I was working on a (now abandoned) project that was basically Warioware but with all horror themed minigames.

placeholder texture for a generic asset in my game

I could watch the items dispensing for days 🤤 I spent sooo long trying to replicate the Valve style floating button prompts also. Not perfect and I'm really bad at math so it was kinda hard, but I'm overall pleased with the result. #IndieDev #Godot #Gamedev

Ceiling tile and fluorescent light textures made entirely procedural in Material Maker. This is what they look like in my game. #MaterialMaker #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev #3D

Bowling against heavy and light blocks

hypotensor @hypotensor.bsky.social · 18/08/2026

Blocks now have variable sizes and weights, and you can throw them. Heavy blocks are harder to throw and carrying them will slow you down. Certain materials are also heavier, with the solid metal being the heaviest. #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev

One step forward, two steps backward. I updated the physics for all the blocks in an attempt to make them behave more realistically. It seems I have more work to do... #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev

I wasn't touching 16ms so I added a bevel to make them look more like blocks. The smooth corners do a LOT of heavy lifting wow. Next up, a receptacle to put them in... #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev

2000 colourful items of various shapes and materials, each a physics object that can tumble around. Together, behaving like sand.

Somebody on Discord convinced me to make one of those sorting games that have been very trendy lately. I worked on it yesterday and today to get 2000 random objects working. There might be some repeats since there's only 1716 possible permutations but I will add more. #Godot #IndieDev #GameDev

going into stuff with the mindset of "im just experimenting" is great for getting past art block

After working on a static character for days, it's fascinating how just making them blink makes them feel alive. #blender #gamedev

"Games can look similar if they only use Kenney assets" Pot calling kettle black right there. Meshy assets look terrible and all the same.

Printed circuitboard material I made in #MaterialMaker today. Completely procedurally generated. PS, Material Maker is completely free and is really fun to use so go try it. It's also made with Godot! #3D #Godot #PBR

my guess is: the lighting is calculated on cpu and sent to the vertex colors?

hypotensor @hypotensor.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Oh this looks great! Thanks in advance for making this. Looking forward to playing around with this.

It's not so much about processing power. Old GPUs, like the one in the Gamecube, were what we consider "fixed-function" in that they didn't support fully programmable shaders. Generally, if the effect you wanted wasn't directly supported by the hardware, there was no way to achieve it.

021

hypotensor @hypotensor.bsky.social · 16/03/2026

I know the Gamecube has a limited fixed function fragment shader and some ability to read, write, and combine the render target to and from a texture. I doubt this is enough to do any convincing level of screen space reflections without a normal pass and without being able to read the Z pass.

Translucent foliage 🤤 No special shaders needed, just the right mix of rim and back lighting in Godot's standard materials. #godot #gamedev #3d

I recently found this free plugin called Nexus Vertex Painter. Absolute game changer for my workflow in Godot, bringing the Godot editor one step closer to a proper level editor. #godot

Glorp couldn't afford to fix his Spaceship. He had to borrow Gleep's 3005 Smartge Ship to get to work. Thanks Gleep! also sorry if the audio is bad my headphones broke and im producing on $12 earbuds. #godot #indiedev #glorp #alien

I'm just now realizing why every horror game has lighting like this. I've been making assets with the assumption everything would be unlit until now. #glorp #indiedev #horrordev

It's not just that the traditional games industry is stagnating, but that 1) economic incentives (tax policy, grants, etc.) do not prioritize companies that reinvest in themselves and 2) that unions have been systematically gutted and dismantled in the USA for the past 80 years by Republicans.

Thanks, I really appreciate that. Are you working in a similar aesthetic?

This CRT shader took me 2 days to write. It has: - Scanlines - Pixel perfect scrolling - Brightness - Gauss/magnet wobble - Static - Screen tint All with adjustable strength/speed and no moire artifacts What kind of game can you imagine this used in? #indiedev #godot #shader #gamedev #crt #retro

Some more experimenting with this dark pixel style in Godot. This was from a couple weeks ago when I was just getting into it, so it's a hodgepodge of hand drawn and downscaled pbr textures. #godot #horrordev #indiedev
