We're launching Early Access on November 6th because apparently deadlines exist. Is it done? No. Are we shipping it? Yes. There’s an open world now. Don’t ask how. Wishlist it. Or don’t. Chapter One launches either way. #jittergame

Initial tests with nets and collisions. It's running quite well; even screen-filling nets achieve 1.6ms on the Steamdeck. The core is written in C++. Next step: tear it apart and climb on it. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #godot #metroidvania #pixelart

First experiments with my new fake lights. GPU time is valuable, therefore everything is rendered in one pass and baked with the background tilemap. It's just a test, so this looks a bit rushed. #gamedev #metroidvania #indiegame #pixelart #solodev

Every #Metroidvania should have an energy system.⚡ Game-wide energy network system implemented. It also supports feeds. I think this will allow for the implementation of many nice puzzle situations in the game. #gamedev #indiegame

The time has come, I'm using a self-modified #Godot engine. Maximum freedom backfires with maximum confusion during the build process.

After defining all areas and sectors, I begin by roughly setting the sub-rooms of the sectors. A lot will change, but it's important to have a plan first. It forms the basis for setting up rooms in my room editor add-on in the engine. #gamedev #solodev #metroidvania #indiegame #schweiz

I am currently experimenting with different approaches to creating tilesets. It's a challenge. But I am clearly moving away from the approach of making perfect seamless tiles, prefer something rougher and more unpolished. #indiedev #solodev #pixelart #metroidvania #gamedev #gamedesign #switzerland

#Godot makes it really easy. With two clicks, I can convert a sprite into a simple quad mesh with (8x8 subdivided), add a wobble vertex shader, and I have exactly what I wanted. #gamedev

Surface glitter effect for free. The water surface line is too thin and therefore breaks. #gamedev #steamdeck

Mazed @rakanu.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

When I use the #SteamDeck, I don't like it when the fan is roaring. I've learned that the problem is often not necessarily the GPU usage, but the CPU. It gets very hot even at 30% load, while the GPU can handle 60% and more load without the fan getting loud. #gamedev

Mazed @rakanu.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

Regarding #Godot, #C++ #GDExtension and #Steamdeck: It causes significantly fewer problems to run the #Linux build directly on the steamdeck. Setting it up can be time-consuming, but in the end you can create a terminal script that does everything in one go. #gamedev

Mazed @rakanu.bsky.social · 03/02/2026

What we know as a console was essentially born in the 1970s as the Unix Shell. Today, in the year 2026, I still have to enter cryptic commands into it. I wonder why.

Mazed @rakanu.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

I played around a bit with C++ and GDExtension. Outsourcing my water simulation routines resulted in a 4x performance improvement, so it was worth it. #gamedev #godot

Mazed @rakanu.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

Initial tests on the Steam Deck. Lighting and effects are expensive, so I really want to make the performance suitable for handheld use and without the fan roaring. However, we live in 2026, it won't be an OpenGL game, I will allow a few special effects gimmicks. 😜 #gamedev #steamdeck #metroidvania

Mazed @rakanu.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Creating test rooms and a few enemies is nothing compared to game design, which involves creating the world, rooms, challenges, connections, etc. I'm now on page 20.

I can't help myself. 😌 But I really wanted to create a tearing of the net.Still real-time polygons, so not suitable for mass use in level design. But a few per screen are absolutely no problem. #indiegame #metroidvania #pixelart #gamedev #solodev #schweiz #godot

Today I experimented a lot with various effects and methods in Line2D. 😅Of course, all of this looks rather chaotic, and none of it is final. But I'm looking forward to integrating all of this into the gameplay. #gamedev #godot #pixelart #platformer #metroidvania #scifi #solodev #schweiz

Mazed @rakanu.bsky.social · 02/01/2026

This morning I created a node to create hanging tendrils. Looks quite okay. Freely configurable in the editor, including idle animation and collision effect, gravity, number of points, etc. Based on Line2D and is quite performant despite using #GDScript for realtime point calc. #gamedev #godot

1101

Mazed @rakanu.bsky.social · 01/01/2026

Yes yes, it still looks really ugly, but the procedurally generated tentacles (Line2D ) already look okay. No shaders are used; the polygon points are calculated by the GDScript. Still performs sufficiently. Next step: make it beautiful B) #gamedev #indiegame #metroidvania #solodev #godot #scifi
