Sick run through the playest! I really enjoyed seeing your reactions and learned about some things to improve. Thanks so much for the video :D

Awesome, thanks so much! and really glad to hear it works well on the Deck, I don't have one to test myself.

seriously made an impression, it convinced me that fast projectiles are often cooler than hitscan for that kind of weapon

it's so fun. Something about the round structure/weapons/maps captures that feeling of early online gaming where people didn't know how to be tryhards.

love the proportions on this, and alpha cutout arrows are a nice touch

Wooden Shield! Not super happy with the colors but since this was mostly for practice purposes I didn't wanna get stuck on this for too long. :P #lowpoly #3dmodeling #pixelart #blockbench #retro #art #medieval #digitalart #3Dart

that's great :D thank you!

Thanks so much for playing! Yeah I'm running a sneaky lowkey playtest as the game still has a ways to go, just looking to get the earliest feedback. Let me know if you have any thoughts on the game if you haven't already :)

Just finished Metal Garden, highly recommended. It's an atmospheric fps by @alexandraht.bsky.social. The way the worldbuilding/narrative unfolds through the level design and snippets of info is fantastic.

The player looks down upon many dilapidated, crisscrossing highways under a dome inside a concrete megastructure.

The player looking at techno-brutalist windmills in a canyon of the megastructure.

I wish that at least one of the Steam competitors would realize the absolute baseline is having a good client app. They always throw together an ugly, bloated web browser disguised as an app that simultaneously has no features. People who play games care about UX!

Gameshaped @gameshaped.com · 12/02/2025

This sounds so sick, it's honestly exactly what I want them to do with the formula. Throwing together a fresh build each run sounds so fun.

hey it's cool to find you on bsky! I believe some of your dungeon dioramas populate my inspo boards for the game I'm working on :) These look rad!

This looks sick, love the HUD and retro vfx

fantastic, can't believe I'm only just seeing this now. Can't believe how detailed the environments are at such a large scale!

When the cost of hiring an artist would be a tiny fraction of the total production cost, why do you think they do it? "Testing the waters" feels a bit conspiratorial to me. I'm wondering if it's just lazyness of a couple individuals who don't feel like involving someone else in the process?

looks like an editor for the perfect game: a mix of wc3 and populous: the beginning

Screw it here is one more sneak peak from the Indie FPS of the Year that goes LIVE in just 3 hours! It's peak into one of the BEST looking FPS games that you never heard of by @gameshaped.com ! Catch the show: www.youtube.com/live/bg0RebK...

thanks so much! Haha yeah it took a lot of time to get the system working right. A mix of canned animations, bendy-bones responding to impacts, and impacts physically moving the target.

Gameshaped @gameshaped.com · 13/12/2024

I gave Zlim a new Blast Judgment trailer for this showcase :) Looks like it'll be at Noon EST on the 14th (Saturday) Super excited to see the show he puts together. If it's anything like his summer show, it'll be a great way to learn about upcoming shooters. And applaud this year's greats!

Thank you good to hear! I gotta try out your demo -- especially if you're taking any inspiration from Downwell, one of my faves!

Gameshaped @gameshaped.com · 11/12/2024

thanks :D yeah ADS is such a satisfying modern innovation, too good to give up, at least for precision-oriented weapons.

010

Gameshaped @gameshaped.com · 11/12/2024

so cool! I haven't even played SMO, but this looks great. I hope there's a really satisfying (twangy?) sound for the poke.

Describe your #indiegame like this: "For when you really like ___ but ___" Blast Judgment: for when you really like Morrowind but want it to play like Halo. #gamedev #lowpoly

love it, the cheeks being soft red instead of a hard dot make it look like he's just a bit embarrassed to be here, in such a state

Gameshaped @gameshaped.com · 29/11/2024

totally agree, pretty much all games had that workflow. I think the difference I see with VS is that the pixelled-over details are more forward and on lots of textures compared to the average PS1 game. And maybe it wasn't very visible on the original hardware, but it sure looks nice now!

020

Gameshaped @gameshaped.com · 29/11/2024

excellent material! I've done some studying of them for my project. Something notable is how the textures seem to have photo or handpainted base layers, but then manual pixel art details are added on top. Those single-pixel width details really add to the precision of this unique style!

Looks good on phone, not great on desktop, like pretty much any video I've seen on this platform. Native gif support would be real nice.

Gameshaped @gameshaped.com · 27/11/2024

Are games that already have Steam pages still interesting for publishers to pick up? Since I've seen it - when is it beneficial for both dev+pub to make such a deal?

Gameshaped @gameshaped.com · 27/11/2024

Hey I remember you posting this in David's shack, it looks cool! Angry birds + deck builder sounds fun

010

Gameshaped @gameshaped.com · 27/11/2024

this design is so cool! Really fantastic job with the dynamics on the hair, it's so fun to have a good system for that - adds so much flavor to movement. Looking forward to seeing where this project goes :)

standard stuff but feels good to have full rebinding functionality locked in... incl. optional secondary keys, binding on scroll. Always harder than it should be :P

Blast Judgment game settings menu, input rebinding

haha amazing! The sounds are perfect for this guy gliding across the floor to be fair. I have to fix a bunch of issues with my flyers too, they're the worst!
