Showcasing some trees I made for Melon 3 Studio. Loved working on these! Of course, they look better in the actual game with the proper shaders applied, so hop over to Harvey's account and see what he is building! 👉 @melon3.com #gameassets #indiegamedev #vegetation #3Dart #gameart

🌸 Making improvements to placement! Added an optional grid indicator for players, and now you can hold Ctrl or long-press to snap objects right to the edge of their grid square—super smooth and satisfying. ✨ #yokai #gamedev #indiedev #madewithunity #featureupdate #devlog #cozygame👻🦊

✨Creatures are starting to get unique behaviors! Mothman 🦋 now flies up to tall perches and hangs out before fluttering back down. ^^ He’s the first in the game with a flying behavior (though he’s still a bit clunky in the air)! #indiedev #gamedev #yokai #mothman #unity3d #cozyhorror #devlog

Added the functionality to make certain parts of objects spawn at random with their own rarities like the lily pads and mushrooms on these logs! #gamedev #solodev #indiedev
A screenshot of a game showing six logs and six ponds. The logs each have a different amount of mushrooms on them and the ponds have different amount of lily pads.

11/15/2024 #gamedev log: Been quietly in the tank working on creature behavior! They now have needs and will act upon their environment based on them ^^ I can also tweak the defaults to make some creatures like certain things more, for example the kappa love bathing! #indiedev #indiegame
