Man I really liked Supergirl. Was so much fun. Story about a girl and her dog. Plus it had Lobo! More please.

Appreciate ya! I’m still finding my way, thanks for the encouraging words.

If my life flashes before my eyes when I die most of it will be me trying to debug some bullshit blueprint cached version of a component in Unreal Editor.

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 28/06/2026

My material conversion was fine. I had a headache with levels as the editor would crash because it was trying to load my default map on startup before it got converted. Just removed it as default map and it worked. C++ API changes took a while to fix but no refactoring required.

Project update: 1. Upgraded to Unreal 5.6 2. Worked on some tooling 3. Added platform mantle logic 4. Started work on a projectile system None of these are anything I can show at this stage. But just wanted to let you know I'm still plodding along! #gamedev #solodev #unreal

I created this account the day I learned the start-up I was working for was going bust. We were all put on gardening leave. I had loads of free time on my hands while looking for a job - almost a month where I could spend most of my day working on this game. It slowed down when I got a new job.

Hello. I made this thing while migrating this project to my new game dev machine: github.com/jw-code-pk/u... - it's my personal CLI for working with UE5 on macOS. #unreal #macos #golang

I have tired Lenovo Legion from 2020 I use for for game dev. From my last job I got a new MacBook Pro. Used to only do Python for work on it. Now, trying to get Unreal running on it - what a goddamn nightmare.

Hi! I haven’t posted in a while. Reason is I was looking for a new job. So it was a few weeks of interviews and coding challenges. I’ve made some updates to the game’s movement logic, but nothing worthy of sharing. Also started the 3rd environment. Things are still moving forward with Sentirix!

Hi! This is my game project. Sentrix: The Sentinel. It's a solo dev project using Unreal Engine 5, FMOD, Blender and GIMP. I'm a programmer which is why the art is so wonky - trying to get better! #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

Experimenting with some ideas for level geometry. I went in thinking "wizard junkyard" but I'm definitely leaning more towards "psychedelic swamp" now. #indiegame #solodev #gamedev

Let's do some coding. Want to add a zipline ala Earthworm Jim / Sonic 2. All the movement is currently based on the player controller following a spline path. I want to swap it around for this mechanic. I want to set the player position from the zipline pulley. #unreal #solodev #cpp

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

It's been a weird, soul crushing week and not a lot of time for side projects. Tried to think of something funny and bouncy. This is what I came up with: a pile of dead goblin babies. #solodev #gamedev #indiedev

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

OK. I'm gonna be RoboCop for the rest of the evening. Get these citizens back in line.

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 04/04/2026

This one is gonna lean heavy into New Junk City from Earthworm Jim, and also Chemical Plant and Hill Top from Sonic 2. Some of my fav levels ever. #solodev #indiedev #gamedev

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 02/04/2026

Grayboxing a new level. Got some ideas I want to play test and some ideas for environment. #solodev #gamedev #indiedev

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 30/03/2026

Not much new today - you know, life. Tweaked some visuals and dropped in a couple of new environment assets. #gamedev #solodev #indiegame

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

Butts, farts, noxious fumes and other particle systems. #indiedev #solodev #gamedev

Obviously you also need to ensure that the renderer's facing direction has been set to face the velocity direction. But you already knew that <3

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 29/03/2026

It took a bit of clicking around to get the sprites facing the orbit direction. If this saved anybody time: you need a "Calculate Accurate Velocity" module *after* "Rotate Around Point" and then bind this to the velocity in the renderer. Like so:

Messing around with Niagara today. Gave the Crow Boss some orbiting minions. Oh, and the bouncy mushrooms got replaced by fume releasing bouncy butts. My game, I can do what I want. #indiegame #solodev #unreal

022

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 27/03/2026

The original concept, profiles and Blender model for the Crow Boss. #solodev #indiegame #gamedev #blender

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Added some more environmental assets and new particles to the first level. #indiedev #gamedev #games

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Working on a concept for a new enemy. Not sure what to call this thing yet. #gamedev #indiegame

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 25/03/2026

Some more Warhoggery. Adding new particles and tweaked mesh a little. #gamedev #indiegame #unreal #steam

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Warhog has arrived in the engine. Got some blueprints ready, so hopefully can just make 'em fly. #gamedev #indiegame

041

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Warhog side profile. Don't want to add too much detail. Not been doing 3D models for very long. So trying to keep it basic. #indiedev #gamedev

061

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Today's mission is to get the Warhog in the game. Jump on his back and plough through waves of enemies. Don't worry, Warhog loves it. He lives for war! #indiegame #gamedev #steam #retro

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Resurrect the god, save the world. This is the mission Sentirix has undertaken. "It's a fools errand!", the lunatic Hare-Hag told him. He's been called a fool his entire life. So he's the right Sentinel for the job. Now... why is she still rattling on about bunnies and eternal life? #indiegame

These are all going in the bin. Posted here for some juicy "before/after" content. These are some of the low poly assets from the current build. #gamedev #3D #indiedev #blender

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Some very early gameplay footage from a while ago. Watch this space for more updates! #indiegame #gamedev #retro #unreal #steam

Sentirix - The Sentinel @sentirix.bsky.social · 24/03/2026

Here are some WIP characters. Rough sketches that got dropped into Blender and turned into 3D poly soup. #gamedev #3D #indiegame
