Small update to the design for our player character! Thoughts? #indiegame #indiegamedev #godotengine

Two pixel art clowns. The left is the old design, the right is the new. The new design is slightly larger.

Now we need temperature shock. If the delta of the current and target temperature is, say, >80, and the object is fragile (ceramic, glass, plastic, types of metal) MAKE IT EXPLODE!!

It's literally the best engine for indies right now (and arguably A and AA too) and I cannot be convinced otherwise. I could (and have in the past) talk at length about everything I love about it.

This is amazing, the dynamic music volume gives major Zelda vibes

And if you wanna stay safe with it, you can use object.has_method("method_name"), or turn everything into decoupled components like a mad person (me)

Spent 5 hours refactoring the dialogue system. Dialogue can now just be written as plain-text either in the CSV or Excel sheet. Automatically grabs translation strings, character portraits, voices etc. With temp caching too for ✨performance✨ It's 2am I'm going to bed blehh #IndieGameDev #GodotEngine

$Excerpt from the localisation Excel sheet: DIALOGUE_test0 -> Hello! DIALOGUE_test1 -> Neutral {REDACTED}: [color=red]… DIALOGUE_test2 -> Angry {REDACTED}: [speed=100]I am [color=red]RED[/color] because I'm[wait=0.5][speed=2][color=red][shake] angry… DIALOGUE_test3 -> Neutral {REDACTED}: [sound=PLACEHOLDER_family_guy.wav,0.5,2]I am expositioning$

Gonna post more about it eventually, and definitely give it its own BlueSky account. But we're making a cool game about clowns. So you should get hyped for that :3

Bit late on this oops. Finished my 2nd year of uni last Friday (Yay!) Made two narrative games; one solo and one as a group. Both in Unity, both were a pain, both were not great but we move on. Got big stuff planned for the next year, me and a friend from my course are starting our own games studio!

Pixel - GameDev @pxlheart.co.uk · 07/05/2026

Hey I know I'm an Internet stranger but just throwing this out there, I wouldn't mind teaching you bits of the engine if you'd like! I've been using 4.x for about 2 years and actually teach a class to a group of kids sometimes. Even if it's just a random hiccup somewhere, feel free to message me!

Errhmm ackshually 🤓 It comes as an SVG ☝️

Also, could be interesting to try it on the vertex displacement. To get actual volumetric spikes of distortion :]

Complete with the intro scene, 1 starter level, 1 cinematic, 3 original tracks, and the tears of me who had to fix a number of last minute bugs :')

Semester 2 group project prototype demo complete, after much crashing out. Now to work on other things for a bit before turning this into a full game. Blehh #indiegamedev #gamedev #MadeWithUnity #lowpoly #retro

Main menu of the game project "Kryos", by Kryos Krew. 2 buttons are labelled "PLAY" and "QUIT", with a Tarot card collage in the background, surrounded by fog and particles.

Starting room of the game; the protagonist's filthy bedroom. Trash, pizza slices, and pizza boxes is/are scattered everywhere. A UI element at the bottom denotes the empty inventory, and another in the bottom right displays the current objective/tasks.

First cinematic of the game. A sleazy job recruiter "Kenneth" asks "Would this face ever deceive you?"

His face really looks like it would deceive you.

The first "puzzle" of the game, where the player is tasked with flipping the switches on a breaker to power up the building.

You may have already accounted for this, but for big enough distances you're gonna come across floating point errors. Negligible for most players but I know for a fact someone's gonna see how far they can go lmao. Instead of just the zones, you could move the entire map and player backwards to fix.

Been over a year on BlueSky, new intro time! Hi I'm Pixel or PxlHeart! I'm a #gamedev Ulster University student in #Unity, and a hobbyist/educator in #GodotEngine. I'm half-Filipino, half-Irish and 99.9% queer [certifcation needed] Stick around and see what antics I get up to. I love you mmmwah :3

That, or make the flow channel thinner and loop back around

Absolutely need this as a time display. Like every minute it changes the flow field to shape out the numbers while the particles move into place

This is really cool, but could I ask why you opted for using .cfg and ConfigFile? Rather than .save and a generic FileAccess with some JSON? Curious because I've heard differing opinions on which is better for a save game specifically.
