Slippy: Do an Aileron Roll! #indiedev #gamedev #unreal #GryphonGame

Sometimes when you're crashing out about how in the world to start designing flight race tracks you just need a level designer friend to smack you upside the head and tell you to make your gryphon fly through hoops. <3 love you Clover.

I estimated a month to port my project into Unreal from Unity. I completed it in 11 days! aka, the shelf life of a kobold. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #unreal #GryphonGame

I had so much hope for Bloodborne 😭 Not to mention everyone's livelihoods in an already brutal market. Take care of yourselves, everyone. <3

LIFTOFF! This represents two solid weeks of work re-making what I already had in Unity inside Unreal. I have custom ground and flight movement systems featuring tank controls and auto-follow camera with anticipation pan. I'm SO happy! #indiegame #indiedev #unreal #GryphonGame

oh god, oh geez, oh heck. Nope NOPE I am NOT making a motion sickness simulator. #indiedev #indiegame #unreal #gryphongame

Oh no. I've already written a bunch of blueprints like this. I've just realized this is all a bunch of if/then statements and in Unity, I'd favor using a switch statement so I don't have to run through all the options and.. and... oh NO do I already need to refactor my blueprints?!?

Believe it or not, this is great progress! Got a weird mathematical hitch when pitch input tries to move from positive to negative or visa'versa, but that's just one more thing to work on :) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Unreal

The gryphon is in Unreal! (also I finished the pace animation, run is still just keyframes) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #Unreal #GryphonGame

My goal is to recreate what I already had in unity within unreal in a month. I thought it would be doable but challenging. After spending today working on it, I think a month might be more than enough time? Famous last words.

I know I only bought one roll, but this nearly $300 box feels like it should be both larger and much more heavy 😬

I'm rebuilding what I have so far of Gryphon Game in unreal engine. It remains to be seen if I'm making a mistake, but I'll never learn new things if I don't try.

Aaaand now I'm re-writing the speed system in gryphon game because I wasn't happy with it

Thank goodness I've got my ADHD meds back. Makes it POSSIBLE to concentrate, but I don't have the stamina. After intense concentration and development on my game yesterday, today I'm fucking WRECKED. I brained too hard!

It's my codebase and if I wanna fill it with references to the comedic genius of Suzy Eddie Izzard nobody can stop me!

This book fucking rocks. Immaculate vibes and a wonderful feeling of doing your best, despite it all and despite certain failure. It was ultimately cathartic and comforting for me in times such as these.

We got flying, we got flapping, we got a better-behaved camera controller, let's gooooo! #gamedev #indiedev #unity #blender #gryphongame

Okay, that's it. I have a POWERFUL NEED for this wallpaper. It shimmers amazingly in the light. Since the current wall is black, the dark green and gold will be way brighter too!

Lord forgive me, reading this Vermis book has made me experiment with the Forbidden Science (solo roleplaying versions of HIS MAJESTY THE WORM) I have a small playtest up on the Worm discord if you'd like to swing by and check it out

I'm naming my game-making entity Tiny Tiger, after an incident in the first grade when a horrible teacher tried to squash my creativity. I will NOT be squashed, though I may be small and weird!

I FINALLY got my ADHD meds refilled and was SO excited to start them again today, Monday. But then insomnia struck and I got next to no sleep so now instead of excited productivity I'm SO fucking tired, but at least a little focused?

A certain griffin egg we've been carrying throughout our lastest DND sessions finally hatched. Our group named him Hoden. Apparently it means testicle in german. #dmd #dndart #ttrpg

There's a LOT of work to be done. Much more damping. Fix the dang camera. Make some real animations, etc etc. BUT!!! She flyin'! #gamedev #indiedev #Unity #GryphonGame

I assembled a heated house for the outdoor kitties and Zelda kept jumping inside. Eventually my husband grabbed her and gave her a lecture about it being for less fortunate kitties and reminding her she gets to sleep on top of US for warmth. I don't think she was very impressed.

I love living in the upper Midwest, I do, I swear (send help)

Oh shit I never showed this, but she's running around! I have her flying too, but it feels REAL BAD at the moment. Animations are just key frames and some procedural stuff for now, until I get sick of tweaking flight params and go back to blender. #gamedev #indiedev #unity #gryphongame

I am so, SO proud of all my friends and family in Minnesota. I'm so proud of all of you that I don't know. I wish my life had shaken out slightly differently in a way that would have led me to live among you, but on the whole I am just so proud to call you neighbors.

Post a game you remember playing that nobody else remembers

Alright, my pixel art gothic font Decree is now out! I spent quite a bit of time refining it today and I think I'm happy with it! The funds from this font will go directly to the development of Godscrown! Can't afford the $2? Feel free to reach out! #pixelart #gamedev #font #art

I will kill again #GryphonGame

WHEEEEEE #gamedev #indiedev #Unity #GryphonGame

Wheeeee! Look at 'er go! After deleting the walk, I've now finished rough keys for walk, run-walk, and run. Along with a one frame jump and flying pose. I'm ready to jump back in engine!

I think I'll call her Calliope!

BROTHER DO NOT PERMIT THE BLASPHEMY OF THE OMNISSIAH TO TAKE ROOT IN THE HEART OF THE IMPERIUM SMASH THE IMPIOUS, THE CLANKING WORSHIPPERS OF THE MACHINE GOD

I watched Scavenger's Reign and now I want to put a million little shrimp legs on the giant baleen sky whales in gryphon game

This is my strategy for copying global positions when relative bones need to rotate to make it happen I am NOT kidding. (Also I accidentally deleted my walk cycle unrecoverably send matcha and chocolate plz)

🎶 well you can tell by the way I use my walk, no time to talk 🎶 #indiedev #gamedev #blender #gryphongame

How the hell do I rig a digitigrade leg?!

Nearly finished with the rig! I'm very excited and very pleased with how it's going. I have a hand-full of bugs to fix up, but I think I could be animating walk, run, and jump cycles within the week! #gamedev #indiedev #blender #gryphongame

Weight painting bay-beeeee! #gamedev #indiedev #blender #gryphongame

Finishing up something like my fourth watch through of centaur world and dang is this thing goofy and strange and oh yeah it gets me every time.

I own both of these books and they're excellent. But dangit, I want something of this caliber for birds! Give me feathers, muscle, beak and neck configuration, flight mechanics!

The amount of excited glee I felt when I realized that I have full control over how unhinged my game's levels look was honestly surprising! I want to make zones with names like the emerald ossuary, the whistling woods, and the fire keeper's ballroom

Is the Unity editor too boring for you? You can just screw up and write pixels to Texture2D.WhiteTexture for some extra funkiness ✨

Look at my lemon treeeeeeee!

Now that it's officially cold as balls, my morning consists of pre-heating my office while I make coffee, then an hour of vigorous weaving before sitting down for freelance and job hunting. (My wfh setup and loom are in my enclosed, but not heated or cooled, porch)

Plugging away with a base gryphon model! I am so rusty and I feel it most trying to define edge flows to allow for clear silhouette and plan for good deformation. #gamedev #indiedev #blender #gryphongame

First snow of the year and my lemon tree began to bloom!
