Demo Version 0.8.0 is out! 🚀🌵 The desert planet got a little more… rocky. More details, more atmosphere, more weird purple plants. Basically, I added a ridiculous amount of rocks. And I regret nothing. 😆 #indiedev #gamedev #Unity3D #indiegame #scifi 🎮

Spent hours debugging my shader... Turns out the bug only shows up in the build and only where decals are placed. Because of course it does. 😅 #unity3d #gamedev #shadergraph #indiedev

It's been quiet for a while... 👀 I've been busy adding more details to the demo's desert planet. More rocks! More rock piles! More purple cactuses... cacti? 🌵😜 Demo v0.8.0 is coming next week! 🚀 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame #madewithunity #screenshotsaturday

❄️ Working on a new Ice Planet level! Slippery ridges, frosty caves, and lots of icy rock formations. Next step: enemy AI that feels properly icey. 🧊🤖 #game #indiedev #gamedev #followfriday #scifi #laserknights 🎮

Adding more details to the ice planet town of Frostington ❄️ (yes, I am amazing at naming things 😏). New lights, furniture, a well, house upgrades, and lots of little touches to make the world feel more alive! #IndieGame #GameDev #Unity3D #IndieDev #Gaming

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 11/06/2026

More lights! More signs! More fences! More pipes! 🔥 Rusthaven and Zak's farm just got a big visual upgrade. And yes, there are pipes everywhere now... because apparently farming requires water. Who knew? 🚜😅 #IndieGame #GameDev #IndieDev #SciFiGame #Gaming #Unity3D #WIP 🎮

What if Zelda had laser swords, grappling hooks, space pirates, evil corporations, and planets straight out of an 80s sci-fi cartoon? 🤖👽 That's Tales of the Laser Knights. #PitchYaGame #ScreenshotSaturday #indiegame #screenshots #gamedev 🎮

Small visual upgrade, big readability improvement! The old chestbox was so boring it practically camouflaged itself. 😅 Replaced it with a fancy-schmancy yellow version that actually wants to be found! 💛📦 #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #unity3d #gaming 🎮

New trailer for my sci-fi action-adventure Tales of the Laser Knights 🚀 The visuals are getting close to the quality I want for the final game. Next up: more levels, quests, bosses, puzzles, and adventures across the galaxy. 👽🤖 #gamedev #indiedev #scifi #actionadventure #laserknights 🎮

Working on the Technodrome end boss (guess the inspiration? 😏) Added more mesh details, glowing wall panels, and floor lighting. Slowly turning this giant machine into a proper final boss arena. #gamedev #indiedev #unity3d #indiegame #bossfight 🎮

Huge PowerSuit upgrades & a new enemy in the latest build! - PowerAmp equipment now visibly deploys for heavy lifting - Helmet automatically seals in zero-O2 zones - New "Electro Cloud" enemy (only vulnerable to the Electro Orb!) #gamedev #indiegame #scifi #indiegamedev #laserknights 🎮

Planet 4 is finally coming together :) Industrial sky cities. Power plants. Grapple-hook! Mysterious enemies still lurking in the shadows... Welcome to the gas giant planet in Tales of the Laser Knights #gamedev #indiegame #scifi #indiedev #gaming #laserknights

What's new in "Tales of the Laser Knights"? - added alien red moss - cleaner textures for spaceships, elevators, and machinery - slash flora - improved UI Psst... there's a hidden dungeon behind the moss. Can you find the new Obelisk? #gamedev #indiegames #scifi #laserkatana #gaming

Been working on the Temple Ruins on the jungle planet! This Indiana Jones homage has you dodging some seriously heavy rocks… rolling your way like a true adventurer. Like a rolling stone! 😀 #indiegame #gamedev #gameplay #jungle #temple #rollingstones #nature #laserknights #devlog 🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

Even UI has to be satisfying to use for players - so I changed upgrades to not show a boring Accept/Cancel dialogue - now the player has to hold the button to upgrade, which feels much more satisfying 🙂 #game #ux #scifi #gamedev #indiegame #laserknights 🎮

Dev Log from "Tales of the Laser Knights": Working on the jungle planet, adding new destructable plants (just for fun), items to collect (for upgrading the PowerSuit), new UI (because it looks better), and some of the enemies. #indiegame #gamedev #gameplay #devlog #scifi #jungle #laserknights 🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 27/04/2026

Working on the Upgrade UI ... often the most unimportant part of the game - but the old menu was so ugly, and of course, I like to work on the sci-fi style 😀🔥 #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #gameplay #holo #laserknights 🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 14/04/2026

The POWER SUIT now gives the player the ability to run, and thus traverse the world much faster 🤖😆 #game #indiegame #gamedev #gameplay #scifi #laserknights 🎮

Working on the mandatory jungle planet of my game ;) I want more stuff to be destructable.. more assets to give it a more "jungle-ish" (and also "alien-ish") feeling ... still working on enemies' diversity, and AI behaviour🤖 #indiegame #gamedev #gameplay #nature #laserknights🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Been busy with other stuff these days, so here is just some lighting update & I gave units more saturation. 🔥 #gameplay #visualeffects #lighting #indiegame #laserknights 🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 12/03/2026

Working on new levels, improving the game in general ... fixed a bug where flying units would not change their "level of height" 😆 #indiegame #gameplay #game #scifi #lasers #explosion #effect #laserknights 🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 17/02/2026

Demo Version Update! 😀🔥 Mostly new visuals - be it the new lighting & ambience in all levels, or the shadows, or the better environment textures, or all the fixes that came in between ... #gameplay #scifi #indiegame #devlog #action #effects #lighting #graphics #environment #laserknights 🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 16/01/2026

Experimenting with a new little companion for Zak - instead of giving the player an "Orb power" that is shot with every heavy attack, which feels way too overpowered - fireballs could be shot by the little Orb fella, with 30sec reload time? #indiegamedev #gamedesign #game #scifi #laserknights 🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 08/01/2026

Space Travel in my game "Tales of the Laser Knights" ... I have to focus on core game mechanics, so: no real spaceflight in the game ... maybe in part II ... "Legends of the Laser Knights" 😆 #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #laserknights #game #space #ftl 🎮

0205

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 06/01/2026

This time I am "painting roads" on the map - some people mentioned that the ground textures look too simple, so I decided to add some "Decal Splines" (go search for it on the Unity Asset Store😀 ) #indiegame #gamedev #scifi #laserknights #level #environmental 🎮

Make an Anouncement Trailer, they said ... it will be totally worth it. So I am hereby anouncing ... the Anouncement Trailer! Wow! Much Anouncement! Many notices! So much attention! 😆 #indiegames #gamedev #games #scifi #zeldalike #laser #explosion #rocket #fire #laserknights 🎮

Time Lapse video of me creating a new end boss for my game "Tales of the Laser Knights" ... if you want to support me, follow and wishlist the game .. (link in bio) Demo available if you want to try it out first 😀 #gaming #scifi #games #gameplay #endboss #timelapse #gamedevelopment #laserknights 🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 17/11/2025

Working on a new Fire Attack ... not sure if it is fun to play, since within all the action, it is kinda hard to see and/or fire :| #indiegame #game #games #zeldalike #fire #laser #explosion #rocket #scifi #laserknights 🎮

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 12/11/2025

Sandworm Movement 🐛😀 ... before, the enemy was rather boring, static, no movement at all - not much to do but hit and dash away from it. Now it behaves much more dynamic and tries to follow the player, with much better effects! #indiegame #gamedev #gamedesign #enemydesign #laserknights 🎮

0186

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 07/11/2025

Part #10: Creating a new Endboss for "Tales of the Laser Knights" I added "attack area outlines" and "kamikaze drones" to the robot ... currently way too hard to beat, so I am playing the game with "god mode" enabled 😆 #gamedev #game #indiegames #robot #scifi #endboss #laserknights 🎮

0106

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 04/11/2025

Part #9: Creating a new Endboss for "Tales of the Laser Knights" Adding a "JUMP STOMP" - after a while, the robot starts jumping really high, towards the player, and stomp him. #gamedev #game #indiegames #robot #robocop #scifi#endboss #laserknights 🎮

2165

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 31/10/2025

Part #8: Creating a new Endboss for "Tales of the Laser Knights" Added some paintwork, and a new lightning weapon, electrocuting the player and slowing him down. Still experimenting with it 😀 #gamedev #game #indiegames #robot #robocop #scifi #lightning #endboss #laserknights 🎮

0227

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 29/10/2025

Part #7: Creating a new Endboss for "Tales of the Laser Knights" Adding more and more mechanical details ... still freestyling as I have kind of a "writers block" at the moment ... More "useful" features coming soon 😀 #games #scifi #gamedev #endboss #gamedesign #laserknights #robocop 🎮

0102

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 28/10/2025

Part #6: Creating an Endboss for "Tales of the Laser Knights" Just vibing ... I do not have a "great plan" this time, just freestyling new features, weapons, or "laser eyes" :) #gaming #games #scifi #gamedev #devlog #endboss #bossdesign #gamedesign #indiegame #robocop #robot #laserknights 🎮

0206

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 24/10/2025

Part #5: Creating a new Endboss for "Tales of the Laser Knights" Setting up multiple "Health Controllers" that the player has to destroy in "the right order", e.g. the armour plates of each leg first. #indiegame #games #scifi #gamedev #devlog #endboss #bossdesign #gamedesign #laserknights 🎮

0176

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 21/10/2025

Part #4: Creating a new End Boss for "Tales of the Laser Knights" Animations, health setup, and a first "working version" that can be destroyed ... also shoots in the wrong direction ;) #endboss #scifi #robocop #robot #gameplay #devlog #indiegame #gaming #laser #laserknight #unity3d #blender 🎮

0112

Denzi @ Heat-Haze-Games @therealdenz.bsky.social · 20/10/2025

Creating a new End Boss #3 for "Tales of the Laser Knights" Adding the torso and weapons to the model... nothing final... I will detail that out later :) #endboss #scifi #robocop #robot #gameplay #devlog #indiegame #gaming #laser #laserknight #unity3d #blender 🎮
