WIP pics of the Grand Library level for MINDPALACE. Very pleased with how it's turned out so far!! I'm glad I stepped back to practice art in Blender for a bit, I'm feeling a lot more confident working on assets now. Next up is finishing the first batch of enemies :3 #indiegamedev #gamedev #godot

A window overlooking a tall room with massive bookcase walls.

Looking down into a tall room with bookshelf walls from a stair case.

Another tall library room. This one has three large standing bookcases in the middle of the room. There are ladders present in the room.

A very narrow view into the standing bookshelf room, from a dark tunnel.

Kobold Breakout With this last piece, I'm finally done practicing the skills I wanted to for my game. Pretty proud of how it turned out as well. Excited to start working on my game again after experimenting with these static scenes! :3 #blender #b3d #3dart #art #kobold

A 3D render of low-poly kobolds staging a breakout in a dungeon. Two guards have been knocked out already and the others have just become alerted. While the kobolds below are forcing a cell open, the camera's point-of-view rests in a cave entrance above, just behind two more kobolds readying magic and a crossbow to cover them from the dark.

Made a model of my d&d rabbit, very satisfied with how this turned out! Going to do his robes sometime soon, finish up a large scene piece, and then finally get back to working on MINDPALACE. Excited to bring my new skills to my game! :3 #b3d #art #blender #gamedev

A gray, anthropomorphic rabbit sitting on boxes, cradling his purple right arm, which is made of a very dense, cold, magical material.

In trying to make wood textures, I had the fun idea of making a giant wooden master texture, and grabbing rectangles from it to make planks. Worked out.. kinda cool actually? #Blender #Art #Gamedev

Another environment piece, really satisfied with the composition here! This time I touched up on texturing - I'm mostly satisfied with how I did there as well. Think I'll do 1-2 more and then return to my game : ) Merrow model by @comradeyuronk.bsky.social !!!! Check their work out now!!! #Blender

Making some 3D environment pieces to learn some skills for my MINDPALACE project! This was just a random industrial piece until my friend said it reminded them of mirror's edge... So I colored it accordingly :P Ft. a fking awesome Merrow model @comradeyuronk.bsky.social made as part of a study!!!

Skyscrapers with orange highlights, a tower in the background, and striking red pipes running along the buildings. There is a character sitting on one of the pipes.

im back on beat. Here's a look at where I'm at with another enemy I'm making for MINDPALACE! The 'Landmind' will burrow in the ground and lie in wait to ambush an unprepared player. Pretty satisfied with most of the animation here! : 3 #indiegamedev #gamedev

Top-down view showing off my spawning director! It fetches all the rooms nearby the player in order to spawn enemies within a reasonable distance. Still needs a little tweaking, but I've also got the system creating and maintaining waves based on enemy budgets. Excited! : ) #indiegamedev #gamedev

Not my normal gamedev wheelhouse, but a bit ago I was tryin' 2 work some things out with my lil' fishgirl character. Pretty satisfied with the direction it's going in, but I still have a lot to learn with art in order to do this stuff a lot quicker. : 3 #oc #merfolk

Just finished setting up a piece that will feed into many enemies' decision making for MINDPALACE! Area3D's mark out rooms & tunnels. Once a path is generated, we can see how many rooms/tunnels will be crossed. This will help ambushers set up in spaces a player might escape to. #godot #indiegamedev

i love making crappy little sketches in MS Paint to help myself get more of a grasp on things So much, lol. This time i explored what im planning for my enemy sandbox in MINDPALACE and it actually helped me find some holes to plug in the roles that i need them to play. #gamedev #indiegamedev

Got the pathing done for my bird-snipers this weekend, and it's good enough that I won't be touching it for a long time!! My method lets me just use the entire map mesh directly as their navmesh, which makes things So much easier. I'll detail my solution in a thread here : ) #indiegamedev #gamedev

Been busy on MINDPALACE since my last update : ] Added a bird-sniper-enemy, researched Godot's navigation solutions, and put a LOT of thought into the methodology of map design for this game. The birds are simple right now, but I love how the shooting animation turned out! #GameDev #IndieGameDev

Couldn't find a good solution to sorting collision boxes down into manageable subgroups in Godot, which arose from needing to link some collision boxes to an imported skeleton animation. Here's what I came up with to solve both of those issues! Hopefully this can help someone somewhere : ) #Godot

Fully finished the first draft of the kit for The Falconer in MINDPALACE, very satisfied with how it's turned out!! It probably won't change much mechanically as development contines : ) Next up is The Surgeon and some more map development #gamedev #indiegamedev

starting to have something resembling actual gameplay :o i think the last big thing i needa figure out is actual enemy pathing, beyond that it's mostly just going to be a long haul of making content : 3 #gamedev #indiegamedev

just added landmine explosive jumps! i realized afterwards that i don't think i've ever seen a game do this actually? at least, i can't remember any games that have done this, closest thing i can think of is tf2 sticky jumping #gamedev #indiegamedev
