Also this isn't an advertisement for them lol. I went from 2D game development to 3D relatively recently and I like to share the random tools I found that helped me move between 'em lol

Oh this honestly looks really good! UV unwrapping for me is the hardest part of modeling, but if you are looking for a easy way to paint 'em in Blender, there is a paid addin that just came out that does a suprisingly good job with it if you are a pixel artist. alfredbaudisch.itch.io/pixel-art-st...

The real test is "can I stay at this pace" once I hit a boring part to make, haha.

The world is slowly becoming more full! Got all the residents with lil' dialogues, and as you progress through the game, their interactions will progress too! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Decided characters within the god realms will be named by combining their god and main characteristic. For example, this one is Akhetra, a devotee of Ra and the sun's horizon. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Steal it idgaf. That's a lie I do. But you should be proud of me, I'm not even making a Starfox-like this time.

That said, I still strongly recommend putting up a steam page as early as possible. Not only because getting wish lists started early is super helpful, but also establishes that your idea came first of ya ever gotta battle it. Wishing the best to all fellow devs haha, its a weird time for it lol

I'm going to be very honest and say this is terrible advice. Unlike publishers, Indie Developers don't generally have an advertising budget, so their only way of getting eyes is by posting their work and progress. Thieves will thieve no matter what. Don't let it remove your only advertising.

At what point does my game become "Spyro but bird"? lol jk, but defo pulling more inspiration from Spyro than most any other source. Is that a good thing, idk, I wanna believe it is. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

So unlike Twitter, I somehow gained followers instead of losing them here. Bluesky peeps built different.

Came across the first ever renders I made of Lars and Dr. Aura from 2013(?) I forgot that Dr. Aura used to be a young edgy emo when I originally made him, lmao. I'd like to believe that's just what he used to be growing up, haha. ^.^'

True enough! I wonder if any more recent titles do the portal/hub thing.

Randy Becker 🕹️ Unit Down @properdev.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

A new tool just released for vertex shading! I'm gonna at least play with it, but for now my current shader is pretty limited because, well, I am limited in my abilities, lmao.

Randy Becker 🕹️ Unit Down @properdev.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

Level Portals! I know Spyro already did this. I don't care. I like it. Also had to make custom camera snapping and smoothing. Shoulda used Cinamachine, but nahh. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Finally finished making the tileset for the Sanctuary (hub area)! Now I just gotta start populating it with the citizens and create the portals for each stage, Spyro-style! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Gahhhh I am so jealous. It's one of the few items I can't obtain for my gallery too. But glad somebody worthy has one.

Been usin' #crocotile3d to set up my scenes and... yeah, I think I'll be using it for the rest of the game. The placement of the tiles is SO easy with this program... arguably, the only hard part is all the sprites I have to draw haha. ^.^' #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Not gonna lie, the compression on here is staggering, haha. Here is a screenshot of it in-game! Pixel are crisp, I just gotta learn how to encode my videos better for uploadin' here, lol.

Randy Becker 🕹️ Unit Down @properdev.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

Created a Pixel Shader, and made some wall and floor textures! Haven't done pixel art environments in years so hope it looks good! ^.^' #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

I know it's not that exciting, but I removed EVERY "quad", AND (with a lot of labor) managed to reduce the number of triangles to only 1,450! Right in between PS2 and N64 as far as complexity, so I think it fits right where I want. I'm happy with how it came out!

Randy Becker 🕹️ Unit Down @properdev.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

I'm building the game with the intentions of being able to play the whole thing on an N64 controller. XD I ain't about to use a right stick for nothin' lol

Randy Becker 🕹️ Unit Down @properdev.bsky.social · 30/08/2026

Added camera rotation that works similar to Zelda 64, with a snap-to-front button. Also a Double Jump! Gonna work on attacks and more movement options next, wish me luck. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

We'll see how much drive I have haha. Glad you found a solution that works for you though!

Mario 64 is one of my favorite games of all time, so if I can replicate even a fraction of its greatness I'll be very happy. XD

Randy Becker 🕹️ Unit Down @properdev.bsky.social · 29/08/2026

Thankiesss! I got a bit discouraged earlier (some things I thought would be easy kind of got overwhelming lol) so means a lot to see your encouragement. ^.^'

Ok, so yeah, 3D platformers are a LOT harder to make than I gave it credit for, haha. But look! He's jumpin' around! #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev

Appreciate it! Character movement has been unique. I've made hundreds of games in all different genres and for some reason I was everything impression this would be easy. It has not been lol.
