John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 19/09/2026I reckon you could get 3 bucks of enjoyment out of it. 010
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Gotta be close to launching now? Games looking great! 110
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 20/08/2026It’d be interesting to see this stat in Australia. Over here new releases are always $20ish dollars cheaper physical. 000
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Chaos sculpts look so good though. I’m fighting the urge to build my first chaos anything ha 110

John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 20/03/2026Would you have any images of moulds to share or one to point me to? Were they ever ornamental or pretty non descript? Thanks! 000
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Did they have moulds to get the basic shape for these kinds of things and then finish it off by hand or were they all built by hand from the start? 111
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 · 05/01/2026I've got those settings off and any others I thought could be messing with it. I've tried different meshes but still get the same thing. I'm using point/spot lights but wanting to use these as fill lights to add a bit more jazz and colour to scenes. 000
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 · 14/10/2025Come and have a chat if you are in the area. Also doing a fair bit of nuthin till then if anyone is keen for a coffee. 010
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Our biggest wishlist spikes were when we launched and when the game was featured. And you'll hit the front page with those numbers. So I'd expect the same for you. 110
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Those numbers are good, you should hit 40k by launch easy. Everything you've responded makes sense. Are there other story heavy trailers you've seen that go viral? Specifically for a new IP? But I guess if the main goal was for existing fans, then it probably achieved its goal. 210
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 24/09/2025People that have already bought in to the game and not geared towards hooking in new people (which might have been the plan?) How are your wishlists looking? Is it continuing to grow? Getting front page on launch is really the goal. 110
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 24/09/2025A couple of other things. There's no hashtag usage on here or YouTube. Make use of them if you can. I wonder if not being in English is a limiting factor too? I wonder if there is a similar indie that did two languages to compare stats to? The trailer is good but it feels like its made for 120
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 24/09/2025Where did you post it to? I didn't see it pop up here, but I'm not the most active. I think the unfortunate thing is that it takes about 26 seconds to get to gameplay and most people on the internet aren't going to give you that much time to hook them. 220
Reposted by JohnPatrick Grant @patgrant.bsky.social · 13/09/2025Recently been working on some screen and particle effects! Does anyone recognise that swoosh sound? #indiegames #VFX #screenshotsaturday 2156
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 10/09/2025yeah, I'm looking to see if there is a way to make this happen by default again. Not a huge issue, but a tedious one ha. 100
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
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 12/06/2025If you've got nothing on, come on down to the QLD games fest! Keen to hear all the feedback! 020

Prev work: Bears in Space - Directed, level design, 3D art The Forgotten City - Lead Art, Level Design Hand of Fate 2 - Prop/Environment Art Worked with UQ on VR projects. DM if you have an opening! Thanks! #gamedev 03314
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 07/06/2025I've played a couple of hours now, I think it's pretty fun. Scratches the halo itch. Not a fan of the monetisation but what can ya do about it? 010
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 06/06/2025This is what we've been hammering away on. Appreciate some shares if you have them spare! 010
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 · 20/05/2025GOG is good for keeping track of what you own. You can link up your accounts and it'll show you what and where a game you own is. 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 · 17/05/2025Anyone else getting a bunch of engine/gpu crashes in UE5 after the latest Nvidia driver? #gamedev #unrealengine 021
John @bucketofnuggets.bsky.social · 14/05/2025WIP of a new environment I've been building up for Chunk. Still lots to build and refine but always keen on feedback. #indiedev #3d #gamedev 094
