of the best movies ever made. I was super happy to see it in probably the highest quality it’ll ever be!

I count 24 starting positions 👁️👁️ #MarioKart

Without a title drop, I’m still assuming this is Mario Kart 8 in some way. Mario Kart 8 2? Mario Kart 8 Deux-luxe, if you will?

Oh, the misery

Finished Arcane arc 2

Oops Scizor saw you hiding in the bush

I’ve been looking for a shiny Meditite for YEARS

I’ve been busy! Opened an Etsy for Pokemon emote packs, featuring Pikachu, Eevee, Togepi, Gengar, and more, including custom orders! The shop’s called PhyokeArt, link in bio

Beefy crunch burrito, oh how I’ve missed you
