I don't know what this aesthetic is called where it's a mix of old and new but I like it a lot

I am back 🙌! Originally was going to pack it in after this week but I'm having fun, and the gameplay seems to be fun. Here's a level that plays around with "pulse orbs" which manipulate many small enemy mechanics to create emergent gameplay. They're very chaotic. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

(Week 8): Working on this project daily, but having ahard time with it -_- Struggling to justify the gameplay's existence, and there are elements that aren't very fun. It's frustrating because I know the fun is there. Anyway here are some lasers and missiles. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Week 7: Scoring system! Very Ultrakill inspired. Going for something a little more complicated than Blade Rush, and trying to encourage the playstyle I intend in a deeper way while not dampening player expression. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Today: cool line sdfs and shaders. What I should have been doing: working on gameplay. #gamedev #indiedev

Noba @noba.games · 02/04/2026

Week, ummmm... 5? or 6 maybe? I've been working on a lot of polish and sounds, also added a basic ui. There's also finally a complete game loop now! Ok I'm going to play Lethal Company byeeeeeeeeeeeeee #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Noba @noba.games · 27/03/2026

Playing around with more soundz(tm): This is fun. I should probably write more code soon. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Day 30! In fact I think it's even less than that. More like day 20? Oh well. Today: MORE REFACTORING. I am however firmly in the groove with this project now. I had some time to add some sound effects, improve the bullet visuals, and add an enemy spawn warning. #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Noba @noba.games · 24/03/2026

Day 28 ✨ Spent today refactoring the effects to make it easier to reuse/spawn variations between objects reusing instances as much as possible. #indiedev #gamedev #games

Possibly one of the most obscure choices ever, but Raiwat Libra from the game RefleX lol You're basically fighting the equivalent to an angel in mech form above the barren remains of earth in a beat up fighter jet controlled by an AI (the corpse of the pilot is also inside the ship) (1/3)

Day 27: Lots more polish needed, but I'm getting somewhere. #gaming #gamedev #indiedev

Enemy Possession Platformer (Day 18): Small bits and pieces today. Added some effects to the player, they already feel a lot nicer. Also added a little extra to the tile grid shader. #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Noba @noba.games · 11/03/2026

Enemy Possession Platformer (Day 17): Working on tile/grid effects... Kind of happy with this. Big learning experience trying to utilise shaders properly. Unsure if the darkness of the grid clashes with the bright background too much. #gamedev #indiedev #gaming

Noba @noba.games · 10/03/2026

Enemy Possession Platformer Week 2: Spent a few days working on the art style. Going for a computery/digital world kind of aesthetic. #indiedev #gamedev #gaming

Day 6 (approx): Made a simple level&improved the AI of the first basic enemy I added. I wanted to give them natural movement so pathfinding wasn't an option as they would be too rigid that way. With this method they seem to avoid getting stuck, will have to try more complex maps. #gamedev #indiedev

Noba @noba.games · 25/02/2026

I'm going to be awful at this because I'm too tempted to make new posts. I was at the hospital today, but I got *just* enough work done to implement a nifty little wave editor for my game's level flows. Pretty cool! Tomorrow: Creating a level! #gamedev #indiedev #gamedevelopment

Unity pausing sux. I can understand there being no one solution since ultimately it's a vague problem with different needs, but I wish we could manually dispatch update calls without needing a custom method. I spent today implementing and testing that instead of working on the fun ideas I had.

020

Noba @noba.games · 23/02/2026

Okay. I'm gonna start doing one of these too, for as long as this project goes on for: I've been working on an enemy possession mechanic for a game idea I've had in my head for a long time. Using it as an excuse to finally finish a project in unity. Here's week 1: #gamedev #indiedev

Crucible allows the player to control the difficulty, by increasing it when they destroy the pickup, then collecting it when to overcharge their blaster for maximum scoring. It's chaotic and a lot of fun! Switchblade is out in 4 days (I missed yesterday's post :)))) ) #gamedev #indiedev
