Moving objects around is starting to feel pretty nice, now when you pick up an object, its treated as extremely light and has a hard time moving heavy objects This will be useful for puzzles where stacking objects is involved #indiegame #physics #puzzle #coop #multiplayer #godot #netcode #game

shaders are fun (this water shader is unfinished) #indiedev #shaders #gamedev #physics #coop #multiplayer #netcode

my favorite activities include: - writing code in godot fast enough to outpace the linter

Physics are starting to feel smooth, only a couple points of jitter to improve after some testing with a friend across the country #indiegame #puzzle #physics #coop #multiplayer #netcode #godot #alpha

messing around with physics object interactions, starting to feel kind of smooth #indiedev #netcode #physics #puzzle #godot

sharing is caring #gamedev #netcode #multiplayer #godot #physics #puzzle

forgot how fun netcode was to work on until i started this new project #gamedev #netcode #multiplayer #godot #physics #puzzle

500 enemies with even more bullets \o/ #indiegame #performance #gamedev #optimization #space #bullethell #godot

really productive week of bug fixes, performance improvements, and small but important additions / polishes the next few days will focus on content additions, hopefully that will turn into some actually exciting videos to show

id say performance is getting pretty good (m4 base mac mini, 130 enemies i accidentally spawned due to a bug all shooting) #indiegame #gamedev #godot #roguelike #space #survivor #bullethell

youtu.be/L9w0kRqjw9k Testing out/showing off the new UI for weapon missions #indiedev #gamedev #godot #alpha #3dgamedevelopment #indiegame #survivorslike #roguelike #bullethell

refactoring game code is the most zen thing in the world during my lunch breaks at work #indiedev #gamedev #godot #roguelike

Improved the upgrade UI to include the # of each upgrade owned rather than separate images #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #godot

Weapon missions activate when standing in them for a short period of time, spinning their sword icons around when the timer ticks down Completely unfinished+unpolished, but the POC is here, will show off when the actual missions are working #gamedev #godot #roguelike #space #game

working on some models for '3d ui' such as the weapon missions #indiegame #gamedev #godot #roguelike #survivorslike #bullethell

Had a bad dream where all my peers started using AI to generate "games". They delighted in the incoherent sequences of images and video, and I thought I'd gone insane. Glad to be awake.

Asteroids are now batched and more plentiful, makes the movement feel a lot better #indiegame #gamedev #godot #space #roguelite #bullethell #survivorslike #roguelike

why are youtube bots commenting purely about ELVES in my SPACE ROGUELIKE?? #indiedev #gamedev #confused #youtube #bots

uploaded a video of 3 almost 4 MONTHS of work on my indie roguelike, SurvivorShip. Please check it out and maybe like/subscribe or something 🤪 youtu.be/zpfZftue3Us #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #bullethell #devlog #godot #space #game #alpha #wip

laser beam gun VFX put in :) #indiedev #gamedev #shaders #godot #shader #space #roguelike #laserbeam #survivor #bullethell

messing around with different VFX #indiedev #gamedev #shaders #vfx #godot #indiedev

some VFX for when the plasma balls hit things #indiedev #gamedev #space #roguelike #roguelite #bulletheaven #survivors #survivor

the new cloud system being completely dynamic will lend itself well to the weather system i plan to have in the future #indiegame #gamedev #godot #alpha #shader #shaders #clouds #sky #weather #space #roguelike #roguelite

thinking i might not need to do much to these clouds beyond the basics! Looks great haha #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #godot #alpha #shader #clouds #space #planet

Working on clouds *insert evil laugh* #indiedev #gamedev #planet #shader #clouds #space #roguelike #godot

if youre a game dev for the love of god run your game on a steam deck (or any mediocre setup). the amount of #indiegame s coming out that cant even run well on my 5060Ti is absolutely absurd $300 laptop or device to test on now might save you hundreds in refunds #indiedev #gamedev #optimization

anyone like randomly generated 3D planets which are entirely shaders? #indiedev #gamedev #shader #shaders #planet #space #game #roguelike #godot

Some more work on the lighting and visuals, lots and lots to do but im happy with my progress #indiedev #gamedev #alpha #godot #roguelike #survivor #space #lighting

ai comes out and people forget how to google things, the juniors just ask the most basic questions at work now compared to 2 yrs ago

Showing off the new visuals with an outline shader + outlines on all text, as well as some new features such as enemy drops and better planet generation #indiedev #gamedev #godot #shader #shaders #roguelike #space #game #alpha #gameplay youtu.be/NlM6aE_YESE?...

working on my planet generation shader today should look even better before the day is over! #indiedev #gamedev #godot #shader #procgen #planet #space #roguelike

renamed my game, Geosyncrosity, to DefenShip. Felt like the first name was cool but too big brained for a smaller rogue like #indiedev

Some new sounds for the UI as well as the guns #space #game #roguelike #godot #roguelite #laser

Long run halted by a well placed set of shots from the enemy Plasma Fighter and Plasma Bursters #indiegame #gamedev #godot #alpha #roguelike #bullethell #vampiresurvivors #space #rogelite #bulletheaven #dodge #game

better smoke VFX when enemies die #indiedev #gamedev #vfx #roguelike #bullethell #godot #videogame #alpha

Lots of work on different things in my game this week Really liking how some things are taking shape. Working specifically on death states for enemies at the moment (shown here) #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #godot #bullethell

ship customization preview #indiegame #gamedev #godot #ui #customization #roguelike #bullethell #space

WIP new enemy: suicide drones #indiegame #godot #gamedev #roguelike #roguelite #space #survivor #bullethell

enemy and XP orb blips are now on the minimap :) #indiegame #gamedev #space #shaders #minimap #godot #roguelike

camera rotation while moving #indiedev #gamedev #godot #roguelike #action #bullethell

lots of changes to make flying flying around feel better - space dust - FOV changes when speeding up/down - Tighter camera overall - etc #indiedev #gamedev #space #godot #roguelike #roguelite #bullethell #sv

the main menu is now a live-action scene #indiedev #alpha #gamedev #godot #space #roguelike #bulletheaven #survivorlike

wave which clears all projectiles when you level up, to prevent getting hit after #indiegame #shader #godot #space #spacegame #bulletheaven #survivor #survivorslike #gamedev #arcade #game

Added passive repair upgrade + lots of visual changes :) #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #space #bulletheaven #survivors #survivorslike #galaga #arcade #shader #shaders #godot

Stars! thousands rendered, almost no performance hit #godot #shaders #space #roguelike #gamedev #indiedev #survivorlike #survivor #galaga #arcade

Increased chromatic aberration now occurs as you take damage also the waves now only begin when you kill all enemies in a current wave #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #godot #shader #shaders #bullethell #bulletheaven #survivorslike

work has been crazy, but i finally got some time+energy to work on #Geosyncrosity again Some damage VFX for the player (gonna put on the enemies soon) and some small bits of UI Need to decide on a final UI design before doing much though #indiegame #gamedev #godot #space #roguelike #bulletheaven

Finished the model for the Mine Bombers. They keep their distance from the player unlike the Plasma Fighters + Plasma Bursters Also the Plasma Fighters have a nice green color now :) #indiegame #gamedev #roguelike #godot #space #alpha #shaders #randomgeneration #proceduralgeneration #dev #galaga

Testing out the Mine Bomber's mines, pretty happy with the results so far! Need to make an enemy model + make the AI smarter next! #indiegame #gamedev #godot #roguelike #space #shaders #bullethell #vampiresurvivors

beginnings of an explosion effect im working on. This is step 1 for the visual effect (will follow up with updates as replies) #indiegame #gamedev #shaders #roguelike
