A panel from The Reckoning, a comic set inside a game universe I'm building. More of this story is coming. #GameDev #IndieGameDev #Storytelling #ComicArt Note: AI tools are used here to help communicate the narrative more clearly and efficiently. The story and vision are our own.

It looks like a tycoon game. It plays like survival. You're a beggar with nothing, building a business where every decision costs you. Run it well, it grows. Run it carelessly, it falls apart. First system in progress. More soon. #GameDev #IndieDev

Connecting everything feels fast at first. Until one small change affects multiple parts. Lately I’ve been keeping systems more separated. Slower early on, but much easier to manage later. How do you approach this? #gamedev #indiedev

Keeping things step by step so the systems stay clean and scalable.

Big step for Chips Tycoon. Moved from a single test scene to Lender → Market Core systems now persist (economy, inventory, storage). Still using cubes, focusing on systems first. Next Customers place orders, player cooks and serves. #gamedev #indiedev #unity

Working on a tycoon game in Unity. What looked simple at first turned into a deeper challenge around storage, capacity, and validation. Now moving towards gameplay. #ScreenshotSaturday #gamedev

A simple “buy ingredients and cook fries” idea became a system design challenge. Storage, capacity, validation, separation. Small mistakes can break everything. Still early, but the foundation is coming together. How do you approach system design? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegamedev

AI tools are powerful. They help us learn faster, solve problems, and explore ideas. But there’s a risk. The danger isn’t AI replacing humans but humans stopping thinking. Use AI to learn, not to outsource your thinking. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #CriticalThinking #Technology

Dev update: Chips Tycoon Containerbased storage added: gas cylinders, oil barrels, and ingredient containers now set storage limits. As game is built from scratch, it requires refactoring to keep the architecture clean. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #tycoongame #simulationgame #devlog #indiegame

The other side of #GhostbusterTrap, as far as this device is concerned, it is just a #learningmaya practice and does not have a real utility, except showing it off in a video. Hats off to #LucasRidley for such an amazing #tutorial #indie #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev

Codesty Games @codestygames.bsky.social · 15/01/2025

#GameDevelopment is stuck because of underpowered laptop, not exactly getting time on home pc and a difficult routine. #LearningMaya is however on speed. #LucasRidley is a great resource for that. #indie #indiegames #indiegamedev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #3dart

because of these 2 very hard jumps in a very small amount of time, i could not really follow along, if you could please guide, thanks

Codesty Games @codestygames.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

Also، you used some kind of cloud texture, i could not find it anywhere, did you make it yourself, how can i make that or get that

Codesty Games @codestygames.bsky.social · 03/01/2025

you applied something on the circular bokeh texture that changed its density, and I did not understand what you did there, can you please elaborate.
