lowpoly level geometry featuring some rocky terrain and metallic walls.

limited progress, but built two more sections in the testing grounds. #hobbystreak #trenchbroom #godot

Hey #TrenchBroom and #Doom bsky, is there a tool that will convert or import Doom WAD maps into TrenchBroom compatible map files? Seems like the answer is no, and TB "importing" WADs is more for textures and other files?

I was so excited to have the sunlight work fairly close to something I want that I had to share it. #trenchbroom

I'm bouncing between this more surreal/ nightmare presentation and just straight up ripping off SUPERHOT depending on what ends up looking better.

In my free time these past couple weeks I've been learning #TrenchBroom. Eventually I want to get into making some playable maps for Quake, but for now I'm just experimenting and making more sandbox oriented environments.

A screenshot in Trenchbroom of a hallway in Quake leading to some stairs, with signage of a gold key and yellow arrows pointing towards the stairs.

Another hallway in Quake in unshaded textures and wireframe. An archway is tinted yellow, with a strip of "caution" striping on the floor beginning a hallway that ascends some stairs to a gold keycard door.

The gold keycard door in question at the end of a rusty metal hallway. Yellow arrows and keycard signage is placed on either side of the door.

other people: *fights about yellow paint in level design*

me: "I lived through the incoherent fps maze bullshit from the '90s, I must make a better world for those who follow after me"

Lesson learned: working without patches is *difficult*. :(

Did not successfully complete my entry for the 30th Anniversary pack, but I'm still finishing this, and will release it on my own as my own little celebration of Quake.

#quake1 #trenchbroom #leveldesign

A flat colour "prototype" textured sci-fi hallway with curved lights arching from floor to ceiling, framing a door. Through a narrow window, an industrial area can be seen.

An industrial room modelled in Trenchbroom, with two sets of stairs sneaking between pillars and crossbeams to a door on the second floor. It appears to be a loading area, with a lift off to the right side that can take a platform up to a flat area surrounded by lights.

Another sci-fi hallway painted in blue prototype textures in Trenchbroom. Arches with lights embedded in them frame each hallway, with the right hallway descending down stairs to a future door, and another hallway revealing a small nook with a prototype blockout of a computer terminal.

It's coming down to the wire for my entry in the 30th Anniversary Quake map jam. I really, really want to cross this finish line! Pray to some eldritch gods for me, will ya?

(prototype textures are temporary, we've got a special texture pack we're using)

#quake1 #trenchbroom #leveldesign #gamedev

:3

(implemented an animation system, character repetition pitch maintaining, mouth to pfp sync, and.. well, you'll see if you watch :3c)

Made a video on a slick trick I discovered in my map editor. Surely I'm not the first one to discover this? 🤔🤔🤔

Olive tries.

(the text system has had some bugfixes which have thankfully made the entire dialogue process way easier. Also redid Olive's idle, and drew her some faces >:333!!)

Another fun update from the level design department
#boomershooter #trenchbroom #boomershooter #slipknot #indiedev #gamedev

More complex to implement than anticipated, but largely done and scaleable! The dev journey continues >:3

Battle entry go spinny! Also here have a peek of Olive's idle anim :3

Anyone using #trenchbroom with #unity, I've got a question about vertex vectors.
In quake terms you need to orient 45 degree rotations carefully to prevent floating point coordinates on vertexes.
If you're using Trenchbroom for Unity does it matter at all for Unity's BSP importing plugins?

Touring the strangely lit premises...

Two girls on vector platforms in an abstract pixel void, one green with a purple outline, and the other pink with a blue outline. Three exclamation marks are shown in the abyss to stage right.

Finally decided on a name for the pink gal, it's Cat! Now that Olive also finds herself in a battle scene, Cat now has some company :D

Some more work on the spooky spider cave.

A Trenchbroom screenshot showing a prototype-textured hallway intersection, with the far hallway rising up a set of stairs.

Another Trenchbroom screenshot showing some kind of loading area with tracks in the floor leading to a lift with a box on it.

I wanted to get at least the interiors fully blocked out yesterday and that didn't happen, this would be so much easier if I had bezier patches! I'm so much more used to mapping in Doom 3

#leveldesign #quake1 #trenchbroom

Productive day so far! Animations on those indicators could use a lil refining but overally happy. Also happy with the battle ost's progress as well, though I'm deliberating whether to share yet.
#indiedev #gamedev #aseprite #trenchbroom #godot #gameart

Base movement is implemented!

Both the walk anim and the movement itself took the entire day unfortunately, but it works so I still consider this a win!

A pink and blue pixel mage gal standing on a floating platform, looking fairly bored

"Yeah I guess I can vibe in an abyss for a bit." *shrug*

(trenchbroom meshes nicer with aseprite than I was anticipating :D)

A Godot debug window showing a prototype trenchbroom imported map for a currently unnamed game.

Incredibly WIP but also this is the farthest I've ever come in actually having something I like looking at in Godot. I think TrenchBroom is here to stay as a dev tool for this gal >:3

1 of 4 screenshots. A large entryway is shown with a skylight and ramp that leads out of frame. two other hallways also lead out of frame.

2 of 4 screenshots. The layout for a small school library is shown.

Screenshot 4 of 4. The outer facade of a school is shown.

Overhead of an environment block-out. There's one central courtyard.

In-game screenshot showing the southern-most corner of the environment from the player's pov.

Taking a break from Slay the Spire to post what I've been working on. #screenshotsaturday #trenchbroom

Ice material #GodotEngine #trenchbroom

Trying some interconnected level design, this is a lot harder than what I though.

Anyhow, great exercise for a jam and a good base of knowledge for the next game hehe

#trenchbroom

All games need a spider cave... right?

#indiedev #gamedev #godot #rpg #trenchbroom #func_godot #world_building

3 variants of a dresser made in 2024 in #trenchbroom and imported into #godot via func_godot. Drawers are individual components and were able to be animated separately.
The idea was to have multiple simple objects for quick prototyping and also be able to tweak them separately

Getting somewhere.

#Val'tyFPS #boomershooter #gamedev #indiegame #godot #trenchbroom

Think I ran out of nails for this ramshackle scaffolding... I'll have to run to the hardware store tomorrow to continue work (or just get a solid night sleep! 😆)
