THEY DID IT

Hello! Allumeria is a mash up of sandbox action RPG games like Terraria, mixed with the 3d world of Minecraft. Packed with HUNDREDS of items, advanced building tools, multiplayer and workshop support. Play the playtest now! store.steampowered.com/app/3516590/... #PitchYaGame #indiegame #gamedev

Please give this game a shot if you liked Pocket Frogs. I had fun playing the demo during Next Fest

Allumeria 0.11 is out! It adds a new fishing system with 17 fish to collect. Theres a fishing minigame, 5 different baits, 3 different rods, 2 new potions, a new water shader, seaweed, elevators and packed dirt. #gamedev #indiedev store.steampowered.com/news/app/394...

The 0.10 Halloween Update for Allumeria is out now! Pumpkin carving, signs, autumnal forests, ambient effects, dynamic lighting, and big performance improvements. Join the playtest and check it out! #gamedev #indiedev #majorupdate store.steampowered.com/news/app/394...

Nearly finished 0.10, I want to have it out in time for halloween. I've been adding some small visual effects to make the world feel more alive. Also introduced sub-biomes with different colours and foliage. Really happy with it :) #gamedev #indiedev

Currently working on signs and text rendering. I wanna make my sign system really flexible and customisable. Different sign shapes, font sizes, colours etc. Just got the text positioning working correctly, going to work on colour and light. #gamedev #indiedev

Everyone check out this other block game that has popped up recently. Looks really cool and I love the direction it's going in!

Accidentally broke my renderer yesterday, but it ended up producing some really cool glitch art. #gamedev #indiedev

Finally implemented better support for community translation in 0.9.5. People have been making translations for a while so I wanted to make sure they could see their hard work in the game. Still a lot of work to go before it is perfect, but it's a start :) #gamedev #indiedev

Incredible artwork of the forest spirit by Gen'ural in the Allumeria discord. Thanks so much! It's amazing to see people already making fan art for my janky little game :) #gamedev #indiedev #art

0.9 is out RIGHT NOW!!! This time around I didn't get to edit a trailer in time, but will hopefully make one soon :) unobtainablemelon.itch.io/allumeria #gamedev #indiedev #majorupdate

I'm on track to releasing Allumeria 0.9 on the weekend! This will be the last major version of the alpha available for free on itch, so don't miss your chance to grab it :) Will be moving to Steam playtesting for 0.10. Here's a sneak peek at all the new items! #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Please check out this awesome video Dialko made about my game! It's a long video, but very entertaining. They do a great job at exploring the game's systems, and taking a calm approach to things. #gamedev #indiedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bd6l...

Been spending a lot of time on making a more robust structure system that allows me to save builds I make and then slot them together procedurally. This allows for much bigger, more complex and more detailed dungeons. This is an early version of the snow dungeon coming in 0.9 #gamedev #indiedev

Just upgraded the painting system in Allumeria so that applying paint to a light will also change the colour of the light emitted! Trying to squeeze as much creative freedom out of my game's systems as possible without filling up the inventory with tons of clutter. #gamedev #indiedev #lighting

New mechanic alert! Painting! 🖌️ 🎨Paint ANY block using the new paint roller item, or one of its special variants. Paint can be applied to any block with no limitations. The result can sometimes look wacky, but I want players to have the freedom to use this to their advantage. #gamedev #indiedev

I've been working on overhauling the fluid system in my game. Now all fluids are on a separate "layer" and can pass through any non-solid blocks. You can see that the water is flowing through the tall grass in this screenshot. #gamedev #indiedev

youtu.be/W1y-ZUDG0I4 Played your game and offered the best critique I could lol

Allumeria 0.8 Just Released! Come check it out, I would love to hear your feedback! :) #gamedev #indiedev #majorupdate #update #trailer unobtainablemelon.itch.io/allumeria

Going to be releasing Allumeria 0.8 in a few hours, here's a peek at the world I created for my 0.8 trailer I will be releasing alongside it! #gamedev #indiedev

Releasing 0.8 tomorrow! That means today I am doing a playthrough of the game to check the balance and find any bugs I didn't encounter while developing. #gamedev #indiedev

Preview of the new undergrowth biome coming in 0.8 (this weekend!) #gamedev #indiedev

Took a break from working on the rails to add basketballs and basketball hoops #gamedev #indiedev

I've been working on adding rails and minecarts to allumeria, here I am making sure that minecarts preserve their momentum when flying off of a track #gamedev #indiedev

Want to quit #minecraft but can't find an alternative? Wish you could find a game like #terraria, but in a 3d world? Tired of waiting for #hytale? Check out Allumeria! A new alpha build just dropped that adds a ton of new stuff, and it's free! unobtainablemelon.itch.io/allumeria #gamedev #gaming

Just pushed out another big update for Allumeria! This time I added the first boss fight! There's also new weapons, and new farming mechanics. Check out the trailer to see a quick recap of everything added! #gamedev #indiedev #majorupdate #gaming #terraria #hytale #minecraft youtu.be/pVxmlTsmaeU

Going to release 0.7 on saturday, I'm nearly finished with it :)

The skeleton had to stop and think about that one #gamedev #indiedev (Volume warning in case bluesky messes up the audio like usual)

Working on a boss fight! #gamedev #indiedev #blockbench #bossfight #battle

Working on farming mechanics in Allumeria right now. I really want some interesting systems for the player to experiment with. Here's a sprinkler item that waters crops within a 5x5 area. It triggers automatically, can be hooked up to wires and also looks cool :) #gamedev #indiedev #farming

Just released a fairly substantial update to my game, I'm so happy with it that I even made a video trailer to show off all its features! Download: unobtainablemelon.itch.io/allumeria video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASbe... #gamedev #indiedev #majorupdate #trailer #gaming #minecraft #terraria #update

Working on improving the building tools even more! Now you can pick the shape you want without the hammer, just hold R and select the shape, and any blocks you place will take that form! #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

Blocks can now apply effects to the player when they are stood on. Here is asphalt providing a 25% speed buff when walking on it as an example. #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #voxels

Working on a radial menu for the hammer to make it easier to choose different block shapes. Considering making it so you don't even need the hammer at all, and can choose what shape you want before placing. #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #voxels #minecraft #terraria

Back from my development hiatus and have fixed a bunch of long standing bugs with the game! Check it out: unobtainablemelon.itch.io/allumeria #gamedev #indiedev

Accidentally made a crazy self sustaining dart trap, the darts fall onto pressure plates which spawn in more darts. #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

working on the game again after a two week break, time to mess everything up! #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

I've just spent the last few days completely rewriting the save format for my game. Check out how fast it is to save/load now :D #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #voxels

Working on a basic wiring system so I can hook up traps and mechanical things in dungeons (which I dont think I have shown on bluesky yet) #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

Working on enemies with ranged attacks, here is a wizard shooting arrows for some reason! (Also trying to make it so that they lead their shots based on velocity to make it harder to dodge) #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

mushroom guy and evil skull #blockbench

I just released version 0.4 of Allumeria! It's the biggest update I've released yet, biomes, ranged combat, new enemies, fluid sim, commands, polish, fixes and more. unobtainablemelon.itch.io/allumeria/de... #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #majorupdate #itchio #update #voxels #gaming #indiegame #game

everyone check out this hog i made 🐗 #gamedev #indiedev #graphics #voxels #blockbench #gameart

Finally got around to abstracting the zombie more, so now I can add other enemy types! Here's a skeleton enemy, right now it just copies the zombie AI, but would like to try and make enemies more unique in the future. #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

added shurikens #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

one-shotting zombies from the top of a hill #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

Working on charged shots for bows that do extra damage, fly further and are higher accuracy at the expense of being much slower to shoot.

Got arrow projectiles in, was surprisingly difficult to make the arrow model point the way I wanted it to. Still a lot of work to go to make it feel more like firing a bow too #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels

After a long day, the moon rises in the vast desert #gamedev #indiedev #opengl #opentk #graphics #voxels
