🌍 God Complex: Iteration 29 COMPLETE 🌍

Followers now actually fight instead of staring awkwardly.
They can also attack houses, and little defenders come out to defend!

Progress, violence, and choreography, in that order.

#GodComplexGame #MadeWithUnity #IndieGame #Gamedev

🌍 MAJOR GOD COMPLEX UPDATE 🌍 ECS combat is working! ⚔️
Followers are now almost fully converted to DOTS/ECS.
Just need to get house invasion back up and running - oh, and the network animation sync, and then we should be good to go.

#GameDev #IndieDev #Unity3D #ECS #GodComplexGame

🌍GOD COMPLEX 🌍A quick test with 2,000 followers.
The real game will have fewer - more like around 100 per god, with 6 gods total.
Still, cool to see what DOTS/ECS can let us do.

🌍 God Complex: Iteration 28 COMPLETE 🌍
Followers are wandering again! 🎉
More efficient, more confused, and there are more of them.
They also now know their god’s territory (mostly).
Combat’s next up for conversion to DOTS/ECS.

🌍 God Complex Update 🌍
Here’s a poor follower dying, but doing it in style! 💀
Powered by Rukhanka DOTS Animation + Behavior Designer Pro.
Even death deserves good animation.

🌍 God Complex: Iteration 27 COMPLETE 🌍
Has it really been 27 weeks?!
Anyhoo, got DOTS animations working (thanks, Rukhanka!) and finally made ECS behavior trees tick.
Next step teach them how to walk again, only bigger, better and faster with ECS. 😅

🌍 God Complex — Iteration 26 COMPLETE 🌍

Followers now gather in glorious T-pose armies ✨
This week, I bit the bullet and moved from GameObjects to DOTS.
It means we can finally have legions instead of a handful.

#GodComplexGame #Indiedev #Gamedev #DOTS

So, technically 🌎 GOD COMPLEX 🌎 made it into DEBUG Magazine #11.
The screenshot might be tiny but, hey, print is forever. 😂📖

#IndieDev #GodComplexGame #gamedev #DebugMagazine #TinyButMighty

My game was getting sluggish.
Tried manual-ticked behavior trees: a little faster, not fast enough for me.
Time for the big guns: DOTS ECS.
Turbo mode: engage (hopefully). 🚀

So far: one little guy in t-pose. And he's waist-deep in grass. It's a start.

I asked for brutal feedback and oh boy, I got it. Lots to chew on here. Guess not everyone remembers Populous as fondly as I do?

So what do I still need to do to release the beta?

#GodComplexGame #Gamedev #Indiedev

Hey, I just tweaked the God Complex website. What do you think?

🌍 God Complex — Iteration 24 COMPLETE 🌍

The floods are working beautifully now: followers drown correctly (RIP little guys) and land dissolves with style.
Also switched from git to Diversion - faster, smoother, and way easier to share assets with artists.

#GodComplexGame #MadeWithUnity #GameDev

🌊😇 Testing follower drowning in God Complex… it works divinely 🙌✨
🙏 Sadly, some poor souls didn’t make it… 💀 RIP little guys. 🙏

#GodComplexGame #GameDev #IndieDev

🌊 The flood in God Complex is powered by a custom shader that was crafted by my my (highly skilled) daughter, Valerie❤️
As the waters rise, sandy shores climb higher, transforming the land in real time.
Loving how alive it feels!
#GameDev #IndieDev #GodComplexGame

Today was all about tweaking the land shader. I made the world dissolve.
Should add interest to flooding.

🌍 God Complex — Iteration 21 COMPLETE 🌍

Test environment is finally up and running.
The ice biome’s coming along nicely - should see some chilly new houses next week.

🌍 God Complex — Iteration 17 COMPLETE 🌍

This week was all about tearing up the behavior tree and putting it back together in a way that won’t make future-me cry.
Major refactor done; much easier to extend now.

#GodComplexGame #IndieDev #RefactorAndPray

📝 Current God Complex dev board:
✅ flood the world
✅ spawn gods
✅ drown followers
✅ fight progress bars
✅ make houses angry

I promise this is all part of the plan. Probably.

#gamedev #indiedev #GodComplexGame

I've been working on the behavior tree for God Complex using Behavior Designer Pro. It's a nice way to visualize all the decision points in a little follower's existence.

#indiedev #gamedev #GodComplexGame

Two followers enter.
One follower leaves.

#GodComplexGame #gamedev #indiedev

🌟 THE GODS ARE WAITING 🌟
Will you rise or be forgotten?
