Minecart Rail Boosting #indiegame

We got Minecarts. You can grind on the tracks for a speed boost #gamdev

Bee & Gator Test #gamedev

Terrain particles and ambience

Added missions, profiles, and starting hacking on the garage/upgrade UI for my procedural rocket drifting game, Rift Drift 🚀 You can wishlist it on steam now! #gamedev #indiegame

I've mapped out an upgrade tree with 46 different modules of 3 tiers that customize how your craft behaves #gamedesign #gamedev

Just a little over a month until @thegdex.bsky.social Wishlist Rift Drift on Steam now! #indiegame #drift

Touched up some of the UI #gamedev #indiegame

There are a variety of level modifiers now for the tracks in my procedural racing game ❗ - Increases the difficulty 🔁 - Adds multiple laps ↗️ - Doubles the distance 💀 - Boss node that significantly increases difficulty and unlocks the next section #gamedev #indiegame

Level Select updates #gamedev #indiegame

Just a little over a month until #gdex #gamedev #indiegame

Here's Infinite mode gameplay. I'm finishing up the UI and unlock system for levels #gamedev #indiegame

Level select updates #gamedev #indiegame

We've got wet caves and marshes in the track generator #gamedev #indiegame #vectorart #proceduralgeneration

Went down a rabbit hole of performance improvements and rewriting generator code. Your craft shows when it takes damage now 💥 #gamedev #indiegame #drift

At long last, I've finally finished Rift Drift Dev Log 2 🙌 #gamedev #indiegame

I've got 3 biomes with 3 variants hooked up into the map generator for y'all to boost and drift through 🌳🪨🏛️ #gamedev #indiegame #proceduralgeneration

I just found out you can use emojis in your folder names am I procrastinating? maybe my brain goes yes whenever I open the project now though

Carnivorous plants are now animate 🌱 Just about all props are functional We got portals 👌 #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing

Thanks for 50 follows! There are 9 distinct biome variants now. These are sort of like brushes for the map generator and I'm very excited to see them in action #gamedev #indiegame #procedural

We've got more biome variation! I'm excited to plug these into the map generator #gamedev #indiegame #vectorart #exploration

Continuing to make the biome variants more distinct, which is your favorite? 1. Woodlands 2. Bog 3. Jungle 4. Crystal Cave 5. Fungal Cavern 6. Mine #gamedev #indiegame #2.5D

Working on making biomes/variants more visually distinct and finishing up level gameplay #indiegame #gamedev #vectorart

Dev Log 2 is coming soon, I've got a launcher up on my itch if you wanna play the latest dev build of Rift Drift #indiegame #gamedev

Before and after main menu #gamedev #indiegame

I've made some updates to the level select UI and you can CATCH YOUR SPEDOMETER ON FIRE with enough SPEED #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing

We've got sprites to race against #gamedev #indiegame #vectorart

I've done a huge refactor to the universe sampling system so levels spawn with more variety and balance. Now it's just a matter of polishing up the level gameplay and adding more obstacles/biomes #gamedev #indiedev #vectorart #proceduralgeneration

The map generator has been tweaked to spawn more balanced levels (no more forests with nothing but wind boosters)

Follow if you like mushrooms 🍄 #gamedev #vectorart #crafting #racing

Temple biome in action 🏹🚀🗡 #gamedev #indiegame #drift

Working on the temple biome 🏹🏺🗡️ #gamedev #indiedev #drift

Each biome has a few resources you can collect by interacting with the environment ⛏️ 🪵🍄🪨 #gamedev #indiegame #drift

I've been working on resources you can collect to craft upgrades and customizations for your rocket

I've made a recursive graph based level select menu to hold a universe of procedurally generated levels. With the current configuration this maps to 1,500 levels #gamedev #indiegame

Experimenting with custom craft graphics. Try the latest dev build on itch! hyperquest-games.itch.io/rift-drift-dev

Level's now have save data and there is a minimum momentum mechanic to incentivize speed #gamedev #indiegame

Brain is stuck so it's off to graphland

Just finished my first ever dev log 🙌 #gamedev #indiedev

I think the hardest part of developing a game has been telling myself no. You've gotta be willing to compromise on a perfect vision and cut things if you ever want to finish anything

I've gotten the Island to Level loop working. Every node in a possibility space of infinite islands map to a unique level #gamedev #indiegame

Island/Level Select is in progress. Making a Universe to drift in might be overkill but it's satisfying to see it come to life #gamedev #indiegame

Forest & Cave track generation with procedural biome variants for my Infinite Drifting Game #gamedev #indiegame

I've been restructuring the base biome tables to prepare for level generation. Now each biome can procedurally generate it's own variants and I'm really liking the way different forest look blending into one another #gamedev #indiegame

The foundation for procedural level maps is done. Now to map each of the nodes in these islands to unique levels #gamedev #indiegame

Level graph generation has received a nice overhaul thanks to this gem of a guide on Slay the Spire's map generation 👇 tinyurl.com/SlayTheSpire...

I had no idea of the sheer amount of lines I would be generating when I started this project 📈😵‍💫📈 #gamedev #indiegame

Polished the UI and added transitions to my infinite drifting game #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing #flow

I think the infinite game mode is done for now, onto procedural levels #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing #flow

Procedural prop placement is working 🙌 Mushroom bounce has been reworked 🍄 #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing #flow
