Alright, let's show the new tranq crossbow mechanics. A bolt to the head IS LETHAL. But a body shot will drain their psyche and KO over time (accelerated here for the video). So yes, tranq enemies, but plan for the extra time and attention. #GameDev #DeepSix #GodotEngine

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 13/09/2026

Fun new weapon additions i hope to include in the coming demo. Prototype Big Joe and Little Joe crossbows. Both with tranquilizer laced darts, they're a silent and non-lethal addition to the arsenal. #DeepSix #GameDev #GodotEngine

I've been so busy working with voice actors it's slipped my mid to share progress. I'm fleshing out radio conversation UI, and plugging in all the great voicework, and it's coming along great. #GodotEngine #DeepSix #GameDev

More changes. Time of day options include: AM, PM, and NIGHT. Weather options include: CALM, RAIN, and SNOW. Giving a 9 level varieties. Each combo affects enemy vision differently. Snow variations have me missing Shadow Moses... #GodotEngine #GameDev #DeepSix

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 25/08/2026

A bunch of UI work today. The plan is, story missions have a locked time of day, and weather. But Extra ops are more sandboxed, allowing custom changes before deployment. #DeepSix #GodotEngine #GameDev

Searchlights blocking your path and you don't have weapon? Look for the main breaker, and cut the power to them all at once. #GodotEngine #DeepSix #GameDev

Blocking out level cinemas, writing musicwith voice actors. This game is slowly coming together. #GameDev #GodotEngine #DeepSix

Another sidelined feature got added back in today. The sonar-doppler won't detect enemies at first, it only pings the local relay station location. Once you active the local relay, then your ping can highlight enemy positions on screen. #GodotEngine #GameDev #DeepSix

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Not part of my real game at all, but decided on whim to see how fast i could spin up a plane shooter controller. The answer, 30 minutes, (but all sorts of gun systems were already in place... so that's cheating a little) #GameDev #GodotEngine

Modeled a Sopwith Snipe Biplane this evening, i need it for some upcoming cinemas. And you can pull off its mounted Lewis Gun as shown here :) #DeepSix #GodotEngine #GameDev

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 10/08/2026

Added back in a feature i dropped for a while. Folding your your gun out of the way of objects, and adjusting for gun lengths. If your rifle is too long to aim around the corner, swap to something with a shorter barrel and try again. #GameDev #GodotEngine #DeepSix

I've been so busy making cinemas, music, and writing script that I have completely overlooked sharing development progress. Here screenshots from radio conversations, but i'm saving sharing cinemas til later. :) #GameDev #DeepSix

Luring guard with cigarettes, this time with the juice. I think folks didn't realize the last video was a prototype/first draft, and that i'd be fleshing out animations and vfx later. So here is the mechanic as it stands currently. First make it exist. Then make it better. #GodotEngine #gamedev

1112

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 10/07/2026

If you want to distract a guard, you have to use the right lure. Toss a pack of cigarettes into their view, and that'll keep them distracted for a while. This "new" feature i intended to add ages ago. #Godot #DeepSix #GameDev

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 09/07/2026

Haha, fun to share the concept art which comes in all shapes, sizes, and talent levels. I promise I can draw better than this, but honestly nothing beats an LCD doodle pad for casual concept iterating. #gamedev #godotengine

"The Hudson River... two years ago..." Blocking out a new bridged gorge area across the island. All my new prototyping/level editing tools are making quick work of creating new areas. #Godot #GameDev

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Initial docks level blocked out now to a playable state. Terrain systems, road systems, building systems, grass and scattering systems all in place. We're in pretty good shape now, and things should start rolling out pretty fast. #GodotEngine #DeepSix #GameDev

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

New simple feature. You can honk the horns of vehicles to lure enemies to that location. Just one more distraction method at your disposal to sneak through areas. #GodotEngine #GameDev

My son's nightlight bulb shattered, but a 3D print from the @kenney.nl toy car pack works for a solid replacement 🙂

Been working so much on terrain shader and map-making tools lately. I'm happy to report performance just jumped about 65% with nearly no difference to look and i can finally start dressing the world with plants, etc #GodotEngine #GameDev #DeepSix

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Added back in a feature i enjoyed, but had dropped for a while. Grenades stored on enemy belts can be shot, triggering their detonation. Just one more way to take enemies down, or create a distraction. #DeepSix #GodotEngine #GameDev

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 25/06/2026

New weapons and animation system, and new reload animations. This is testing out removing almost entirely IK overrides and sticking to a simpler animation driven system. It should help me add more weapons and in general make this game a little faster. #GodotEngine #DeepSix

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 22/06/2026

3D printed a new tech screwdriver case since my old one has been destroyed over the years. This one is my own design to hold 96 bits... Which ended up being overkill but at least I have the space now should I need them. #3DPrinting

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 14/06/2026

A few game dev thoughts. I think I like ReflectionProbes better than baked lighting, I think animated foliage is overrated, and i think I shouldn't get spotted if i'm not moving, in a lowered my stance, and far enough away. #GodotEngine #DeepSix

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

After all that terrain tooling, we finally have a properly textured island to work with. Still very naked, with a LOT of blockout and placeholders. But it's nice to finally see the map taking shape #GodotEngine #GameDev

0101

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 09/06/2026

Wrote a Godot shader and Blender geometry nodes to create RGB&Black vertex colors splats based on slope and noise. Godot assigns the materials so that walls/cliffs blend from rock to gravel, and level aresa blend between sand and dirt organically #GameDev #GodotEngine #Blender

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 06/06/2026

Testing the out the new villian model by assigning their meshes to the player controller. I have to say, it's fun to play as Victor... maybe for the sequel i'll let players design their own stealth agents... #GodotEngine #GameDev

Every MetalGear-like needs some themed boss fights. I'm currently working on the model for one of them now. I've got some fun ideas for this guy. #GameDev #DeepSix

Sharing a variety of fun features in Deep Six: + Lids of boom barrels can be used as (low quality) shields + Injured enemies will limp, + Helmets offer protection + Looting for supplies, and hiding bodies. #GodotEngine #GameDev

Starting to feel solid about the general layout in the base. Time to start filling the individual areas, add props, baddies, proper terrain, etc. #GodotEngine #GameDev

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 19/05/2026

Reworked by rain and wetness system. The rain wills top indoors versus outdoors. Interiors are dry, while exteriors can get wet, and the player will wet and dry after swimming. They're not perfect, but we strive for 'good enough' #GodotEngine #GameDev

Been overhauling my enemy pathfinding logic this week. This may not look like much (because i still haven't given the enemies full 8 directional movement animations), but it's a big maths success. Enemies can now get out of each other's way, by backing up and sidestepping #GodotEngine #GameDev

1132

Cat @feles-machina.bsky.social · 01/05/2026

I've been redoing some melee logic today for Deep Six, and brought back in the saber after a long time without it. Feels like a pretty successful test and pretty satisfying to use. #GodotEngine #GameDev

Cleaning up some old photos and forgot about this drunk painting night, where I added Big Boss and Rex to a lush garden painting. Good times #MetalGear

Added baked lighting for DeepSix and learned #GodotEngine doesn't bake for MultiMesh instances. That's a problem because every crate, container, cement barrier, etc is a MultiMesh and so is ignored during baking. Luckily a PR is nearly ready for it: github.com/godotengine/... #GameDev problems

New feature just added. If you blow up a boom barrel, you can find a the lid to use as a shield. :)

The blockout process is fun, finding multiple ways to traverse a map, making sure there are lots of ways to avoid or interact with the guards. #GodotEngine #GameDev
