Not sure.. just hope it magically handles it without looking too bad 😅

Working on a new creature: It's currently re-using the movement logic of the previous "fly", so it's very stupid. It uses a single ray cast to find and validate foot holds. This just the first test but I'm already liking it. #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #gamedev

Phobos Down is a minimalist twin stick shooter where every run is different.

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

A little bit of waving animation in the vegetation makes it look way more alive. #screenshotsaturday #godotengine #gamedev #procgen

Trying to figure out how to place vegetation and other decorative objects on generated polygonal terrain. The blue and green markers are potential places found using a bunch of ray casts. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #procgen #godotengine

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 04/08/2026

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

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 01/08/2026

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

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

One remaining problem is not being able to "release" mouse aiming. Releasing the controller stick stops aiming but I don't know how to do that with mouse aiming (which I haven't even started to implement yet). #gamedev

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

Nothing beats proper twin-stick aiming, so I guess I'll have to go down that road again. Not being able to dig, jump or toggle the light while aiming feels almost like a feature. #gamedev #twinstickshooter

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

The obvious solution would be to use the right stick/mouse to aim the throws but I'm trying to avoid that. Also, if the right stick aims, it's not possible to reach the four face buttons at the same time.

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 30/07/2026

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!

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

So far I haven't really needed varying physics materials. I have mostly used the same material for almost everything, except maybe disabling/lowering friction in same apecial cases with character controllers.

FRACTiLE games @fractilegames.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

Nice. I feel like I have been underusing physics materials.

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

Possibly. The problem with less than fully black colors is the contrast between the terrain and the tunnel. At certain distance from the lights, there is always a spot where the tunnel walls become nearly invisible.

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
