Taking any and all level design tips. The biggest reason that I haven't even got a demo for my game after 3 years of dev is simply because I put a lot of effort into a level and then decide that it's crap.

@cyreides.itch.io I commented this on the trailer yesterday, and now today the comments are turned off xD

Seeing modern lighting techniques in low poly games looks so weird, it puts me off, anyone else? I'm talking stuff like global illumination, ray-tracing, even screen space ambient occlusion, stuff that would never run on a PS2 or earlier consoles.

I added a Halo Reach style hologram. Spawning it in front of enemies cracks me up. #robothologrambukakke

This rock wall texture from Mario Kart Double Dash makes me feel much better about my own textures lmao Sometimes I spend hours on a texture, Nintendo out here just throwing a couple random shapes with slightly different colours and calling it a day.

Anyone know of a platformer where you have to manage a resource as you go through a level. And that resource is necessary for movement or something, like stamina or mana. I'm trying to think of a resource angle for my game but I want to see how it's been handled before

Animating with bendy bones is fun. This is the animation that plays when he notices you. Reminds me of those wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube dudes.

Just a few things I've been working on. Been toying with the idea of turning my game into a single long level where you climb a ginormous tree (with a few side missions that you enter through a portal).

Anyone else can't draw but make it work for the love of the game? (Definitely not getting imposter syndrome from seeing everyone else's games with incredible art 🫠)

Just another post about the power of vertex colours :)

I added a cheat toggle button so that I can get around faster to test things. Can change it back to regular gameplay as well (I don't know why I haven't added this for 2 years, it took like 5 minutes)

GnastyGames (Isle Of Avalon) @gnastygames.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Added a fade around the edges to give them a highlight, makes it easier to see the edge when you are looking down towards more snow. Also added tri point filtering for my textures today, something that is not an option by default in #Godot - gives it that #N64 vibe

Highlight on the edge so that you can see if you are about to walk off

Tri point filtering isn't an option in Godot, but I found a shader online that did it. I then had to make it work with world triplanar which was a little tricky for someone who doesn't usually write shaders (usually use visual shaders).

Feeling good about this sky box. I can't draw for shit, but vertex colours feels like a cheat code.

Vertex colour skyboxes are so pretty! (WIP)

When the game's capsule art is so bad that you know it's not ai and you instantly buy it (I don't want to post the image, they probably worked very hard on it).

Last update on Isle Of Avalon for a while, putting the project on pause while I work on a new project. I won't be working alone on the new project so hopefully it will progress quicker than this game. I will be back at some point and finally release a demo for IOA, this is too fun to abandon.

It's been 8 months since I posted in here, what have I done since? ... fuck all really. Having kids and a full time job makes this very hard but coming back here always gives me motivation.

Just wanted to say that everyone should be playing Metro Gravity (just came out yesterday). It's a gravity bending metroidvania where the combat is a rhythm game. It's awesome! store.steampowered.com/app/2986450/...

Metro Gravity on Steam

Explore, fight, solve puzzles and bend gravity to escape the dream-like world of the Halls! Metro Gravity is a mind-boggling musical adventure with rhythmic combat and compelling lore.

Ocean water shader + Added caustics to the ocean floor and used the second uv channel to add a mask for where the waves meet the shore to make them brighter. 🌊 I think it's finished now #godot #3d #platformer #water #shader

Made a new water shader based on the water from Super Mario Sunshine/Galaxy. It's still crazy to me that this is all just based on a couple of noise textures, no lighting or anything.

Always thinking that my game will never look as good as those that I take inspiration from. Did they think the same thing when developing their game? Will people think the same about my game when it's released? Gotta learn to be okay with good enough.

Trying to not go a week without posting progress so here is my tutorial level with some flowing water and a tree. Most of my work this week has been on sound effects but I can't be bothered to make a video right now so here's a screenshot.

GnastyGames (Isle Of Avalon) @gnastygames.bsky.social · 27/02/2025

My game needed a safe, low stress environment to teach the basic mechanics, so I created a little tutorial island

GnastyGames (Isle Of Avalon) @gnastygames.bsky.social · 23/02/2025

Finally added some particles and sound effects. Even just minimal stuff such as this makes astronomical returns in gameplay feel.

I added the ability to jump out of a roll (in a 0.2 sec time frame) for extra height. Not sure if there will be much of a use case considering Chakram jumping gives far more height, but at least you don't have to put the Chakram down first, maybe this is something speedrunners can use to min max

Dynamic tail test Godot 4.4 is absolutely goated for this. Still working on collision, but it's so fun to just wiggle about and surprisingly easy to implement.
