Testing eyes on the flying creatures. They were supposed to look weird and scary but they are just.. goofy. I guess I'll have to scrap this idea. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Safety first: I gave the little dude a helmet. And somehow accidentally turned the walking creatures into rectangles 🤷‍♂️ #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

Here are the tentacles mounted on a basic flying creature. They now also retract when touching the ground, which I think is a nice detail. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine

Made some improvements to explosive plants. The pulsing animation after getting triggered by light is done in shader, basically: sin(pow(phase, 2.5) * 5.0 * PI) * phase #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine

It was way harder than I expected but finally the game handles different aspect ratios and camera transform properly. Also added some more particles. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine

Small but important fix: When walking against wall too steep to climb the player no longer bounces back and forth and can now jump from that position. The ground detection got more complicated than I would like but it seems to work, so it will have to do for now. #gamedev

Now you can throw flares to distract enemies. I also gave up on the minimal controls and implemented aiming by the right stick instead, added some sounds and fixed the ugly stuttering in limb animations. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine #twinstickshooter

I have a control scheme problem that I need to solve: Currently left stick/arrow keys move and aim + four buttons for actions. For digging direction, this works well, but not for throwable items. Currently it is very hard to throw things downwards without walking off cliffs. #gamedev

It is ridiculous how many restaurants have their menu and opening hours available _only_ on Instagram (or Facebook) as a _video_ that you have to pause to be able to read. It's hard to imagine a more idiotic way to present public textual information 🤬 Sorry for ranting about this again but FFS!

You say you want physical releases? Well here we go! I've been itching to show this! Sektori is getting a physical release with a lot of really cool extras. PS5 & Switch 2 through Lost in Cult. Pre-orderable now, estimated shipping in Q1 2027. Couldn't be happier with the package we've put together!

I suddenly remembered an old DOS puzzle game I made in 1995 and I had to dig it up. It's not bad. Gotta love the system requirements: Fast 286 and about 60KB of memory and disk space. #gamedev #dosgame #retrogame

I got the plant placement sorted out.. by cheating: Instead of finding a suitable location I just make a hole in the terrain if there isn't one. The alignment uses two extra ray casts to avoid edges and too small surfaces. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine

I've been trying to position plants (those green things) on terrain surfaces. It's more complicated than I thought because during level generation, I don't yet have the actual collision geometry available, so I can't use ray/shape queries. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 27/06/2026

Totally black terrain would convey the underground darkness better. Added benefit is that I don't need to use shadows to prevent lights from "bleeding" into terrain. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

I switched from Spotify to Tidal about a year ago and I would really like to stay on it but it's so infuriating how they still can't separate artists with the same name. I continuously get notification on new releases by wrong artist with same name as the one I want to follow. #tidal #streaming

I've got barely anything new for #ScreenshotSaturday so here's just a temporary menu I just added. I'm going to try and fit all options in one menu again as its the kind of simplicity I like in games like this. This is going to have a few levels and at least two game modes: frenzy and turn-based.

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

The guy has grown arms! The walking animation also works much better on slopes. The crouch walking uphill is not a fault in the leg animation, it's because the character body gets too close to the ground. I have to fix that somehow.. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #procedural #animation #godotengine

I opened this Godot project again and changed from the built-in character controller to custom physics-based control, like I always do. Still stuck trying to get the walking animation work well enough in all edge cases. There are so many of them. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #godotengine

My task manager Godot plug-in now works as a stand-alone app too. This was a fun little side project but I don't think I'm developing this further. I could dump the source code somewhere if there is interest in it? #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #gamedev #opensource

I'm on a side quest: I started making a minimal task management plugin for Godot. It reads/writes my todo.txt file that I have been manually using for years. Instead of cut+paste, I can now drag and drop task items. #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #gamedev

The Quake 1 axe sound is just the Metal Hit sound from Korg M1, and the signature grenade bounce is in fact the same sound nearly 2 octaves lower.

Although the legs already worked quite well, I started testing a simpler alternative solution based on calculated optimal stride length. I'm hoping to build a generic leg node that I can slap on anything. Should be a fun challenge 😅 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

I think the legs work well enough for now, so I started testing what I can do with Godot's built-in 2D lighting. Shadows seem to be working fine. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

I made a tiny bit of progress with the procedural legs. They now find the footholds further forward than they can reach, so that the leg is at optimal position by the time it actually touches ground. Looks much more natural. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev
