Greetings Bluelings! A quick one before the weekend. Haven’t shared much about the mind control ability in my game. Still tweaking how that should look and feel. Any inputs welcome. Any games that does this well? #gamedev #indiegame #game

Greetings everybody! Behold the Saucer Shield. As my game CoZ is set on the 👽 Grey's home world but in their middle ages 🏰, a lot of the game art is a blend of traditional scifi and medieval history. Just wait till you see the architecture! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Greetings Bluelings! It might surprise some, but Child of Zeta actually features many equipable items with a lightweight RPG system. Items can give you more strength, resistance and even increase telepathic powers. I'm curious hear what complexity you'd expect from a system like this? #gamedev

Greetings fellow indie devs and game lovers! Some new progress on eh water splashing and dodge rolls and LOTS of particles. Not sure how to get more stuff done when it's this fun to just roll in the grass and jump in the water. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Am I the only one who come back to old game logic I’ve supposedly made weeks ago and look at the code like some stranger has done it. No recollection whatsoever! #gamedev #indiedev

Greetings Bluelings! It's been a little. Finally got to play with the more nasty kind of Psygnoid. The Blocker! As you can see it blocks your Telepathic abilities (and button) if you're in it's range. Luckily it's not immune to your arrows. It also give you Psygnoid Cortex, a useful loot. #gamedev

Oh hello little guys! These small friendly ones are part of a sub-species of Zeta Reticuli fauna called Psygnoids that has evolved to use telepathy in various different ways, some more sinister than others. Certain Psygnoids should definitely be avoided. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

If you’re curious, Child of Zeta is a game taking place on the Greys’ homeworld Zeta Reticuli, but in their Middle Ages. A top down action adventure platformer where you get to play as a Grey alien up against a terrifying unknown. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gaming

Bluesky #question. Been wondering why it feels so quiet here compared to Threads. If you follow an account do you actually see the posts? Is the algorithm tuned towards hashtags? I would have thought Bluesky was more connection focused. Or am I posting on times where people are not active? #gamedev

Back with new updates after some relaxing time away from the machine! Been thinking about making fishing mechanics 🏹🐟 a bit different by using bow and then collecting your prize by swimming out. Been fun to get some water interactions in too. Far from done though. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Happy New Year everyone! It’s been super fun and encouraging to share the progress of Child of Zeta here and I can’t wait to do much more in 2025 and keep up with all the other great projects being shared here. Thanks for following my project! 🙌🏼 #gamedev #indiedev

Greetings Bluelings! A small Sunday update testing some stylized water look and feel. The game starts on a small remote island, so water will be pretty important. There'll be more sinister looking (and dangerous) waters too. Any thoughts? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #gaming
