Summer Slow Jams dates and themes are live for June, July, and August! Learn and collaborate with the community to make games every month this summer 😎 Huge thanks to @art-mino.bsky.social for this year's awesome art! Time to games together 🎉

Airships, ghosts, challenges, player stat tracking, new terrain, new VFX, and a blimpful of bugfixes! youtu.be/Kks4M9M0upA #gamedev

Airships bayybeeeee

First #screenshotsaturday in a while, still recovering from brain stuff. New camera! No longer locked so now you can see all the nice vistas. #godot4 #gamedev #indiedev And also importing the goblin week models.

New flight test as we start putting the pieces together! www.youtube.com/watch?v=mUnb... #gamedev #flight

Today's dose of cute is a trio of Great Egret chicks who look like they're having a serious meeting. About the availability of fish perhaps. Those are some chunky legs and enormous feet! #birds 🌿

Quick update vid. New level designs emphasize a flowy, skatepark-like experience. We're rapidly approaching v0.3 with many things still "in flight", couldn't be more stoked about the direction! youtu.be/eXrN5E3CWzI #gamedev

I made a little cutout of the Ironclad from @megacrit.com ‘s Slay the Spire!

Quick clip. It's getting easier to dial in the flip-into-dive maneuvering with the recent control improvements youtu.be/D-yGxoxu-8Y

Working on a water shader using a displacement map (gradient noise) over voronoi, both scrolling. Only works on a flat plane for now, but looks kinda cool stretched across the waterfall

Flight testing ongoing for v0.3. Experimenting with new obstacles, flight mechanics, and cloud shaders! www.youtube.com/watch?v=RklR...

Testing some big changes to movement mechanics, enabling smoother and more skilled flying! youtu.be/7uYpT8C-4Jw

Excited to show off our Sun Skimmer v0.2.0 update! Many things in flux this cycle, very excited about the direction. Full devlog: outofsample.itch.io/sun-skimmer/... #gamedev #flyinggame

Having one of those days where I’m trying to code but my mind is stuck inside a Windows 95 screensaver youtu.be/oRL5durPleI?...

Kicking off a new dev cycle on Sun Skimmer! Some key tasks (target Jan 2): - Tutorial - Improved flight mechanics - Ordered/timed challenges - Wind currents - Camera controls - Bird -> Glider - Refined art direction - Terrain updates More Flight Log vids coming soon! #gamedev

Flight Log 2: new day, new route! #gamedev www.youtube.com/watch?v=3krd...

I'm bummed to leave Portland, but excited to keep in touch with the incredible PIGSquad community online. Looking forward to new in-person connections with gamedev and artist communities in Los Angeles!

I've made a TRAILER for Gratis my spooky shopkeep sim game! I've also JUST added a brand new character storyline to the game! It's free to play on itch! It takes 20 minutes! PLAY IT! marlowedobbe.itch.io/gratis www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmNx... #gamedev #gamemaker

Makes me wonder, will I ever be able to play a game I made and not think about changes I want to make to it?

Flight on v0.1.0 - No changes since the jam, but wanted to put out a debut "Flight Log", hopefully first of many! www.youtube.com/watch?v=XQ-p...

picoCAD launches on Steam tomorrow. Marketing has gone way better than expected so I'm both nervous and excited. Want to pitch in a wishlist during the last hours? ✨ bit.ly/picoCAD Shares are highly appreciated! Here's Kaneda's bike by @bencanfield.itch.io #gamedev #lowpoly #wishlistWednesday

Part of taking a break involves dreaming of snowboarding, and maybe even doodling a mushroom boi dreaming of snowboarding

I'm excited to take a lil break and come back with fresh ideas. It's been about a month and a half since the start of the project, it's my first serious attempt and my motivation is higher than ever. And getting to work with a teammate has been super rewarding #gamedev

v0.1.0 gameplay update video, as seen on the itch.io page www.youtube.com/watch?v=bT1i... #gamedev

Sun Skimmer is a flying game focused on exploration and skill expression. Can you find all the hidden challenges? outofsample.itch.io/sun-skimmer This v0.1.0 release marks the end of the Finish Your Game Jam, and the beginning of something more! Grateful to PIGSquad for hosting the jam! #gamedev

Excited to share some progress following the Finish Your Game Jam! Sun Skimmer is a flying game focused on exploration and Skill expression. #gamedev #indiegame www.youtube.com/shorts/RNIh_...

the first results with forests and roads are starting to come in! green represents /very/ dense foliage (passage not guaranteed in all directions) so it may make sense for these cells to block roads completely. another approach would be to have them be passable, but very high cost.

Took a short trip to Shader Land to make some visual feedback for the skimming mechanic
