the snowball payload freezes things, buff it with anti gravity and they also float! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #retrofps

2. Then the table, and to me at a glance it looks like a regular poker table which doesn't spark a lot of interest sadly, later in the trailer though you show a much more visually interesting variant of that table so maybe open with that variant instead?

Hmmm, imo the opening isn't very catching 1. Opening shot, the dealer doesn't stand out at all so it just looks like an empty foggy environment at first, and like someone else said, opening with the coin flip could be cool or maybe a montage of the other cool environments you show later could work

playing around with systemic interactions, the flamethrower payload is buffed by the anti-grav payload that was shot before it so the fire also lifts whatever it hits, neat #gamedev #indiegame #retrofps #gamedesign #indiedev

hahah true, i kinda ended up liking the vibe, so keeping parts of it for sure. but the arenas weren't made for this level of lighting so probably adding more lights on critical paths at least

more biome testing and some (dark, lighting WIP) arena combat, kinda had some unintentional horror vibes for a while there #gamedev #indiegame #retrofps #indiedev

Thanks! it's not quite visible in this footage but there are 3 more dots around the crosshair, each dot representing a barrel on the gun, the light being the active barrel the panel shows essentially the same thing but also showing the barrel type names a lot of the UI still a bit WIPy though 😅

doing some art tests for a new biome, interiors are a bit too dark atm, but the concept is there?? #gamedev #retrofps #indiegame #indiedev

increasing the knockback on enemies was a good idea ⬆ #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #retrofps

working on an inventory thing, you can store all your barrels and turn your multi-barreled shotgun into a single-barreled shotgun (wow!) #gamedev #indiegame

added signs to the shops that ominously rotate towards the player, for clarity, of course #gamedev #indiegame

some payloads fire in a sustained mode and we had the obvious idea of adding a "beer barrel" to our shotgun(haha) - as a payload also doubles as a jetpack! #gamedev #indiegame #retrofps

the sidearm does a funky animation when loading it with new payloads #gamedev #indiegame #retrofps

before/after did some lighting adjustments to our levels for our steam release turns out just cranking up your ambient lighting isn't a good way to light your levels #gamedev #indiegame #leveldesign

we just released our demo for CHAIN SHOTGUN for Steam Next Fest a game about adding an absurd amount of barrels to your shotgun, among other things check it out! store.steampowered.com/app/3970990/... #retrofps #indiegame #gamedev #FPS #indiedev

working on a movement shooter with some immersive sim elements where your only weapon is the Chain Shotgun, a chaingun shotgun essentially? but it can hold up to an infinite amount of barrels which can shoot just about any type of projectile www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjHN... steam page coming soon!!

beam weapon revamped my shooting code to allow for beam-like payloads so now I can do things like this, still not sure what it should do outside of combat though 🤔 (also did some sound design 🔊) #gamedev #indiedev #gamefeel #retrofps #indiegame #boomershooter
0104
Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 12/07/2025
also I've made the payloads pretty modular, so some tweaks to the spread pattern and wow, we have a bridge tool thing? something like this feels like it could be a game on it's own tbh

Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 11/07/2025
I will never forget the immense disappointment I felt when I noticed I couldn't jump on the harpoons from HL2 anyway, this is the harpoon payload, it sticks to walls and you can jump on it! I generally try to make payloads do more than just "kill enemy better" #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #games
1102
Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 11/07/2025
the interact payload can do fascinating things! such as pressing a button or booping enemies #gamedev #indiegame #retrofps #gaming
0154
Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 11/07/2025
the cutter payload can cut through things like fences, and now enemies as well #gamedev #retrofps #games #indiedev #gaming #gamefeel

Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 09/07/2025
just released chapter 1 of Chain Shotgun on Itch a movement shootery FPS where you can add a whole bunch of barrels that do a bunch of wild stuff to your Chain Shotgun bigcitywizard.itch.io/chain-shotgun #gamedev #indiedev #retrofps #gaming #games

Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 09/07/2025
decided to have each barrel type come with their own attachments and now the weapon looks absolutely ridiculous, in a good way! this is just at 11 barrels, current max is around 20 barrels, so far #indiegame #retrofps #gaming #indiedev #gamedev

Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 31/05/2025
i am of the opinion that all games should have jump pads #retrofps #indiegame #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 31/05/2025
thanks! the inspiration is sort of early 2000s creature design mixed with some biopunk aesthetics

Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 31/05/2025
finally got around to doing some sound design for the basic enemies in the game, now it feels even more like bullying:( #indiegame #gaming #sounddesign #retrofps

big spinny thing, also doubles as an "elevator" that literally shoots you out of it #gamedev #indiegame #retrofps #gaming #indiedev

Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 17/05/2025
made a wall tool to speed up level design, of course I had to add some gamefeely elements to it as well #gamedev #indiedev #screenshotsaturday #leveldesign

Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 14/05/2025
tried to make my leaves to rustle a bit when moving through them, yeah wow looks very "natural" imo #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #games

Agnar Thor | dreymari @dreymari.bsky.social · 12/05/2025
of course it didn't take long to add it as a potential ammotype as well

feature from a while back - you dash into boxes to launch them at whatever you're aiming at, still very happy with the feel of it #gamedev #gaming #retrofps #indiegame
