Small details. The new blaster cannons now rotate to follow your ships crosshairs.
#MadeWithUnity | #IndieGame | #GameDev

Took a step back from Astrovirus development to transition into a new day job, still (slowly) working towards release. Updated the blaster cannons so that the blasters no longer start randomly in the middle of the screen.

More for the to-do list!
- effect for collecting resources from golden asteroids. These resources lower your exposure level and regenerate your shields.
- sneak peek at an upcoming collaboration with a friend on game music!

Astrovirus updates:
-powerups now flash when collected
-blaster power up drones now shoot where the player is aiming
-enemy attack ships now have a self-destruct sequence after both arms are destroyed (work in progress)

Astrovirus gameplay is more cohesive, but still noticing too much input lag. I've been replacing all my instantiate & destroy calls with object pooling, smoother gameplay incoming!

What high score could you get in Astrovirus?

This #FollowFriday I am sharing target locking mechanics for Astrovirus. Rockets are red for enemy ships and yellow for asteroids, auto-turret is green for viruses, and attack drones are orange.

Hey, Bluesky.

I'm excited to share what I've been working on. Here's a quick how it started vs how it's going for my game, Astrovirus.

Close up of my latest #Blender model in #Unity3D for #ScreenshotSaturday

Thank you 💚✌️ Your feedback means a lot to me

This #FollowFriday I am taking feedback on what this enemy attack drone does after you blast its arms away. Timed self-destruct with a weapon system interrupting shockwave or red plasma beam that damages your ship?
#GameDev | #IndieDev

New enemy type has made it into my latest test build of Astrovirus, along with a new auto-turret weapon that I most definitely will be tweaking the audio on 😅

Happy Sunday 💚
I really like how this new enemy transforms into attack mode. Working final touches on self destruct once you blast it enough times, can't wait to share.

Late #FollowFriday, early #ScreenshotSaturday
Finally sharing a teaser of the latest enemy added in game. More coming soon.

From initial design to rigged, animated, and textured. It's time to make this thing fly and shoot around in Astrovirus.

First look at initial design for a new enemy in Astrovirus. Character design and modeling are not my strengths, but I'm powering through it to give my game a unique and consistent look and feel!

Showing off updated asteroid debris scaling in the start menu. Happy Saturday 💚 ✌️

Updates to the lighting and blasters in Astrovirus. Added ship headlights, atmospheric laser lighting, and improved impact debris.
#IndieGame | #IndieGameDev | #MadeWithUnity

Spent some of the weekend working to enhance the lighting system and fix the asteroid debris scaling. Still need to track down a lighting bug before I show off a video.

Initial proof of concept (cube runner inspired) -> implementation with free art assets -> learning to create my own art assets -> polishing for release.
