Added a small tweak to the terrain generation - fetch all static objects in the scene and deform the mesh upwards slightly to make it look more sandy #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Got quite fed-up with the state of Terrain3D and the lack of fine-grained mesh editing so rolled my own procgen terrain At the moment it's just a flat plane n x n which creates its own collision shape but next step will be to apply noise #indiedev #gamedev #godot

@tcbasche.bsky.social oops I broke it

The natural programmer evolution is a greyboxing tool to draw a path and automagically fill it in with wall objects😆 #indiedev #godot #3d

This is what peak level-design looks like. A hand-drawn map overlay onto the world and then checkerbox cubes denoting walls #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Second pass of the companion computer #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Currently redesigning the crafting station and of course it needs a little screen with pixelated eyes that follow the player like some deranged octorok Mona Lisa #indiedev #gamedev #godot #3d

Made some low-poly limestone How's your Monday going #indiedev #gamedev #godot #blender #3d

Threw together this very simple player model based off an underwater videography drone. It's the beginning of a series of iterations, as it doesn't have much in the way of character yet and screams free turbosquid asset lol #indiedev #gamedev #godot #3d

I'm still here! Been spending a lot of time working out the stylistic details and familiarising myself with texture baking, UV mapping etc. but I think I have a good starting point at least. Gonna put myself up in a cabin for a week and come out with a demo soon #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Bed time! oh my, and look what's grown! #indiedev #gamedev #godot #procgen

Doesn't look half bad now - full day and night cycle with a dynamic environment #indiedev #gamedev #godot #3d

It might not look like much, but the water caustics are now occluded by objects above them 🤯 This is entirely within the same screen-space shader and is a little bit fiddly but it gets the job done #godot #shaders #3d #indiedev #gamedev

Day night cycle is coming along now... I really like that you can easily add colour gradients and curves in the Godot editor - makes tweaking things like fog and glow super easy :✨ #gamedev #indiedev #godot

Testing out the procedural reef generation. It's a little more satisfying than I thought to watch it grow in real time... #indiedev #gamedev #godot #procgen

Woo, a big ol' POSITIVE there. It was a fun project (that was great for curing my tech job burnout) and super cool that people actually enjoy a thing I made and poured so much of myself into! store.steampowered.com/app/3684910/... #indiedev #gamedev #steam #indiegames #pinball

Currently working on making Actually Good solitaire card games for mobile. This means I am working on must-have features such as: cards that wiggle excitedly when they are about to move. #solitaire #indiedev #indiegame

FLY2K just passed 500 wishlists hours before release! It might not be a lot when compared to the apparent 10,000 needed to ba a "commercial success", but its something i built from nothing and 500 people decided they wanted to come along for the ride. Thank you all so so much❤️ 🦋 #indiedev

One step closer to a playable core loop - now able to spit out the processed material I'm using inherited scenes for the materials and I'm wondering if I will later regret that. #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Added the ability to eject vacuumed up stuff 🫧💨 (The sound effects are living proof you don't need AI to generate placeholders!) #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Underwater cleaning bot continues their hard work Currently working on the core loop - removing all the 'dirt' from each section of the map, compacting down the materials and using those to create better cleaning tools! #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Racing game took a hard pivot. Underwater trash cleanup. Wow, environmental statement! In this video below I'm working on the vacuum mechanic. aaand finally saying a (perhaps not so fond) farewell🫡 to Unity and embracing the new world order of Godot 🤖 #godot #indiedev #gamedev

Added the required-by-arcade-racing-law finish line cutscene (also noticed this bug just now where you come first after losing?!) #indiedev #gamedev

Mysteries of Old Tokyo, my debut game, is in Steam Next Fest, starting right now! It's a detective adventure puzzler set in Tokyo, with reams of historical research. Add to your wishlist! Try the demo! #indiegames #steam #demos

Best one I’ve heard is good promotion is telling others about your game so you stop annoying your partner with your excitement about it

Doing some camera work + boosting this evening Not sure I'm happy with the golden bubbles - maybe the classic "hoop" or arrows on the track? #indiedev #gamedev

I have been using Unity now for *YEARS* and still every time I setup some collision or trigger volumes, spend a lot of time tripping over myself debugging why on earth it doesn't work the first go. #gamedev #indiedev #unity

Added some rudimentary engine sounds. Not super happy with it yet, but the doppler effect is pretty neat I'll need to spend some time in front of Logic Pro to work it out myself rather than this random synth snippet I found online. #indiedev #gamedev #sounddesign

Made a neat "end of race" follow cam. One of the fun things is dynamically swapping out the player controls for the enemy AI controller once you cross the finish line. It reminds me like in Mario Kart when suddenly your character is bad at racing lol #indiedev #gamedev

Getting closer to an aesthetic and overall design goals ... I think "F-Zero but underwater" has a real VIBE to it and so much potential for cool environments #indiedev #gamedev

Sounds like my Samsung monitor which * has a solar powered remote (I live in the sub-arctic) which is required to exit the home screen * which the monitor INSISTS I visit after it does some random flickering * which happens a few times a day until I unplug it and plug it back in again

Kinda mesmerising watching these folks race by themselves What about a game where you spectate races 🤣 #indiedev #gamedev

Been working on some rudimentary enemy AI for whatever this is. Getting into some really heavy code now ... #indiedev #gamedev

Hey neat, I won this game jam ✨ itch.io/jam/prizes-w... #gamedev #indiedev

I think this prototype might be the thing I latch onto, it's got both key qualities of fun to develop and REALLY fun to play #indiedev #gamedev

Got the springy mag-lev thing working and this is actually so much fun #indiedev #gamedev

Gravity, who needs it #indiedev #gamedev

Replacing the fancy wave / buoyancy system with a raycast spring method Now testing the bounciness by spawning some companion spheres #indiedev #gamedev

Picking up a (very) early prototype on an F-Zero type race concept. There's a fancy buoyancy / wave simulation under the hood keeping the "car" from touching the ground so when it touches other cars, objects etc. it should behave more like a hover car ✨ #indiedev #gamedev

I made a thing for a game jam. It's a 90's adventure-game-inspired point and click where you scan the airwaves looking for survivors in a post-apocalyptic world. Fun twist at the end. Doesn't take long to finish ✌️ tombasche.itch.io/pinpoint #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev

Fallout 3 and Tron Legacy have the exact same plot

Woltin omistajista tuli miljonäärejä, mutta kenen kustannuksella? ”Tämä on nykypäivän orjuutta”

The progress so far for this game jam entry. It's been a fun lesson in sound design, mood-setting and conveying information through the environment. #indiedev #gamedev

🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️pop 🕯️ 🕯️ 🕯️

Don't Gossip #indiedev #gamedev

Got a nice mood going. Chopin always adds some frivolity #indiedev #gamedev

Entered a game jam last minute The theme is Wasteland / Radio Communications. This is a couple hours of ideation, setup and blocking out a scene. Let's see what the weekend brings. #indiedev #gamedev
