Block Horizon is my Minecraft SMP for Java and Bedrock players, serving both as a place to play and a showcase of my Minecraft server plugins. If you play Minecraft, feel free to check it out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=dHXG... #minecraft #minecraftsmp

Minecraft plugins dev is a hobby I enjoy. I use everything I create. 2700+ downloads on Modrinth, seeing others enjoy what I make is great! Effect Monitor was my first mod, away from server plugins. You can check out my modrinth profile shantek.co/modrinth #minecraft #minecraftplugin #minecraftmod

Blocking out how the unlockable areas of the level will work in Superstore Rush. Starting with the basic groceries then unlocking clothing and then expanding the larger portion of the shop. #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #gaming #steam #steamgame

Some models can be a little tricky to squish down into a purchase overlay model for the ground and still give an idea of what they actually are. These turned out pretty good! Wishlist my free game on steam @ buff.ly/3X3Pjjf #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiegame #gaming #steam #steamgame

Thanks! And yep nothing like spending 10 hours workings working on something for them to say is that all you've done? 😆

My kids are my biggest critics for these first 2 games. Making a couple of games for fun and the experience, but also things they'd enjoy playing themselves.

Sure do. I'm getting close to having Superstore Rush wrapped up store.steampowered.com/app/1473780/.... Then I'll be using some of the game mechanics for a farm sim style game. I've got a project I've worked on, on and off for a few years so I'm hoping to bring that back to life after these 2.

Make it your year, you got this! But in all seriousness, I totally get it. That was a big reason for me moving to a smaller project, something I felt I could easily achieve this year to build up some momentum and get something out the door. So far so good!

As a game dev or aspiring game dev, what goals do you have for yourself this year? For me, I want to bring at least 2 of my small ideas to life and have them both published by the end of the year! #gamedev #indiegamedev #indiedev

Shelves in Superstore Rush start with a shelf model. Stock models are then broken into 6 states, each with less stock. A flat model is created for the ground to unlock the shelf. Stay tuned for another #devlog soon! #gamedev #blender #steamgame #steam #indiegame #freegame

Finished adding fires to Superstore Rush, to add to the already existing spills. Still planning a few more hazards. Haze some ideas for what you'd want to see in the store? I'd love to hear it! You can wishlist the game on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/1473780/... #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev

Loving the progress of Superstore Rush, a game I started making for my kids! Planning a few more fridge/freezer shelf types, then an update to make it less point and clicky. You can check out the current dev web build here www.shantek.io/games/supers... #indiedev #indiegame #gamedev

Always so satisfying when something you've been stuck on for a while and almost given up on actually works! Anonymous cloud sync and a cloud sync key that allows you to sync progress between devices or restore your game progress. No personal info needed! #indiedev #gamedev

First quick lighting pass of the game, before I start on shop expansions. Just to spruce things up a little before doing a proper lighting pass, so I'm not staring at a dull scene all the time #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame

Working on a Supermarket mini game for my kids (Superstore Rush). Time to start prepping some more models and the various shelf states. Uploaded a super early dev build on my website with some basic game mechanics finished www.shantek.io/games/supers... #gamedev #indiedev

It's so easy to forget why you started making games. Devs need an income, but seeing my kids play games with an ad or IAP prompt every 30 seconds is frustrating. I love #gamedev and am making a game that my kids want, for my kids. If others get joy from it, even better. They're my motivation!
