I've added this yellow line, so the player knows where the exit portal is. But I'm not sure if it's a bit clunky. Maybe there are other games that achieve this better. Any thoughts? #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Physics on all of the tiles in a TileMapLayer has been killing the performance. So, I've added a system that only 'activates' the physics on the outer tiles as you destroy them. Now I the headroom for more physics! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Godot continues to impress. The new embedded game window has been clutch when debugging my chunk manager. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

#gamedev​​​s, beware of the scope creep!

Chromatic aberration + exponents = (fun?) eye strain. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Having fun with chromatic aberration and international orange today. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

The environmental voronoi pattern now fades between patterns overtime. I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

I like this voronoi pattern for the environment but I'm not sure if the constant changing is distracting. Any thoughts? #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

I think shaders have sent me mad with power. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Working on squashing and a squeezing. Oh and a little bit of lighting. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Shaders are still a dark art to me but I made a smoky background, so some might call me an expert. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

He has arms and eyes now. Character design complete. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

A twin stick shooter where both sticks shoot. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

I made it pink and added aberration. That's a complete visual style right? #indiegames #gamedev #godot

Techno Gothic or something look I dunno

I made a tiny UI element that shows a simple message and disappears after x number of simple actions. It took 4 hours of wrestling with a Godot UI layout. We'll have that game made any day now. #indiegames #gamedev #godot

Funko pops... never again 🥴 We're back if you haven't noticed!

South Korea declared martial law because Stellar Blade was snubbed at the Game Awards.

Really excited and proud to see @nictringali.bsky.social’s second game as director come together. They’re making something original, beautiful and unashamedly their own. Amberspire is something special, wishlist it! store.steampowered.com/app/3350750/...
