John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 24/01/2026Sharing some WIP footage of Chunk for #screenshotsatuday I finally wrapped up the block out for our VS, now on to smashing out a bunch of art! Everything is still in a WIP state but always keen on any feedback anyone has. #gamedev #leveldesign 071
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 05/01/2026Any #unrealengine lighting wizards around? I'm using a hidden emissive mesh to do a bit of lighting but I get these artifacts, they kind of look like DFAO but aren't. Any tips? I imagine I've missed an easy step. 160
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 19/12/2025Anyone have a handy ref sheet of brushes in Nomad Sculpt and their Zbrush equivalent? #nomadsculpt #zbrush #3d #gamedev 052
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Any #unrealengine wizards know if there are shortcuts for these tools? Being able to extrude by holding down shift and dragging like in Maya would be great. Is there a way to insert edge based on a grid size? Any other tips to speed things up and not have to keep clicking buttons? #gamedev #UE5 151
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 08/11/2025Does anyone know if Zbrush 2022 runs on the new Surface with Snapdragon? I ain't paying a yearly fee to upgrade Zbrush. #gamedev #zbrush #3dart 052

John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 10/09/2025After upgrading to 5.6 in UE5, meshes created in engine no longer have collision turned on by default (Complex). Anyone know if there is a checkbox or something I need to hit to get it to turn collision on on creation? Not a big issue, just odd it added an extra step. #unrealengine #UE5 #gamedev 2133
Reposted by JohnGarth Edwards @gmangarth.bsky.social · 06/09/2025Been trying to add some more interesting combo attacks to CHUNK, man is it hard to make something that doesn't completely suck. Anyone have any tips for coming up with cool attack ideas? I often find myself trying and throwing away the same ideas over and over. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indie 3327
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 30/07/2025Alright, Maya indie hitting $550 a year has made me try out Blender again. Anyone have good recommendations for Maya to Blender tutes, any plug ins to make the UV editor not suck etc. #gamedev #3d 294
Reposted by JohnSLUMPS // A Pocket Full of Slagford @slumps.net · 21/07/2025What's a point & click game without cursors for pointing and clicking? Figured these should be pre-rendered sprites to fit with the crunchy 90s aesthetic - what do you think? #indiegame #b3d #retro 0144
Reposted by JohnSLUMPS // A Pocket Full of Slagford @slumps.net · 15/06/2025Last year I painted this piece of key art even though at that point the game was mostly just some ideas in a document. It's cool to get those ideas into something presentable you can show to people early. #gamedev #conceptart #adventuregames 1114

Reposted by JohnSLUMPS // A Pocket Full of Slagford @slumps.net · 24/05/2025Introducing the main character of our game! He's just a little fella who is excited to go out into the big world on his own for the first time and I'm sure nothing will go wrong and traumatise his small developing brain. #indiegame #gamedev #b3d 2236

John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 24/05/2025@closecallsports.bsky.social Any chance of a break down of the out at home in the bottom of the 10th for the Pirates Brewers game? Looked like the run was called off the path, but have seen similar plays be called safe in the past. 000
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 23/05/2025Anyone having issues rendering out objects in Sequencer in UE5.5? Transforms seem broken for me. I'll key in locations and the objects won't move in the render, they move correctly in the preview. Tried SK and SM and both act the same. #unrealengine #gamedev 041
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 20/05/2025Really good thread of lots of cool indie games. Really highlights how brutal the market is. Making a good or great game isn't enough to succeed. 000
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 18/05/2025Asterix on Netflix is a real treat. It has some really nice use of colour and some really creative art direction. Recommended it to everyone. 010

John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 29/04/2025Monster Boy is on special on Xbox at the moment. It's a really great game that more people need to play. Solid metroidvania, really great art, great soundtrack. Just a damn fine game. 000
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Anyone know if the new Oblivion is using tessellation for these high quality environment assets or are they baking down tessellation in Maya and importing to use with nanite? Anyone have any workflow hints? #ue5 #unreal #oblivion 000
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 16/04/2025Bears in Space is 50% off on steam, I call it the "Everyone we knew at the publisher no longer works there sale so I didn't know this was happening" sales event. 091

John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 13/04/2025I've been playing South of Midnight. Really digging the world and art. The combat seems like an afterthought, though. I wonder if it was something they had to jam in later on in development? The spiked plants that hurt you with zero indication is a bit horseshit. More people should check it out 000

John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 05/04/2025Not the most exciting to look at but the most fun for me to make! Been able to build out much more verticality and platforming and all the good stuff I couldn't with Bears In Space. 043
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 02/04/2025Not the most exciting Switch 2 reveal. Nothing really to be excited about If you own any other console or PC. The Webcam focus I assume was interesting for someone? It's great to see Windwaker on the Switch Two, but it's a shame it's not the Wii U version. It's the best version of the game. 000
