A guard post tower for our exterior walls/gates. Getting an optimized workflow down to speed up modeling has been a great experience. This will be imported tomorrow, then on to more assets. #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #b3d #blender #simulator #hardsurface #3dmodeling #industrial

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Quick look at exterior asset progress, everything feels so mellow at night. After some more structure props for this scene are wrapped up, I will get back to working on new mob types and features, such as airborne enemies, etc. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

Spent the day modeling this elaborate industrial catwalk system. Added an HVAC with interior ductwork on the ceiling too, and started exterior assets. This was fun to design, maintenance and access in mind for world building. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #simulator #b3d #blender

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 16/05/2026

Modeling some exterior assets - small gate security structure. Figured I would share this for #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedev #blender #b3d #gamedevelopment #simulator

0244

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 12/05/2026

New frame added - JAWOON - high speed with low torque, so drifting is constant but fast. Popping flares is so satisfying, they linger and slowly fall, the fuse burning has a pleasant effect and they are working as expected. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 09/05/2026

Happy #screenshotsaturday Modeling a new HTAF frame set before heading back to the hangar scene and mobs. How do you feel about car features on mechs? I can't wait to crunch more on assets. #mecha #mech #simulator #blender #b3d #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #gamedevelopment #godot

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Quick update, I added a bunker variant and a structure to initialize airborne enemies - (upcoming mobs). Will show off flare action soon, the game runs SMOOTH and I'm happy about that. There are multiple mob spawners active. #mecha #mech #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 28/04/2026

Finished up the major props for the main hangar building and rooms. Sneak peak to give an idea of the new environment, we will have other buildings and an exterior down the road to seamlessly navigate w/ NPCs. Tour video soon. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Hello, Finishing up a few more assets, I may have gotten out of hand with this industrial socket array. I'll more than likely do a walk-through tour of the new mech hangar sometime this week. "(っ- ‸ - ς)ᶻ 𝗓 𐰁 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #simulator #blender #3dmodeling #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 22/04/2026

Spending some time off modeling new props - intercom phones that will be accompanied by mounted microphones in the hangar interior. #blender #3dmodeling #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

0235

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 20/04/2026

Quick update, Modeling more props for each room, been enjoying modeling day-to-day utilities. I'll get back to more mech oriented assets soon, this revised hangar is serving as a nice detox. Things are running smoothly. #blender #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment #3dmodeling

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 19/04/2026

Quick update, Still alive, modeling more assets for the revised hangar scene. Behold some comfortable roomy shower stalls. A lot has changed in our walk-around environment, I'll be showing the changes soon. #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #blender #3dmodeling #simulator #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

Quick update, Remodeling the hangar to be more utilitarian and cozy with a two story HQ, housing a command room, bathroom, showers, and storage We're gonna be in the boonies, and we will be able to go outside soon #mecha #mech #simulator #blender #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Quick update, Added new mob "SHAMSHIR", an armored car with dual AA guns. Drafting some designs for new frame parts, weapons, and map props. There's a lot to do in the current pipeline ૮(𖦹﹏𖦹;)ა #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

Good evening, Importing and testing a new armored car mob, it was a lot of fun experimenting and modeling this asset I'll be focusing on more parts afterwards and trying to crunch some more structures for the map #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #blender #gamedev #vehicle #simulator #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 22/03/2026

#screenshotsaturday #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev Started setting up key features for a detailed grid map. Indications for structures/mob spawners and player tracking. This will be used to place down markers and utilize support options later.

0226

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 21/03/2026

Quick update, New multi-rocket mob "BEARCAT" added. I would like to upload a video this weekend showing the new mechanics and a general rundown of the existing features. Any questions are welcome. #mech #mecha #simulator #godot #vehicle #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 18/03/2026

Quick update, Added burning scrap piles with high rising smoke for destroyed mobs that we can see over a distance, will look great over tree lines and terrain. Tell me what you love about mecha. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

Quick update, Testing zone cosmetic adjustments for a proper simulation vibe. Watching the mobs scoot around non-hostile feels like being at an aquarium, except you can't touch the stingrays. #mecha #mech #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #godot #gamedev #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 15/03/2026

Mech drifting is sick. We're still grounded in terms of speed as this is indeed a simulator, but sliding around cover and corners is crazy fun in this new frame set. Feels great in first person too ദ്ദി ˉ͈̀꒳ˉ͈́ )✧ #screenshotsaturday #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 14/03/2026

Happy #screenshotsaturday #mechamarch Importing a new frame set - "DINGO", which will serve as a good reference point for speed moving forward. Mechanics will be shown off soon, ideally this weekend. #mecha #mech #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #blender #gamedevelopment #godot

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 10/03/2026

Quick update, Improved mob behaviors - more aggressive and accurate. Flying is still the "safest" (yet most expensive) way to maneuver around. Creating another frame set before focusing on map mechanics. #mecha #mech #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #godot #solodev #gamedev #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 05/03/2026

Added more tree variety with random density population values. Picking on a SAM trailer mob that can't fire unless we're up in the air by a good margin. New frame set parts this weekend. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #gamedevelopment #procedural

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 01/03/2026

Quick update, I'm in love with this project, vehicle mobs are acting great, revising prop generation for the map - better performance. LEGACY frames are still fun, new assets, features, and mechanics to come. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Happy Friday, Importing new mobs this weekend, these new enemies will be more precise and threatening. Mech style mobs will be farther down the line but are absolutely planned - I have so many ideas. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #blender #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 25/02/2026

Quick look at a new enemy mob. Setting up vehicles that will give our mech a harder time both in the air and on the ground, so we'll have to tread more lightly. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #blender #gamedev #gamedevelopment

0202

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 24/02/2026

Added some more useful data to the UI. New mobs are planned for this week, then more HTAF parts. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedevelopment #godot

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

Mob spawners work great, importing another structure before getting back to other assets. Since the "LEGACY" leg parts do not have the ability to skate, I'll add a tuner bonus when equipped, once that has been added for balance. #mecha #mech #simulator #indiedev #solodev #indiegame #gamedev #godot

0254

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Modeling additional structure assets to serve as points of interest - these also function as mob spawners. Mob vehicles are performing great on the map and there will be more enemy variety soon. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #simulator #blender #gamedev #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Quick update, We can now extend our rollers and skate around, there's some drift behavior too which is really satisfying. I'll upload some clips soon. Focusing on more mob related features this week. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #godot #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Late post, Setting up the mobility for the HTAFs to skate around. The (newer) legs will have built-in rollers moving forward, designs will vary for the track layouts. Changing gears and finishing things up __φ(．．) #mecha #mech #simulator #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 16/02/2026

Quick look at the first "TYPE-II" HTAF frame set - "HERON", the last screenshot probably makes it obvious what upcoming mechanic is being added soon This will massively expand gameplay and is essential #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #godot #gamedevelopment #blender

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 10/02/2026

Spending the evening relaxing and fixing a few things for the generated map. Not sure why exported GIFs are so choppy, the game runs smoothly. What do you love about mechs? #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #godot #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Quick look at the final "LEGACY" frame set, before we move onto more ambitious parts. This HTAF set "TANUKI" is the second weapon-arm frame and fires single shot rockets. Remember, arms can be asymmetrical, if desired. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #godot

0214

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 05/02/2026

Added range tracking data, detailed mini-map, operation time indicator, and adjusted other UI elements. Additional touch ups are underway for the interface. Focusing on redoing some structures this week for the generated map. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #godot #solodev

0325

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 31/01/2026

The last "legacy" frame is being added and tested. I'm feeling better that the scaffolding overhaul is more fitting for the hangar interior. Focusing on QOL in the meantime, before crunching the BIG upcoming changes. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #gamedev #godot #mech #mecha #simulator #blender

0221

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 29/01/2026

The HUD is feeling more utilitarian than before, some QOL adjustments were made and played around on the map this evening to unwind. I have some big additions planned (´ε｀；) parts and mechanics. Talk to me about mecha. #mecha #mech #simulator #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #godot

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 28/01/2026

Quick update, Added a compass system for the HUD which has been fun to play around with and also proper long vapor trails for missiles, which I'll be showing off later after some assets are finished. I hope you all love mecha. #indiegame #indiedev #solodev #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev

0243

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 25/01/2026

Some QOL touch ups have been addressed today. I may have revised the entire catwalk layout for the hangar so we can actually navigate properly, much more aesthetically pleasing than before. #screenshotsaturday #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #blender #gamedev #3dmodeling #gamedevelopment #simulator

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 17/01/2026

Happy Saturday, Finishing up the second mobile mob - testing went smooth with the first land vehicle from before. This stubby armored vehicle is being imported tonight. May upload a video soon. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #solodev #blender #simulator #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 13/01/2026

Imagine detoxing after a mission in the break area while one of your fellow mech pilots is referencing the strategy guide. I love making props that add life to the hangar but I will focus more on mobs and upcoming mechanics. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame #indiedev #godot #simulator #gamedevelopment

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 11/01/2026

Modeling some props for the future - there will be mini-games played on this console farther into development. Inspired by old PC Engines and other consoles. The controllers and wireless adapters will be added too. #gamedev #blender #gamedevelopment #solodev #indiedev #indiegame #simulator #godot

ROT_dev @rot-dev.bsky.social · 10/12/2025

Quick update - added more lock-on missiles and auto seeking back weapons. Creating some more parts/assets before making a big move to focus on more advanced mobs - testing zone could use a makeover. Thank you for the support. #mecha #mech #simulator #godot #gamedev #solodev #indiedev #indiegame
