I haven't worked on a new game since I did my last #7DRL in 2019.

It feels so good to start fresh and do things *right* from the beginning, instead of trying to jam new stuff into a bloated house-of-cards-in-a-hurricane structure (I'm looking at you, Approaching Infinity).

I made a small but livable wage of 23 647 USD (+- 2000 pm) this year as a solo indie dev living in South Africa, this is how :

3000 Agents all running around doing their own thing with collisions n' stuff, Real world id never have more than a few hundred at once but it is cool to see the big swarm. Really proud of how efficient the collision implementation is.

The good thing about being a one person team is that I 100% agree with my team in all of their decisions

Been a Little while but I have finally set up the full rig and its supporting controls ready for skinning and animations. #blender #godot #godotengine #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame #soloindie #screenshotsaturday

Really been enjoying setting up this rig, Still have a lot to go before i Skin and Animate it. Doing the hands and then face next. Started on another following articles, done this one manually. #blender #godot #godotengine #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame #soloindie

Storage crates in AETHUS have coloured lights based on the state:

My desire is to make the inventory status clearer:
Empty: White
Contains Items: Change from Green to Red based on fullness.

What do you think? Is this clearer? Any issues you see with it?

Been going through the "Rigging isn't Scary: Manual Rigging in Blender", www.youtube.com/playlist?lis... Have got a basic rig in play with IK setup, Next stage is to weight paint and adjust topology for smooth movement. #blender #godot #godotengine #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame #soloindie

Spending today and likley this weekend, learning to manually rig a character and animate in Blender. I know i can use addons But i want to do it the hard way. After that will be moving it to Godot. #blender #godot #godotengine #indiegamedev #gamedev #indiegame #soloindie

Localization is 100% for -Story-
It was easier than expected, but a lot of work still.

Doing some immersion into the #soloindie #solodev ecosystem this week. Seems to be a severe lack of support systems. #indiegames

I'm still geeked over my first #soloindie game, Itsy, being a finalist for best mobile game! It's a small offering of a game but got my feet planted in indie. If you haven't played it yet and want to support otter - please give it a go 💜

My Indie Sunday post for AETHUS on r/Games absolutely exploded yesterday, so awesome to be at the top of the subreddit and have so many new eyes on the game.
