Very first look at a cinematic sequence from my gameโ€™s opening! Sci-fi creds to those who can guess what movie intro inspired this scene heavily.

WIP concept art of a โ€œSaucer Hutโ€ from my solo game project Child of Zeta. Doing these for the more complex models before going to 3D. #conceptart #drawing #art #gamedev #indiegame

Haha for some reason he loves sitting on it when itโ€™s playing. It does cover the vinyl fully though, otherwise it wouldโ€™ve broken looong ago.

Don't call me crazy! One thing led to another, okay! Because my game is about aliens in their middle ages on Zeta Reticuli, I found this site listing stars within 50 lightyears... made a script to map them inside Unity... I swear this will somehow be in the game! ๐Ÿ‘ฝ #gamedev #indiegame #gaming #game

Added a more asserting sound when you light up a Shrine of the Third Eye, my gameโ€™s save points. What do you think? #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #sounddesign #gaming

Greetings Bluelings! Another Screenshot Saturday video from me to you. This has been long coming. A save system! Boring to make but do you really have a game without it? In CoZ these Shrines can be lit up to save your progress. Hope you like it. #screenshotsaturday #gamedev #indiegame

Yes, clearly how dead enemies should behave on timescale 0.

Hey all, I'm back after a nasty flu โ˜ ๏ธ. Guess I need to work on my physics + rag-doll behavior... Will post more fighting action from my game soon. #gamedev #indiegame #indiedev #gaming

My game will be topdown with lots of verticality and full 360 degrees view, so being able to see-through objects if they get between camera and player is a must. Been tweaking this a lot. Will also fade out objects completely when they get close to the camera. What do you think? #gamedev #gaming

My first #ScreenshotSaturday! Technically not a screenshot, but a little video of my current progress on my solo game project Child of Zeta. #gamedev #indiegame

I'm looking for a great game design doc system / wiki to organize my story and lore. I have a lot, so a one-pager is not going to work. Any good suggestions or great ones you've used? #gamedev #indiedev #indiegame #narrative #storytelling

As a solo indie dev I have this inside my head every night

My medieval little ๐Ÿ‘ฝ guards can be annoyingly good at defending themselves. Come close and they'll shield up. Follow if you want to keep up with the development of my indie game Child of Zeta. #gamedev #indiegame #gaming

I focus on small slices and try to complete those, then move on to next one. Only reworking old stuff if new stuff makes it obsolete or not function anymore. But donโ€™t really have a clear system ๐Ÿ˜ฌ
