Don’t worry, I won’t report you to the internet police.

It was Blender's interface and 1000 buttons. Tinkercad is made for children, and my brain is child sized, so it felt intuitive. I fully cracked it a few months ago and said "THAT'S IT, I'm forcing my brain to accept I have to learn something". Technology has cooked my attention span....

BEHOLD! I KIND OF LEARNT BLENDER!! It's taken years to wean myself off Tinkercad, but I finally did it. My UI overhaul is almost complete. I've gone from flat icons to super cool pre-rendered CnC style UI. #gamedev #godot #scifigames #strategygames #boardgame #whoops3socks

I'm super excited to show off our fully textured ships! Our artist has done an amazing job turning board game miniatures into amazing in game ships. Check out his portfolio: www.artstation.com/grubber #gamedev #godot #scifigames #strategygames #screenshotsaturday #daymare

Bloody hell that is so colourful. It is like healing balm to this tired old soul.

WHOA that's so cool! I thought I was the only one who remembered net storm 😂

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

This wouldn't happen to be riffing off NetStorm: Islands at War would it? If so, that is super cool.

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Ha thats cool. I remember it being fun as a kid. I'm assuming it hasn't aged well... ...but then again who has?? 🫥

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

Dude, you just fired dormant synapses in my brain that haven't been fired for about 2 decades 😂😂

Mothership shields are now working and react what players set their energy levels to. That way you can glance and see how much an opponent has buffed their ships before engaging. #gamedev #godot #scifigames #strategygames #screenshotsaturday #timehealsallballoons

NEW: 3D nebula, wormholes and new planet textures! Planet shader came from FORGE3D's Unity planet pack and it was made it work [poorly] with Godot. Nebula and wormhole shader came from godotshaders.com #gamedev #godot #scifigames #strategygames #screenshotsaturday #fireantpie

I’m in the same boat as you with this! Look into putting that note into the body of the store page instead of the disclosure area. Just the fact that you have a disclosure at all is allegedly enough to cause sales to fall (even tho you’re not using AI for art). It’s worth a double check anyway

110

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 29/07/2026

You probably don't need an AI disclosure if you've only used AI for code. Steam changed their rules to define AI as only player facing content, so art, writing, sounds etc.

The first test was my wife saying "that looks confusing" 😂 I'm not convinced I've got the selection flow down just yet. I'll find out when I playtest on some real people (my wife isn't a real person)

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

It's been SO much fun finally working on visuals. Just updated: hex outlines, planet ownership, selection markers and 3d asteroids. #gamedev #godot #scifigames #strategygames #parrotsoup

I hit a massive milestone, all 59 unique action cards are now functionally working! There's still so much cleaning up to do, plus there's no animations...but it's a massive hurdle to clear. "Good work me!" ... "Thanks me!!" 🫸🏻💥🫷🏻 #gamedev #godot #scifigames #strategygames #custardslippers

0103

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 05/05/2026

A momentous occasion! Every single passive tech ability from the board game is now functional. That's a total of 96 technologies I had to meticulously test. Now to make over 80 action cards! #gamedev #godot #scifigames #strategygames #sonicthehedghogbeartrap

051

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 28/03/2026

We got cards! The game now tracks the players hand and lets them buy and sell action cards. Also in the screenshot: new borders and menu icons. I need to do a full UI overhaul but I'm lazy. #gamedev #godot #leftshoewarehouse

042

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 28/02/2026

Added the Pirate Base, Wandering Space Whale, Black holes and neutron stars. I've almost got all the board game content in here...now I just have to get the darn things work. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #frogmassage

072

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 21/02/2026

I made a thing! A little player panel to track who's turn it is and what resources everyone has. Alright I'm bored of game mechanics, time see if I can get this working in real multiplayer. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #kirbyeatingdisorder

062

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 01/02/2026

I spent a long time figuring out the best way to display buffs to players. I settled on this context window that's split into passive an active abilities. I can't wait for playtesters to be like "don't know what's happening this system sucks" 😭 #gamedev #indiedev #godot #explosions4kids

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 12/01/2026

The control panel is connected! Move your energy in and out of systems just like the board game. The UI is still rough looking but, it works. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #screenshotwhateverdayIwant

Hello, yes this is the void, how may I direct your call?

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 03/01/2026

I overhauled all the tech tree buttons to be their own scene and set them up with custom states. Does anyone else prefer doing that over using the built in button nodes? #gamedev #indiedev #godot #bonelesschicken

Mothership dev log: Got multi-ship attack working with a break down behind the scenes to show who damaged what, plus a log that will output somewhere. Next step, producing a Game Awards ad for next year. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #ballooningdisasters

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 11/12/2025

To all you peeps posting "just make it exist, you can make it look good later"...thank you! It helped me stop obsessing over this movement radius graphic. It is now future me's problem (that guy is a real sucker). #gamedev #indiedev #godot #onearmjuggling

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 04/12/2025

See that red Mothership in the top left corner? That poor ship has been killed over and over again in the pursuit of perfecting the combat resolver. It's stuck in an 'Edge of Tomorrow' nightmare it can't escape from... #gamedev #indiedev #godot #pregnantpencil

082

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 27/11/2025

I've spent an unholy amount of time getting the tech tree working (added the board game version for context). Trying to keep things crisp at any resolution, plus scaleable is hard and I haven't even started trying to code the damn thing together. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #apesandwiches

074

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

Thanks! The UI is the most fun part I reckon 😂

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 15/11/2025

Mothership dev log: Spent time picking new fonts, hooking up UI elements and testing different BG's. I'm finding video game dev is spending 90% of your time advancing one tiny feature forward (compared to board game dev) #gamedev #indiedev #godot #clockbashing

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 02/11/2025

Mothership dev log: We now have a map maker! Custom maps was a huge part of the board game, so it was essential that it's included in the digital version. I can't wait to see maps on the steam workshop with penis' drawn from asteroids. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #gianttoesydrome

073

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

Mothership dev log: We got planets and we got a UI. I'm very slowly getting my head around Godot's anchor system (it feels like my head is being dragged across broken glass). #gamedev #indiedev #godot #extralactosemilk

0105

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 23/10/2025

I got the ships to face the right way, so that's pretty good. I'm starting to setup movement functions. I'm still undecided about the thick hex outline (which matches the board game version). Make it look later, amirte??? #gamedev #indiedev #godot #onioncuttingadvice

0133

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 18/10/2025

We got ships on the board, and they're multi-coloured! A lot time has been spent trying to get the board to read a json file to set the size, location of ships and player counts. Pretty sure it's solid but need to add planets and other unit types. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #flyscreensalesman

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 17/10/2025

Mothership dev log: Testing out generating asteroid and nebula spaces on the board. Who doesn't love a good brown patch? #gamedev #indiedev #godot #farmersunite

061

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

And now a camera! You can zoom in and out. I bet you can't do THAT in a real life board game. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #socksoftheworld

0161

Peter (Warp Core Games) @warpcoregames.bsky.social · 15/10/2025

Mothership dev log: Got the board to generate with axial coordinates setup. I can also check for adjacency. Expect full release by tomorrow. #gamedev #indiedev #godot #flapjackrecipes
