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

And what its currently looking like, almost there with animating all the screens! But next we try to make the settinsg screens actually work and then look at typewriter effects/ cursors control and other accessibility things

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

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

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

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 13/03/2026
This is the progress over the last few days! Only a few more pages to go over before an art pass and then figuring out how to do nice vfx in Unity

I'm doing this thing where I do proper and do the forms in as low poly as possible instead of rushing to sculpting higher details - 2026 is the year of proper innit

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.
