There are a variety of level modifiers now for the tracks in my procedural racing game ❗ - Increases the difficulty 🔁 - Adds multiple laps ↗️ - Doubles the distance 💀 - Boss node that significantly increases difficulty and unlocks the next section #gamedev #indiegame

Here's Infinite mode gameplay. I'm finishing up the UI and unlock system for levels #gamedev #indiegame

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 01/07/2025

Went down a rabbit hole of performance improvements and rewriting generator code. Your craft shows when it takes damage now 💥 #gamedev #indiegame #drift

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 18/06/2025

I've got 3 biomes with 3 variants hooked up into the map generator for y'all to boost and drift through 🌳🪨🏛️ #gamedev #indiegame #proceduralgeneration

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 11/06/2025

I just found out you can use emojis in your folder names am I procrastinating? maybe my brain goes yes whenever I open the project now though

011

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 22/05/2025

Carnivorous plants are now animate 🌱 Just about all props are functional We got portals 👌 #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 21/05/2025

Thanks for 50 follows! There are 9 distinct biome variants now. These are sort of like brushes for the map generator and I'm very excited to see them in action #gamedev #indiegame #procedural

0123

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 15/05/2025

We've got more biome variation! I'm excited to plug these into the map generator #gamedev #indiegame #vectorart #exploration

0114

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 14/05/2025

Continuing to make the biome variants more distinct, which is your favorite? 1. Woodlands 2. Bog 3. Jungle 4. Crystal Cave 5. Fungal Cavern 6. Mine #gamedev #indiegame #2.5D

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 13/05/2025

Working on making biomes/variants more visually distinct and finishing up level gameplay #indiegame #gamedev #vectorart

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 05/05/2025

Dev Log 2 is coming soon, I've got a launcher up on my itch if you wanna play the latest dev build of Rift Drift #indiegame #gamedev

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 09/04/2025

I've made some updates to the level select UI and you can CATCH YOUR SPEDOMETER ON FIRE with enough SPEED #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 03/04/2025

I've done a huge refactor to the universe sampling system so levels spawn with more variety and balance. Now it's just a matter of polishing up the level gameplay and adding more obstacles/biomes #gamedev #indiedev #vectorart #proceduralgeneration

082

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 30/03/2025

The map generator has been tweaked to spawn more balanced levels (no more forests with nothing but wind boosters)

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 11/03/2025

Each biome has a few resources you can collect by interacting with the environment ⛏️ 🪵🍄🪨 #gamedev #indiegame #drift

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 10/03/2025

I've been working on resources you can collect to craft upgrades and customizations for your rocket

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 25/02/2025

I've made a recursive graph based level select menu to hold a universe of procedurally generated levels. With the current configuration this maps to 1,500 levels #gamedev #indiegame

052

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

Experimenting with custom craft graphics. Try the latest dev build on itch! hyperquest-games.itch.io/rift-drift-dev

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 05/02/2025

Level's now have save data and there is a minimum momentum mechanic to incentivize speed #gamedev #indiegame

Brain is stuck so it's off to graphland

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 19/01/2025

I think the hardest part of developing a game has been telling myself no. You've gotta be willing to compromise on a perfect vision and cut things if you ever want to finish anything

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 31/12/2024

I've gotten the Island to Level loop working. Every node in a possibility space of infinite islands map to a unique level #gamedev #indiegame

071

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

Island/Level Select is in progress. Making a Universe to drift in might be overkill but it's satisfying to see it come to life #gamedev #indiegame

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Forest & Cave track generation with procedural biome variants for my Infinite Drifting Game #gamedev #indiegame

091

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

I've been restructuring the base biome tables to prepare for level generation. Now each biome can procedurally generate it's own variants and I'm really liking the way different forest look blending into one another #gamedev #indiegame

071

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 16/12/2024

The foundation for procedural level maps is done. Now to map each of the nodes in these islands to unique levels #gamedev #indiegame

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Level graph generation has received a nice overhaul thanks to this gem of a guide on Slay the Spire's map generation 👇 tinyurl.com/SlayTheSpire...

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

I had no idea of the sheer amount of lines I would be generating when I started this project 📈😵‍💫📈 #gamedev #indiegame

082

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Polished the UI and added transitions to my infinite drifting game #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing #flow

083

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 12/12/2024

I think the infinite game mode is done for now, onto procedural levels #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing #flow

HyperQuest Games @hyperquestgames.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Procedural prop placement is working 🙌 Mushroom bounce has been reworked 🍄 #gamedev #indiegame #drift #racing #flow
