Ostrich

Happy family

Approach with caution

Three-headed dinosaur

Kicking around the unicorn blob like a beach ball until it dies and decomposes into a horrible skeleton

I Have Captured The Unicorn Blob

Still refining visual language but I've added the concept of species that are too hard to initially ID— the player needs more XP with the broader taxon first. Pics of an example w/ red-tailed hawk. This'll be helpful to add the challenge w/ tricky taxa like shorebirds/gulls #gamedev #GodotEngine 🪶

Armadillo slug

Look Everyone! It's The Party Crab

Finally got around to implementing proper swimming mechanics 🦦 #gamedev #indiegamedev #unity3d

This has powerful "please leave me alone" energy

Purple leopard-spotted clam

More legs = good

a game is a type of soft where you move around a critter or creature

Tree crabs are well-optimized to take over any ecosystem, and it's only cowardice on the part of our own Natural Selection that has prevented this from happening on Earth (citation needed)

happy shrew year

Extremely Seussical

Close up on the leg-headed head-tailed carnivore

This species got randomly generated with a leg where its head would normally be and a head where its tail would be. It was also carnivorous, so it chased other creatures around backwards, then had a hard time killing them because its head wasn't close enough

Running in circles

Very festive

Merry Christmas from the Holiday Beast, who is covered in wings and thankfully appears to be an herbivore

I've been working on making death and decay look more interesting. (Yes, all these shrubs have full skeletons)

🌕

Bug adventures

He sees you.

Look how happy this lizard is! She's so excited #gamedev #procgen

I didn't think the "round torso covered in identical body parts" prefab was going to pay as many dividends as it has. Truly one of the worst things I've made. I should do more like this

Business meeting

This one looks like a very polite land dolphin

Pretty pink birch tree crab

Dragon lump, embedded mushroom caps

More from the radial antler-beast, seen here spawning a gumdrop-shaped son

Majestic nighttime monster

Just found out Hello Kitty Island Adventure was built using Unity's DOTS/ECS! I'm personally delighted any time I find overlap between "cute and cozy" and "high-performance data-driven software architecture"

The radial antler-beast bravely flees a small turtle

Having a very normal day of game development over here

This animal's hobby is blinking

I love watching these weird animals walk around. They have goals, they have places to be, they're just doing their own thing

#TeaseYaGame Do people like worms? I hope so

Figuring out the physics-based movement has been an ongoing process, especially since switching to DOTS, which has a separate physics system from default Unity. (Fun fact: the new DOTS physics is officially called "Unity Physics," which is deeply confusing and un-Google-able). Here’s a wobbly moose

Fun fact: there is no snout in the game that is shaped like this; it's actually a head that grew where a nose normally would! But it looks like a silly round nose and that's what matters

I turned up the color saturation on the post-processing and I can't bring myself to turn it back down. Bright animal. Colorful friend. Look at him

It could be argued that this animal's eyes are too large for it. Not by me, but perhaps by some kind of Eye Scientist

The ones with giant legs sprouting out of their faces have never stopped being alarming

Me to my brain: you are making an evolution simulation with bizarre alien genetics. The animals are strange and unsettling and that's okay. They don't have to be cute My brain: baby hedgehog

It seems people want to ponder orbs—I mean learn about Matcaps! They're great for gesturing at complex lighting and reflections within a stylized art style. And as a bonus, no UV unwrapping! ^.^
