iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Hell, I'd be happy already if I could just override a virtual member. I don't even need all of it 🫠

That is your regular reminder that I have a furious anger growing inside of me, everytime I discover something perfectly hackable but then it's sealed. We should come to the agreement that sealing classes is of the devil and must be forbidden

Why people you seal all their classes? I want to hack into them! Come on now

Yeah. I think this would have to be animated. I don't think I can pull off some magical IK solving fast enough

001

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 25/09/2026

I would like to add to that, that I am not a particularly good animator. That can only be great 😬

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 25/09/2026

I'm wiggly wobbling. No idea if and what and if so when and where. But when and if, I either need to write some spider legs IK solver or try and make a rather complete set of animations to cover whatever it is, that I wanna do here 😂🫠

Here's a fresh look at Liha, friends. I'm making all kinds of progress. Six-DOF shooting with maximum carnage. Enjoy. Hey, if you like this, source me a WL on Steam! bit.ly/4rAKXyo #gamedev #indiegames

Thinking about it, I came to realise that, during my "better missions" milestone, I decided to make even better better missions. I had the initial plan sorted out already but then iterated one more time. Game design ain't easy 🫠

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 13/09/2026

It was being flung but one of the kill effects was wrong and disabled the colliders. There you go. It's flinging now \o/

000

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 13/09/2026

I have to wonder. Why is the flingable unit not being flung? Despite the trace showing evidence to the contrary? Very ominous

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 13/09/2026

And a rabbit hole it was. Did find a couple latent bugs in my behaviour tree while I was in there, too 🫠 I see light at the end tho, so that's good xD

000

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 13/09/2026

Had I known that "better missions" implicated overhauling the entire AI system in Liha ... I had done it anyway. But I wasn't prepared lol And that concludes my word for the sunday

My commit log for the entire day - tells the story lol Time to head to bed. And count some minions 🫠

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 11/09/2026

And what I ACTUALLY wanted to do was to compose a special elite boss behaviour and then it derailed ... massively lol

000

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 11/09/2026

Finished a 4 hour debugging sessions, trying to find all the things that I broke while refactoring my ai. I am massively frustrated. But also feeling accomplished because as far as I can tell right now, everything is fixed. Felt for a second there, I needed to give up. Dang

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 10/09/2026

Visual behaviour trees are cool and that. But have you tried building them in code? Unironically. Do try it. It's really good

000

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 10/09/2026

Ugh, the bane of my PC existence. It seems inevitable no matter what you do

I found great use from Starter Packs so I thought I'd put my own together! It's basically a bunch of people who post their #gamedev progress for whatever they are working on. I find it incredibly inspirational! I tried to not have any a/i in it so let me know if there is. go.bsky.app/4mLnBDY

Hey can I get in? That'd be amazing :D

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 04/09/2026

It's kinda what I have. Granted. They use a navigation graph because they are hopelessly lost without it, in the inside setting for Liha xD I kinda want something more immersive tho. Already got some squad logic going. But be cool if they cover each other while looking for cover and stuff

010

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 04/09/2026

Most importantly - I could just place these nodes manually. But the point is that I don't want to. And this way, I don't have to, either :D

000

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 04/09/2026

Obviously, if any given node is a suitable cover location needs to be determined based on the current player location and line of sight and such things. But y'know. Simple. Yet effective.

110

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 04/09/2026

Time to finally improve Lihas enemies. First step: Enhancing the navigation data generator to find nodes that can potentially be used as cover locations. Using my SDF data for that again, simply testing the distances. It works really well. Red nodes are potential cover. #gamedev

If I ever wished for a Unity feature to be backported it would have to be the serialized dictionaries. Ofc. they have a history of not doing such things. But I'm just saying

000

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 01/09/2026

Definitive advice! Would recommend

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 01/09/2026

The amount I struggled to get the line rendering between a lock & key pair ... Not so much building the line. It's more because I'm stubborn and I did not want to accept that my first attempt of getting the correct points simply wasn't going to work 🫠 #gamedev

A screenshot of a 3D minimap. It shows multiple rooms, of which 2 are a lock and a key room. An orange line is rendered between these 2 rooms to signify that they have a relation to each other

I know, I know. This ain't exactly the newest and hottest stuff. Substance Painter and the likes exist for many a years now. But listen. I wear many hats and in some disciplines, I'm way behind. And that's fine. It's why I try learning new things on a regular basis!

020

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 02/08/2026

It's learn-a-new-thing day. Today is material maker: github.com/RodZill4/mat... Tickles the right itch for me. Making new concrete designs for the bunker without having to scavenge the interwebs for stock photos of walls lol

Went ahead and condensed 2 hours of work into 4 minutes of me, building a bunker level piece for Liha. Please enjoy. youtu.be/aswC5IFkIjs #gamedev #indiegames

Building Pumping Station with Realtime CSG

Sneak peak at a new bunker element. This is going to be a bunker subset. Constituting drainage and sewer systems. Just one module of many. 90% of level geometry made with realtime CSG. Goes to show why this tool needs to survive, I feel like. #gamedev #indiegames

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 31/07/2026

Not all my work. There are some folks in the original repos issues, that keep dropping by, leaving fixes every now and then. Huge thanks to them. Of course, I also share my findings and fixes there

000

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 31/07/2026

Took time to hunt for some bugs and annoyances in my level editing tool of choice, yesterday. That codebase isn't mine and it's huge and complicated and very old, originating many many Unity versions and years back. But dang, it's going swimmingly now. The UX, anyway. The codebase ... eeeh xD

130

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 29/07/2026

Supposedly, that is what I always think and yet, miracoulously, I always find back after a painful period of trying to make everything make sense 😬 But can this be made less painful by some smarty-pants pattern usages or somesuch

000

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 29/07/2026

Does anyone know good resources on c# code gen? Not so much the "how to declare a code generator" but more like strategies for going to town with it. Complex support structures into partial types etc. I fear I'll absolutely not be able to understand what I did with my code in a couple months xD

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 21/07/2026

I'm over here, building cool stuff with technology that has been deemed woefully outdated. Not for me, it isn't.

010

Chris @gamekombinat.com · 21/07/2026

Started mocking up new spacesd with my hacked up version of realtime csg and it takes a little "getting-back-into" with the brush based workflow. But damn is it a breeze. Almost like back in the Hammer days. #gamedev #indiedev

Finally finished some technical stuff for the new missions. Also balancing crafted weapons in Liha. Time to start changing the level modules. Lots of stuff to address. Size, shape, cover opportunities, hidden spots ... that'll take me at least until somewhere in august. Oh dear 🫠
