Hey, quick question:
How do you stop yourself from wanting to work on your game all the time?

Does anyone know of some games with in-game music players?

Not specifically rhythm games but games that include a menu dedicated to playing its own OST. Ex. The tunes menu in Kirby's Epic Yarn or the music players in ACNH.

Any would be a big help💚

Things are shaping up this week with new...

⚡️Gameplay Pickup Prototypes
💢Character Animations
🏗️Environment Models

Trying to figure out what I want the access code terminals in the hub to look like is tough

Aiming for somewhere between arcade cabinet & computer terminal without it looking like an ATM or part of the background

Making my digital legos~

I use Game UI Database frequently for references!

Interface In Game is another great one

A couple evenings of work and the dialogue writer has made really good progress! It generates valid JSON that you can edit in real time, next up is dialogue options, saving the file and it's mostly complete!

This looks so sick!
I love having a full colour wheel available. It opens up so many options for character creation or trying to recreate characters.

Got the first pickup prototypes working! 🎉

It took a while to integrate them into our wave spawning system

Pickups are collected by the player on contact and can be spawned alongside enemies #gamedev

The resource generation part of our game is kind of 🫤 rn so I'm prototyping phases where energy pickups travel down the grid like Guitar Hero or Everhood

I'm hoping it'll make movement feel more intentional + help to break up gameplay + introduce fun challenges + manage pacing🎵

I learn the most from her 💚

It's kinda fun seeing just how many new hats you pick up while working on a game

I don't do much 3D modelling or environment design typically, but I want to make our environments look really nice so I've been making little building blocks that I can use to decorate levels

HI!! I hope everyone had a good Saturday. I know we've been quiet, but we haven't slowed down! Wanted to share with you all a sneak peek of some breakables👀 #screenshotsaturday #gamedev

Both are absolutely gorgeous! I'll always be a sucker for saturated colours but pulling them back made that lighthouse stand out so much more 💚

‪Things have come a long way...

Doing a little bit of an art experiment this weekend

Trying to find a good rendering style for promo art & capsules

If it fits well enough, I might also use this as part of the opening cinematic

Some upgrade icon concepts for the main 4 towers 🤖

During battle, you can purchase powerful abilities that change how your units act for even more strategic potential!
#gamedev #conceptart

This was the team's favourite icon concept by far

It doesn't quite match the others but it was too silly not to choose

Spent yesterday and today working on some tower upgrade icons for TEMP-OS

It's surprisingly difficult to create small designs that both look cool and also communicate mechanics effectively but I think I did alright!

I'll probably post them up on the @temp-os-game.bsky.social acc tmrw :]

The art style for Alterspective took a lot of iterations to nail down.

Here's part 1: the "beautiful corner" I used to initially nail down the basics of this style.

Wish I was better at marketing myself and exposing my skills to the world, wish I didn't overthink so much and had more motivation.

I'm proud of my music... And I feel I could blow people away if I'm given the chance, but it's a two way street, lack of energy definitely doesn't help!.

Introducing Alterspective - a game about perspective swapping.

Swap perspectives at any time and chain moves together to achieve impressive feats!

Posted a short devlog video for TEMP-OS!

It's my first time making these shortform update videos so I'm thinking I'll only get better at it as I go.

Hoping to make more of these soon!

Hit judgements are due for an upgrade but we're undecided on the PERFECT sprite

Which one do YOU think looks best?✨

Congrats @gamedevnet.bsky.social!!! Breach Riders looks awesome!

Gorgeous! The texture gives it so much style 💚
