Mathijs Pont | GameDev

I'm experimenting with a new minimalist technological art style for a game. What do you think?

A lot of things have changed in my life recently, I'll probably post a little more in the near future again as well as on those changes but for now stay happy and healthy <3 #gamedev #godot #indiedev

I got awesome reactions on Bodhi. A player mentioned they lost 3kg of bodyweight just using the journalling part.

Also got feedback: re-decoration was too sensitive. I included a check for "screen drag" to make it easier to redecorate for those without steady fingers.

"A world without Caesars".

Damn, you're awesome @jay.bsky.team !

Keep up the amazing work until there is no Via Appia for new Caesars to walk left.

👋 Hey there awesome person!

The first release of my game Bodhi is out!

The goal of the game is to build a cozy bathhouse for spirits by tracking the food you eat.

You can download it using this link (it's 100% free) play.google.com/store/apps/d...

#godot #indiedev #gamedev #solodev #art

Yes!

Wait, what? I think I missed something. Can you elaborate?

Revised version of the Shiko Workout you can do in Bodhi, with some camera shake.

Rikishi, or Sumo Wrestlers, are known to do Shiko over 300 (!) reps per day to strengthen their legs.

It's an interesting balance exercise and a fun one to do!

Awesome! Keep up te good work with the quails.

Bodhi 🐸, the paper-drawn game I'm working on, will be primarily a food journal focusing on nutrition.

But you'll also be able to do "follow-along" workouts with a Sumo Wrestler to gain extra xp.

Stay happy and healthy!

Hi guys! Zouden jullie mij willen toevoegen aan de starter pack? Of liever per mail een aanmelding?

Can you imagine all the years of hard work put into training the GPT models and somebody just scrapes it and uses it for it's own gain without your permission?

Terrible news indeed.

P.S. fellow Gamedevs; be careful when sharing/generating code on R1.

I added a Torii Gate to help welcome the spirits to the bathhouse.

When we went to Japan I saw so many, and learned that you should never walk through the middle as to not disturb the spirits walking through.

I love how HP forces me to use their "HP Smart" environment to make use of my 15 year old printer but still wants me to add that same printer "as new" every time I scan my drawings for game art assets.

Corporations are more disconnected from reality by the day.

I'm going to pick up teaching Physics soon.

Anyone know of a game that uses Physics Experiments or is built for simulating experiments in the classroom?

If not; I'll build one myself!

Video is of Dichroic Cubes for a demo.

Reposting is appreciated <3

I'd love to be added!

I paper-draw my own games. Is that applicable for the starter pack?

I'd love to join if that's possible!

I'd like to join!

Added a second Onsen option to the game. This time it's a big wooden circular tub.

I've added a sort of "porcelain" or "decorative" version of the Great Wave as a decoration option in my game.

Honestly when studying the original art I'm even more impressed at how it was made.

Have a great day y'all!

掃除の時間だよ！🧼

The bathhouse is getting dirty, some spirits come in to thoroughly clean themselves.

🧹 Make sure to keep it tidy!

Have a great day y'all.

#gamedev #indiedev #godot #art #drawing #ghibli

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your kind words.

Drew two new decorations for my bathhouse food journal game.

Not the best drawings I ever made but I think they add a nice touch to the game.

Stay happy and healthy <3

Sick!

Any idea why? With a recent update?

Probably the most dramatic photo I ever took of a book.

It's also a really boring engine choice because everything is pretty much preset and you can't really change the physics or anything.

Guys how do I fix this the shader of my water seems to load only half the surface. Any ideas? Could it be the DOF?

I'm using the REALWORLD engine, pretty strong on physics but it does have some bugs.

Game Reviews like these are so awesome to get from random strangers. I deeply thank you, kind person, that you took the time to write those motivating words.

It's a review for The Enchiridion a game-version of the book.
