An earth-like world with rings. I've recently added a simple cloud layer and made it work with the ring shadows and atmosphere. #GameDev #ScreenshotSaturday

Made a new 3D model for the warp core this week. I took inspiration from common sci-fi tropes and added my own spin to it :) #screenshotsaturday #indiedev

A Venus-inspired planet I added to my game. The upper layers of its atmosphere scatter all colours, creating the white outer shell, whereas the lower layers absorb blue light, causing this yellow-ish environment. #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev

A before/after of the build menu in my game. It's nice to see how far along the game has come this year! #ScreenshotSaturday #GameDev

Made this beautiful "spaceship" using the new rotor parts in my game. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

I've been working with an awesome composer lately to create ambiance for my game. Here's a sample of what you'll hear as you dive into planetary rings for the first time. Sound: ON 🎵 #gamedev

Added a new rotor part to my spaceship-building game. This lets you build ships with rotating thrusters for vertical takeoffs! #gamedev

Currently animating the fuel traversing the pipes in my space game. It kinda looks like forbidden mountain dew. #gamedev

Made it so we can see other players' hand movements while operating a ship. #gamedev

Added this gyroscope part to my spaceship-building game. You can plug it into a pilot's seat for greater control, or you can set up wiring to automatically align your ship. #gamedev

Curious Owl @curiousowldev.bsky.social · 04/08/2025

Made this self-stabilizing platform in my indie space game. It's using new parts such as a velocity sensor, along with math nodes to calculate the proper thrust to keep the ship perfectly still. #gamedev

Testing out a better way to connect cables in my space indie game. #gamedev

More progress on the player character. His suit has little thrusters for space navigation. This keeps it compact while also freeing the player's hands. #indiedev

It's #screenshotsaturday 🙂 I've been working on this player model for my space game. Here he is testing the mining laser. #indiegames #indiedev

It's #screenshotsaturday! This week I made it so that crashing into a forest will destroy trees

It's #screenshotsaturday :) This week I tweaked the forest generation further to produce these small clearings with resources to be found 👀 #indiegames #gamedev

Curious Owl @curiousowldev.bsky.social · 01/03/2025

Did some work on the forests this week: there are now more tree varieties and the forests are now visible from space (though the transitions are still pretty harsh). Here's what it looks like :) #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev

Made this little guy a while ago just for fun. He's looking a little sus for some reason. #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev

Playing around with the atmosphere shader again. I love the light shaft caused by the planet's shadow. #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev

Recently added a new lever model to my starship-building game. I also made it so you can mount it on walls and ceilings for cool cockpit designs. #screenshotsaturday #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

It's #screenshotsaturday gang :) This week I made a new 3D model for the signal cables in my space game. They're used to active ship parts like the thrusters 🚀 #indiegames #gamedev #indiedev

Here’s a new thruster 3D model I made for my indie space game. I’ve been diving into Blender and Substance Painter tutorials lately to improve my 3D art, and I’m really happy with how this turned out :) #ScreenshotSaturday #IndieGameDev #3Dart

Happy #screenshotsaturday :) Here's the starting planet in my space indie game. It has rotating rings filled with orbiting asteroids. #space #indiegame #gamedev

I've upgraded the moon generation this week to support WAY more craters: 500 vs 200000 #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

I made some improvements to the forests in my game this week. Here's what the new trees look like at night with some wind animation! #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday

Hello Bluesky! I just joined so here's some footage of the forest I've been working on. It's procedurally generated and uses @amplifycreations.bsky.social 's impostors to render all these trees. #IndieGameDev
