Die erste Spielszene von Alpaca (Alpaca Ltd: Production and Cargo Assistant) – noch einige Platzhalter und viel 'polishing' vor einem… aber 'aufgetragen' ist schon ordentlich – und wer diese Referenz versteht ;) weiß, in welchem Jahrzehnt das Vorbild liegt.

Alpaca Ltd: Production and Cargo Assistant – nach den letzten Monaten 'nur' Web-Entwicklung hat es mal wieder Spaß gemacht, ein wenig Game-Dev zu machen… ein Spiel im Sinne von M.U.L.E. bzw. Traders…

For this #screenshotsaturda a new video. Showing the movement of the #pirate to go to work and fulfil their needs. Of course, with a little bug on the end 😉 #cthulhu #steampunk #gamedev #indiegamedev #godotengine #gaming #indiegame #gamedevelopment #indiedev @godotengine.org

For #wipwednesday, a short look at a new overview of the floors of a house. Working on a need and behaviour system for the minions and places they can use. #pirate #cthulhu #steampunk #gamedev #indiegamedev #godotengine #gaming #indiegame #gamedevelopment #indiedev @godotengine.org

Happy #LoreSunday! (Yep, new tag! 😉) You asked about my game, so let's start exploring its world together today! Future Sundays will share specific lore. But today: What's your most burning question about the game? Ask away! #pirate #cthulhu #steampunk #gamedev #indiegamedev #godotengine #gaming

For today's #ScreenshotSaturday, we have a first look at Minion-Info-Overview in the logbook. Here you have a first glance at multiple features like the inventory, a multi-layer character and stats #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

Ok… on yesterday's #ScreenshotSaturday, the first reactions and questions about the game concept came in… so let's start with the first impressions and look behind the scenes. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 10/01/2026

Let's see what's on the slab – for #ScreenshotSaturday Currently reworking the reflection and changing the shader to work with a depthmap. Working fine 😄 And also a glance from a new character. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

One for #FunnyBugs Maybe a little bit too creative for 'what can I use instead, when I could not find the right tool' (wrong naming within chracter overview) #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

First things first: Happy new year \o/ So, it's been a while – again. I'm not very good at this ;) Currently, I'm working on an overhaul for the GUI, and here's the first impression #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

I've heard about big exemplars in outland places… but I feel this is ridiculous. Are these still fireflies or more like phoenixflies. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk #FunnyBugs

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

Last week was Board Game-Saturday… this week it's #ScreenshotSaturday again. Still not sure about the final art style – but I kind of like the new ship. Your thoughts? #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

Not being on holiday doesn't mean only being able to work on the project daily – you also need to remember where you left your work 😆 Rework the Character-Overview and assign the worker to buildings. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

0113

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

So, after the holidays, I've needed some time to get back on my work project. Also, there will be many background tasks in the near future, which will lead to fewer new pictures and videos. But – not today 😉 #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

As promised, a new video with lots of new kerfuffle to show. Besides the first characters, I've added a bunch of info panels. NPC-, Minion-List and a room info panel. In the moment, just text, but… #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Introducing the first 6 rooms in the game. You can already see where we are aiming, but at this moment, I'm not sure if it should be possible to build multiple rooms at once in one house. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

0146

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 16/10/2025

It was close, but more people voted for pixel art rather than comic style. So I updated my tile-sets and added some options before recreating the world, and made everything more snazzy. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

0144

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Still pondering the style of the game. What do you think, A (Pixelart) or B (Comic)? #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 14/10/2025

So, that was quite a journey! It's still not perfect, but you can now drag, scroll and zoom into the scene. The problem was the water shader and its positioning. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 12/10/2025

Needed to rearrange the scenes and nodes to implement camera movement. I used this situation to rework the environment. So we now have a moon, some snazzy new clouds, a day-night cycle and a #FunnyBug #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

0134

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 11/10/2025

So… ramble on with the building process. I've switched to some bigger rooms and give the 'highrise' a more housish look. Not quite sure about the graphic style, but we'll get there. #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

0133

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 09/10/2025

Well, yesterday was a `depression day`, and today there was a lot to refactor, because of some struggles with the click events. So I needed to change the room-place management to a state machine. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

0153

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 07/10/2025

It's been a while… and maybe I will tell the story behind all the kerfuffle. But, we're back. For reasons, I've decided to switch to the pirate game. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #Pirate #cthulhu #steampunk

Another 'That went in an absolutely different way than planned' Day – but instead of 'mounting the weapons, I've overhauled the garage to give a better overview of the parts of the ship. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

0215

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 22/07/2025

Yeah - finally, you can see the cost of a card and also determine whether it can be activated. Next will be mounting the weapons in the right place and activating them after playing the related card. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

0152

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 21/07/2025

So, we're coming close to the next milestone. From proof of concept to proper handling with the help of an Event-, Game-, and Controller Manager. Er, yes, and killing some minor bugs 😄 And you get the idea of a new scene in between #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

0205

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 19/07/2025

Not what I had intended for the weekend, but I take it 😉. You can now race your custom ship, and the canyon track has also undergone a slight update to fit the size – and so I adjusted the colours, too 😃 #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #ScreenshotSaturday

0175

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 17/07/2025

So – there was some kerfuffle I needed to take care of, but today I managed to return to the game… and it was pretty productive. Started to implement the hangar and some configurations for the ship. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

0164

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 06/07/2025

PHEW PHEW PHEW – Worked on burning cards and using them to activate the weapon. I think it's quite a solid state at this time. Next will be the interplay of all elements, and some adjustments to the shaders. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

1205

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 04/07/2025

There is a slight stutter in the key controls, so the card selection is not as smooth as I would like it to be. However, I'm satisfied with the progress, especially after I started a major refactoring after watching a new course. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

0134

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 30/06/2025

Finished the overhaul and rework of the old code base with the possibility to collect the energy-gems \o/ Next step: Activating a card. Are you as excited as I am? 😉 Do you wish for the first weapon? 😃 #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

0203

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 28/06/2025

At first glance, you might argue there are just slight changes. A new ship, and it's missing its textures – a bug in the background. But hear me out. The loading routine needed to be changed to be more flexible and… #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

1153

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 20/06/2025

After a little break, we could fix some minor bugs and make a little, big step in the right direction. Energy-Gems in different colors. In the end, they can be used to activate cards for 'some actions' (You know, guns and lasers and so on 😄) #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

0213

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 08/06/2025

After a short break and getting right with the Steam-kerfuffle – we have a connection (seen in the menu) and the first steps with the GUI. Next… Steam Lobby, Chat and Spawn in the world over RPC #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 05/06/2025

And one of the gods said: Let there be light! – Oh yeah, and rounds 😉 #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 02/06/2025

As promised, I worked a little on the pirate game, taking yesterday's starting point one step further. So I persuaded the particles to do their job as reflections on the river and not mimic snowflakes, added reflections and some wavy noise. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

082

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 01/06/2025

Actually, I didn't want to code this day… perhaps I've got this ADHD moment, where I only wanted to have a quick lock for a water-shader. And now the water thinks it's snow. One time… only one time with professionals… #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot #FunnyBug

0164

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 31/05/2025

So… today we're back on the racing game… pirates will follow on Monday 😄 There are many changes in the background. I've implemented a Game/State Manager to handle the server/client connections and make it a real racing game. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #indiedev #Godot

092

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 29/05/2025

SO… played around with a few other tile-sets and established a build/room manager. The next step is a little pop-up dialog to make a 'new room' selection… #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #newgame #indiedev #Godot

0124

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 28/05/2025

Time keeps on slipping – implementing a state- and a tick/time manager for some further plans, and well, some polishing for some elements. Lots to do, but not the worst start. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #newgame #indiedev #Godot

093

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 27/05/2025

Everyone can create a single game… two simultaneous are for pros… there for the insane… After my solo game, another with a good friend – now I've started one with my intern. #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #newgame #indiedev #Godot

You only need to trust, there will always be another chunk of the racing track – until it ain't ^^ #ChunkLoading #Godot #Bug #Funny #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #newgame #indiedev

0215

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

Next Step… changed collision to repulsor-techik and loaded more chunks. Also changed the track generation to a kind of canyon. Quite some progress today 😀 #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #newgame #indiedev #Godot

0164

Amlor from DullDayDudes @amlor.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

So… mal zur Übung die einzelnen Szenarien verbunden… und die Strecke mal einen Schritt in Richtung Canyon umgewandelt… noch ein weiter Weg, aber Brotjob raubt auch einfach immer wieder Zeit 😉 #IndieGameDev #IndieGame #gamedevelopment #gamedev #newgame #indiedev #Godot

Wenn es sich bewegt, braucht es auch etwas, auf das es sich bewegen kann, was… die ersten Versuche einer dynamischen Grid-Map in #Godot #IndieGameDev #Indiegames #Indiegame

Am Wochenende endlich mal wieder Zeit gehabt mit einem guten Freund in Godot rein zu gucken… sicher, noch nichts aufregendes, aber mal gucken, wohin es uns führen wird… #IndieGameDev #indiegames #indiegame
