Well. This is a first for me. Using the "Rebelle 8 Pro" art software, it's oil painting (simulation) mode and some patience, I've painted this. Can you see who it is? Anyone that knows me, knows I'm a sucker for these shows old and new. Beam me up... #digitalart #sttos #CaptainKirk #noai #art

A digital oil painting portrait of Captain Kirk on the bridge of the enterprise. Painted by Andrew Gisby with absolutely no creative input from AI!

"Seven Seconds from Home" - Finished! I started this digital watercolour and pencil artwork soon after the launch of Artemis 2. It's taken the duration of the mission plus several days to finish painting it using Fresco and my ancient Kamvas graphics tablet. #artemis2 #nasa #digitalartwork #art

"Seven Seconds from Home" - Finished! I started this digital watercolor and pencil artwork soon after the launch of Artemis 2 (something to do whilst waiting for the mission to progress 😄). It's taken the duration of the mission plus several days to finish painting it using Fresco and my somewhat ancient Kamvas graphics tablet. Whilst I was working on the exhaust plume, I read that the Kennedy Space centre is a nature reserve! So, I thought I put in some worms eye view spectators found there.
Final piece roughly 50cm high
Not everyone's taste, but I tried hard with this to match lightning and colouration from various photo references of the rocket launch. Pretty pleased with the outcome. All by me, no AI slop. #Artemis #NASA #art #digitalart

A Jules Verne and Alphonse Mucha Art Nouveau poster inspired artwork that has given me an amazing amount of relaxation and pleasure drawing (No AI was used to create this imagery). Fine art printing is done and I'm really looking forward to seeing it framed and on the wall. I will post the result! 🥲

Alphonse Mucha inspired art nouveau stylised poster of scene from the Jules Verne 20,000 leagues under the seas novel. Depicting the leviathan squid approaching the Nautilus. The poster is tall and thin with naturalistic patterns, and sea floral and fauna cascading around the borders with a blueprint style elevated view of the Nautilus submarine at the bottom.

"A life on the ocean wave..." 🎵 Been a while but I've been down a rat hole of generalising controls, wheel and levers against physics forces and floating objects. However, I'm emerging from the conundrum and sailing the high dungeon seas! #godotengine #gamedev #indiegamedev youtu.be/Y2KsrPuJJCY

Good to get some downtime from #gamedev or whatever occupies the day 🙄🌞🙂

🎶What shall we do with a drunken sailor...🎶 Yay, the buoyancy physics approach works for the big stuff as well as the little stuff! It's totally unfinished but this ship is pretty big on the aft section (just not visualised). #godot4 #madewithgodot #indiegamedev #indiedev

Duckocide @duckocide.games · 13/04/2025

Yeah boy, that's totally buoyant! Watched a video, learnt some new tricks with synchronisation of GPU and physics on CPU, and oh boy... I've got things floating on the noisy water. So excited about getting larger sailable vessels going now. Whoop! #godot4 #madewithgodot #indiegamedev #godotengine

🎶 You spin me right round baby right round... 🎶 Refining the movable whirlpool feature. Once again, pretty pleased with this evenings #indiegamedev efforts. I think #godotengine is starting to sink in and made this pretty comfortably (mostly shader work tbh). #godot4

Duckocide @duckocide.games · 30/03/2025

Why the water? Well there are some vast rooms in these dungeons that will be navigable by vessels of various forms the exhibit both safety and danger (...aka "boss" type entities). (Started making these over a year ago! 😀) #godotengine #indiegamedev #indiedev #dungeon

Duckocide @duckocide.games · 30/03/2025

And in the game... I need to procrastinate and endlessly tweak this water (the edges need to be a bit more foamy for me), but I'm pretty happy with these murky wet death traps. #godotengine #indiegamedev #indiedev #dungeon

Duckocide @duckocide.games · 30/03/2025

A rare attempt by myself at a half decent dungeon water shader. Uses vertex deformation for waves (really!? 😜), a whirlpool and up to 16 ripple sources (for things floating). Chatgpt prompt as a starter, but refactored over 80% of the shader code (good learning though). #godotengine #indiegamedev

It's been a while since I've posted some progress on this #godotengine game. But I'm feeling pretty stoked right now with it! Procedurally generated, this underground dungeon area quite literally 'Rocks'! #gamedev #indiegamedev #godot4 #madewithgodot

Duckocide @duckocide.games · 11/03/2025

That #indiegamedev feeling when you have just spent 2 weeks on perf related refactoring. Honing your "work of art" code to strip out, multi-task and process the bare essentials of what is needed. You run it and see it RUNNING SLOWER! Your 60fps "mostly" masterpiece now barely hitting 30 fps! 😡😟😭

Genuinely happy with my lot but only getting one day a week on average to #indiegamedev does get frustrating. I do so look forward to Sunday. But, #gamedev progress can only be described as Glacial 🤔😊

We all know opening a Tomb is generally a recipe for a bad experience - Just ask Rene Belloq 😉 Oh what, didn't he see the light and got vaporized? ... Tomb opening animation and shaders therein. Need to add some sound effects and try it in the game! #Gamedev #indiegamdev #madewithgodot

It's alive.. alive..! This monster dropped in to the game relatively painlessly. A wonderfully predictable skeleton warrior(!). The foot soldiers of a dungeon. I want to implement some tactical traits, may be some flanking behaviours. #indiegamedev #godotengine #gamedev #dungeon #arpg

081

Duckocide @duckocide.games · 10/01/2025

Just starting porting this wee fleshless warrior from my old unity project in to my bright shiny #godotengine project. Will definitely repaint sometime but right now I want a few more monster types wandering around! #indiegamedev #gamedev

A 3D model of a Skeleton Warrior in a T-Pose position. PBR textured and freshly imported in to the godot editor. The skeleton is outlined in red but looks, dirty and weathered with glowing eyes and a rusty old sword.

Try not to lose your head! So I'm parking #gamedev of this element of the game for a bit. I can feel myself starting to procrastinate with it so time for a change and come back later. #indiegamedev #godotengine #godot-4

Still working on that giant musical Orrery puzzle. Happy with it so far. All configurable and solvable without musical knowhow - Like all adventures you just got be observant really 🙉🙈 #godotengibe #indiegamedev #indiedev #rpg

0101

Duckocide @duckocide.games · 03/12/2024

Yes, I'm going to do it. I've been mulling around few thoughts on musical puzzle locks. I reckon I can make a gameplay that does not need a knowledge of music and relies on achieving an audio or visual "harmony" to solve. Of course you might find an illustrated book to really understand how😜

A c# defined enumerator called NoteName that contains a list on notes normally defined in a single octave.

Duckocide @duckocide.games · 29/11/2024

Now then... That's a bit cranky? Like all #roguelite #roguelike, you'll be forever searching for the right gear 😉 in this game!? #indiegamedev #arpg #gamedev #adventure #videogame

Duckocide @duckocide.games · 18/11/2024

Yay. Another visual "control" hooked in to the UI. Analogue Levers. I'm trying to make this #RPG an intuitive arcade experience. I've spent a lot of effort managing next best input to object controller priorities but it will (I hope) make for a great UXP! #godotengine #indiegamedev #videogames

Still a bit of a mess, but some good progress today. Steadily visualising a procgen'ed cosmic "Bodies and Orbits" object model adding collider's et al. I'm looking forward to working on some varied dirty metal looking Triplanar shaders for the different parts. #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine.

Hmmm... Not quite... May be mechanical solar systems are more complicated than I thought. That said, I do enjoy turning my C# class data structures into to visualisations. "To the apogee and beyond...." 🌚 #godotengine

Ah the pleasure of a little treasure (🎵!?) - Collectable coinage. Some new learning for me using Area3D monitoring, GPU Particles and Height collision fields. Any character (player or NPC) can collect/accumulate the loot 🤔🙂 #GodotEngine #indiegamedev #rpg

It's a while since I've posted. Been working on some GodotEngine UI controls for player inventory. Other than icons, the playing card graphics are rendered and stored via the (confusing) "subview" component (I think I prefer unity3d RenderTexture's). Any hoo... #indiegamedev
