Modeled, rigged, and animated this little chicken for use in my latest project (gonna have a little quest where you have to herd a few of them into a pen). Went with this squishy jumping animation for his movement instead of a walk/run because it seemed cuter. #blender #indiedev #gamedev #3dmodeling

Added in a super super basic inventory system and made it so you can get items from chests. The chest functionality took far longer than I'm willing to admit to get everything working and decoupled. It's still very barebones and ugly but at least it works. #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Got the beginnings of the interact system working. Got the interaction focus outline, smooth camera repositioning, and reorienting the player towards the interactable all working. No dialogue system built yet, so it just goes back to idle after the interacting state is done #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

As I continue to learn and practice blender, I’ve been trying different versions of stylized trees. I definitely need more practice, but I could use all of your opinions. Which one so far looks better? #Blender #indiedev #gamedev #3dModelling

Spruced up my test island with some textures, water, and a tiny bit of atmospheric fog. It’s probably not the greatest thing to be working on aesthetics this early when I have a lot more core functionality I need to add, but it’s fun to experiment while I’m learning 3D. #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Not 100% sure yet. I’m thinking something along the lines of A Short Hike where it’s mostly about exploration, movement ability unlocking, and NPC interaction. It’s my first foray into 3d so I’m just experimenting so far.

I made the beginnings of an island so I don't have to test on ugly orange CSG meshes anymore. It's very rough, but I learned a ton about the workflow and I think it's okay for my first attempt. Will probably end up redoing it from scratch several times to practice. #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Been tweaking the animations a bit. It's not much, but I am finding that small changes can go a long way to make things feel better. Added a bank/tilt when turning while gliding and added a tiny bit of squish when impacting the ground. #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

Added a little double jump and a vertical launch ability. Pretty fun when combo'd with the glide. It definitely needs a lot more refinement, but I feel like I'm getting somewhere. #Godot #gamedev #indiedev

Threw my character in Godot and gave him a character controller. Also added in this little magical float/glide thing that is pretty fun to fly around with. I'm not sure what this is going to become, but it's a start. Gonna start playing around with other movement mechanics #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

I got a little burnt out from my last project and took a break. I’ll go back to it eventually but I wanted to try and learn something new, so I started messing around in Blender. I made this super simple character and got a very basic idle animation. #blender #3dmodelling #gamedev

An artist friend of mine recently gave me this awesome print of a piece he recently finished because he knew I loved Hollow Knight and Silksong and I couldn’t be more excited to hang it in my office. #hollowknight #silksong

So much discipline required to stay the course when you are a few months into your project and a shiny new game idea pops into your head. Must. Finish. Current. Game. #gamedev #indiedev

Got super sick over the weekend, slept a ton, and got essentially nothing new done in my project. Self care is super important, but does anyone else find it hard to take care of yourself when all you want be doing is working on your game? #gamedev #indiedev

One of the small quests in the first level is going to be hunting crows to get their feathers to give to the town fletcher (still need to do the feather spawning). They fly away when you get too close so you can't sword them to death. The crossbow is needed. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Finished the werewolf enemy. He is immune to sword damage until you stun him by hitting him with the crossbow a few times, although you need a bit of space to hit the shot as if you are too close/point blank, he'll block it. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Started working out and testing some of the initial movement behavior for this new werewolf enemy. Without the attack animation or hitboxes added, he kinda feels like a loyal puppy-man following me around obediently 😄 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Whipped up this crossbow. It's not the fastest shooting weapon ever and it's not very effective against skeletons, but it will do the job in a pinch. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

Been working on the animations for this little werewolf enemy. It's a rough draft and needs some adjustments, but it's a work in progress for prototyping. These are most of the animations needed for its planned behaviors. Still gotta do his attack and getting stunned. #gamedev #pixelart #aseprite

These are great. A lot of great follows in here. Are these being curated/added to at all or are they closed off? Would love to be added to the solo dev pack if they are being updated further.

This is so cool. I’m constantly prowling the web for tools that help with random tasks like these all the time. I’m gonna get so much use out of this. Very excited. Thank you for everything you do!

Made a little monster arena trap today where a few skeletons spawn and brambles block off the area until the player kills them. #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #godot

I couldn’t stop laughing about this when you were talking about it on Scope Creepers.

This looks awesome. When you posted the original sprite animation, I thought he was sleeping and just snoring. Now I’m sad 😢

That chef thief needs to stop complaining. Potatoes are wonderful and can be served in many different forms

She’s gonna need to see a chiropractor.

Started experimenting with NPC voices. I recorded myself making a few random mouth sounds, bitcrushed them, and randomized them playing with slight pitch variations when you talk to Eustace the shopkeeper. (He's the only NPC in the game so far.) #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

After working on a million tiny bugs for hours, I finally figured out and finished the shop functionality for my current game. The UI is still pretty ugly, but everything is functional and persistent with items separated by 2 separate collectable currencies. #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot

I started building my game’s shop system and I spent way longer on the UI than on any other UI element, but it still looks like trash 😂 Good thing it’s just placeholder visuals. When I actually get to polishing the UI, I’m gonna have to do some serious research into UI/UX design. #gamedev #indiedev

The main way of healing is going to be resting in beds or at campfires. Got the campfire working tonight. Heals the player and respawns previously killed monsters (similar to how benches work in Hollow Knight). A little unsure about the resting tune. I think it needs work. #gamedev #indiedev #godot
