designing a secret language for my game #gamedev

in addition to solar systems it has procedurally generated history, culture, puzzles, graphics, so might just be...

drawing some new sprites, this one turned out alright #pixelart

Yeah there are some crazy attempts to procedurally generate everything such as Ultima Ratio Regum

first pass on the procedural dungeon generation for my roguelike #gamedev #indiedev

Good point, this is actually giving me ideas haha...

I just thought about going inside a large enough backpack (or maybe a chest or crate), then waiting for someone or something to pick it up. So, smuggling yourself, basically. Or just rolling around the level inside the backpack/crate, as a sort of camouflage lol.

Shit that's on my wishlist, i gotta play it at some point.

This is giving me ideas...

just fixed a bug where the player was able to pick themselves up (maybe it should be a feature though...?)

now i realized the player can pick up walls too lmao #gamedev

art style test #gamedev

working on new areas #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Improved the clouds a bit. Now they're much rounder and softer looking. Muuch better. #gamedev #shaders

Made a shader that turns solid meshes into fluffy stylized trees/bushes #gamedev

Designing some new puzzle types #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Today I shipped the first playtest build of my game, so as a treat to myself I now get to make some fog gate shaders I've been wanting to do #gamedev

#gamedev

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind when the game needs more playtesters 🙏

Some new WIP screenshots. First private playtests hopefully this month, finally 🤞 #gamedev #indiedev #solodev

Haven't tried on a phone

open.spotify.com + adblocker ;)

Tbh I haven't tried it either but it looks promising haha

Visual scripting when using Unreal (haven't had to fallback to C++ yet).
C# when using Unity.
GDScript when using Godot (though I wanna try out C# with Godot).
And probably Odin if I write my own engine.

Basic video game genres that have been around since the 80s are buzzwords? 😅

Being aware of popular ideas that have influenced gaming for decades could make someone a better game designer 🤷

Code that reads: // verbose, repetitive :( list.Select(e => e.Thing()) // cool and amazing list.Select(.Thing())

Also:

I would say it's more of a Witness-like, but yeah also some Myst in there for sure 😁

some new in-development screenshots from my puzzle game #gamedev #indiedev #solodev #screenshotsaturday

Nice! Solo dev here, if there's still room :3

Thank you 🙏
