Overdraw Games

Someone asked me how I made the ice crystals - here's my behind-the-scenes process from #houdini to in-game. With this setup I can produce a completely unique game-ready asset in about 5-10 minutes.

These meshes fracture really well and make for great destructibles.

Check out Frost Nova: a new ability that damages and slows down enemies. If the damage done by frost nova kills an enemy, they are frozen in an Ice Tomb that you can shoot and explode, doing even more damage to nearby enemies.

Thanks!

WIP of one of the new Special Abilities coming to Resistance is Brutal. You become a fire tornado with immunity to damage and burn through hordes of enemies.

It's #screenshotsaturday! Some gameplay from my solo-dev project, Resistance Is Brutal taken this morning. Wishlist Now on steam!

🔮Check out a new ability, Arcane Missiles!🔮

They pierce AND seek out enemies along their path. I love the little purple trails! You can also see the new "Fan Events" mechanic that gives you mini objectives during combat.

🤢🤮New ability: POISON CLOUD!
It's more lethal than your dogs' farts!
Poison ticks every second for low damage, but has a 10% chance to spread to nearby enemies. It's the slow death of hordes.

😆 I can't stop saying "Hulk Smash" when I'm jumping around like this. So satisfying! This is a prototype of an ultimate ability that will send you into 3 consecutive jump-smashes. #ResistanceIsBrutal

Thanks!

The thing I was mostly unsure about was getting a thousand enemies on screen at once, all pathing and colliding with each other while maintaining 60fps. I did it by using an open source ECS library called Flecs. That was a huge C++ endeavor and required a lot of self-teaching!

#ResistanceIsBrutal how it started vs how it's going.

The success of steam games is highly dependent on how many wishlists it has at release. Any wishlists would help a ton!

Check out some new graveyard level content from my #UE5 #solodev game, #ResistanceIsBrutal! Play as a "Runner" on an intergalactic TV Show fighting your way through multiple sadistic "episodes".

#indiedev #indiegame #screenshotsaturday

Yuki, the Queen of Blades will use swords, daggers, and other blade-based magic to slice and dice her way through the countless hordes in #ResistanceIsBrutal.

#indiegame #UE5

Check out some new footage of "Red", and how he tears through the horde with his assault rifle and grenades in #ResistanceIsBrutal, made with #UE5. Also features dynamic blood sim that is quite satisfying to watch pool up. Big UI push, too!
