so I guess Kotaku runs some kinda scraper and I guess it has access to the Steam "library" assets that I thought only my 13 playtesters would ever see 😭 #indiedev #gamedev

that's amazing, I bult a very similar shore speaker setup for a project once. didnt think to connect it to the shoreline itself though, just had a big spline around the island. It works great!

I had an idea to make these eyeball enemies bounce and spin around like billiard balls, its soooo much more satisfying :D

throwback to Bun, a 3d platformer I worked on from 2020-2022 I never got far enough to release anything, but it showed me that I can make a good looking game and build an audience around it! #indiegamedev #gamedev

I rewrote in Godot editor and it works fine. why are u doing this vscode

000

edit @edits.games · 22/11/2024

VSCode with the #Godot Tools extension is being super annoying. I swear theres no spaces used for indentation, and yet, squiggly red line❗ has anybody else had this issue?

Used space character for indentation instead of tab as used before in the file.

I take it back. could a #blender noob follow the first geometry nodes tutorial on Blender Studio? I didnt think so 😎

this version had a weather system too, because i cant help myself and rain is just 2 cozy

in the final iteration of this project, I got obsessed with making floofy grass without visible seams. the hut was made for the wind-waker style project so it looks kinda out-of-place here 🤷 #gamedev #3dart #gameart

another angle of the ship. someday I'll make a game in a clean toon style again at the time it was a product of being a blender noob. but now, 6 years later... I'm still a blender noob XD #gamedev #3dart #gameart #blender

this project had a weather system as well. square patches of rain texture wasn't great but it looked alright with aggressive depth of field XD #gamedev #3dart #gameart

I rly made a dynamic cloud system and day/night cycle before a real game loop... wandering around is my preferred learning style but it sure sucks for finishing games XD #gamedev #gameart

this was a fun effect to make! I think it was my first time ever using a tweening library to move items into the cauldron and get the stirrer thing spinning #gamedev #3dart #gameart

the first indie game project i took somewhat seriously, also from 2018. I learned so much! #gamedev #3dart #gameart

In 2018 I was brand new to #gamedev and spent way too much time on the visuals of this prototype 😅 I learned a bunch about game art though!
