I'm making a 3D collectathon platformer where the things you need to collect creatures who don't want to be caught! A collection of some of the parts I've worked on in the last few days:

Visible tools! They get selectively hidden during certain actions cause otherwise they look strange 😅 #GameDev #GodotEngine #Godot

I'm usually pretty shite at Overwatch but I'm proud of this lifesaving Mei Wall

Animation showcase of my player character. Still some work to do but I'm pretty happy with the overall setup! Still can't get over his ear wiggles! #godot #gamedev #lowpoly #3Dplatformer

Need to cross a big gap? Control the bouncy goo and yourself at the same time! #Godot #gamedev

Shaders done, a quick UV index to swap between sprites. Guess I'm animating in-engine instead of in Blender. Added SpringBoneSimulator3D to the hair and ears too #godot #gamedev

Me: wow CRANK was such an intense party song, I'm glad it was only one song though Slayyyter:

New Devlog! Improving AI behaviours, Player interactions, and level blockout. #godot #gamedev

Modelling I'm kinda comfortable with. Texturing and UV unwrapping? Ehhhhhhhh.... #blender #lowpoly #gamedev

Goal is for those colours on its body to be shifting and pearlescent. I think that'd look cool.

Sharing a character concept for my game Brought to life by the extremely talented dogvomitco (Instagram or Twitter) #gamedev #godot #conceptart

An orc character in a dynamic leaping pose. He has bright green skin, yellow gloves and a yellow hooded tank top, purple mohawk and bright orange high Vis pants with reflective stripes on them

"game devs should post more of the process! I never see the early stages of a game" That's cause early content like blockouts and systems deep dives drives like zero engagement. Makes sense, juicy gameplay and flashy graphics obviously catch the eye. My last post on Reddit got 3 upvotes

Gameplay showcase - hunt down and capture escaped creatures. They obviously don't wanna get caught! Music is from @systemst91.bsky.social this time. I really like their work #gamedev #godot #godotengine

Slowly but surely getting to something like an actual gameplay loop here #godot #gamedev

Made something of an attempt to recreate the paintbrush weapon from Splatoon. Using it to clean up ink left by enemies is pretty fun.

5 years ago I was playing with the idea of making an Ape Escape style platformer in Game Builder Garage hehe

Right, now they can throw ink globs at you while being chased. Gotta be quick on your feet to avoid them! #Godot #gamedev

I'm pretty happy overall with my rating in this jam. I scored higher in the last one I did in 2024, but I definitely polished that one more. This was a fun dive into incremental/clicker game design though!

GMTK Game Jam game is coming together... got some gameplay going, I think I can expand on it a little before setting out a roadmap for art/polish

The current way I'm making the things you chase interesting is something I was prototyping in my first released game, Rat Rescue. Rats would flee to a predefined loop. I ultimately ended up scrapping this as it would have required hand-pathing all corners.

Lerp'd some values so the pitch change isn't as jarring...

Productive day so far getting a radar up and running. It's something I've already done in 2D ages ago so implementing included going over some old old code 🙈 #godot #gamedev #3dplatformer
