Getting* … it finished. I’m so tired 😩

Gregory B @itsmegregoryb.bsky.social · 12/09/2026

Hard at work creating the end-goal / set piece of the Wildrune demo finished, while also binging LOTR. Regardless… you shall not pass! (Outside of the demo zone, that is 😇) #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

Needed a small break from Wildrune (Demo should be out in 2-3 weeks!) But I'm concepting a game that's been on my brain lately - something inspired by Link's Awakening🤔 #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

That's... a lot of sound files 🫠 - but thank you! I'll try and search the track list for what I need!

Volume ON 🔊 Groundwork is laid for my SFX Manager - now it’s time to hook everything up! (If anyone can help me source some decent spell/enemy sounds, that’d be amaze amaze amaze!) #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

Will keep that in mind for the future! For now I settled on the shrines being the only save locations and respawn points after death. 😊

Sometimes life is just... you just need a moment of serenity. (Also learning about lighting and atmosphere) #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

Appreciate the help! I'll give it a go :)

That's helpful insight - thank you! I'd prefer to keep the shrines as a meaningful mechanic, similar to the typewriter rooms in RE. Maybe down the road I could introduce indirect checkpoints (say before a boss fight) but if you quit and load, you spawn at the last shrine you had interacted with.🤔

Game dev question! How do you balance manual saves vs checkpoints? My game has checkpoint shrines that roll back player/world state on death, but saving anywhere makes it easy to bypass that. Save anywhere, save only at checkpoints, or checkpoint-only autosaves? #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

Rough day at the office? Fret not! Wildrune now has interactable shrines that save your progress and restore you back to life. Keep on keeping on! #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

Presented my vertical slice of Wildrune today and I was NOT expecting this feedback- No pressure, right? 😅 Incredibly proud of this milestone but there's still so much more to do! 🔧 #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

Today's Wildrune update: HUD! ❤️ Health Bar 🧪 Health Tank Upgrade ⚔️ Combat HUD ⏳ Spell cooldowns Combat is getting easier to read and a whole lot more satisfying to play! 🍃 #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

I had two weapons that had their own scripts. I had to press X to swap from wand to staff, press 1/2/3 and THEN click LMB to run the AOE - It felt way too cumbersome. Now the player has both equipped, LMB shoots basic projectiles while 1/2/3 runs the AOE without extra steps. 😊

Ok ok, LAST update for today! 😂 🍃 Main Menu got prettier ⏸️ Pause Menu functional ⚔️ Combat flow cleaned up & feels smoother Super happy with how everything is starting to come together! Tomorrow is HUD and Level Design! Time for a beer!🍻 #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

Wildrune officially has a title AND a main menu! ▶️ Start ⚙️ Settings 📜 Credits 🚪 Quit Still need to replace the font and create a proper logo, but it's one more piece in place as everything starts coming together! ✨ #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

The End of Oak Street was an absolute RIDE! Was anticipating a Cloverfield connection, but the movie stands on its own without it. Super refreshing movie with a lot of heart - walked out of the theatre thinking "Damn, that was fun - now I want more."

Today was a BIG combat day. ⚔️ ✅ Finished the Druid’s combat system ✅ Overhauled every enemy & reworked their attacks ✅ Somehow didn't break everything Combat is officially in a pretty exciting place!✨ #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

After playing around with the 🛡️ Magic Shield, it felt a little too slow and unimportant. Now you can summon it instantly with RMB AND use it to deflect incoming projectiles from the reworked Mage. Much more satisfying! #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

Mini update on my school project! 🍃 Earth Proton 🌪️ Ice Tornado ⚡ Lightning Strike 🛡️ Magic Shield The Druid’s arsenal is starting to get a little out of hand... but at least I broke my enemies in the process so they can't fight back (yet) 😅 #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

On a scale of “che che che” to “ah ah ah” where we at? 😅

We can dance if we want to We can leave your friends behind 'Cause your friends don't dance And if they don't dance Well they're no friends of mine (I'm afraid to report that I've discovered Mixamo anims) #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D #mixamo

Just a lil cutey pie (READY TO SLAY HIS ENEMIES AND TAKE HIS PLACE UP ON THE THRONE) 🥺 (Also OBSESSED with the terrain editor!) #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

The tank is tanking! Tank enemy now patrols a radius and if the player gets to close, he engages in combat! If the player runs away, he goes back to patrolling🥳 #gamedev #indiedev #unity #unity3D

Gregory B @itsmegregoryb.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

Oh no. I landed first place out of 3 in the semi finals on the dev side. We’ll wait for the animation side to get their top 3 and go from there. Gonna puke.

Gregory B @itsmegregoryb.bsky.social · 23/07/2026

The pitch went very well! Got lots of great questions and feedback - and now we play the waiting game to see which one gets picked for our final project! Time for a drink.
