Did you know that you don't need to prompt for some sounds ? I have a couple of "organic" sound pack here, just for you. First, one about glass bottle impacts ! #sfx #noai #cc0 casual-garage-coder.itch.io/glass-bottle...

Finally took the decision to do a "demake" of my prototype to really focus on gameplay. But still need some placeholder. No problem ! Let's check #blender3D documentation about animation , and here we are.

It doesn't mean a lot, but I'm almost back with consistent gamedev schedule. Finding balance between draining 9-to-5, family and #indiegamedev is not easy. After a rough couple of months, I'm back with more "black magic" things in my backlog (did I mention GPU-backed #textile simulation ?).

Small DIY mocap system or Blender animation crash course ?

Fixed the "thumbs" issue. In fact, Kenney's asset source lacked some bones, and more specifically finger tips. So, i've picked a skeleton from an asset that works, and replace it, and #Godot rebound it automagically. Et voilà ! #gamedev

Errr ... I think I did something wrong with bones remapping ... #gamedev #blender #GodotEngine Please, send help ! :)

Managed to cut down @kenney.nl (all glory to you) asset into pieces to make a proof of concept of modular character in #GodotEngine. One skeleton, one animation player/tree, several interchangeable body parts. #indiegamedev

Casual Garage Coder @casualgaragecoder.com · 16/09/2026

Back to work with some small #GodotEngine challenge (not a real one tho) : Modular characters. Hot swapable meshes with the same skeleton. Every part as to be in sync (which is FUN when using an animation tree). I'm trying several approaches, but aiming to ONE animation tree/payer and ONE skeleton.

I know, I know ... Locking tuners ? Really ??! They are useless right ?! ... But they look so good ! (Oh, and I've fixed the nut already, and both have fixed bridge ...). Split post tuners maybe ? Sure, sure ... Don't care. I wanted those ones. Tried them in my AR250. Now on my ESP. #guitargear

Almost done with the spritesheet for my daughter's (directed) game main protagonist. I've switched from teacher to slave without noticing it. My daughter is a pure evil manager v1.0 . "So, are we done yet ?" ... #indiegamedev #familydev

L’heure est très grave ‼️ Le Conseil constitutionnel vient de valider la réintroduction dérogatoire de l'acétamipride et du flupyradifurone. Une décision alarmante, alors même que les risques pour l'eau, les sols, la biodiversité et la santé humaine sont reconnus.

Got a working prototype for my daughter's game. Time to replace placeholder with homemade #pixelart. Slow creative process, but highly satisfying #indiegamedev #familydev

Added rebound jumps : when done right after landing, propels you further/faster if running, else higher. Added wall jump too. #gamedev #indiegamedev #GodotEngine

First couple of hours teaching my daughter how to #gamedev. For now, I'm showing her how to start. Then, she'll probably implement simple bits here and there, trying to modify scripts and/or scenes to add gameplay features. #GodotEngine

Back with a little side project. My daughter wants to learn how to #gamedev. So I'm showing her the whole process, from minimal GDD to placeholders preparation and finally prototyping. And now, between Kenney's All-In-One assets package and #GodotEngine game templates, things are easier.

Those past two weeks were erratic, to say the least. Heatwaves and 9-to-5 relentlessly drained me to the point that it threatened my health . I hope to get back on track "for teal" starting today.

Coded another mini-game. The last one was about logic/reasoning. This one is more about memory/address. (And yes, you've certainly seen that kind of mini-game, but where ?). #indiegamedev #minigame

Refactoring a big prototype script by splitting it into tight-scoped components is as satisfying as untangling headphones cables. It's definitely ASMR for coders. #gamedev

Casual Garage Coder @casualgaragecoder.com · 02/07/2026

Still working on prototype. Things are going faster. I'm playing quickly to some games to gather insights about UI/UX. And I'm not disappointed. I've learned more than I've played ! #indiegamedev

Casual Garage Coder @casualgaragecoder.com · 22/06/2026

Trying to make a #Godot plugin out of my graph editor "framework." The biggest task is documentation (godot plugin system is hopefully rather simple). I'm considering reorganizing source files (scenes and scripts) into directories containing their dedicaded documentation (in markdown). #gamedev

I've shifted my gamedev activity from coding obscure algorithms to specifying and micro-planning my next activities. The idea is to turn on my BIG computer, code&test for 10mn, and turn off before the temperature on my flat goes too high ... #indiegamedev #climatechange

Sketching over screenshot. It helps to design UI somehow. Will it be the final design ? Let's try out with another sketch. #krita #gamedesign #uiux #indiegamedev

Back at the lil buddy and its inventory system. Simple item disposal with inventory rearrangement. But this is only the beginning : item composition and decomposition are next in line. In short : basic crafting. And this will trigger a mini-game (sounds familiar ? ;) ). #indiegamedev #GodotEngine

Just received my very first tip on ko-fi. I didn't expect it would affect me that much. I'm very grateful (and proud). On the same topic, I still have almost 100 bucks stuck on Steam cause of taxes ... #kofi

I've been asked to make a standalone webgame out of this. So, expect it to be released, web-based, on itch.io. I've planned difficulty levels and some game modes. Should i add a leaderboard ? #indiegame #GodotEngine

Casual Garage Coder @casualgaragecoder.com · 07/06/2026

Made a simple prototype of a "Annoying Game-Loop-Breaking Mini-Game". Of course, I've set it to some nightmarish difficulty. The goal of this minigame is to align all the green sections. Before launch, one can choose the number of rings, the min/max number of influences and max shift. #indiegamedev

While working on the player controls, i came across my input event mapper. One could think I've reinvented the wheel as Godot already has input control management system, but mine comes with a twist I'd be happy to explain if interested. #GodotEngine #indiegamedev thegodotbarn.com/contribution...

Day 9 of part-time prototyping. This time, a real inventory with a selector (even if it does nothing for now). Btw, everything is placeholder here, courtesy of @kenney.nl for the models (go get the all-in-one package !) and game-icons.net for the icons (go contribute !). #indiegamedev #GodotEngine

Instant loot (for now) and oversimple inventory. The inventory is meant to be as simple as that with a little twist. The loot will have a dedicated animation and even some more complex interaction. The radial menu seems to be shaking 'cause it's tied to the character head. #indiegamedev #GodotEngine

Highlighting nearest interactable object (but without using a stencil buffer for some reason, and without using any CollisionShape3D). #GodotEngine #indiegamedev

I'm torn between using raymarching (expensive) or some tricks to bring my shader to life through polys rasterization (less computation, more thinking). In those days of resource scarcity in terms of CPU/GPU computation power/memory, that's a question that needs to be addressed. #indiegamdev

Casual Garage Coder @casualgaragecoder.com · 24/05/2026

Preparing the next big phase of the water mesh procedural generation about rapids and waterfall. However, I'm hesitating between creating a mesh OR painting a supersampled texture that will be used by a dedicated shader. This could address a lot of issues plus offering a nice per-pixel rendering.

Nightmarish situation : parallel streams, merges and splits next to each others, with small ponds here and there ... The mesh generation algorithm is not ready yet, but i sense difficulties right there ... #procgen #water #heightmap #indiegamedev

After Pierre Bézier, it's time to use another french scientist's algorithm, this time from Paul de Casteljau.

Casual Garage Coder @casualgaragecoder.com · 17/05/2026

Experimented a continuous path-finding to resolve streams curve generation. It works. Unfortunately, it is really too slow for some tricky cases, and I think there's some smokes and mirrors I could use to hack my way to a simpler solution. #procgen #GodotEngine #indiegame
