It's sunday so I'm kinda just messing around right now. Today on the list of bad #TTRPG ideas. HYBRID, coherent edition. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Okay, so you know how before I said I was having issues with the complexity of the pawn state machine. I think I just had an idea on how to prioritize pawn actions based on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. Attached is the old state machine graph. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

The week 56 #devlog is now up for Cosmic Construct. Not much in there given how little I actually did this week. Not feeling the greatest. ;--; store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #dev

Currently working on the Hotel, which will increase the tourist capacity of the settlement. (Along with the Resort and Casino.) Still sick. Update, I'm now coughing every minute or so. It is very annoying. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #wip

Basically done with the new trees. Unfortunately, it looks like I'm getting sick again which sucks. My throat, eyes, and head hurt. But at least I'm not coughing or have a runny nose. XD #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #dev #screenshotsaturday

Happy new years guys. ^--^

Alright, 55th week #devlog is now up for Cosmic Construct. store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... Information about my side projects in there again, as people seem to like those included. Said I would work on the trees overnight, but barely started. ;--; #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #dev

Gonna do the new biome trees tonight, and I'll have a devlog up tomorrow.

Taking a break from the structure art to work on a new biome. I still have a few of those to get done which will save me time later, and this is something different to work on. This will be for the Dansland, which will be tropical themed. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #wip #screenshotsaturday

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays and all that. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #dev

I've made a post or two about my conlang Kairete, but have never explained it. Here is a short explainer image. Kairete is an a priori, polysynthetic philosophical artlang. It avoids tone in favor of conveying information through the makeup of a word itself. #conlangs #language

The 54th week #devlog is now up for Cosmic Construct store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... Still have plenty more structure art that needs to be done. This devlog as has been customary over the last few weeks, contains my side projects. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #dev

Had our bi-weekly DnD group today, so as usual not much getting done on Sunday. I am still working on the Naspunk book layout, but it will be a bit before its ready to ship out. (I have placeholder text everywhere throughout the book.) #wip #ttrpg

In side project land, the NASPUNK #TTRPG book is coming along. This book will be freely available on #itch once it is finished. This basically started as an excuse to make a cool user interface. Then it turned into NASPUNK. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #screenshotsaturday

Currently working on updating the structure icons for buildings that have been imported, but not fully supported. So that they aren't magenta icons anymore. Then I'll get back to the Museum. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #wip

Been working on some parts of the Museum, another multipart structure. There are 9 multipart structures in total, and they are the most complex. Nothing to show yet so have this instead. Of my many projects is a conlang called Kairete. conlang.org #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #conlang #wip

The week 53 #devlog is now up for Cosmic Construct. Not much in there you don't already know if you've kept up here. store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... Also currently working on some general coding practice because I haven't been doing much of that. #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev #dev

Just started work on the Auditor building, which will be the source building that calculates automation earnings. Once the player has the Auditor building, the game quickly switches from small settlement management, to the metropolis. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #screenshotsaturday

Working on the Library right now which is a multi part structure, and one of the most important progression buildings in Cosmic Construct. Nothing I want to show off just yet. Instead, here is a #TCG / CCG I've been working on that has a full 300 card set. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart

Currently working on the Embassy building which will control visas and customs for the tourism system. Starting to realize that many buildings have the same design language. Apparently Embassies are cubes / rectangles with weird shapes on them. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #wip

The week 52 #devlog is up for Cosmic Construct. Thank you for dealing with me being sick over the last week, as well as the prior burnout. store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... Again there are side projects in this devlog. We are returning to normal this week. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #wip

Pretty much done being sick, which is wonderful. I do feel better. I'll have a devlog out tomorrow, and I'll return to Cosmic Construct dev. I had this interesting idea, having Google Gemini write and format a TTRPG rulebook. This is the first page. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #ttrpg #wip

Alright, that wiki I got caught up building is now up. substrate.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page

I am still sick, although I am recovering. Didn't get as much done of Orros as I thought I would as I got snipped by a #worldbuilding premise I couldn't pass up. I've been working to get a wiki up for it, I'll post it here when I'm done. #fiction #lit #ttrpg #wiki

Still sick, at the part where I'm having coughing fits every couple minutes. While that is still going on, I'm working on Orros, my superhero themed #ttrpg. The book is currently at 141 pages, so I'm curious how many pages I can do in 1-2 days. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #tabletop

The 51st week #devlog is up for Cosmic Construct. Rather I should less say it is about Cosmic Construct than it is about my side projects. store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... I am still very sick and don't want to do game art I won't be happy with. #indiegame #indiedev #ttrpg #wip #gamedev

Update: Everyone in our house if very sick. I'll post a devlog with basically no content relevant to Cosmic Construct. There will be stuff about my side projects though. Drawing while sick doesn't really put my in a good headspace. So I'm working on TTRPG books for a few days.

I know you are all here for new about Cosmic Construct, but I've been doing other things. As the muse strikes, trying to combat burnout. In the mean time I do work on other game develop projects, such as this one. Which is quickly nearing completion. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #ttrpg #tabletop

Sorry for the lack of an update. Thanksgiving stuff going on. :P

Currently working on the Library, which is a complex drawing, so it's not presentable right now. Instead I'll show off a side project that I'm working on as I'm doing rapid prototyping. All in an effort to improve my gamedev chops. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart

The 50th week #devlog is up for Cosmic Construct. store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... For CC I just go over the buildings I did this week. However, I also have some unplanned content in there you might be interested in. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart

Just finished up the Centrifuge, devlog will come shortly. Doesn't look like much, but I did have to draw it 4 times. It's more complicated of an animation than it looks. Perhaps I'll add Uranium to the list of game items. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #screenshotsaturday

I moved on to doing the Centrifuges today, but wanted to show what I have the Terraformer looking like, as I've gone back to working on that. There will be a sled that runs across it and injects the ground with the Terraformation Juice™. #indiegame #indiedev #gameart #gamedev #wip

Thank you, to @rtfxstudio.bsky.social and cpgd.info who ran an amazing annual event. Cosmic Construct received one of the 3 spotlight awards during the jam. I was also jamming to create Spinset. soaringmoon.itch.io/spinset A rather unfinished puzzle game. XD #indiegam #indiedev #gamedev #dev

Here I am just staring at the google image results for "terraformation tower", trying to figure out where to even start. I know what kind of animation I want to make, but not what I want the building to look like yet. I'll be working on it overnight. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #wip #dev

Can't wait, thank you so much. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #dev #gamejam

I'm working on the Auditor building right now, but I have nothing I want to show. This is how I keep track of which structures are complete. 27 remain with 5 to import. I'll be doing least the Terraformer, Centrifuge, and Auditor this week. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #dev #screenshotsaturday.

The week 49 devlog is now up on #steam store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... Returning back to structure art for this week. I don't know which structures I'll be working on just yet. I'll let you know as I get started. #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #dev

Sorry for the lack of an update. Wasn't feeling too great yesterday, and today I spent like 12 hours playing a minecraft modpack with a roommate. So nothing was done game development wise. I'll have something up today, probably a devlog.

After a bit of tinkering, I've come up with at at least a temporary solution to the building obstruction issue. A button to toggle transparency of cells directly below the player. I think I'll select by size, as chests and the like aren't obstructive. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #wip #dev

The 48th #devlog for Cosmic Construct is now up on steam. store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... The next devlog actually will show up in the new few days. I am really falling behind on them. I might do this for the next couple. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart

Got most of the new imports done. Some of the more complex buildings like the Bazaar will require additional work due to being procedurally generated. Still need to improve player visibility behind objects. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #screenshotsaturday

The Infinite Floorplanner is a background project of mine now being made available. soaringmoon.itch.io/infinite-flo... I suggest you follow the page on itch.io, as I will be posting set in groups of 100 images every so often as I manage to export them. #indiedev #gamedev #dnd #tabletop #ttrpg

Starting to get the buildings imported and placeable. I am aware the the player can't be seen behind the building. (and that other buildings can't be seen behind buildings.) I have a solution for this already. Here Casino parts are rearranged. #indiedev #indiegame #gameart #gamedev #wipwednesday

Sorry, no update on Cosmic Construct just yet, but I do have an update for work on the dungeon tile set. A massive number of tiles are being recreated in digital art based on work from various creators, and will be made freely available on itch.io soon. #indiedev #tabletop #gameart #wip #dnd

The 47th week #devlog is up in Steam for Cosmic Construct. store.steampowered.com/news/app/347... Outside of Cosmic Construct's development, I've been working on remaking many of the dungeon map tiles from Dave's Mapper as a uniform set. #indiegame #indiedev #gameart #gamedev

Working on the Guild Hall right now. I after I get a bit of that done, I'll post a devlog sometime overnight. (I really need to get on that.) The Guild Hall will apply half the player's skill level to pawns, increasing the speed they work. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #screenshotsaturday

Now working on the Treasury building. Most of these are of the marble and column style the government structures use. I try to keep all of the management buildings looking a similar way so the player can have distinct city districts. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #wip

Let me show you what else I've been working on for fun. I just make this CRT shader for a side project. It's got a lot more development than you might imagine. (I need multiple concurrent projects to maintain my sanity.) #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #wipwednesday

The Courthouse is done. I really like this one. I might add more copper details around the building, as its looking flat greyscale. We'll see. The statue was a good choice. Though I drew a door behind it which you can see. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #gameart #wipwednesday
