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

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 25/05/2026

Where’s the black moustache edd??

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

Haha i bet! I’m trying to future proof myself as much as possible if I ever go to console so better to do it now before I have my demo out!

010

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 20/05/2026

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

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

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

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

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

010

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 07/04/2026

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

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

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

072

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Thank you! It’ll likely need some tweaks to make it feel more alive but shaders and materials is definitely the unknown for me lol

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

I’ve made everything myself in Photoshop! The music is from the asset store though

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Thank you! Thats kinda the idea, text based mmorpg!

110

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

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

So i had to build a toggle of numkeys thatd fake the date of the week and suddenly it works!

000

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

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 😂

110

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

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

0103

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

So the next major thing I’m looking at is the whole login flow, so title screen, login process, and then the in-between screens while the client pulls the info from the backend so it’ll feel seamless! Already the calls and response are very quick but there's obviously gonna be smoke and mirrors

000

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

Currently it checks your local account in steam and pulls the information into the game and creates a user, but Im upgrading that to be more secure with authentication tickets from steam itself so no hacking!

100

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

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

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

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

030

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

020

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 13/03/2026

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

1102

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 02/03/2026

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

0192

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 feel this, i only took up doing 3d again after a few years off and then to fight every habit of trying to rush it killed me

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 08/02/2026

Next project will be the cyte 09 Beefeater skin, royal guard vibes #tennogen #warframe

060

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 07/02/2026

Banshee Eagla Skin is now on the Steam Workshop! steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/... This has been a labour of love, 8 years later she’s in a good place #warframe #tennogen

182

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Update on Banshee! The helmet is done, I'm working now on cleaning up the tints on the body #tennogen #warframe

071

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 26/01/2026

She’s almost there! Just need to do some smaller details here and there and then finish panels and feet! #tennogen #warframe

081

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

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

020

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

I love that we have an artist frame and I would also love the following pls @warframe.com Tailor Frame Chef Frame Ice Skater Frame (slender male / cunty female cold unit pls) Woodcutter Frame Fisher Frame Botanist Frame And then weirder: Weather Frame Statuemaker Frame Gravity Frame

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

And finally updated! Tomorrow will Be finishing body and beginning the lowpoly

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

And with the helmet (needs detailing)

120

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 19/01/2026

Got some more work done on the body!

121

Conor / Hydroxate @hydroxate.bsky.social · 09/01/2026

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
