Been doing lots of location and environment work - as well as getting the Steam page ready! #godot #godotengine #indiedev

Sorry I've been quiet guys but erm yeah

Been a tad quiet lately - I've had my head down on my extraction fps! The extraction loop with missions, inventory system with attachments is working (1000s of weapon combos), new ray-based audio (atmospheric af). It's getting more fun to play now too 😆 #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev #godot

The new inventory is a bit more extraction shooter friendly now too.

Implemented a weather + day/night system, improved locations (lots of shiny new assets!) plus some other internal stuff/better UI/inventory. #godot #godotengine #gamedev

Been working on a few things for my open-world extraction shooter lately: - Environments are feeling a lot richer now - More natural looking locomotion - New decals and particles - Got core gameloop in and am putting together the first chapter of the story #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

I do love this - but whyyy 👇

Been working on a storm today - big part of my game! Hoping to tap into that primal megalophobia feeling. How's it looking? #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Been refining locomotion and AI behaviour - took a few snaps from the session. Also testing a new build of OpenWorldDatabase that simplifies the editing workflow while keeping everything intact (multiple LoD thresholds, easy networking, minimal setup). #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Just a little PSA - don't make the same mistake I did! Most of the people who contacted me turned out to be scammers and the couple who I did pay were clearly using AI. You live and you learn I guess. I'll only take referrals with fleshed out portfolios going forward.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

*sigh* fired up my accountant's website only to see a huge AI slop image on their homepage..

Exploring the procedural world to decide where to place things - found a nice view! #godot #godotengine #gamedev #indiedev

Was looking for the scrollbar.. 😆

Latest round of additions to the procgen addon and it's starting to feel ready. Here's me testing it out in my game project. Planning to release the addon very soon (tm) for everyone to use in their own Godot projects. #godot #godotengine #gamedev #procgen #indiedev

Calling all Windows gamers! Got a build that needs testing - particularly need AMD card users to help verify cross-GPU behavior. (But honestly, anyone who wants to try it out is appreciated!) DM me if you can help! 🚀

This Godot addon I'm (still) working on to manage procedural terrain and placement logic in the editor is going great

I think about this image every few days.

Ultimately I will be releasing the addon for free but if you would like to see the development process and help me test it please join us here discord.gg/dPYxs3gXWQ

This also allows for the world to be "infinite" and creates some really nice variations - all of these screenshots (plus the ones above) are all from the same world.

Heavily inspired by Unreal's PCG system we can also use volumes and zones to set paths and fill areas to allow for manual control of placers and biomes. What's more I'm using a clipmap and streaming biome data so we're able to preview this all in realtime in the editor too

Luke Aaron 🎄 @devanew.com · 01/02/2026

The addon allows you to set layers by stacking noise and then defining biomes and placer rules based on those noise values. It uses scene tree order as priority and inherits thresholds, so it's really easy to extend with new biomes and objects

Been building a GPU-accelerated procedural world addon for Godot. Tonight I've tried it out with a tactical/extraction shooter I've also been working on and it's all coming together really well - had to share! #gamedev #godot #godotengine #indiedev

Can you guess what the new Godot addon I've been working on does? 🤔

0110

Luke Aaron 🎄 @devanew.com · 16/01/2026

More a proof of concept but works great so far. Also has project management, auto-save, build console & theming. Stack: SvelteKit, Bulma CSS, CodeMirror 6, mGBA-wasm, Docker + devkitPro, SQLite Builds are sandboxed - isolated containers, no network, memory-limited, all capabilities dropped.

Fascinated by GBA development but always struggle a bit with the setup (makefile you say??) so had a stab at making a browser-based IDE for it 🎮 Write C and Assembly in the browser One-click compile (devkitPro via Docker) Play instantly in embedded mGBA Export .gba ROMs

No new pictures - where are you mentally?

Luke Aaron 🎄 @devanew.com · 10/01/2026

Working on another little Godot addon for procgen ( but with extra steps 😉)

Luke Aaron 🎄 @devanew.com · 10/12/2025

Reported this. I really hope Steam enforces the most basic level of decency one day, but platforms only seem to act when big youtubers make noise. Your game deserves better than this garbage. Keep doing what you're doing!

This idiot is 4 subs away from 500 on YouTube 😶 This feels like a milestone.. Should I do something? What do I do?? www.youtube.com/@luke_devanew

I've been working on my OWDB addon for godot, specifically adding multiplayer support. That's right, multiplayer open worlds with very little setup! Even supports nodes with zero configuration, they just need to managed by OWDB. Join the discord to follow development discord.gg/dPYxs3gXWQ

I've been working on a demo for a godot addon I've also been also working on. Possibly having too much fun in the process.

I made a little classless css library for semantic html if you want to make a basic site look good without messing with css digitallytailored.github.io/Classless.css/

Did some work to make the ground a bit more detailed. Quite happy with it! The grass meshes could be improved, maybe just made smaller/more detailed, but was mainly focusing on the local terrain structure. I need to get back to item destruction/dropping! #godot #gamedev #indiedev

A screenshot from a 3D video game showing a lush green meadow with tall grass and scattered yellow wildflowers. Coniferous trees dot the landscape, and a majestic blue mountain rises in the background against a bright blue sky with white clouds. The interface shows "SERVER - 1 (DEBUG)" in the top-left corner, coordinates in the top-right, and a row of inventory slots at the bottom of the screen. A small animal, possibly a deer, can be seen in the meadow. The scene has a vibrant, open-world nature setting with rolling hills.
