Working more shaders for abilities, this time for Pindrop, grants some shields and damage, but now has a neat vfx. #screenshotsaturday #shader #godot #gamedev #indiegames

Working on new shader effects for my mana-drain ability that converts mana -> health, this is a fun one. It's still a work in progress, but I like where it's going #shader #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame

Working on some shader effects that can target specific tiles on the board, started with a lightning one. #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame #gamedev

Trying to work out a design for a health / shields combo. #godot #gamedev #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

Working on optimizing shaders for steamdeck and mobile, some of the dynamic backgrounds can really tank performance. #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame #steamdeck

Some characters and monsters can have multiple colors they are aligned with, the top right little squares weren't super obvious, so I made the panel have a sweeping shader with the different combinations, should hopefully be a little more obvious now #screenshotsaturday #godot #shader #indiegame

While not visually impressive for a screenshot Saturday, this little network indicator, allows the game to sync fallen players into the pvp pool, for future battles against other players. Wrote a python / fastapi backend for my game. #screenshotsaturday #godot #python #solodev #indiegame

Working on some more shaders, and making my menu's toggle-able, still all very much WIP. #screenshotsaturday #godot #solodev #indiegame #indiedev

New snow shader, and revamping my level selection screen. #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame #solodev

Working on a rain and lightning shader, slowly coming together. #screenshotsaturday #godot #shader #indiegame #solodev

Playing around with shaders again created a trippy wavy effect. Also worked quite a bit with godotsteam.com this week, trying to integrate some basic steamworks functionality. So much learning to be done... #screenshotsaturday #godot #shader #indiegames #solodev

Playing around with transition screens, with the help of this fantastic project: github.com/cashew-oldde... It's got some very good documentation and is well put together, was very easy to use and modify. #godot #gamedev #indiegames #solodev #screenshotsaturday

Lots of pictures / gifs and flashing lights warning, I just posted a dev log entry for my progress in the last year with Atiya's Quest (the game I keep posting about on screenshot saturdays). mcgillij.dev/atiyas-quest... #godot #solodev #indiegames #devlog

Added some physics based d10's for my rolls, working on some indicators to show the highest dice face. #screenshotsaturday #godot #gamedev #indiegame #solodev

Oh rotation, and resolution swap. How I thought it would be so easy, only to realize that popup, tooltip, drag previews don't get rotate due to be rendered with subviewport... Anyways the bulk of the work is done now for play-ability on #steamdeck. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame #godot

Added difficulty selection / character selection, and starting to wire everything up, it's almost starting to feel like a game! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #godot #solodev

Doing a bit of work on showing the stats and skills descriptions, and where the bonus's are coming from, either from levels, equipment, jobs or buffs. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #godot #solodev

Showing off some skill-checks / dice rolls, and clearly what happens when I can't do animations... make the numbers move instead! #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #gamedev #godot #solodev

Working on the level selection screen, adding environmental effects and monster information. #gamedev #godot #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #solodev

Making some progress on the character unlocks / achievements UI, still lots of polish to go, but the systems are at least working together. #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev

We hit 10 reviews on our steam Demo! 🥳 Thank you so much everyone for playing and for leaving feedback! ❤️ If you haven't tried the demo yet, please do!🙏 #indiedev #gamedev

Working on character unlocks and achievements system, which means I need a way to display them, so here's the start of the visual component of the achievements so far. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #godot #solodev #indiedev #wip

Adding more random events, and dungeon level generation, slowly coming together. #screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #godot

Working on getting my random event system up and running #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

Still toying around with shader backgrounds, trying to find a good solution to the performance differences between devices / platforms. #screenshotsaturday #godot #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

#screenshotsaturday #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #godot WIP on some shaders and particles for my skill tree, trying to make it a bit more obvious the selected paths

I thought it was supposed to be spring... #dog #halifax

#screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #solodev Working on different time based effects to show the different abilities tile selections

#screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #godot #solodev Working on adding some effects and different ability types.

🔥 Just swapped my #Firefox search engine to a self-hosted 🏠 #SearXNG instance! Farewell intrusive ads 🚫 and AI nonsense. Slower? Maybe. But reclaiming privacy feels worth every extra second. #linux #docker #nginx #selfhost mcgillij.dev/replacing-yo...

Ported to #godot 4.4, now to make sure everything is still working OK. #Screenshotsaturday #solodev #indiedev can't wait to dig into some of the new godot features.

A small write up of the steps that go into item generation in Atiya's Quest, in #godot #gdscript #indiegame #solodev www.mcgillij.dev/what-goes-in...

By popular request, let's do another starter pack: 🦋 Solo Game Developers+ LMK if you want in! Plz be patient, I'm also solo (and should be working on my game lol) bsky.app/starter-pack...

#godot #indiegamedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #solodev Messing around with gdshaders as the level background, and what better place to start than the #balatro swirls. Not actually going to use these it's just for testing. But it was fun to put together.

Working on progress/mana bars and turn indicator shaders. #godot #indiedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #solodev Slowly picking away at things on my todo list.

#godot #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday Working on the different BRAVE (my stats system) abilities / class assignment, starting with Bark abilities. Bark (red) Reflex (green) Alertness (blue) Vigor (orange) Enthusiasm (pink) Each character has an "affinity" towards certain colors

Atiya just got in from grooming, she's all nice and fluffy again, just in time to go out in the rain/snow. #dog

#indiegame #indiegamedev #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #solodev Working on some loot generation post combat, trying to nail down stats / description generation.

#screenshotsaturday #godot #indiegame #solodev #indiegamedev Working on making different stats / classes based on the ability type selected.

Atiya finished picking out the Christmas presents for her #dog pals. Happy holidays!

#arch #python #amdfan Archlinux updated python to 3.13 today, so I've pushed up a new release of Amdfan to PyPI and AURs, utility to control your fan curve. More information / the repo here: github.com/mcgillij/amd...
