Inside of a cat model's skull. They look back at you!

Three cat models blended together, creating a hydra of some sort. They stand there, unmoving... with an unserious expression on their faces.

"i am a literal statue." A cat model standing on a block, pretending to be a statue. They're doing a good job at it lol

Here are some screenshots I have collected so far while making this game (still can't reveal it's name yet!)

Looking for the imposter(s)... in this MultimeshInstance3D

Even I don't remember where I put them lol

A cat model looking up at the cat tower, while they look back at them.

A screenshot of my cat model when I worked on weight painting (again). I needed to blend the weights so there were no harsh lines when their head twists. Still have to fix their shoulders though.

I'll wait until the game is more complete before polishing.

I meant to post this yesterday in conjunction with the other video... but you know... Bluesky.

A gentler ride this time.

There is an issue with the cat model sliding off the AnimatableBody3D as it rotates (even slowly!)...

Found an open issue on this problem. Hopefully it works out. github.com/godotengine/...

For now it'll just be a slidey train!

#godot #indiedev #gamedev

That’s what I thought VLC was converting the .avi file to in their dropdown (apparently it’s some apple thing, the .m4v extension). I’ll have a look at kdenlive, thanks for reminding me about it.

I started to work on one of the mechanics in the game, trains.

Umm...

#godot #indiedev #gamedev

More issues with uploading videos, renaming .m4v to .mov doesn't work. Trimming the same video on my phone works for some reason? I just used ffmpeg to change .avi to .mp4 and then trimmed it on my computer, which works (used VLC before)! Seems like the video length is correct as well.

Some silly flappy arms up close.

Using SpringArm3D for the camera, now the camera doesn't clip through the floor!

#godot #indiedev #gamedev

I was testing out the many bone modifiers in godot, and SpringBoneSimulator3D makes for some floppy arms lol

“Seriously why are you like this??”

“My arms are like jellyy”

Back at it again! I was working on data structures for conversations using csv files. Now every npc should be able to have their own unique dialogue. Translations should also be simple to add as well. Visually, progress looks the same...

One cat model looking at another cat model.

Cat model looks back at the cat model. Tower of cat models stand in the background with another cat model. Please ignore shenangians in background.

"Are you looking at me?"

"Why yes, I AM looking at you."

Made a little gif for #tamagotchijam! Go make one too!

itch.io/jam/30-years...

#pixelart #1bit

If I changed extension of ".m4v" to ".mov", uploading works! Now to figure out why the video is uploaded with a few seconds missing...

Recorded a quick video of the current state of interactions. You can talk to NPCs (no custom conversations yet).

I can't believe this took me days to do in the past, but now it only took me a few hours to add in (with less bugs!).

Learning indeed...

Panel 1: The Bun news anchor straightens their papers aggressively against the table and mumbles, "papers in order..." At the bottom left corner, the station name is shown, "BUN NEWS". The news ticker says, "Welcome~". Panel 2: The Bun looks up at the camera, lowers their papers, and clears their throat, "ehem... today we have a local bun interview". The news ticker changes in interest, "Wow! An interview?" Panel 3: Another Bun is introduced onto the scene at the news anchor's left side (right side of panel). The Bun news anchor lays their papers down, gestures to them, and asks, "what are your thoughts today?". They ponder for a moment, then reply, "... if you stare into the mirror, does that count towards resetting your eye strain?" The news ticker seems incredulous, "Health tips???" Panel 4: The Bun news anchor also seems concerned about the interviewee's mental wellbeing, their expression changes to a questioning and mildly concerned one. They conclude, "and so we have it folks... we'll have more news as we get it". They pick up their papers and aggressively straightens them once more. The interviewee Bun seems unconcerned, they sparkle and vigorously wave, "bye bye". The news ticker shares the sentiments of the news anchor, "An oddity..." it remarks. At the bottom of the four panels are the creator's Bluesky handle on the left and the date on the right, [Bluesky logo] jennydevs [blushing Bun] and 2026.04.09 respectively.

I had a thought.

Is anyone having issues with uploading videos recently? Uploading a video of x-m4v type is unsupported although I think I have done so before? Also a new issue with uploading trimmed videos (mov), what I see locally is different than the uploaded version (using a different device to upload it works)

"Why are you jumping????"

"I DON'T KNOWW"

Leaving a reminder here for myself that the dashed(!) lines are for editing the patch margins.

It’s a lovely sunny day today!

A cat sitting in a field of dandelion puffs, facing to the right and holding its knees. The breeze flows over them, carrying little dandelion puffs away to the left. The sky is blue and clear while the grass around them is a nice pale green.

Cat holding a tissue while tearing from their eyes, with a drippy nose. There are dandelion puffs pinned to their head. They are saying “my allergies”.

Some old concept art for my game! Would be nice to see this scene in there.

I have a name for the game but I need to draw assets and prepare other things…

#conceptart #indiedev #gamedev

At the top of the panel, written words are “spring cleaning in progress…”. A bun sweeps the grass, with leaves flying about from said action. There are sparkles around them. In the bottom left corner is a Bluesky logo and my name “jennydevs”, with a little blushing bun icon.

Worked on interaction, it seems to be ok for now! Store surrounding areas in a dictionary for looking at them (enter & exit signals). To actually interact with them look at them directly (raycast3d).

hey hey hey hey hey yo

#gamedev #godot

I'm still working on interactions though, it's a bit of a struggle deciding what happens when several areas are in the same place. It'll be a boon when I figure it out!

Three cat models stand around in front of a rounded doorway / tunnel, staring off into space.

When I quickly added a wall and doorway using CSG meshes, I realized that the scale of this game is seriously much larger than the little concept drawing I made. I can't wait to see this to the end!

#gamedev #godot

Cat model clipping through the wall, with only its face, belly, and toes showing.

Here’s an actual screenshot for #screenshotsaturday

“Oi”

Not much progress, but head turning is smoother!
