I didn't know that Beyond Gravity had a bit of influence on you, that's amazing to hear. Thanks for sharing that, made my day :) I loved Knights and Bikes that you worked on, so that's how I started following you I think and now I'm looking forward to Mythmatch! Played the demo and it looks cool!

Finally reached 1000 wishlist milestone for Ball King Jam! 🥳🏀 I was not sure this would be possible when I started. After all, sport-themed games are a hard sell on Steam, but it is possible :) Thanks everyone who wishlisted!

yes. Here's a comment I received on Spooky Bonus: "I wish I could express to you how awesome this simple game is My grandmother passed away over a year ago and I still look at her steam page to conjure up some good memories. This is her #1 most-played game of all time at 917.9 hours."

I have shared this story, this thread, before - but I think given the state of the world, it's worth telling once again. Maybe it can help, especially if like me, you make art, and you wonder what the use of all of it is right now.

The same here, I did couple of mobile games but the UI was never the bottleneck when it comes to performance. Looking into it bit more it looks like you would have to be moving thousands of ui elements to see any impact.

Vlad @qwiboo.bsky.social · 14/03/2025

There was post mentioning that "you shouldn't put all your UI into one canvas in Unity". I always have all my UI screens under one Canvas in separate game objects that I turn on/off - never experienced issues. Would love to know what others are doing? learn.unity.com/tutorial/opt... #gamedev #unity

It's somehow getting WORSE! Should I just delete the game? 🫥

Yeah, my game is definitely not possessed by some evil spirit.. 🧿 #gamedev

Some 3d models I made for my game Ball King Jam in Blender. #blender #gamedev

Vlad @qwiboo.bsky.social · 18/02/2025

I keep making funny typo when writing the name of my game, instead of Ball King Jam, I write Ball King HAM. I wonder what is my subconsciousness trying to tell me 😂

This is my indie game Ball King Jam, and you can find it on Steam (link in bio). It’ll be out later this year hopefully. 🏀 You can see different game modes in the video. Thanks everyone ❤️ #gamedev #indiegames #ballislife

And after modeling some more 3d props in Blender and endless tweaks I ended up with the finished level. Hope you liked this look into how things are done in games! 😉 #indiedev

Vlad @qwiboo.bsky.social · 09/02/2025

There are many different game modes in Ball King Jam, here is a small preview of three of them.. first is classic mode, middle one is PvP and last one is 3-point contest. Please give the game a wishlist (link in bio) if it looks interesting - it helps a lot!🙏 #screenshotsaturday #indiegame

Thank you! I'm working hard to have demo out soon, so you will be able to try it out ;)

My characters finally have fingers! Only took 2 years 😂 #gamedev #gameart

two 3d characters from basketball game, one with very simple hand and the other with more detailed hand with fingers

Vlad @qwiboo.bsky.social · 28/01/2025

After I have the concept art, I can start building the 3d models and textures. I use Blender to do the models and then export to fbx and load it up in Unity. Then I keep iterating and tweaking things over and over :) Here is what I have after few hours of work.. #blender #gameart

Vlad @qwiboo.bsky.social · 27/01/2025

In the next step I draw over the screenshot to figure out the mood and colors for the scene. While drawing I also get ideas about other props that could be in the scene. This does not need to be too detailed, as I will have to model and texture all of this in Blender and Photoshop #indiedev #gamedev

Vlad @qwiboo.bsky.social · 26/01/2025

Start of a new court design for my game! I started with laying out the general shapes and sizes of the play area, camera position, etc., before worrying about any details. I'll be posting my progress until the final stage, so if this interests you follow for more ;) #leveldesign

Vlad @qwiboo.bsky.social · 25/01/2025

Thanks for all the info. I was wondering how do you get around the problem that people don't have fixed public IPs so peer-to-peer doesn't always work, and looks like Steamworks can be used to tunnel the connection?

Vlad @qwiboo.bsky.social · 24/01/2025

I don’t know much about Godot, is the multiplayer stuff free or how does it work? Do you have to get your own server or is it just peer to peer?
