hopefully the running games genre is still alive even if only on mobile

accidentally made satanic water, not 100% sure what's causing it but I have a feeling I'll lose this forever once the bug is fixed

maybe physics in video games is all about hacking things until they look almost right #gamedev #indiedev

experimented with minimalist color palette for a bit to minimize the amount of work (environment, models etc) but I think it's better to preserve skin color still, although the retro vibe is interesting #gamedev #indiedev

benefits of being able to adjust chest size: characters can now have motherly/queenly aura unlike before (only using one mesh base right now and don't want to pay for anymore models) #gamedev #indiedev

I used shader and a lot of maths to get this done, and I showed it to a friend and he told me about just interpolating between two meshes instead. Probably a better solution, except I didn't want to touch blender or pay anyone yet for this, and maths is free #gamedev #indiedev

clip from a month or so back, testing obstacles, even though I don't really know if they make the game more or less fun #gamedev #indiedev

prototype from a while back when I was trying out a game where you can only shoot forward (inspired by a browser game) and was curious how it'd feel with a 3D perspective. Feels weird not being able to shoot sideways though #gamedev #indiedev

milk :) the mesh for the milk part inside was made with blender's shrinkwrap and then i used a vertex shader to adjust the top based on fill %. for some reason the blender part was 10x harder than writing the shader

has any games done this - let users write in crowdsourced localizations, and collate it in a central server? trying to think of ways this can go wrong #gamedev #indiedev

now I just need to design a gimmick for each of my humanoid character designs and give them each a weapon, and voila, a finished game #gamedev #indiedev

previously I didn't make the torso thicker during chibification, turns out that was key to make it look better #gamedev #indiedev

actually used my custom level editor to make this, it's got janky controls but good enough to make zany environments like these #gamedev #indiedev
