Monster Hunter Wilds' combat is the best it's ever been, but it's hard to see what the point of the "Wilds" part was when the only way you interact with the environment is by playing an on-rails herb shooter from the back of your free Uber ride to the monster

Needed a creative shakeup so I made a silly game jam game. If you like swinging your FISTS so hard that you go flying, give it a try. Playable in browser! davidsap.itch.io/powersmash #indiegames #gamedev #unity3D

Ive been thinking about scope and how to categorize #indiegames, and decided to try by their mechanical depth I’ve come up with the progression: 1. Curiosity 2. Toy 3. Amusement 4. Game Curiosity: an experience that provides 0 primary mechanics for enjoyment -> beholding it is the fun 🧵 1/5

fantasy books used to have cool titles and now they're all called like "A Knife of Silver Knives" or "The Most Secret London" or "The Bonedaughter's Nemesis"

got the basics of enemy detection & pathfinding going -- certainly not Zelda quality but should do fine for the simpler combat 🫠 I would follow this cat mushroom to the end of the earth #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegames

A gentle reminder that Johnathon Selstad has compiled one of the best libraries of mathematical tools for Unity. 📊 Inverse kinematics, Bézier functions, Kalman filters, soft bodies, and much more. If you are a game developer, this is a game-changer! 👇 github.com/zalo/MathUti...

just a little progress each day - today, lock on switching

time to show off my new project so far for #screenshotsaturday! only about a week into this so far, but happy with what's in so far. it's an adventure game with broad stroke inspiration from some of my all time favorites - wind waker, kingdom hearts, dark cloud, jak and dax :) #gamedev #indiegames

lol and just like that DracoDrift is back on hiatus! I came across @goofyblocks.bsky.social excellent in-progress AirRide-like, and decided to put pause on my own to pursue other projects for now (update on that soon!) if you're a KAR fan like me, go support them!

One more update from the past few months - draco evolution! as you gain/lose powerups (in this case offense), your draco visually changes. other players can get a sense of your stats at a glance! #gamedev #indiedev #indiegames
