i have pivoted and trashed the charging attack, blocking, and stamina. the fun ive found is in the fast paced movement, dashing, and slashing also it FEELS GOOD to cut shit!!!! makes you lightweight and free to explore #gamedev #indiedev #godotengine

working on a small game for a personal game jam of one month this is the beginnings of HOLY WRIT, an arena combat game this week ive implemented the attack charging, blocking, dashing, and a very scalable viewmodel and movement system almost ready for some enemies #indiedev #gamedev #godot

had an idea for a horror game on Steam with persistent/real world elements sort of like OneShot having a bot Steam account setup where the antagonist messages the player *on their Steam account* I feel like the chill you would get from receiving a 'look behind you' from "RESTRICTED" would be crazy

got a new laptop and de-shittifying Windows is insane bloatware, ads, cortana, mobile games pre installed worst of all is OneDrive, which feels like fighting a viral contagion. I finally managed to fully remove it after way too long if compatibility wasnt an issue for Linux, id make the switch

thinking about doing another game jam. any jams coming up you're excited about? if anyone has need for a generalist and has/wants to form a group then lets make somethin happen!

heads up that when browsing #gamedev feed you can block the new ads by excluding the "promotion/ads" tags, or using @steinmakesgames.bsky.social's gamedev feed instead!

getting him into the engine some outline goofiness from the normals being messed up, and i think he needs some more texturing to add some flavor; he's a bit bland once in a scene #gamedev #godot #b3d #indiedev

does anyone have 3d modeling/ art discord servers they're a part of? a space to share art, get critiques if desired, and generally learn as a group? thinking ill start with the Blender public discord first

first gamedev meetup went great! some interesting people doing really cool things in the group I was a bit disappointed that so many people didnt show up who RSVPd but it was still a win! 🙂 next time will be a showcase meeting at a library and ill try and drum up some more buzz around it

I love this neat little trick to make a seamless texture "twist" around your geometry, without actually twisting the geometry itself. Blender's proportional editing is a life-saver, for modeling and UVs. Every type of falloff curve is useful for some situation. #b3d

really loving this 2006 paper by the F.E.A.R devs on making great AI using goal-oriented planning a pretty basic FSM will work for my purposes, but im getting great tips on decoupling behaviors. it should pair well with Godots component-minded approach www.gamedevs.org/uploads/thre...

ive learned my brain appreciates chaotic task flowcharts instead of long checklists I like moving ideas/tasks and connectin em with noodles I can identify a task that's a nexus to many others & see the impact of cracking it really helps me see rational paths of development & task dependencies

nothing to show quite yet, but the animation system is now working in Godot's AnimationTree framework. I'll tidy up getting it to feel right, and then get back to combat mechanics.

in another instance of making things tougher on myself for no reason, i do all of these animations in code & am now realizing the growing pains this will cause ive spent the last few days transitioning to an AnimationPlayer node instead it will take some doing to get it as smooth 🥲 #gamedev

Quick dungeon vibe test yesterday. I don't love it, but it's good to get some progress in that area. time to iterate a bunch #gamedev

"don't have a zero day" is great to live by to ensure you're staying consistent in your progress but dont let that become "you have to work every single day" sometimes "don't have a zero day" can just be picking up the thing **and not doing anything with it***. just critically look at it

ive been obsessed w/ metaphorical/symbolic interactions in games Ian Bogost/Frasca call this 'procedural/simulation rhetoric': 'to model a (source) system through a different system which maintains some of the behaviors/notions of the source' probably obvious to many, but explore w/ me🧵

introducing some palette colors and testing out more art styles posterization wasn't really working but I may try it again later

Interesting #godot shader spotted! Since color is likely going to be used to display certain information in my game, this may be something I try out, to ensure the game is still clear at a glance, or provide alternative methods for displaying that info. #accessibility #gamedev #indiedev

does anyone have advice on color correction and maintaining a (relatively) consistent palette in Godot? I match albedo to my palette, but I can't help thinking a shader with some posterization and some other techniques could really tighten it up. #gamedev #godotengine #indiedev
