🏰PinballXTowerDefense Progress🏰 Did a lot of refactoring over the last days and also redesigned the main gameplay-loop. Now a level contains of 10 waves and after beating one the player can build and upgrade - but - can also risk it and early spawn more waves for bonus currency 😊💰 #indiedev

Added a scan mechanic with the intention of opening-up non-combat exploration objectives, but it also works with enemies as a "get up close and dodge" skill-check. WISHLIST NIGHTSHIFT GALAXY: store.steampowered.com/app/3038700/...

Mavuika from Genshin Impact Commissioned by @venthros Thank you! ✨ #Mavuika #マーヴィカ

Doodles from tonight’s stream! 🫶💜✨ Was just going to draw Flint for Typhlosion Tuesday but I got carried away, hehe

Got death threats for being a fake furry (and being black) ((and being a game dev)) 😔

Fucked up

Also, while I work on the upcoming Chapters for KoH, we have been in the process of updating quite a decent amount of character Models! We will start simple with Seth here; sporting new fused fingers (which can unfuse!) and thicker legs, inspired by @saillaser1.bsky.social doodle of him!

Math side project of the week: adding a dynamic neon lighting shader to a generic fantasy dungeon crawler project I got bored of. I'm gonna turn it into a #cyberpunk dungeon crawler instead! (Everything's optimized to make dark areas look cool) #gamedev #indiedev #pixelart #lowpoly

Polishing up "shmup"-style weapon upgrades -- though I toned it down, I think my alert dialogue might still be a bit over the top, haha. #ScreenShotSaturday WISHLIST NIGHTSHIFT GALAXY: store.steampowered.com/app/3038700/...

Refining shotgun details in my "bullet-hell" map. Stimulating me to think about handling weapons in "shmuppier" ways, like you pick them up as powerups during play, and they layer, as opposed to a vanilla Armored-Core-style loadout? #indiegamedev

More ProBuilder collision creation in #Unity! Use ProBuilder to make a custom collision mesh, get rid of perf-heavy mesh colliders in your environments, and fine tune your mesh in-engine. You can also use it as a NavMesh! #indiedev #gamedev #madewithunity #indiegame #videogames #jrpg #gravastar

So there is a little discussion I would like to have with you guys. Chapter 03 is coming along VERY NICELY, and a large portion of it is done. ...However, I have been heavily contemplating IF I should bundle it with Chapter 04 for KoH for a variety of reasons. (1/2)

@jeffharp.bsky.social 🌟design process for the new character design Star Sniper 🌟 All the characters for the game are almost done 😇 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #characterdesign #characterart

✨Since we are showing off members of the cast to come here the drawing process from our teams✨ 🎨: ❤️ @jeffharp.bsky.social ❤️ please follow and check him out 😘 #indiegame #gamedev #art #characterdesign #indiedev

@jeffharp.bsky.social does such great work and has been slamming out bangers designs for the game with all my vague instructions

Process

Not only do I have to draw so many body variants/emotes/headshots for the character-select screen, but they all have to be more on-model than normal because you can see multiple at the same time 😭

Hand-drawing my mecha lately has refined my critique of 3D-modelled anime robots. It's so much easier to start with a strong gesture & then rationalize the mechanics vs. starting with a rigid model & coercing it with forced-perspective to make a strong pose on the canvas.

Low poly in enormous quotation marks 🥰 (Gonna try to optimise her poly count a little bit, but I'm getting pulled away from my computer for the weekend...) #lowpoly #blender #3dart #robot #robotgirl #art

While I finish up more cutscenes, Here is a new visual Mechanic Update; The Devilish Counter! When an enemy eye glows red and makes a distinct sound, that means you can counter it with an attack of your own. It can be an enemy projectile or soon to be introduced melee attacks!
