WIP; KR-AE50 revolver, winch/grappling hook, reload+fire animations Still lots of improvements to make on this stuff, but it's a good base line #indiedev #gamedev #fps #6dof #godot #customlighting #shaders

working on a custom star shader Left: normal amount of stars Right: 5 million stars There's a noticeable FPS drop with 5 million, but it's still playable on an M4 Mac Mini base model Godot's multimesh + a custom shader is great! #indiedev #gamedev #godot #shaders #6dof #fps

mostly finished with the default object lighting shader, will leave it for now to focus on other things finally ive spent weeks studying shaders, shader-related math, etc and its paid off in so many ways #indiedev #gamedev #godot #shaders #lighting #customlighting NO AI USED EVER ON MY PROJECTS

Some more work on the custom lighting shader, starting to become pleased with how it looks, probably going to work on some models next to refine it further #indiegame #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #fps #6dof #space #godot #shaders #lighting

Moving objects around is starting to feel pretty nice, now when you pick up an object, its treated as extremely light and has a hard time moving heavy objects This will be useful for puzzles where stacking objects is involved #indiegame #physics #puzzle #coop #multiplayer #godot #netcode #game

Physics are starting to feel smooth, only a couple points of jitter to improve after some testing with a friend across the country #indiegame #puzzle #physics #coop #multiplayer #netcode #godot #alpha

messing around with physics object interactions, starting to feel kind of smooth #indiedev #netcode #physics #puzzle #godot

forgot how fun netcode was to work on until i started this new project #gamedev #netcode #multiplayer #godot #physics #puzzle

id say performance is getting pretty good (m4 base mac mini, 130 enemies i accidentally spawned due to a bug all shooting) #indiegame #gamedev #godot #roguelike #space #survivor #bullethell

Weapon missions activate when standing in them for a short period of time, spinning their sword icons around when the timer ticks down Completely unfinished+unpolished, but the POC is here, will show off when the actual missions are working #gamedev #godot #roguelike #space #game

Asteroids are now batched and more plentiful, makes the movement feel a lot better #indiegame #gamedev #godot #space #roguelite #bullethell #survivorslike #roguelike

the new cloud system being completely dynamic will lend itself well to the weather system i plan to have in the future #indiegame #gamedev #godot #alpha #shader #shaders #clouds #sky #weather #space #roguelike #roguelite

thinking i might not need to do much to these clouds beyond the basics! Looks great haha #indiedev #gamedev #roguelike #godot #alpha #shader #clouds #space #planet

Lots of work on different things in my game this week Really liking how some things are taking shape. Working specifically on death states for enemies at the moment (shown here) #gamedev #indiedev #roguelike #godot #bullethell

lots of changes to make flying flying around feel better - space dust - FOV changes when speeding up/down - Tighter camera overall - etc #indiedev #gamedev #space #godot #roguelike #roguelite #bullethell #sv
