I've added this yellow line, so the player knows where the exit portal is. But I'm not sure if it's a bit clunky. Maybe there are other games that achieve this better. Any thoughts? #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Physics on all of the tiles in a TileMapLayer has been killing the performance. So, I've added a system that only 'activates' the physics on the outer tiles as you destroy them. Now I the headroom for more physics! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Godot continues to impress. The new embedded game window has been clutch when debugging my chunk manager. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

#gamedev​​​s, beware of the scope creep!
Man with a face pressed up against a window staring in with a twisted look, saying "Yes... Ha ha ha... YES!". On his shirt it says "Scope Creep". He¨s looking into "New features being added to the game despite tight deadlines".

Chromatic aberration + exponents = (fun?) eye strain. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

The environmental voronoi pattern now fades between patterns overtime. I'm pretty happy with it. Thanks to everyone who gave me feedback! #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

I like this voronoi pattern for the environment but I'm not sure if the constant changing is distracting. Any thoughts? #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

Shaders are still a dark art to me but I made a smoky background, so some might call me an expert. #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #godot

I made a tiny UI element that shows a simple message and disappears after x number of simple actions. It took 4 hours of wrestling with a Godot UI layout. We'll have that game made any day now. #indiegames #gamedev #godot
A new pop up UI element that disappears after the player fires 10 times.
