Besides writing lots of dialogue, I’ve been adding lots of small animations across @kintgame.bsky.social to make things feel a but more alive #indiegame #indiedev #unity #gamedev #fantasygame

I hate making icons, but these are better than the placeholders at least

@ grok is this true

Our lore fragment rewards now tell you how much currency they’ve rewarded you back!

#gamedev #indiedev #devlog #fantasyrpg

Accessibilityyyyyy #gamedev #indiedev

And what its currently looking like, almost there with animating all the screens! But next we try to make the settinsg screens actually work and then look at typewriter effects/ cursors control and other accessibility things

This was how my game started off, i mapped out all the screens and use cases first in wireframes, which I think sped up implementation a tonne, since i was already dry thinking of reusable components / scaling structures etc #gamedev #indiedev

We have some animations in! The editor isnt as bad as I thought, very like After Effects but my god was a pain to get some of them working with code as theyre not just activated on enable #gamedev

Thank you! It’ll likely need some tweaks to make it feel more alive but shaders and materials is definitely the unknown for me lol

I’ve made everything myself in Photoshop! The music is from the asset store though

Thank you! Thats kinda the idea, text based mmorpg!

Progress update on @kintgame.bsky.social , core systems are almost fully working! Still to do the settings and fix some small tweaks with how dialogue works!

I am dreading the vfx / animation polish 😂 #gamedev

So i had to build a toggle of numkeys thatd fake the date of the week and suddenly it works!

So I’m testing out the main social system of my game and its the first time I’m dealing with schedules in the server that locks / changes UI which is great but its working too well and I couldnt test the UI that is there during the weekdays 😂

Updated the logo to make it feel more old, unity is not liking my glow gradients so will see how to get this effect in the title screen #gamedev

So the next major thing I’m looking at is the whole login flow, so title screen, login process, and then the in-between screens while the client pulls the info from the backend so it’ll feel seamless! Already the calls and response are very quick but there's obviously gonna be smoke and mirrors

Currently it checks your local account in steam and pulls the information into the game and creates a user, but Im upgrading that to be more secure with authentication tickets from steam itself so no hacking!

Progress on my game! We have a working dialogue system, travel system, social system including chat and profiles all talking to a live backend on AWS!
I’ve also built some editor tools that will help the writing a tonne, so great progress!

Next is user account and authentication #gamedev #ui #ux

since my game is essentially online world building, @brandonsanderson.com class on world building is amazing to frame the thought process

This is the progress over the last few days! Only a few more pages to go over before an art pass and then figuring out how to do nice vfx in Unity

Spent some time cleaning up buttons since I have 75% of the UI blocked in! #gamedev

I've been trying to improve my UI Art skills for a while and now since I'm working on my own game I can finally put it to use! here's a little peak into some clickable elements #gamedev #UI #UX

I finally started my own little #gamedev project! The game design flow and ux wireframes are roughly mapped out but the sheer amount of visual and writing work to be done my god

Pears are like a watered down useless apple

I feel this, i only took up doing 3d again after a few years off and then to fight every habit of trying to rush it killed me

We had such a great chat!

Next project will be the cyte 09 Beefeater skin, royal guard vibes #tennogen #warframe
