The demo is finally live! The last two months of playtest have been great to fix bugs and improve certain systems!

I’ve been going through each interface and making sure that controller works and I believe every screen is now working! Having to do custom focus etc cos unity’s navigation is awful, but we made it and I can play it on my steam deck 😭 #indiegame #gamedev #uiux

Besides writing lots of dialogue, I’ve been adding lots of small animations across @kintgame.bsky.social to make things feel a but more alive #indiegame #indiedev #unity #gamedev #fantasygame

I hate making icons, but these are better than the placeholders at least

This was how my game started off, i mapped out all the screens and use cases first in wireframes, which I think sped up implementation a tonne, since i was already dry thinking of reusable components / scaling structures etc #gamedev #indiedev

We have some animations in! The editor isnt as bad as I thought, very like After Effects but my god was a pain to get some of them working with code as theyre not just activated on enable #gamedev

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 04/04/2026
Progress update on @kintgame.bsky.social , core systems are almost fully working! Still to do the settings and fix some small tweaks with how dialogue works! I am dreading the vfx / animation polish 😂 #gamedev

So I’m testing out the main social system of my game and its the first time I’m dealing with schedules in the server that locks / changes UI which is great but its working too well and I couldnt test the UI that is there during the weekdays 😂

Updated the logo to make it feel more old, unity is not liking my glow gradients so will see how to get this effect in the title screen #gamedev

Progress on my game! We have a working dialogue system, travel system, social system including chat and profiles all talking to a live backend on AWS! I’ve also built some editor tools that will help the writing a tonne, so great progress! Next is user account and authentication #gamedev #ui #ux

since my game is essentially online world building, @brandonsanderson.com class on world building is amazing to frame the thought process

Spent some time cleaning up buttons since I have 75% of the UI blocked in! #gamedev

I've been trying to improve my UI Art skills for a while and now since I'm working on my own game I can finally put it to use! here's a little peak into some clickable elements #gamedev #UI #UX

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 28/02/2026
I finally started my own little #gamedev project! The game design flow and ux wireframes are roughly mapped out but the sheer amount of visual and writing work to be done my god

I love Follie but not a fan of the default helmet so can't wait to see the alt. I will definitely be making a skin for her when she's out

A while back I shared some doodles of a skater warframe. I fleshed her out a little: Freja The Ice Skater. Skating the frozen lakes of Pluto, she inspired the designs of the scrambus by the corpus. Movement Constantly skating. Can switch direction with sprint tap.

So I found out my contract on Candy Crush will be over this month! Think I’ll take January off just to relax but still wondering if I should continue freelancing or maybe go back to full time, lots of pros and cons with each but the market is a little volatile atm #gamedev #uxui

How I'd Rework Banshee
YouTube video by Hydroxate

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 01/12/2025
I’m working on a video about how I’d rework banshee! But you can get a little sneak peak: PASSIVE Silent Execution Banshee deals increased damage with silenced weapons - including any weapon fired inside Silence’s aura. This shifts passive silence from convenience to meaningful gameplay

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 28/11/2025
So I really wanna go back to my old banshee skin which I did when I was learning sculpting! This time she’ll look like she can actually scream and feature more auditory inspirations and earbone shapes #tennogen #warframe
