Been awhile! Have some un-textured weapons. Playing around with a 2D muzzle flash asset pack, I think I can make these look real good with some extra work. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #gaming #blender #ue5 #unrealengine

At the risk of getting swarmed by bots, is there anyone interested in making break-core music for an FPS game I'm working on? Pls share examples of your work. Gen AI will be shot on sight. #gamedev

My gaming hot take is that wall running is kinda boring. It's the speed boost and air control from jumping off a wall that makes it fun. If your game has wall running but doesn't let me chain speed boosts or have good air control, it just feels sluggish.

Using AI to generate placeholder images for your games is cringe. Just do what I do and use a picture of your dog with some text on it. You're going to replace it anyway, and if you forget, nobody gets mad because they found a cute dog picture. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame

More than 1 week later, I now have a very nice feeling node map generator for my roguelike game! Also the lines wiggle now lol #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #ue5 #unrealengine5

FrostHound @frosthound.bsky.social · 12/12/2025

I can now divide the map into 1/5ths, which means I have greater control over the RNG difficulty curve. For example, I know nodes marked as "3" are in the middle of the map, so I can make them have a higher spawn rate for mini bosses. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #unrealengine5 #ue5 #roguelike

FrostHound @frosthound.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

Attempt #3 at a roguelike node map, now I can draw dotted lines between nodes as well as track where the player is at AND can go in real time! #gamedev #Indiegamedev #indiegame #unrealengine #unrealengine5 #ue5 #roguelike #rng

FrostHound @frosthound.bsky.social · 07/12/2025

A continuation of yesterdays roguelike node map attempt. On top of generation improvements, I can also now determine where you're at on the map (Blue) and where you're allowed to go (Green)! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev #unrealengine #ue5 #roguelike #gamersky

Chalking today's attempt at making a procedural roguelike node map to a failure. At least the end result looks cool when you ask it to generate a new map every half second lol I have a new idea on how to tackle this, will update when I figure it out. #gamedev #indiegamedev #unrealengine #ue5

It's time to drop the concept for this lil' prototype. Roguelike dice builder to the tune of Slay The Spire/Peglin with physics based dice rolls. More info under this post if you're interested in my ramblings. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #gaming #gamesky #unrealengine #gamersky #roguelike

Gamers I need suggestions. If you played a physics-based dice rolling game, would you prefer an orthographic or perspective view? Ignore that the dice are currently hard to read for both lol #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #gaming #unrealengine5 #ue5 #gamersky

Made a system that detects what your physics based dice rolled. I don't want to fake the roll through a random number generator. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #unrealengine #ue5 #unrealengine5
