Mercury's base once had a more blocky design... more akin to it's appearance in Unit Down Charge. I don't know exactly why I redesigned it. I liked this version. Also those guys be MOVIN'!

NOOOO. I ALWAYS WIN. I ALWAYS WIN. I ALWAYS WIN. I ALWAAAAAS WIIIIIN!!! *PhhhQqq!* PhhhQqq!* *PhhhQqq!* Do-Do-Do-DoDooooooo... Doo!

Did you know the Enemy Captains in the original Unit Down game had high-poly fully rigged models? They are never shown in-game, so I don't know why I ever made them. 😅

10 years ago, Unit Down was going to be an Isometric strategy game, with controlled battle sequenaces. The concept was neat, but proved too hard to merge the two completely different genre's in a satisfying way. #indiegame #indiedev

I know this isn't related to gamedev but I HAD to share! Thanks to a kind soul, my Neopets Lord Kass gallery now has one of the rarest items of him! I AM SO HAPPY YOU HAVE NO IDEA AHHHH!

Did you know Deon used to be a bunny in Unit Down? Also, the base used to have dialogue in this version. Don't know why I dropped that.

12 yeas ago I made an "Intro Cutscene" for Unit Down, back when it was going to be a Metroidvania. It's... rough. But instead of hiding it, I'll share with ya'll so you can see that after 12 years, I'm still the same! XD #indiegame #indiedev #Ithoughtthiswasgoodonce

I think I know what I'm doing for my next game.

ok here's the other two lmao

Did you know, Unit Down originally started as a Metroidvania game? I don't know how the game evolved into a Cabal-Shooter. Found an old archive, will probably post old prototype vids throughout the week.

played unit down charge, it's cinema and YOU MUST PLAY IT TOO! (it's on steam) it's kinda like star fox but on the ground. try it or i'll activate the satellite beam on YOU. #unitdown

In the new game mode, enemies explode into coins now. As one would expect. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Posted a point, and a person tried to insult me by insinuating I'm gay, instead of, idk, conversing? When I told them calling a gay guy "gay" isnt an insult... they blocked me. XD Internet is a funny place.

Finished making all the "Survival Mode" stages in Unit Down Charge! Just gotta update the lighting, and refine a lil' bit! 😅 Each stage will be randomly chosen for you to fight in this mode; Abort anytime, but the longer you stay in the stage, the better your rewards!

My Hobkin Praise and Kuroh from the Unit Down game sharing a song together. This image has been stuck in my head ever since I played Unit Down Charged. Glad I got it down on paper :D #unitdown #unitdowncharged #fanart #paperart #traditionalart #traditionalartwork

Was testing the new gamemode, and I wanted to see what it felt like to have absolutely 0 upgrades (shouldn't happen) and... It is awful omg. He is so SLOW! Can't even decide if I should change this so the upgrades feel more impactful, but AHHH!

Sometimes when I'm testing my game for a new thing I forget what I am testing for and play for an extended time before suddenly remembering what I was doing and then having to restart and find that thing I was originally testing for.

Got the Highscore WOOT WOOT www.twitch.tv/rexstrider/c... #Indiegames #UnitDownCharge #UnitDown #Rad #Dino #HIGHSCORE ## ### #Hashtag WOO

OH!! Hello! How can I convince them to give me this card because I need it.

The #Simpleflips inspired challenge stage in my game. It's called Yo Waddup in the bonus stage select... and runs at 2x speed because I can't add BLJ into my game. First 10 people to send me a DM with any reference/meme related to Mr Simple will get a free Steam Key to the game.

Im being less subtle about my Neopets obsession.

AHHHH!!! I just pulled an Alt Lord Darigan from a random Neopets pack!!! This is the single most expensive card I've ever pulled from any card game, ever.

I'm really proud of this layout for the free update coming soon... so Im sharing the behind the scenes again. Also T-Poses! #indie #furry #lowpoly #scifi #indiegame

My favorite thing about Smash 64 is that the story was SO freaking good. The idea that it's just "toys" and some kid's imagination, and his hand as the ultimate lifeform... like come on! ...And it didn't even have to explain it. You just understood.

❄️❄️❄️ My game is 25% off during the Steam Winter Sale! And don't forget the free Survival Mode update will be coming soon too! It's just a lot of work. :O store.steampowered.com/app/2509660/...

I really wanna make a Unit Down PvP spinoff game, but the idea of creating the framework for online play for a game that'll have 1 concurrent players sounds daunting enough to discourage all further thought on the concept lmao

Some of you may have recognized the voice of Luigikid in Unit Down Charge... ... And you'd be right! 😀 He was a guest voice for the scientist that aided Dr Aura in the creation of the Bio Units. Honored to have had the #execommunity legend himself be a part of the game!

A few years ago I was going to make a FireEmblem-styled RPG where you played as the monsters instead. No idea what happened to that idea... but I found some of the sprites!

Shoutout to the one guy in Switzerland that bought my game. This now means my game has been played in 10 different countries and idk that is just really cool to think about.

For the Survival Mode update, all buttons are diegetic and are in the 3D world, instead of an on-screen UI. Also ignore the music, I listen to Sonic remixes when I program and aint about to turn it off for recording.

I am older than the original Star Fox for the SNES. Idk if that has any importance but its a fun fact I found out today.

Did you know 3D models do NOT like being in this pose?

I am thankful for all the cool peeps that continue to support my indie game endeavors, both from my EXE years, as well as my current shenanigans. Ya'll mean a lot to me! ❤️ ... Have a video of a bird. He is not a turkey.

Can now randomly generate chips and place them! Sorry progress has been slow... this was a lot easier in 2D when I made the first game, lmao.

First come first serve. Enjoy ♥️

Finally have progress worth showing off! I thought this part would be the easiest to make... turns out no, no it was really really hard. 😅

Neopets just casually dropped the best update ever with giving daily rewards for playing or reading to your Neopet. There's finally a reason to interact with these features why did it take this long lmao.

I'm finally gonna do it. It's been over a month, I've been offputting playing this game for long enough at this point. The reviews will just have to wait - It's time to Unit Down Charge! @properdev.bsky.social

At my work we do same-day mugs now. So I got one.

Oh I got my first refund! Idk why but this puts my brain at ease, is that weird?

Played the second (and last) level of the Unit Down Charge demo this morning~ I really am getting Fox/Falco/Slippy vibes from these three and I'm here for it. XD

i'm having writer's block on the unit down review so i think i will simply play unit down charge now and make it later. in anticipation, here's a few clips i have of the original unit down. i really do like this game

Here, have a horribly compressed preview of how the new Chip System will work in my game!

"Your games were my childhood" is a comment on my trailer video and now I feel like I aged 30 more years.

It makes me happy to see my first release being played. It took me 9 years to make, so I have a big ol' soft spot for it ^.^

FINALLY! It broke me but I did it! It was really cool game! It's an honour to have its developer following me and being a fellow Star Fox fan 🫡 I'll do a quick mini review below ⬇️

A quick picture I drew on the Tablet sometime ago. Haven't gotten around to editing it, so I'll just post it so it doesn't go to waste! #unitdown #unitdowncharged #fanart #silly #funny #comedy

Since it was on sale it's finally time I try it! 🫡

All my games are now in a Bundle deal on Steam! 15% off all three games (about $15 together), and if you have any of them you can get the rest with the discount. ^.^ store.steampowered.com/bundle/60146...
