WOW!!! What the actual fuck. We have banner ads, video ads, popup ads..... Now with a "Watch an ad to proceed to the website" I heard it's a google thing testing something with sites that use their ads service. But this is why adblocker is a thing. Things just get worse year by year.

I feel like animating a short duration of Errana mocking the camera.😆 (Note: I won't do any animated character portraits in Unearther. It's just impossible for me to do all of them in the game.)

Unearther in game background images will now use "480x480/2 layers" instead of "640x640/3 layers" It's not a lot of differences but it'll surely ease my time working on assets.

I think i'm wrong about X/Twitter. Their feed and search already put me off the first minute i was in. Feed full of politics and stuff unrelated to the chosen interests. Search just brings you random stuff, I couldn't even find my friends. WTF😑

As I expected, I no longer have time to do anything at the end of workdays. This means, unless it's a weekend or holiday, You won't see me touching Unearther at all.🥲

Got the waypoint teleportation fully working now. After almost a year since its first appearance. Use for fast travel between points just like in the other games. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

It's been a while since this purple-pad thing exists in my game and i got asked several times for what it is. It's a waypoint, used for teleportation between places. But it didn't function until today's build where i started implementing it.😂

The forest backgrounds on the left are made from just 2 images on the right. That's the magic when techniques are properly used. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Gonna start learning Japanese now, as it's necessary for my workplace. Oh well..... this is going to be tough.😱 ファイト!

Some of the intro arts in Unearther. Still working on 2-3 more.

Got an opening sequence of Unearther story mode. There may be an intro dialogues briefly explaining the story before the sequence. But i haven't finished working on it yet. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #monogame

The flying stage in Unearther, exclusive to story gameplay. Still early into making. But you can imagine how the final version is like to be played. Also, You can expect some items or weapons to be used here to easier pass the stage. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Flying Errana.🧹🧹🧹 Errana: "Don't mind me. Just focus on those enemies." Objective: "Defend yourself until you reach the destination."

Alright, I'll get to the gameplay and story progression this time. Also, the so-called "Action Map" or the areas/dungeons that you have to clear to progress the game will be back. We'll see how this goes for real this time.

Pronouncing "Sean" My Friend : Shaun Me : SEEEEN!!! LET'S GOOO!!! 🤣

Potato/Lowest (Effects Off) vs Max settings. Made some changes to the game visual, added background fog, distanced blur, etc. Now, no more about shaders i guess? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #monogame

I know the progressive roll out strategy. But sometimes, I also want an option to just update to the latest version. Like when Pico 4 (VR) released an update, it took me months to just receive that. Isn't it all the same hardware or what? Only difference is region. Why tf would it take that long?

Got to test Unearther on an iGPU/Intel UHD630 today. At 1080p resolution. Max Settings [ 35-40fps ] Lowest Settings [ ~52fps ] Regardless of fps, Input lag is not great. Newer iGPU or even dGPU is recommended. (The game utilizes shaders, so it's demanding to some extent)

Blood moon?!? The only thing i see is blood cloud!😠 Come on, I'm gonna have to wait a few years more until it happens again.

Finished writing a storyline for Unearther. WOOOOO!!! Not sure how many hours it'll be, since it'll largely depend on how you will play it and it's a sandbox based game. But it'll last at least a couple of hours for sure.

Found out about Winlator for quite a while. (An app to run .exe on android) Let's give Unearther a try. It only took about 100+ clicks just to make it launch because it keeps randomly closed. Once it ran, it did with missing graphics and..... it froze!

Unearther's today. Introducing..... Fidget Spinner mode! (Bug) Honestly, There should be a separate game for this. Where you have to retain the momentum to reach the goal and avoid getting stopped by obstacles.🤣🤣🤣 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Still taking a break from Unearther. But also planning so many things of how this will continue afterward. But once again, Let's take a look at how far the project has come. Started in late 2017 and solo dev. all the way here. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #monogame

Vket 2025 Summer, VRChat Even though i'm not very deep into japanese/anime cultures these days. But i'm pretty much addicted walking around seeing stuff in these VR worlds. They are pleasant and detailed.

Several times in Vket 2023-2024, VRChat There's nothing specific about this post. I just want to relive some memories and some of their really well-made worlds.

Unearther - Sword Combo / Spin Slash Inspired by Zero gameplay from Megaman X.😆 Abilities are also sword-specific, each sword may differ. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Ms.Circular Fac..... I-I mean..... Ms.Errana. The previous one I drew a while ago was kinda inaccurate. This one should do it.😄

Brought back the accessory slots.

Some adjustments to the character portraits. - More vibrant color. - Errana has shorter bangs. So She has a lesser feeling of being a protag. from monogatari series at first glance.🤣 - Ghost hunter guy removed. Due to it being referenced to a real person.

Transparent Loading Screen. I don't think this will be in the later build of the game. It's a little too revealing. Also, without the intended slowdown, the game will load much faster and you won't see how it works anyway. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Potato-PC (Left) vs Intended (Right)😂😂😂 It's now possible to change some graphics/effects in the settings menu. But any PC nowadays should be able to run intended settings just fine. (***Except for lower end CPUs like older Intel N-Series laptop***)

Working on a fog effect. Well..... It's just a white / tinted texture over the existing environments. (In this case) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Different light rendering in Unearther. Yes, The lighting in the game is just tiled lighting no matter what settings. But techniques are used to make it less obvious. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Unearther - Shadow Vision/Perception Or "Ghost Seeing" mechanic. If your character health randomly goes down. I'll says it's not a bug. It's an invisible obstacle/entity. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

My game's look throughout the timeline. (2017-2024) Having started with just a hobby, I never thought it would ever come this far. #gamedev #indiedev
