A small update to Bombs vs Bots is now available on Steam to give some customisation options for the AOE indicators. It hopefully helps anyone who needs more contrast - or for anyone who just really wants some different colours :) store.steampowered.com/news/app/412... #gaming

It's been 3 years, but we're nearly there! Play testing has been going well and [hopefully] there will be a release within the next month. The only thing left to do right now (other than more testing) is get the Steam page updated with fresh screenshots and an updated trailer 🥳 #indiegames

We may be using bombs to blow up evil robots and taking chunks of the environment out in the process, but we are responsible and put cones out to make sure no one trips and hurts themselves on the heavy materials that are lying around 🙏 #gamedev #indiegame #godot

That was my thinking too - in the stages, the lights and global illumination will brighten things up a lot more 🙂

Thank you! You're not wrong - for some reason (still not sure why), it looks more saturated when viewing it stand alone like this. Placed in levels though it looks notably more transparent, so looks a lot more fitting in game play 🙂

This may be a blog post essentially just praising Kenney, but it's deserved 😅 The quality of the assets they put out freely available for people to use to learn, prototype with or to use directly in commercial products is unmatched (IMO). Their value to the dev community isn't quantifiable 💚

Maybe of interest to new game devs who are struggling because things feel like they don't look like the final product should do early on. I battled with this a lot early on, and kept starting over; it can be demotivating, but as you can see here, everything starts off looking a bit weird #gamedev

I haven't used Rider, but I suspect it will! The JetBrains IDEs have always been good for refactoring tools :) The debugging integration isn't too bad, I feel like debugging is better with the internal editor, but my workflow makes heavy use of several tabs so VScode works better for me overall 🙏

Five Nine Games @fiveninegames.io · 12/02/2025
Yes! I'm not 100% sure if there is the ability to find all references in the built-in editor, but in VScode there is. It has a lot of very useful tools for refactoring code and tracking things down :) If you want to try it out this plugin is a must: marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemNa...

I didn’t, will keep this in mind in the future! For this game there won’t be this many enemies on screen at one time (or probably even in an entire level), I just like testing in chaotic ways
