The #Kickstarter is LIVE for Fat Goblins! Fat Goblins is a game inspired by Fat Princess which is a gave I loved as a kid, and it's made entirely from scratch! If you've been following along, please consider backing the game! Your support helps a lot! #gamedev #indiegame

New Ice Map in #FatGoblins will be done soon! Just finished up the Ice Shader today which is starting to look pretty good! #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #ゲーム制作

Redesigning the Frost Mage ultimate in #FatGoblins! Still a WIP, but here's a preview! Next I'm making it slippery & move faster like you're surfing. #gamedev #indiegame #ゲーム制作 #screenshotsaturday

Finally got around to adding BURNING into fat goblins! 🔥 You can light your arrows on fire with torches. Considering allowing the fire to spread between people and bodies... But I feel like it will explode out of control... #gamedev #indiegame #ゲーム制作

New WAY BETTER pitch shifting library in #FatGoblins! Exciting! 🔊🔊🔊 #gamedev #indiegame #ゲーム制作

I said I was done with the "wah wah wah" player muting filter... And I am. But on the last day I gave myself to improve it I stayed up until 5 am and improved it A LOT. Final video for the "wah wah wah" peanuts filter! 🔊 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #ゲーム制作

Peanuts style Voice Chat "muting" in my game #FatGoblins! Really simple trombone + envelope smoothing + pitch modulation + formant shaping. Much more satisfying than just muting someone! #gamedev #indigame #ゲーム制作

Simple stencil buffer pre-pass for seeing behind stuff in #FatGoblins! Ended up looking pretty good! #gamedev #indiegame #ゲーム制作

Foggy mountain map graphics, made from scratch. A lot of work went into this. #gamedev #indiegame #ゲーム制作

Today I improved the Ambient Occlusion shader and Outline shader for Fat Goblins! Check it out! #gamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #ゲーム制作

also you can ride the dragon boss now in fat goblins #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

Multiplayer PvP Dragon Boss Fight in my game Fat Goblins! Chaotic and fun! Trying to decide on the final ability to give the dragon... #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

BOTS ARE WORKING, and not that stupid! 🤖 3 weeks of client server merging -> custom navmesh -> custom path finding -> bot heuristic intelligence -> combat heuristics.... Bots fully play the game. Feels good... #gamedev #indiegame

This might not look like much, but what's happening is a really clever way to test your server side game consistency. I'm sending ONLY my inputs to the server, which applies my inputs to a server-side bot. Nothing else. You're controlling a bot, and lots of weird things start happening. #gamedev

And so the nav mesh from scratch project begins... #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Today I removed the concept of "client goblin" from my game to prep for bots. That's literally all I did the entire day. Peak game development. #gamedev

I started adding interface sounds to my game. Had an idea to use the game instrumentation to create the sounds. So then it evolved into, "I can probably do actual music theory stuff with this..." Still a WIP but it's not that bad. #gamedev #sounddesign

WIP but dragon abilities are mostly done! You can accidentally trick it into falling off the arena... But it's starting to barely feel more like a boss fight. Will be a lot more fun with 32 players. #gamedev

Dragon is not supposed to fly like this #gamedev

Yall deadass don't get just how excited I am for this game like Fat Princess was one of my favorite games as a kid and I never thought I'd get to play it again in any way and I never realized how much I needed a game like this again 😭

Lately I've been working on the fire breath attack in Fat Goblins! It's getting there! #gamedev #trailertuesday

Dragon boss has become CLIMBABLE. You and your team of goblin friends can climb all over him while attacking! #gamedev #indiegame

The physics-climbable dragon boss begins for the dungeon map... #gamedev #indiegame

Today I was unfortunately a web developer and designed an interactive header for my game company website. All vanilla js and vanilla webgl. The people demand a website. Blog will be up soon. #webdevelopment #gamedev #indiegame

Path finding DAY 9 #gamedev 1. Grid generation with a hundred little goblins instead of 1 And...

My game in 15 seconds #indiegame #gamedev

They said it couldn't be done... Jai compiled into 32 bit arm and running on my playdate. #gamedev #playdate

#FatGoblins path finding day 7 update! Today I paid a guy in india to run around my map really fast for 2 hours and record the data. The resulting nav grid is GREATLY improved. Next I need to flatten levels and add fall/jump information. Almost done! #gamedev

#FatGoblins path finding day 5 update! Jump point search has been optimized and an entire map path takes about 2 milliseconds. Next, optimizing the nav grid generation and via character controller and nearest cell path branching optimizations. #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Path finding library DAY 5. Jump point search works! None of the jump data is baked, so it takes 2 seconds. But baking will come later. #gamedev It's a miracle because I cowabunga devved my way to the end.

Path finding library day 4 update. Jump point search in 3D doesn't work yet. Things are not good. #gamedev

Path finding day 3! Path finding speed improved to 5 ms without JPS or "visibility search". Biggest optimization were 1. caching the current nav grid, 2. replacing floor/clamp with custom bitwise functions. Whole map video with heuristics below #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Happy New Years from #FatGoblins!

Haven't tried bsky for job postings yet... LF a freelance 2d animator to help create a 15 second cartoony intro sequence for an indie game trailer. Think devolver style trailer leading into gameplay. Paid work! DM me with your portfolio for more info. #GameAnimation #FreelanceAnimator #2DAnimation

So uh... I think the demolitionist nuke ult needs to be nerfed in my game #screenshotsaturday Fun though...

And just in time for winter break, Fat Goblins runs with a smooth 60 fps on #steamdeck! Time to review the playtest footage all winter.

Don't mind me just gathering some meat to feed my Princess in Fat Goblins... #screenshotsaturday #gamedev
