Some renders as we dip our toes back into #gamedev (Took a nice long vacay after a long game jam and getting married, finally ready to start up again!) #b3d #blender #indiegame

Idk why I can't get Deadly Premonition off my mind lately... (Silly tier list, kinda want to replay soon. Such a good game for Autumn lowkey..) tiermaker.com/create/deadl... #gaming #deadlypremonition

We would export the UV map for certain body parts or pieces and use it as a 'frame' in an Aseprite layer to know where to put everything. (I know there's an add-on where you can paint on the model in real time but, just can't get it to work, so this process worked really well for us.)

Dude's face texture without the UV map overlay.

Some behind the scenes on the modeling process for Champ now that the dust of the jam has settled. (Such a fun model, I love making critters!) #indiegame #b3d #postal #blender

Prototype Champ. Just a brown cube with a red collar. This really helped us make sure he was facing the right way before making the full model for movement tests in engine. No Blender yet. Just two cube mesh instances and a dream.

Sort of half baked mesh, no fun textures yet. Trying to get the proportions right. Goblin-esque.

The final product! All textured, rigged and ready to go! Ended up making him a lot smaller. More compact.

Some slightly cursed screenshots of Champ for #postaljam (His jaw bone is a little finicky so I need to be careful when I move him sometimes 😭) #postal #blender #gamedev

Sometimes armatures don't cooperate like you'd want them to....

Pretty normal. Just pissing. Still brings me joy to see Piss as an animation in Blender though LOL.

He looks angry here and his ears went way too low, giving me gargoyle vibes

About a week later... (Finally delved into painting our own textures and UV unwrapping and it was totally worth it. 🤓) #postal #3D #gamedev

The Dude's Yard in our style, just about done. Now we can move onto making the Dude and his Champ!

The inspiration behind it. The Dude's yard in Postal 2.

This might be the only game jam you'll ever be making a dog army in #postal to see how they programmed the dogs LOL

Screenshot from Postal 2, two random darker colored dogs and Champ the pitbull.

A peek at the new glasses for #multipaldevlog (Think we may drop a small pack of new cosmetics soon!) #indiegame #godot #plural #did #gamedev

Multipal V.2.1 is now live! (Devlog and downloads here!) Extra goodie included! 👼👼 pandesoft.itch.io/multipal-dem... #gamedev #plural #indiegame #godotengine #didsky #multipaldevlog

New cover for Multipal V.2.1! The team as angels. From the left, it's York, Mars, Zach and Donny. Cloyd is in the middle of them, he's like the poster child for the game.

Made a #ElliottSmith #3Ds theme based on Figure 8! (Would love to make more of these..) themeplaza.art/item/129694 #nintendo #ds #themeplazza

Think this is the back of the album, you can see him posing upside down lol, songs are listed on the left but it's hard to see with how grainy the photo is. Just popped this here to give the post a little pizzaz lol.

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 04/05/2026

Next update is almost finished cooking! Just a few more adjustments! (If anyone has any hairstyles or eyes/mouth designs--Let us know!) Sort of an unspoken rule but we always like to dedicate cosmetics to donators especially as a thank you! 👼👼 #Multipaldevlog #gamedev #godotengine #plural

Save slots are coming to #Multipal! V.3 is almost done baking in the oven... (Can barely believe this entire customization system has taken nearly 2 years to develop on it's own!) 👼👼 #didsystems #didsky #plural #indiegame #gamedev #godotengine

(Old model versus New) Changed up the art style and Cal's design a little bit. #indiegame #b3d #blender #thebendsdev

Old Model. A pale man with an orange hunting colored baseball hat, there's a gray deer emblem on it. He's wearing hunter's camouflage on a tank hoodie with blue shorts and brown work boots. He's posed as if he's floating in mid air.

Same man as before, now with facial features, tank has changed to a hoodie, and shorts to ripped jeans. He's smoking a joint and adjusting his hat.

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Bingo. Unfortunately even trying to fix it made it ten times worse, tried adjusting weights to zero and it somehow got worse. (Glad we're not alone in weight paint hate 😭) Solution in the end we just had to delete the faces that were glitching out. (Thankfully they're covered by his clothes!)

Weight painting on Cal's right shin. Unsure how this even happened tbh.

Weight painted brushed to zero, mesh deforms at his shin.

Post weight paint fix attempt, apparently turns his flesh into elastic.

010

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

The only solution we could find was surgery. (Removed all the faces that were effected. (Luckily his clothes cover any 'incisions' teehee..) #b3d #blender #indiegame

Cal with a huge chunk surgically removed from him in edit mode.

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

So odd. Here's the vertex group for his right shin. Doesn't have anything else added but this I believe.

R.Shin selected in material preview mode.

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Weird..Vertex group madness. (Everytime we move his right shin bone...he gets uh...excited) LOL. #b3D #blender #3D #indiegame

Cal's model. Bright orange hat with a deer on it, camo sleeveless hoodie, jeans and boots.

Rightt Shin Bent on model. Crotch stretches out and part of his torso comes down too. The sections moving are not inside the right shin bone vertex group....and its driving us crazy!!

Intended behaviour, left side for some reason works fine. No extra stretching.

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Would love to actually put it in game. Like how Dark Dreams don't Die let's you customize the characters. (I love making Teddy look like he lives in Cape Cod.)

Teddy from D4 by Swery65. He's in a customized outfit with a lobster and clamshell patterned shirt and white shorts with black glasses.

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Angelo got a new outfit, doesn't seem as threatening now, huh? Inspired by our vacation destination. (Going to an anime convention!) #indiegame #b3d #lowpoly

Angelo from our games, 'Ratcession' and 'Tired' dressed as a stereotypical 'catgirl' maid. The trading floor from Ratcession is in the background. Large columns and railings. Three Monitors at the top.

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

So. What I think happened was we accidentally saved the main level over an instanced scene of a 'door' while making the map. Luckily we have the real level saved over the 'door' scene which is working as intended. But this nightmare is the main level just instanced over every single door on the map.

The actual map, as is. All those light colored curtains with white looking lines on them are the 'doors'. They're just curtains you can pass that have physics, but we're calling them doors just for organization sake.

'Starting Room' is the main level...or it was supposed to be. Thankfully the 'physics curtain' tab has the 'door' scene saved so we can still use it without any trouble. Starting room currently is all kinds of messed up. LOL.

Sculpting little folds and loose wrinkles into some sweats (Next to find some silly designs for his shirt and sculpt that too!) #b3d #blender #thebendsdev

(Left leg is unsculpted, right leg has been sculpted in this WIP.)

Jamie's sweatpants all sculpted...he's a-posing

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 04/03/2026

Learned how to make renders have a background today. (..And Jamie has a second bandmate.) Eventually they'll be able to afford clothes too. (and two more bandmates) #indiegame #thebendsdev #b3d #blender #gamedev

A blonde man looking up at a taller blue haired man with a short beard that grows along his jaw. They're 3D models in a low poly art style.

The blonde man looks down, the blue haired man looks up.

Ok. Not bad!...*Rotates camera* OH... (It's giving friar tuck.) #b3d #blender #indiegame

Stylized Low Poly bust of Jamie Bends. He has blonde hair that covers his eyes and his lower bottom lip pouts outward.

Definitely digging doing this through edit mode more than the sculpting we tried last time. This time we have a better reference for our favorite depressed guitarist. (Shape is coming along better this time. Going to layer lips and nose over this. Make things simpler.) #thebendsdev #gamedev #b3d

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 26/02/2026

Some different model experiments over the past snowy week. (Anyone else stuck in the blizzard? Also. I am NOT strong enough for manual retopology..) #gamedev #b3d #thebendsdev

Humanoid model being retopologized. Can't handle this shit lmao.

(Unwrapping and texture painting. Scrapping this model but it was a good learning experience!)

The full body minus..arms.. Of our model. No hair either. Scrapped at that point.

*Troubleshooting Blender* Chris : Well. What version is it? York : OH.... Today we realized our Blender is ancient. (And crumbling.) Found out by all the changes to add-ons/extensions. #blender #b3d #indiedev #gamedev

Blender icon on our desktop... 4.0 version

Link text reads : "Download Blender 5.0" ... Google result for "Blender current version"

Ok yeah definitely from parenting to the table LOL (Feel like I'm looking at before after pictures) #indiegame #gamedev #thebendsdev

Bong in its natural healthy habitat. Normal. Unparented.

061

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Looks perfectly normal in #blender maybe something happened when we parented to the coffee table in godot... (Probs a scaling issue now that our brain cells are rubbing together LOL)

000

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Left is normal. Right is how it looked when we imported to #Godot. Not sure what happened but I don't think Jamie should be allowed to roll anymore. (Had to shrink it down 😭) #gamedev #indiegame #thebendsdev

Two joints on a coffee table, one is slightly burned.

The joints again, one is normal sized and the other is massive and flat??

multipaldev 🏳️‍⚧️👼🇵🇭 @multipaldev.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

I think rigging is scarier than the game we're making (Various parenting shenanigans...Reworking the model to be #gamedev friendly.) #b3d #blender #indiegame

This is what things are supposed to look like. Jamie stands with his guts out trying to stop them from being dragged by a monster that will be in the game.

Guts mesh changed scale after being parented the wrong way.

Jamie's body (sans hair...) shrunk after being parented the wrong way.

Jamie straight up dissociating from his body. (Canon)

Does anyone know some good #indiegames or any games in general that deal with #ptsd and childhood trauma? (Our next project has a lot of themes around this and we're looking for inspo.) #gamedev #gaming

Character from our indie game The Bends II displayed in Blender. He's looking down and the camera shows him in a side portrait. It's the upper half of his body. He has messy hair. His entire being is a shadow.

Another view of the shadow character in Blender, he's floating and he's upside down. Head is tilted, arms slightly extended and legs flowing.

The spike in views yesterday for the snow day is so real. I imagine a lotta people were playing with the #itchio randomizer thingy (Any reccomendations btw? 👀) #indiegames #gamedev

A graph of our itchio views by day, there's a big spike Jan 26 when there's a massive snowstorm coming through Northeastern(?) America.

23 DL's on last year's indie game bundle really shook me to my core. It's crazy though. Multipal looks so different here. (Old version on the left, new on the right!) Hoping to bring the new one to you all in the 2025 mega mix! #multipaldevlog #indiegame #godotengine

Old version of Multipal (Included in Pandesoft Mega-Mix 2024)
