NPC nade throwing seems to work alright and I can now easily adjust how often he throws them when he thinks the player is standing to still. Some more edge cases to consider here, but real happy to see this in action finally! #GameDev #Godot #SoloDev #IndieDev

Working on that grenade throwing logic for my enemy NPC's again today. The logic of how and when I trigger it needs a little extra work so that not every NPC instantly starts throwing nades whenever the player seems stationary from it's perspective. Maybe an NPC manager for coordination? #GameDev

Man, Control Resonant is stealing my free time these days... Kind of makes me want to try making a 3rd person hack'n slash some day. Great game! #Remedy #Gaming #ControlResonant

Spending some time today trying to get the enemies in my games to use animation and correct state machine logic for that grenade toss that I've been working on. Definitely the most demanding part of my finite state machine so far 😐 #GameDev

I've built my NPC as a finite state machine so far, but spent a little time today learning about behavior trees. Might be worth trying for a future project... Seems there's also some plugins for Godot that let you set up these things more easily. Next time baby! www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeSh...

Grenade throw test. Enemy grenade throw now uses a custom implementation of a parabolic projectile trajectory. Ashamed to say I needed a little AI assistance for the physics equation derivations, but at least it works... 😅 #Gamedev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

I want my enemy NPC's to throw grenades, but I need to make thrown grenades fly along predictable trajectories so that the enemies can throw at specific target positions and check if the trajectory contains obstacles. This is gonna be a pain, but at least it's educational 🤔 #Gamedev #Godot

Gosh Nabbit! 😅 Realizing I've tied my hitbox and health system a little to closely to the PhyscisBone3D class in Godot. Gonna have to dedicate some time for iteration, but it's an expected part of the game dev process I suppose. #GameDev #Godot

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 08/09/2026

Attempting a little clean-up in my state-machine logic. My way of doing reaction time for NPC state transitions was incredibly messy so trying to just handle it with a function in the state class itself instead of the spaghetti code I was starting to dive into 🤪 #GameDev #Godot #GameAI

071

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 07/09/2026

Trying to work on getting enemies to react to guns being fired close by so they get alerted if the player starts shooting while their backs are turned. State machine for the enemies is quickly getting really messy though so might have to take time for some clean up soon.... 😅 #GameDev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Every day I have to remind myself that my first game SHOULD NOT be my dream game, but I keep getting carried away 😅 I went overboard with the fidelity of the models I used for my reload animations. Getting a whole game to that level would take years and I want to move a little faster. #GameDev

Took some effort, but managed to get some directional damage indicators working today. #GameDev #Godot #SoloDev #IndieDev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Another combat test. Managed to get NPC's to respect a short reaction time and got their ragdolls to work a little better although they still get messed with when other characters step on them. Should be a simple collision layer issue. #Godot #Gamedev #Solodev #IndieDev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Made a little camera knock/shake effect for when player takes hits. #Godot #GameDev #Solodev #IndieDev

First time doing a combat encounter for my game! Big milestone! Some jank to fix and lots to do to improve enemy behaviors, but seeing it all come together is so rewarding! #GameDev #Godot #IndieDev #Solodev #FPS

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

Starting to get to the point where I need to build some environments for my shooter game, so I'm familiarizing myself with 'greyboxing' for prototyping levels. Also worked a little on the player UI so that the amount of grenades held by the player is displayed and updated properly. #GameDev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Spending some more time on explosion damage and physics logic today. Trying to use a curve for damage, stagger force and physics force falloff over distance from explosions. #GameDev #Godot #SoloDev #IndieDev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 24/08/2026

Polished up some logic on my grenade throw which should help it's behavior stay consistent as I create more game entities that can be knocked around or take damage. Also added a little placeholder grenade throw animation. #GameDev #Godot #Solodev

Got a couple of animations working for a heavy marksman rifle. #GameDev #Blender #Animation #FPS

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

Some placeholder visual feedback on shooting. Already makes the game feel a lot better. #Gamedev #Godot #Solodev #FPS

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Found a pretty decent model that I'm going to use as a heavy precision burst rifle. Model by LuddlePudde, but modified it a little by giving it some larger optics and a longer barrel. #GameDev #Blender #Godot #Solodev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

More dynamic motion on the enemy along with some more weapon and projectile functionality. I think pretty soon I'll try and import those weapon animations I've been doing. #GameDev #Godot #SoloDev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 26/07/2026

Finally getting back to this. Currently doing some bullet magnetism to keep in line with my Halo inspirations. Had to include some target lead so that the magnetism doesn't make the player miss moving targets... I'm pretty sure my code isn't optimal, but it works. #GameDev #Godot #SoloDev #Indie

Beer and guns yay. Sitting around doing some shotgun reloading animations for my FPS game project #Animation #Gamedev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Did a shotgun equipping animation today. Not sure I'm as happy with as I am the others I've done so far so I might return to this one and polish it up. Also edited the gun model to look a little beefier. Gun model by Nebula075. #Gamedev #Animation #Blender3D

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 18/12/2025

Hmm, working on some shotgun animations, but not sure this is the right shotgun model for the job. Looks a little to small compared to the SMG from earlier, and I'd like this one to look a lot more chunky. #GameDev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 17/12/2025

All my FPS weapon animations so far. Rifle is next. Arm model by Mr. PurplePidgeon SMG model by Praneeth Ganoji Pistol model by Vlasov Daniil #GameDev #Solodev #Animation #Blender3D

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 14/12/2025

Back at the weapon animations. Pistol reload is next. I know that saving art assets for later is good practice, but main goal of my project is to have fun making it, so here I am 😂 #GameDev #Solodev #Animation

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

Found a little time to do another weapon animation. Planning to have a little animation play whenever the player equips another weapon, much like in Halo. Gun - and arm models by Praneeth Ganoji and Mr. PurplePidgeon respectively #GameDev #Solodev #Animation #Blender #Godot

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

I think I have a useable reload animation. Pretty pleased with it for one night's work. #GameDev #Solodev #Blender

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

Been putting off my game deving so I'm to diving back in by doing something fun. First time doing a reload animation and I think it's turning out real well. I did the animation but the gun and hands were modelled by Praneeth Ganoji and Mr. PurplePidgewon respectively #GameDev #Blender

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 03/07/2025

I've gotten to the point in developing my shooter game template where I need to start making gameplay and design decisions. This is mostly a project I'm doing to learn the engine and brush up on coding so I'm not aiming for a masterpiece, but a prototype to build from would be cool! #GameDev

Killing some time in Blender, trying to get a mood-piece or 2 done for my first-person shooter game. Always liked the imposing and monolithic vibes of brutalist architecture and should also be a style that helps keep geometry simple for the game. #GameDev #Blender3D

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 27/06/2025

My enemy character now goes into attack-mode when he spots the player and chases after them when they loose sight. Need to work out some other states and behaviours to keep this interesting, but can almost call this a game now! #GameDev #GameAI #Godot #Solodev #Indiedev

ChaosLemon @chaoslemongames.bsky.social · 25/06/2025

Working some more on my enemy state machine and I've gotten an attack state to trigger where the enemy fires bullets at the player. Need to work out some raycasts to find out when the player escapes their view and what to do next, but it's something! #GameDev #Godot #GameAI

Finally got his ragdoll to behave a little more! Seems the issue was a combination of rogue vertex groups and constraints needing to get baked in Blender before exporting to Godot. #GameDev #Godot #SoloDev #IndieDev

DAKKA DAKKA Spending the day trying to bake this guy's animations and IK constraints since I believe they are the reason his hands and feet fall off when he ragdolls in Godot. #GameDev #Blender3D #Solodev #Godot

Working on an armed NPC placeholder character for my little first-person shooter project. Gonna need quite a few animations for him but I'll keep them simple for now since he's just a placeholder. #GameDev #Blender #Godot #indiedev #animation #solodev

One thing I love about game dev is the variety. Didn't feel like coding today, so I'm working on a new version of my NPC placeholder. This time with gun 🤘 #gamedev
